  1. I have a few questions. What drives are in the qnap box. What is the model number? I would like to look at the specs. The ISCSI transport should be a problem. I'm just wondering what that box can handle for read and write.

    Is it the camera or DVR

    AVIGILON 5MP HD D/N IP DOME CAMERA Mfg. Part: 5.OMP-HD-DOME-DN $903.99 ea. CONFIGURABLE 2U NVR with Exacq VMS $1,866.00 ea. Cameras would be $3615.96 Plus server is $5481.96 Not sure about lenses & licensing. So we're left with $2518.04 from our original $8k quote. Two guys, two days installation, programming, client training @ $95/hr. = $1520.00 So now we're at $998.04 "profit". Still have to mark-up equipment, purchase supplies/cable, lock-box, power supply, pay sales tax, permit fees, warranty, etc. etc. Here's your cruise... You skipped the part of the conversation where it was stated there is no labor. It's 4 cameras, Worst case scenario you buy a 1500.00 Dell Workstation from the Dell Outlet Store. I bought one a month ago with 6TB of storage and an I5 processor for 1500.00 And you can't mark up cameras you paid MSRP for.

    Test Pictures: Gadspot 600TVL vs 700TVL

    Hmm u probably did not pay attention what I sad before customer installed himself, pick and choose field of view, location, etc... I only supplied product and setup I ask the same ? why do u have to see wall He explained to me He had reason believe me or not Oh I knew it wasn't you. If he didn't want to see any further to the right either tighten up the zoom or rotate 90 degrees and rotate in software. Like I did this one.

    IR LED's vs. eye damage?

    Don't joke like that. One night of exposure to adults is one thing. Children who are developing are different then adults agree? Anyway without a long term study its difficult to say with a high degree of certainty how safe or unsafe long-term exposure of ir leds are to the eyes of children. Microwaves and smoking were once thought perfectly safe... Now we know better... I wasn't joking. They both had IR cameras in their rooms from the day they were born and they are fine. It's freakin light. No if you stare into a 850nm Fiber optic Multimode Gbic you would probably have a problem.

    So enlighten us...what is your definition of "really nice IP megapixel cameras"? You could get 4 Avigilon 5mp domes, lenses, Licenses, Server, and have money left for a cruse.

    Just for fun One of the customer do it yourself projects Avigilon 2 MP Fun, but in an analog comparison you're comparing apples to oranges. I think everyone understands the difference between fruits. Are sales so bad for MP cams you must jump into analog threads at every chance to show their superiority? I don't understand the need to bash analog over the head with MP at every chance. Why do you do that? Nice! Eat up 1/3 the available resolution looking at wall!
  11. What's the frame rate? At 16mbps it must be wide open!

    Well I guess both my grandsons will end up blind. Both spent the first 2 years of their life with an IR camera in their bedroom. Ever had a sleep study done?

    Possible voltage drop / CCTV over cat 6 - VLOSS

    I have seen 12.4 volts be 9.6 at the end of a 400' cat5e. I would pull an 18/2 minimum.

    Casino Cameras

    No they just do it the RIGHT way. The way it should be done anywhere. Solid copper should be terminated to a permanent fixed location.

    You terminate the cat5 to a patch panel, convert to BNC and run jumpers to the DVR.
  18. Oh and elevate the camera to ceiling hieght.
  19. I have had very good results with the Samsung SCC-B5369. In a shot very similar to yours the door faced East and was horrible first thing in the morning. When I installed this camera not only could I see the customers walking through the door I could see out in the parking lot too! I didn't even touch the menu.

    Lenel access

    Who here does Lenel? We are doing training this week and I'm not impressed with the hardware. We have been a GE/Facility Commander/Picture Perfect/ Secure Perfect shop for a long time. One of our customers hit the group limit in Picture and is going to Migrate to Lenel. "Supposedly" They are working on making Lenel talk to Micro 2000/3000/Direct Door boxes. Lenel will not talk to a supervised FC reader but if they can talk to the micro the micro can handle that.

    It's going to happen.

    ONSSI Win 7?

    Been released for a while now man. They got a home server 2011 that was released in March 2011 and they have a small business server 2011 as well. I will say it again. The current version of Windows Server for Enterprise and basic is 2008. What does Home server and Small business have to do with that statement?

    ONSSI Win 7?

    FYI the current version for Microsoft Server is 2008. Historically Server doesnt change that often. It was NT, 2000, 2003, now 2008.
