PTZ... wow!

[myplace46 0]

Hey guys,

I just had to express my joy regarding my Toshiba IK-DP30A PTZ camera I got last month.

I hadn't done anything with it because I didn't have a housing for it. Well today I decided to hook it up temporarily in my carport

just to see what it will do. Well, I'm amazed, the IQ is better than any of my cams and being able to adjust the PTZ, iris and focus

all with my mouse, is really a blast! I could sit here and play with it for hours.

Anyway, now I see why these things cost so much. Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention. because of a medical condition, I some times have a problem

with the feelings in my hands and often fumble things. well as I was working on putting up the cam... I dropped it... on the concrete... head first.

well, after recovering from a mild heart attack, I checked it out... only damage was a slight crack in the plastic dome head, everything works great!

What a relief.

Hi john lets get back to your PTZ

 

how have you got on with finding a encloser for your camera ??

 

ptz are good wait till you start to learn alarm and sensor trigger they get even better and are good for home use.

i wish i was still at school... they got a 2000+ camera cctv system installed (over 500 of them PTZ) the year after i left

i know a student there who is also interested in cctv and they let him play about with stuff... i suggested to him to suggest to them using the alarm inputs and...

guess what he got to spend a week doing instead of lessons

Hey Tom, still looking for an enclosure, I can't believe they want more for the pendant housing than I paid for the camera!

I'm considering buying a generic one and adapting it to work with my cam.

Yeah, I'm looking into getting my camera system and alarm system working together... all I need is a little more time and a lot more money!

Cheers,

John

That's pretty cool, for your friend. you guys remind me of myself when I was in high school, I was always into doing stuff the other kids didn't care about.

Nice cam, I picked up a Ultrak Honeywell KD6i High Speed PTZ off ebay for $50 bucks and it works great.

Your Toshiba looks similar to a costar, Nelly's surplus may have a dome for your cam that is for a Costar that you may be able to get to work.

Installing is one thing. Watching & operating cameras all day from a room of monitors is another. Whats the turnaround like in the Surveillance dept Carl? It seems like a pretty boring, not to mention eye straining job.

Actually, our staff has been pretty stable for a number of years. The thing is, everybody thinks all we do is watch cameras (boring) but often enough there are things going on to pique the interest.

 

Humans are the strangest animals!

Next time I'am in your casino in S. California can I take a tour?

 

Thanks

Sorry, not of the Surveillance Department. That would require Gaming Commission approval, which is strictly limited. I believe you'll find that is standard policy among casinos.

Indeed. Just to get into my rooms in the state I'm in requires you to be a Gaming Commission licensed vendor.

 

Vegas, on the other hand... I've been in several Vegas rooms. They're actually not as exciting looking as people/television would have you believe. Also, I do NOT miss staring at monitors and following people for 40 hours a week.
