    Ok, let me think out loud here for a moment... Correct me if I'm wrong, PLEASE!!!

    I am going to switch power supplies and see if it is a power problem. but i want to clearify control settings and functions. The led array is set at the factory and can not be changed. Correct? PG16 of manual.

    The blue phillips screw is going to adjust the photocell brightness and will only adjust the time the the photocell tells the camera to switch from day to night. Correct? Pgs. 16, & 8 of manual

    Therefore it has no effect on the level of IR produced.

     

    Thanks,

    Thanks for response and the idea. I will do that and if neccessary I will take it down and bench test it again. there is, I believe, an adjustment screw for the level of ir. It's for that or the sensor, can't remember which. I will have to check the manual.

    What's wrong here?

     

    When I replaced my front camera I moved the existing ex40mnx camera with an 8mm lens and 940nm filter from the front of the house to the side to cover a walkway to the back. it actually is in a more restricted area than before, it is now 12 ft up and on the side of the house, above the gate pointed at a brick sidewalk that is picked up 5ft in front of the camera at the bottom of the picture to maybe 20ft max at the top of the picture. there is biege siding on the left, with a 10 foot tall juniper bush 20 ft in front of camera between the house and the sidewalk, the base is just out of the picture area , a narrow strip of grass and then a driveway to the right (also not in picture). there is a street light 30 ft beyond the viewing area. It does switch to b&w but fades to nothing and all snow as the sun sets.

    The problem is, when I walk right up to the camera waving my arms you can barely see me. I went out with a flashlight and it pick up great and can see clearly. turn aff the light and al snow. with that much to bounce off of it should see a person at 5 ft shouldn't it? They should be overpowered. What's wrong? IR not working?

    I would post pictures but the picture didn't go to the usb drive properly so onl have a day image, maybe tomorrow

    I like the extreme products, personally. They are expensive, but very good products.

     

    I believe the ex 46 is the same camera as the ex40 but without the IR

    I used these illuminators and they work great.

    I switched one for the ex82 and with it's 2 cameras it is amazingly better picture, but not covert.

    I recommend this extreme chart as a reference.

    Maybe ...I don't know? I want to know how much of the advertising is fact and how much is hype? I'm tired of being burned by not quite understanding all the twists of the jargon to get a good product. I've become very, very cynical about the advertisng and marketing of security products. What is not quite stated, but implied, is killing me. Straight answers are IMPOSSIBLE to get. Noone gives an answer that isn't coached or hedged in some way to be non-commital and non-specific. I feel like I'm dealing with politicians and used car salesmen. Is it a contractor thing too?

     

    Does the DVR actually record best quality images at D1(704X480) @ 30fps on ALL channels AT THE SAME TIME and play back those images at D1 also?

     

    Is it worth the asking prices?

     

    How does it rate compared to other high quality DVRs?

     

    What is really comparable to it?

     

    How many people actually use it?

    so far.... 2?

     

    Why or why not?

     

    Does anyone know?

     

     

     

     

     

    SORRY just frustrated

    It looks like a really good dvr by the specs, but how does it rate to GE/Kalatel, IC REALTIME, Bosch, Sanyo, etc. Why is'nt anyone talking it up or use it on big projects or "pro" jobs like the others? Does it truely do 30 fps of highest quality picture on all 8 or 16 cameras at once, or does the frame drop significantly like all the others?
