marty 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Good to see this forum up and running again Someone drove a car or truck into garage door and stole my stuff. Setting up alarm system. About to try out Telular Telguard TG-9. Learning about CCTV cameras. See picture from Google maps, satellite view. Two car garage faces alley. Alley is narrow one lane road. See green, blue, red, and yellow triangles. This is what I think camera field of view will be? Draw triangles with Adobe Illustrator. Measure triangles with CAD program. CAD is Computer Aided Design. Look at: How to install security cameras CCTV Lens Calculator Here is what I come up with: Anticipated Target Distance (D), Target Area Width (W) Green triangle, entry door. 6 ft. (D), 5 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 5.76 mm Blue and Red triangle. Both directions of one lane alley. Hope to get license plates with these cameras 22 ft. (D), 8 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 13.2 mm, Higher mm number might be better? Yellow triangle. Want to see who is dumping mountains of trash in vacant yards across the alley. 40 ft. (D), 64 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 3 mm Want outdoor cameras, good quality, low cost, small size, should work day and night. No connection to internet. Wired not wireless. Looking at Tri-ed catalog See: American Dynamics Advanced Technology Video Bosch Security Systems Clinton Electronics Computar Ganz Digimerge Technology Digital Watchdog EverFocus Extreme CCTV Pelco Rainbow CCTV Products Samsung CCTV USA SANYO CCTV SYSTEM Speco Technologies VITEK Industrial Video and...... eBay Home > Buy > Electronics > Gadgets > Surveillance > Surveillance Cameras > Wired Cameras> 12,159 Search results Any suggestions as to what features I should be looking for in cameras?

Looks like another SPAMMER that made it an easy decision for me deciding on whom never to buy from. Thanks suky. Thanks for the reply to my question Suky. Put this project on hold but STILL do need to buy equipment. Look at ##### See lot of cameras, but do not see any brand names Look at ##### paper catalog from local place, see lots of brand names. Look at government cameras looking at me. See Pelco http://www.pelco.com/ Suspect ##### is selling equipment from China? The eBay stuff I looked at seems to all come from China or some where far away. I in USA, Buffalo, New York. Why does China stuff have no brand name? Is the brand name equipment the same as the no brand stuff form China. I got no knowledge on cameras and recording equipment. But DO want to see the license plates of people who do evil deeds. What to buy? and where to buy from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted August 23, 2009 THANK YOU Now, I know Tri-ed doesn't carry it but Arecont camras and Exacq NVRs will do what you want. I know that becuase these are the products I work with everyday. You could also look in to NUUO miniNVR for your recording solution to bring down the cost if your don't have a spare PC laying around.

Tailbone215 0 Posted August 23, 2009 Look at http://www.tri-ed.com/ paper catalog from local place, see lots of brand names. Thanks for the link!! I was rooting around that site and it looks nice. I must contact them for pricing. I'm still not sure if they are a truly a supplier/distributor or a storefront for a dropshipper? Either way it looks very promising. Thanks.

I am still more confused as ever as to what equipment to buy all links to online stores are removed as per the forum rules: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3147 Sorry about that Rory. Did not read the rules. Update on my search for cameras. Email Suky, and place that advertize with banner on top of this forum. Also called place that mail me catalog. Recommendations were all over the place. High and low prices and all different recommendations for lens. Just to refresh your memories here is satellite view of Two car garage that faces alley. Alley is narrow one lane road. To cut down on cost I have decided to use fewer cameras. What do you all think about one camera to view license plates? Here in New York cars have front and back plates. Green triangle, entry door. 6 ft. (D), 5 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 5.76 mm Red triangle. Hope to get license plates with this camera. Camera will be mounted about 8 foot high. 22 ft. (D), 8 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 13.2 mm, Higher mm number might be better? This is the important camera. Without license plate numbers, cops will never find bad guys. Yellow triangle. Want to see who is dumping mountains of trash in vacant yards across the alley. 40 ft. (D), 64 ft. (W), Focal Length Required 3 mm Looking at camera manufacturer web sites. These web sites look way more professional then online stores web sites. Better web site might mean better quality equipment? Here is chart of cameras that I see in Tri-Ed catalog. Sorry about large image size. Go here to see chart on new page in browser. http://voltev.com/cctvforum/camera_chart01.gif Any one have any suggestions as to what cameras to buy? Cameras not on chart are fine.
