Jesus christ! Some of what you said is true but most is your opinion. Latency is not that bad. Hell I on a daily basis work with a client that is one of the largest electrical companies in the US and I have to Remote Desktop in to a computer at their headquarters to get access to the video at the substations and it is not that bad. We are talking milliseconds. Second you can get better overall quality if you have the capacity on your network with IP megapixel cameras. End of story. I have yet to see any HD analog cameras. Not saying there is not any just have not seen any. And if all cameras are analog andrt all the analog ca just being converted to digital why would someone not just convert all the cameras at the head end to "convert" to megapixel. Its because the mechanism used to capture the image is yes analog however the processing of the image at that point is digital and not just converted. Isaac Systems Engineer II

I did not read all the reply's. So excuse me if I repeat some information. When you are wanting to put your entire system on the network there are many things you need to do first. First you need to find out exactly what you can partition of for the video system. In terms of bandwith what do you have available? 1G? 100M, 10M, 100K? Ok maybe that last one was a stretch but you get the point. Buying all the nicest cameras in the world does not do you a bit of good if you do not have the means to transport the video. Once you get an idea of the amount of bandwith you have available you can start to figure out exactly what that means in terms of # of cameras, resolution, frame rate, and so on and so forth. You also need to get some kind of threshold of what type of quality that you need at a minimum to get the results that you are looking for. That way you start to make out a system level synthesis and operational scenarios. Hope that gives you a starting point Hope that gives you a starting point t.

thats not a ground loop. Thats some other issue. Probably the recorder

ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha. What a idiot. Thats pretty stupid. Hey wait a minute i think thats my wife driving! J/k.

use a esprit type camera. (pelco)

its only up to 305.00 for 1 more day. Good deal.

ya know i have sat there with a laser pointer and purposely pointed right into ccd cameras to see if it would fry it and it did absolutly nothing.

intelligent software has a long way to go as analytics right now just suck.

I am selling a still in the box axis 233d ip camera starting on ebay for $99.00 I know that if you post a link that the mods will delete it so the user name is swoop737. And it ends on july 27th at 7:00pm. When you do a search for axis 233d click advanced search and search titles and descriptions. I have a bunch of surveillance equipment from my old company that i need to get out of my house. And so am selling for very little. Have a good one.

i have several really nice glass display cases that were used for like 4 months. But the shipping on these would be outragous. They are heavy as hell

what is ultra vnc?

that will peform just as well as the box camera. I think you can change the lens. but never needed to. You will like those domes.

well its on 6 cameras. "what have you checked yet" well not alot seeing as this is 741 miles (birds flight) away from here. I just wanted to see anyone seen this before i fly someone out there to service it.

i have a good amount of experience with analytics. Just keep in mind that its never plug and play like they sell it to you. Ya what would be a good test is someone standing real close to the camera,a bright light shining into the camera, while a large amount of dust or smoke partially filled the camera view also. An analytics based system needs to be designed from the camera in, instead of designing from the recorder to the camera. Its all about your fov. Analytics inside compared to analytics to an outside cameras is another major jump in how many false alarms you can expect. got to run. Have a good one.
