Miami, FL...... joe

need a wide angle camera to mount outside retail store. not to ID anyone but more for remote viewing of location. basically be able to see outside shop front area.. have ptz capability or one wide angle... not sure of options but a price range of $250-500 is do able for 1 single camera. thanks! Joe

Some cameras can record directly to NAS, but both must support it. If your NAS has an FTP server, some cameras may also be able to ftp to it directly. yes nas also has ftp support... cant stay away from looking at HD ip cameras... picture quality is just amaizing... anyone have recomendations on some hd cameras i can check out (share or ftp) LMK...

I need 2 specialized cameras to produce if needed good picture that produces a useful shot to identify someone (hold-up or robbery purposes, daytime operation) -planning on one camera on top of cashier aiming at someone standing in front of cashier counter, -second camera for front door entry, to capture when they come in. Ceiling mount location is approx 10 feet... so I am having hard time avoiding the " down looking shots" Cameras are not far from target spot, but I think some zoom might help? My hardware on hand: retail floor space not large... approx 25ft wide x 50 feet long (open area) Nuvico AL-805 DVR Cameras on hand are 1 Panasonic WV-CF284's and some other cheaper cameras for time being Altronix 12v/24v power supply RG59 copper coax Siamese cable

outside there is room top and side of door, but thats another camera requirement.. I was going to try different locations , i have room to side left/right side of door.. theres a wall 90deg to left side of front door (looking from inside)...

not to change subject but I like the idea of door camera pointing inward.. I was also considering HD IP camera... my dvr cannot handle HD and we have a NAS for storage.. can any of these HD ip cameras record without a pc? possible record to NAS share?

thats true!! but how can avoid the looking down effect if camera goes on celing or top of door?

I can go back 10 more feet but wont I need zoom ?? Idea is to get recognizable face shot if needed... thanks

come on guys? cant you help here! joe

Right now camera is approx 11-12 feet away from door.. but we have room to go further away if needed...

need some help... Looking at the wv-cw484 flush mount and came across several lens options.. can someone help with correct lens for front door coverage? thanks!

YES there is quite allot of sunlight coming from door... since I have it close (with the not so good looking down view) glare is not that bad... but if moved further back the glare will for sure affect it... that 484 looks stout! is there a equivalent camera without the armor (vandal proof) does the 484 have any zoom capability?

The cashier camera cannot move back since its near wall already. Door camera: I was thinking of farther back (this will make image angle better) but I guess I need to compliment it with some optical zoom to bring image back in. Budget: Upgrading cameras one at a time as budget allows.. so if the results for 1 good camera is justifiable (wife ) I don't mind spending more cash for good optics.. we are not rich but I also understand necessity. I rather have less cameras better quality than worthless many angle shots. Also dont want to spend money on radical camera that my dvr wont take advantage... thanks Joe
