Hey folks, found this while looking about for yet another .264 file player! I work in Law enforcement and constantly get disks with this stuff and no player. At any rate, the Swann seems identical to the Lorex 10 and would not play the disk of .264s I just received. The good news is the the Lorex 11 player did the job perfectly. Here is the link http://www.lorextechnology.com/security-dvr-and-surveillance-dvr/16-Channel-security-DVR-with-iphone-and-andirod-support/prod180002.p Hope it helps someone out! Good luck, Billy

Thanks all! The short end is terminating into a consumer DVD recorder, the long end is terminating int a 29" Sharp? CCTV monitor. This is for an interview room at a local PD. It is out of sight of the main area so they want to be able to view the interview from the dispatchers desk while recording it. Thanks again.

I have need of connecting one camera (Vitek VH49B2) to two monitors. one wll be about 25ft away and the other about 150ft. Should I anticipate any problems driving these and purchase a distribution amp? How should I split the feed? Thanks, Bill

I have had similar troubles... Sometimes though it was the ISP connection. I had to deal with about 500 connections all over the country and there were definitely some bad areas. Just a suggestion but try pinging an outside connection, like the place you are trying to get out to using this: ping /l 1047 /n 100 IPADDRESS where IPADDRESS is the site you want to get to. the l (that's L) switch is packet length as the default length for ping is too small and the n switch is how many times to repeat it. What you want to see is how many dropped packets. This would raise hell with the credit card service connections as the places I was dealing with were McDonald's, Wendy's etc. Alythough I do have to admit I did replace a few LinkSys routers! Good luck, Bill

I am planning on using this in an interview room situation. The specs look good. I need it to be able to get a good image to a DVD recorder and a monitor. One install has to got to a DVD recorder and monitor about 25' away and another monitor 150' away. Do you think I may need an amp to push the signal that far? Audio will be supplied by a Crown PZM-11 mic in the ceiling. Thanks for your input.

GHOST may suck but it does the job and I mentioned GHOST 'cause you can pick up a copy for next to nothing. I am building 85 new PCs this week and next; using a bootable USB hard disk makes it quick and easy! The hardest part is taking them out of the box!! Anyway does not matter what image program you use, just use one. I really do think it is worth the extra effort. Redundancy is also good. A second drive in a duplex arrangement might not be a bad idea for critical systems.

Perhaps I am a lucky one. I grow a fair amount of veggies each year, buy my beef by the cow from a local farmer, grass fed beef humanely grown and treated is a real treat. Eggs I get from a local organic egg farm with free roaming chickens fed organic diets. Chicken we buy from another local farm. Even our water is reverse osmosis/ deionized filtered with a tap at the kitchen sink. I do watch what my family eats, it costs a bit more, but it tastes great and we feel good to. It has taken quite a few years and considerable effort to get this far but it was worth it.

What projector for instance? What is the output of the DVR, my experience is more PC than CCTV but there are many projectors; a lot do VGA, XGA, etc Then some include composite, S-Video and component. I am looking at a InFocus on my desk that does everything I listed. Does that help? If I had a DVR I'd try t but I don't have one at the moment.

Don't know if this helps... Have you looked into PIC? If you Google it there are many automation resources involving PIC compatable controllers, etc.

Details??

What model # router and what version of IOS??

Here is a suggestion. I use it all the time, it is cheap and very easy to do. Find an older version of GHOST. You can get the older versions for about $5-10.00. After you build a customers or your machine just as you like it make a bootable ghost image, then if anything fails like the hard drive or an upgrade goes sour, just boot with the image disk and reload and you are right where you were when you made the image. Very handy especially when you have a lot of identical or nearly identical machines. I have about 200 or so PCs to maintain and would not be caught without it.
