sorry it is taking so long. The craziest thing happeaned. I pulled a system remotly to take a snapshot and just so happeaned to see someone stealing from this store while I was online. So I called the owner and they caught them! They are loving me now! I will post some when I get home. Had to go down to the location.

give me a minute and I will post some pics of the cam 53 day and night

cam 53's are great for the price. One of the best affordable. I cant even count how many of those we have sold.

oh ya there is cameras in those housings. No I am not one of those people

dang where do you live? crackville? I have got all kinds of housings and mounts all over my house and never have been broken into. the people across the street and people 2 doors down were broken into 2 weeks ago in the same night. But they avoid my house

the only housing I have used for those are the pelco housings with heater and blower. They are not discreet but work great. But then again what pelco housing dont work great? For that price they should

yes that is the IR's

what do you think I can do to get rid of that?

do you mean in the yellow is the beam reflecting back into the lens?

yes that is me and my future surveillance system engineer. (he is in training) You have to start them out young

ok I got it a little better and a day image

they were not cheap. not these atleast

there is no cover. That is a dome.

that right there looks like crap. Their cam 53 looks 100 times better. You cant even see anything at the bottom because the ir's are backing up so far in the lens.

even worse sorry if it hurts your eyes. I promise that will be the last one

have not had any experience with that particular camera. But what I do know is that I have had the best experience having cameras for license plate recognition when I have them closer to the ground almost looking straight ahead at the plates.

ya i know just wanted to try to keep us from hooking to far off the fairway. Ya you are right about the person making some money. I believe right now is a good opportunity for a lot of people to make some big money if they seize the opportunity that is out there. I also believe a lot of companys are about to get left in the dust because they are not keeping up with the changing technology. The ones that are investing in what they are used to and not the changing trends. Wait a minute. Now i have gone to far off.

lets not start this whole pc based vs embedded again or we will really have dias tech wishing they never came here for info. All the info you can find on that long long long overly discussed topic is easy to find. But yes you definitly need to get them into the dvr mindset. I am not just saying this, they are much better off with a dvr than a vcr.

dias tech, The connectors you are probably looking at are din connectors. Several years ago there was a trend of having din connnectors. It provided power and video along the same cable. Well those are mostly being phased out. One of the reasons is because running power and video on the same cable is really not worked out as well as once thought. Interference and other problems. Most now like you said are running power in one cable and video on the other with bnc ends. I cant speek for everyone in this forum, but I do know that we never install time lapse vcrs anymore. Have not in years. DVR's just open up a whole realm of possibilities that analog could not. If you are looking at everything from a price perspective you will lean towards a vcr. But you have to look at it in the perspective of what will actually "fit their needs". Dvr's give you much better recording. Motion detection. Remote viewing. Alot more storage time without ever having to change the tapes or even worry about changing anything. If they want something inexpensive get a inexpensive dvr and show them the VALUE in it. Dont keep going back to the price. Because I am shure we all would like everything we want to be inexspensive. But when it comes down to it, we want whatever is the greatest VALUE not whatever is lowest price even though it is not what I need. Hope this has helped.

hey man your website brings up nothing http://wwww.allcss.com

ya like he said make sure the fresnal zone is not hitting th water. Make sure your points are mounted higher and that should not be a problem.

oh got a good cheap thing for that rory. Go to walmart and they sell a glasses cleaner with a wipe cloth. its green cloth. Dont use the cleaner just the cloth. It works great. Cost about 2 dollars. if the lens is real dirty then spray the cleaner on the cloth. Wipe the lense. Then use ANOTHER cloth to wipe it dry. If you use the same cloth you will get streaks real bad.

ya thats good

ya he is right about the lcd's they are not good for focusing. And rory to deal with night day issue. Get a #5 welders glass and place it in front of the lens and it makes it dark to the camera. So you can take care of the day and night, during the day. Saves alot of headache.

there is nothing. no boxes nothing. I am thinking these are just housings. Nothing else. There seems to be too many of them. Most people cant afford that.
