Hi, sorry old post I know but im desperately trying to get the usb-rs lead that comes with this camera, does any one have one?

Hi all, Not sure if in the right section so forgive me if not. Im looking after a new site and they have the Bosch Metal mickey camera's installed. One was sent off for refurb and has come back all set to default which I need to change. Now as i understand it i have to log on remotely and to do this i need a 'Bosch, USB to RS485 Signal Converter to Allow MIC Series Cameras to Connect to a PC, Supplied with Each Camera [MICUSB485CVTR2]' Now they do not have any and to buy they are around £90. What are the chance of any one on here having some surplus to sell cheap or can point me in the direction of a supplier? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I use Luxriot, what would you like to know?

Come back please!

Thank you, exactly what I was after.

Can any one just give me bullet points of the main differences? Simple things to explain to customers like.... Ip NVRs are easier to get the video clips from as you don't have to convert to a AVI file that you have to do on a DVR system.... Does that make sense? Cheers.

Yeah what you have said has confirmed every thing i was thinking. Ok thank you mate, youve been a real help.

Cheers for help so far ) ok, pic 3, the one looking direct at the Garage, the sun rises from the left and sets in the right. The sun does not go directly onto the camera or the pumps, the problem is with it reflecting off a car when it stops to fill up. So with the LCD going black is there nothing we can do about that as well then? Also one other side note, not seen my self, but the customer has said when it rains again you cannot read the LCD, would this just be the rain actually getting in the way of the camera?

The pics are showing for me? Odd.. here is a direct link http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k580/foxguard/Tunstall%20garage/IMG_0908.jpg http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k580/foxguard/Tunstall%20garage/IMG_0907.jpg http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k580/foxguard/Tunstall%20garage/IMG_0909.jpg http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k580/foxguard/Tunstall%20garage/IMG_0910.jpg These are the extenders that we use... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VGA-Audio-Cat5-Extender-/180740661320?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item2a14fba048#ht_500wt_1156

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. I was at the garage this morning and saw the camera doing what they had been complaining about. What it appears to be is the reflection coming from a car when parked at the pump. The sun rises behind the building and goes from one side to the other side always behind the camera, so I do not know how I can resolve this? it appears no matter where i put the camera the sun will always be behind it and will at points in the day, reflect of cars. Would putting in a different camera help? One that is not a dome? Here are some pictures of the garage etc to see if this helps you get a better picture of my problems. This is a screen shot of the monitor, you can see the top left portion is white, due to the people carrier parked the other side of the pump. This is where teh camera is currently positioned. Here you can see where the sun is and through the day it will go from left to right of that pic Also I am still having a couple of problems with the LCD display going black for no reason, for this I have some video footage taken 30 mins apart. This is at 0730hrs and this is how it should look, when zoomed in you can read the LCD just fine and from this video you can see how you could see it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ufuqnUuX0 This was taken at 0700hrs and as you can see the lcd is black? This naturally means the zoomed in image you can not read the figures on the display.... why would this happen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QihRGqHgiGc One last thing.... the dvr is in the office but behind the till i have used a vga over cat5 extender so they can have a 2nd monitor. The video quality is drastically reduced and I assume that ise due tothe extender. What do you mostly use for this purpose? Ok, thank you every one so far.

I will try and get a screen shot for you, but the rest of the image seems to go bright and the LCD bit goes dark.

Please forgive me as I am not sure what info you will need so will ask the question and see where it goes. I had to install a camera looking at a petrol pump at a local garage as when the customer filled up they woulD have to tell the staff the amount.... people soon realised they could lie! So I have a Sanyo dome installed on the wall about 4mtrs away from the pump. Using Luxriot the image is zoomed in so can read how much fuel they have put in. The customer keeps stating that a few times during the day for periods of any thing upto 30 mins, the LCD display on the pumps goes black. I have asked what the weather is doing at the time as first thought it muct be due to it being bright outside or dark outside and the whole image adjusting but he states it dos not matter what the weather is like outside and just does this at different times of the day. Is there a setting that i am missing? Could it be a faulty camera? If there is info you need but I have not provided, please dont flame me, just let me know and I will find out. Im still really learning with cameras so I will say sorry now as I am sure I will be asking lots more.

Thanks tom. At the nvr end it is a poe switch that the cat5 comes out of... so already has power. it is then split to give the power and cat5.. i assume.. so what do i need to make the cat5 poe again.. either of these work .. http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/?categoryid=234

befor you go spending money the first thing would have been to test the old camera and power supply. what make was the old camera ? and will the software take a sanyo. The old camera was a 'peak' We have installed Luxriot software which works well with the sanyo

No not 100% sure as is all hidden behind the wall and they wont let us take the wall down etc... Kinda flying blind!
