I love how people turn things around. First of all, I am not the OP, so why would you say that I did not state my criteria? Second of all, if the criteria was not mentioned by the OP, so rather than posting that analog cameras still have a place in this world so they can compete with IP cameras, (which makes no sense whatsoever), why didn't you ask what the criteria is for this 'çompetition'? Come to think of it, ALL of you are wrong because the OP was not specific enough with his question and everyone just threw out ideas and comparisons. All I said was in a competition from IP megapixel and analog, hands down the IP camera will win when it comes to resolution and image quality. Does anyone think I am wrong?

You may have to press the button on the front with 4 boxes on it. If you want cheap, not looking to record quality recordings, and just looking to put 4 boxes on a monitor as you said in your first post, than look on ebay for a used 4 channel dvr any brand, any model, and dirt cheap.

What your saying is like someone asking the forum "Can a ford taurus with a Lamborghini?" And than you say, well, a ford taurus is much less expensive, a ford taurus has a back seat so if you have a family of four, the taurus is needed, the taurus gets better gas mileage, the insurance is less money than a lamborghini, to repair a taurus it's less money, etc, etc. Seriously though, a ford taurus cannot compete against a lamborghini! Got my point?

Ummm, he asked if an analog camera can compete with an IP camera, not what the diffrerences are. An IP camera has better resolution, same if not better night vision technology, in most cases better color, and if you have POE, you don't even need a power supply. When you say analog cameras still have a place in low end market, why does that matter if someone is asking if an analog camera can compare to an IP camera? What does compatibility issues have anything to do with comparing the two? I stick with my comment, as far as quality and resolution as the OP is asking us, CAN AN ANALOG CAMERA COMPETE WITH AN IP CAMERA, I stick to my comment.........NO

Can any analog camera compete with an IP camera? NO

I used to work for a company that installed ICrealtime and for my own jobs I use Dahua equipment. I have noticed that some of the ICrealtime dvrs do not work in IDMSS and visa verca with the ICrealtime app and dahua dvrs. And I have noticed the same for the ICRSS and PSS, some dvrs connect, some do not. I do believe ICrealtime does something to their firmware to sort of make it their own. But, side by side, they look like the same exact equipment.

I've seen a picture of one and they look awesome. More IR's than the 1.3 and slightly bigger. I'm getting one as soon as they come out as well

It seems like a good deal because it's not quality equipment. Will it produce a picture on your monitor, yes. Will it record video, yes. But just keep in mind, you get what you pay for. You might experience issues at night because the IR's are causing issues, you might not be able to log in remotely everytime because the network card is not that good, you might not see that clear while playing back because the fps or the compression is not as good as a quality cctv system. Swann has a reputation for having lesser quality products. It's almost like saying this Toyota Camry has 4 wheels and drives, so isn't it as good as a BMW because it also has 4 wheels and drives?

Is this camera available yet?

Brand new in box. Never used once. Price is 150.00 shipped. Paypal is accepted.

Why not HDMI?

Maybe take an advil?

It doesn't make sense, but thankfully I already made that error and was able to help you out.

I'm not sure the max amount, but I remember I had that same problem. Lower the characters and let us know.

How many letters is the password you entered?

Firefox does not install active x, only IE. Only use IE for remote viewing.

Put the URL of the camera in ur trusted sites. try that

Why don't you show us how smart you are and actually posting some of your own ideas for this casino rather than bashing someone else. Let the OP decide if you 'saved' him from a bad purchase or not. We have no idea how big or sophisticated this casino is. The OP has not posted for days and I'm getting sick to my stomach going back and forth with you.

If it's not about cost, than why did more than one post you add up a total amount of my cost to the casino manager and yet everytime you were wrong and making up prices as you went along? I beg to differ and I feel so far I have contributed more than anyone here. You have not named one product that you would use if you were the casino installer, you have not suggested one idea to the OP. Is Dahua up to par for a casino, maybe not for some casino's but there is a difference between the Bellagio in Vegas and a casino in Trinidad or Yonkers,NY. I just wish rather than bash someone else's suggestion to the OP, bring up some of your OWN. (Since you are so knowledgeable) And if you are unable to help out the OP, than maybe it would be best if you didn't post at all. And thats not being hasty to you.................

Your my idol Tom

Wow, awesome my point .......understand poducts ......360 is the overview ......... then you have its segments all views from the one 360

Who said 25,000????? Are you for real?? I said 2500.00 for 10 dahua NVR's that can record 4 1080p IP cameras at 30fps. Please put on your glasses when you read my post. And yes, you can 'control' them??? Wtf? And I LOVE how you keep avoiding or never answer me when I ask how much would YOUR equipment cost the casino for what YOU would give them! Your awesome! And so smart as well!

I'll be honest. I did not like the 360 camera image. It shows a big area in one image bug it lacks detail. If your going to keep it zoomed out, how can you catch an incident and than zoom into it. In that video where they followed that lady around, what did she do and how did they catch her for them to follow her? They were very vague in that video and the reason is because they want you to buy their product. The video was a sales pitch. IMO fixed hd cameras at every table and machine and ptz's here and there either on guard or manual, is better than one camera that can see the entire floor.

Dahua Super NVR NVR6000, 128CH D1/ 64CH 720P/ 32CH 1080P real time recording, Compatible with D1, 720P, 1080P, 3M, 5M etc, 6 HDMIs output, main could output with all 128 channel video, others each with 4 different video channels, 16 HDDs each up to 3TB, could do Raid 0, 1, 5, 4 USB, 4 Raj45, 1 eSATA, with LCD NVR local, intel i series CPU I had mentioned in my previous post, for a casino, you can go with the 128channel nvr OR multiple NVR's. You keep mentioning 7000 for this NVR. Obviously you know it does not cost 7000. Others have noted you can pick up this NVR for far less and even half of that. Also, you are wrong, you do not need a dedicated monster server, this nvr is capable of having 16 HDD's and each up to 3tb. And you never seem to mention that it is also capable of inputing 64 720p cameras, or 32 1080p cameras. You also do not mention that it has 5 hdmi outputs that can display 4 cameras each and 1 hdmi that displays all 128 channels. I'm not saying this is the ONLY Dahua choice for the casino. Dahua has a 4 channel NVR that can record 30fps @1080p and it's under 250.00 bucks! If you buy 10 of those, you can record 40 1080p cameras at 30fps for under 2500.00. Now, you mention the price for switches and storage. The equipment that you would install does not require switches or storage? You mention labor, back up cameras, etc, you do not charge labor and extra parts? My point is, there are different choices with Dahua. If you were a Dahua expert, you would know this. Since you love to keep mentioning the cost of Dahua and what a waste it would be to install in a casino, PLEASE make a post of YOUR equipment and labor and lets see how much it would cost from you.
