or what about..............................

I'm sure I have seen clear

If your like me, now the next time you install analog, you'll keep focusing and focusing thinking the picture could get better.

I just landed a job for a warehouse in PA and I'm installing 8 2100's and NVR. He didn't even ask for megapixel, he asked

for a camera system, thats all. I'm paying like 20 bucks more for the camera than I would an analog. The NVR is just a tad bit

more, and I have to buy a POE, but I priced the job in order to make the profit I was looking for so he's getting megapixel

whether he likes it or not cause thats what I would rather install. Plus, no one works there and he's ordering a dedicated

broadband modem strictly for the camera system, so it should work out nicely.

I'm not talking frame rate, I said the bit rate.

I've noticed the higher bit rate IP cameras start out black on the mobile phone and than a few seconds later the image comes up.

The analog cameras come up quicker. Try lowering the bit rate on the extra stream and see if it speeds up, but play around

with the rate so you don't blur the image too much.

OK, I'm installing an IP system with dahua 2100 1.3mp bullets in a couple of weeks but in another state about a 2 hour drive.

I'd rather not go back for anything if you know what I mean. I was told by the owner that it is rather dark around his

warehouse where I will be installing the cameras. He's on a budget and has his heart on IP megapixel so Dahua is my choice.

The 2100 bullets are extremely reasonable priced and will fall right in our budget. We are going with 4 outdoor and 4 indoor

for location. He wants to keep an eye on his employees both coming and going and while inside as well. Anyway, I was thinking

of running a cat5 for the cameras and an 18/2 for an external IR illuminator near the camera connected to an 8 channel camera power supply. Now, I have never done this before

so for those who have with success and knowledge, where is the BEST location for the illuminator, above, under, or next to the camera? What tips should I know or things to avoid by using these if any? And lastly, are those 10.00 42IR ones on ebay worth

anything at all? I am thinking of putting one illuminator per camera so 8 illuminators with the good 100.00 ones would throw

us way off budget. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

The less means of patch the better. Just buy RG6 BNC's.

Install a pre entry burglar alarm on the barn, or stick a pitbull in there and every night walk in with a flashlight and

beat him with a bat till him passes out. Than the next time the perp walks in with a flashlight, the pitbull will eat

him for breakfast!

Try Tina at DSDCCTV, they have them in stock, you'll get the camera in a few days.

That's where I got the one I have. Took about a week to get to me.

Either the video or a still image of what you saw would be nice. Is the barn haunted?

I'll be quite honest, I'm not exactly sure if the masking will save hdd space or not, but if it did, I would think it would

be so miniscule. If you really are truly concerned about hdd space, first off have your DVR up and running for a month and

do a search and see how long you can search back to. If the amount of time is not enough in your opinion, than you can

make sure your recording motion only, test the sensitivity of the motion recording and lower if need be. What are your

fps? If your at 30fps, you can drop that safely by at least 1/2 to save some hdd space. And lastly, is your dvr capable of having an additional hdd installed or can you upgrade the existing single slot to a bigger hdd?

If empire is out of stock on a camera, they take it off their website.

Were you on acid when you took that pic?

I thought the same, the night video had some noise in it. It's possible due to it's viewing such a wide area? I'll play around with my 3200S as soon as I get it in the mail.

I'd like to know if anyone is interested in a new, but open box Honeywell 16 channel DVR with 1tb hdd. I can take a pic of it for real, but this is the same DVR as what I am selling. Either post or PM me if interested.

Safari couldn't play the video, but explorer did. Anyway, I made sure I clicked 1080p and watched your video. The camera

looks real good daytime. I would love it even more if you had a night time video though. Thats the true test of a camera IMO.

You can use any of these cameras. They are all IP based so they connect to the same network as your computer. And

you can install FREE software onto your PC to record the camera.

I had an issue with a DVR that I purchased from them. They logged into it and they sent me a new one and return postage

to send the old one back. They even sent the new one before I mailed the old one back. I would say they are up to par.

If you mount it in the door jamb, how will you be able to see anything when the door is closed?

A single LED?

What is that little window about on the housing?

The sell adapters that convert analog cameras to IP if you can't find a motion light IP camera.

The same day I get mine in the mail, there will be a sample image up.

There won't be one more hole cause the camera would be covering it. My idea of replacing the light with a covert camera was because the light is so low and would get a lot of detail and facial ID but you don't want the bad guy knowing there is a camera there so he can't vandalize it.
