most devices that output hdmi also have composite out (yellow/ red/ white rca). somewhere in the device's menu you can select how the audio is output. example: digital, hdmi, component.

What make/model touchscreen monitors have you used with success? Just tried a 22" Dell and no bueno....

Guess I'm shipping it back.

?

How did the test go? I need to box up and ship this Dell back if I can't find a way to make it work.

Anyone have any experience with this: http://www.cabletronix.com/pdf/st-f35testf.pdf 3.5" LCD, multimeter, cat5 tester, ptz controller, ptz data analyzer, video signal generator, even 1amp 12vdc power output for temporarily powering camera... pretty slick looking Also a bit cheaper than Rapport or Ideal. Like most things in the CCTV world, it's been re-branded a dozen times so if you've bought one I'd be interested what you gave for it.

Also, I don't believe some of Aver's demos are real. I remember connecting to one demo on their site in Firefox and it worked. No active x stuff and video displayed... hmmmm....

Its possible they have more than one machine with the same cameras looped to them on that same IP address

this is correct

They told me its not avail in US

Aver touchscreen has been discontinued in the US. You're saying I can install a driver on the linux nano???

That is a Pelco box camera housing, over 2 feet long... and it's checkin' out a back door of a fast food place... What the hell is in that thing??

Thanks for the reply. You've used with the Avermedia EH1004 and EH1008 Nano dvrs?

Anyone know typical transmitter range for line of sight? Obviously there's a lot of variables in the field, but I'm trying to design a system.

Lol, you took the words out of my mouth. motion blur during the middle of the day? tsk tsk acti

+1 Aver Nano. Not perfect, but for the money I havn't found better

I didn't miss any point... that's why I said "I can dig it" I agree, that project looks awesome.

Holy moly. You mean the user manual was correct? That's lame as a cucumber in the sun. Anyone have any ideas when the Geovision cards will be able to handle the resolutions that the camera's are putting out? I still notice that Geovision only lists a 1024x768 window mode. Is that seriously still in place, meaning, if I have a widescreen monitor, the Geovision app only runs in 1024x768 after all this time? Holy Moly. IP cameras have nothing to do with analog capture cards. only that IP camera recording software (nvr) is sometimes bundled with software that comes with capture cards, like avermedia's cards

HA! I have a $400 PTZ on my house that's 100x better, but I can still dig it.

K.I.S.S.

Home Depot (or equiv) or plumbing supply houses usually carry o ring kits. Nice to have for those butter finger "oh $%&*!" moments on a ladder/ scissor lift.

Thanks Rory. I can't tell if the headlights are on in these pictures. Basically, in my case, the picture washes out in the night with the Arecont 5100DN without an IR. I am going to try it next with your suggestion of using a low intensity IR (keep going up in intensity, if needed). If this setup doesn't work then I will use an analog camera (like you) for night time use and keep the Arecont for daytime. I picked up this Arecont camera (brand new) from Ebay for $150 and the 50 mm Fujinon lens for another $25 so I can easily afford to use two cameras for this purpose. Cheers. It's been my experience (both megapixel and analog) in order to capture plates at night, you need to set the shutter speed extreamly fast. Min 1/60-1/120. Its the only way to rid enough motion blur on moving vehicles to read plates. Problem is, that high of shutter speed lets in very little light. Hence the need for lots of IR. This will bounce off the reflective plates but plates will be about the only thing in the picture you'll see. This is why you generally have 2 cameras for LPR setups. 1 plate cam (high speed shutter) and 1 overview (normal speed shutter).

What about a moving vehicle
