I have a Dell 400SC that runs like a champ, rarely exceeds 15% CPU with 8 cameras recording at 640x480 30FPS.

what's the price?

I have 3 of these cameras outdoors: http://www.intellicamusa.com/G4-SH18DN.htm Up until now they have performed very well. But then something strange happened with the first snowfall of the season. With my cars and driveway under a blanket of snow, my driveway camera blacks out in "night" mode. When I turn on my driveway light, the image is back. When I turn the driveway light back off, the camera switches to night mode, is ok for about 5 seconds, then fades/warps to black. The other two locations I have this camera (back deck and backyard) are OK with the snow, but they don' t have the same flat surface as the driveway cam. Is this an over-exposure problem (reflection of the IR light off of the snow)? What can I do to correct this? Could the camera be defective?

I gave the camera another 250mA of power and that fixed it. The IR array was drawing too much power for the camera to transmit in night mode. Cameras are still top notch in my opinion, especially for the price. Not sure why it needs 500mA of power when it is listed at 210mA, but I'm thinking maybe because it is completely exposed to the elements (cold).

is Auto Gain Control the same as auto-iris?

looking for the difference between 4.11 (I'm running now) and whatever the most recent version is. Thx.

Bump...can someone answer this? Thx.
