Are these UTP recievers cool with up the coax commanding?

ActiveX works great on Windows machines, it does not on Linux or Unix. Geovisions remote client requires ActiveX, that basically means it requires a Windows client. Firefox on windows works because the Windows API exists and so ActiveX plugins work. I don't think ActiveX works on Mac, doesn't matter what browser tries to register the ActiveX control. Might read over. http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.13/13.06/ActiveXControlsforMac/index.html

It depends on some variables, the servers are basically the same. I use the recording hardware based on the customers specific needs. In this instance he doesn't need much aside from D1@480fps and ease of use. I guess I should have mentioned this thing is totally indepentant and mount on the wall. You can put the displays via composite multiplex wherever you choose. I can also add an amp/splitter of you want tons of displays however only Geovision and Netvision have provisions for full on Matrix control (that I know of). If you want you can mount touchscreens on the front of it, but really that defeats the point of me making it look like a breaker box. See the crown jewel for the thief is stealing the recorder, so don't make the damn thing obvious. For a couple bucks more I'll throw in a broken VCR to throw them off. Heck thats a damn good job for those Clover/Q See systems! Maybe they are good for something.

Howdy, be sure to share what you know and have some fun!

The encoders in MPEG4 cams get hot enough to work as a heater themselves! PoE is a good thing, you can centralize power and I can upsell better power systems that run the whole IT room.

You should probably just Pm dealers around here, someone will build you REAL cable. Most of the "plug and play' premade wires are junk, have them just sell your RG59 siamese by the foot, terminated. If they use twist-ons you can remove them to pull the wire and then reinstall them when complete.

I turnkey system from me with those specs runs about $4k USD. That includes power sources too. You wire it up then call me ping my server and I'll config it remotely, after that all you do is call and I can control/modify it offsite. You are basically skimming the borrom of the bucket with this Clover, Q See crap.

I'm thinking you have a trouble with ActiveX then. You could try running parallels or one of the other 32bit windows on a mac apps. Basically ActiveX is a Windows thing.

No just deductive reasoning, that pic is larger then CIF as it is. Now it very well could have been CIF, then cropped, then resized which would account for the quality loss.

It's the last option under WAN configuration. "Port number for web configuration" Change that to something other then 80.

Turn off remote admin on the router or forward port 8080 outside to port 80 inside and then connect using port 8080. Basically seeing the router config lets you know you got into your network.

That was VGA or more at one time but it has been modified. Basically I think they cropped out the guy in black on the left (248 pixels) and the customers at the top (80 pixels). Plus they kinda squared it up.

Because of the high bandwidth use on the PCI bus, the fix is an Intel chipset.

I'm kinda shocked that is their demo video, many many many systems would be able to make out that plate.

Do they require logins for the classroom cameras? If not I have built systems like this before, you don't need much bandwidth as all viewers see the same feed at the same time. You stream once to my webserver and then it's megapipe takes over. As a matter of fact I have a background project going similar to this right now. Totally unrelated to child care but the same basic idea. Also no activex required works on all OSs from the client end. EDIT: You can solve the login problems by configuring the webserver to request it.

I am 100% VGA or more but not one in a casino, yet. Without seeing the video you are talking about there is no way to know.

I was getting at enough static to actuall blow the resistors leads. I agree it may have dies but it didn't burn up or fry.

If you use a recessed vandal dome you can steal heat from the other side of the wall.

When you connect to the back of most dedicated units you are mearly seeing an uncompressed feed straight from the camera being switched from input to input. It will always be superior to encoded and compressed video, no matter what. Unfortunately that doesn't help at all for evidence.

I serisouly doubt you "burned" the balun. Either lighting struck the area, you dropped it, or you drag your feet on carpet.

You might be better served (and suprised, GE has a badboy WDR VD) if you also limit by form factor. Say vandal domes, the results although probably similar I don't think the SDIII Panasonic will fare as well. This OBVIOUSLY includes some kind of bang:buck correlation. You may like me find the GE has the bang:buck edge over the Panny in vandal domes. For my residential customers it's hard to sell a full on box and housing. Even though everyone knows thats really the way to go. The bang:buck kills ExtremeCCTV dead, they aren't THAT much better (if at all, in select areas). Also lenses should be standardized if possible, others make the SDIII work even better. I have never sold the Panasonic/Panasonic 484, I always use someone else's lens. On box cams I would use the same lens for all tests. As such I don't think the GE mentioned above should be penalized because it was delivered without a lens. I would expect vandal domes to be delivered with a lens, soo thats kinda impossible. In a perfect world... ( I used to be a R&D and QA lab guy so I am picky about tests and what you measure.) Next round you might PM GECAMGUY here, he ain't skeerd. Also a breakdown of components... I have seen good cams with crap lens, good lens on crap cam, crap cam and awesome encoder, awesome cam and crap encoder. It goes on and on, I am glad I am in a position to pick and choose rather then develop and deploy. Some get cut off at the knees over a 10% part. Of course thats why I get paid, I know I can save you $ by swapping and intermixing the better/best of field depending on the budget. Also all the OEMing makes this terribly difficult, who really gets the credit? The guy who sent it to you, the guy who dreamed it up, the guy who made it real? Thats a bigtime PITA!

You are wasting your time, you already found the best bang:buck NTSC cam.

A card with an output and a single channel modulator.

Have you tried setting it at a fixed framerate? It is impossible for it to achieve more then 30fps, it is also impossible for it to achieve 30fps while using the crossbar (more then 1 cam). I would try setting all 7 cameras manually to 4fps and see how that does. Even still 30/7=4.2 so 4fps across all 7 cams is pretty unlikely to happen, IIRC you lose a frame every time you move the crossbar. That would mean 23/7 = 3.28 which is not too far from what you are saying.

That thing is a POS, I had a client contract me to redesign those so they worked decently.
