yea, that is it. it is round. oh well, i'm sure it's too old to try and round up a lens anyway. i'll just use the ole' thing the way she is. thanks for the input.

the electrical lead for the lens. my others have a square plug, and this one has a round one that is larger.

I recently purchased a Burle color camera (model TC 372), nothing to write home about...but it works good. I am interested in upgrading to an automatic iris lens for it, but, this camera has a different connection for an AI lens than my other cameras have. Is there any place on the net, of forum, where I can get some education on the different power plugs used and any other information on lenses to help me get the correct one. thanks-brian

thanks for the reply. i took your advice, and it worked!!!! i hooked the terminals marked ~ and ~ to the power (the symbols made a bit more sense after reading your reply) and worked like a charm. thanks again!

I recently purchased a Javelin JE3824BW camera used and did not get the manual with it. I have connect other cameras on my system without any trouble, but this camera has a bit more complicated configuration for power. (in other words, my other cameras only have 2 or 3 places to connect power and this one has 6) G, V1, +B, ~, G, ~. I'm just not confident enough to guess where the power goes. 24vac I am assuming that it has more connections due to the fact it has an auto iris lens. Any help, suggestions, directions to look, or even off the wall remarks will all be appriciated. thanks- bk

excellent... i can see that i should expect to spend more that i was origanally goin to....but, i would rather spend more, and be happy...than by cheap and be pissed everytime i looked at them. thanks again for the advice... u da man!!! ~brian

ahhhh.... ic.... that makes sense... sounds like good advice... i hate to look a gift horse in the the mouth, but i have another question... what would u recommend for cameras... i would like the outside camera to withstand weather and such (i like in the midwest us) with decent quality and a couple for the inside also with decent quality... can i get these for under a 100bucks a piece? also, do u think i need a heated/fan housing for the outside one? it will be mounted under an awning next to a motion light? what are your feelings about leds? is it possible to buy decent used ones? and i promise, this is my last post... well, at least that is my plan! gulp! thanks again-brian

i have an extra but older (4yrs, but works great)viewsonic 17crt that i used w/ my pc till recently.... will that work? i mean, will it connect? can i "adapt" the output on the dmr to the video input cable on the monitor? monitor just has the standard 15(or so) pin non-removable video input cable...

i c...thanks for all the info. i really appriciate it!! i will be making camera purchases and a monitor purchase asap... cant wait to get it goin!!! thanks again for da help...brian

cool! that is the unit i have! mine came in a "plain" wrapper, so i wasnt able to tell who it was made by. as far as lighting, it is fair. there are a number of street lights, and i also have motion lights that work well. even at that, i am assuming that without actually viewing them in my situation it might be hard to tell how well they would work? true? as far as a budget goes, well... i guess ima really not sure. i would rather spend more money and be happy as opposed to spending less and being pissed with the performance. make sense? i guess i was kinda hopin to spend about 100 bucks or so each on the outside cams. (or less, ya know?) my unit does have the LAN connection. so, i would like to be able to view online later. whats up with the single monitor connection? will a color monitor connect with a single connect? can i use an old pc monitor w/ bnc connect? or, would it be better (or possible/cost effective) to run it through my pc? thanks a ton for the reply! it has brought some "darkness" to "light" so to speak!!!!!! thanks-bk

hello- im not sure if this is in the correct spot on the forum for this question or not. but, i know one thing, if a person wants good advice, a forum is the best place to go, so here i am. i recently purchased a DVR-9n-120 unit with HD from a friend who purchased it on line from Supercircuits http://www.supercircuits.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=4717. i am trying to figure out what cameras/lenses/housings/mounts/monitor and so on i need. or, what would work/be best. i have examined the manual that came with the unit, although, it seems all but worthless in this aspect. at their site, there is little help also. i guess the biggest prob is that there are SO many choices!!!!!! good grief!!!!! i need a cam inside, and 2 outside(at least). i am just looking for a basic set up, but something that works decent. reading the manual, i cant even decide if the unit is color or not. the guy i got it from has his up and going w/ a b/w monitor, but it looks as if it is a color unit according to the site. although, the connections on the unit do not. there is only one connection for the monitor (looks like the color ones have 3 connects or more? correct?) i am certain that most of you are tired of ignorance from peep like me...but, i am begging for some direction! any suggestions? i dont even know what questions to ask@#$#@&! thanks for your time- bk
