Ok, that all makes sense. If they still want to go ahead with juist the encoder so future cams can be added etc... an you suggest a good one for me or point me in the direction pls.

Ok that answer that then. Thank you for your help yet again )

But can software like Luxriot not then be used? Or is there litterally no point in doing it....

Hi Tom, I agree, it probably is a waste of time and money but the Club wants a price as they already have a 6 camera set up in place.... So it will be going from a DVR to NVR.

Haha, Think you are right. Thanks again for your help mate.

Hi, Have been asked to give a qoute for a local garage. They are inthe dark ages and 'trust' the customer to tell them how much fuel they have put in there cars... IE it is not like the normal pumps where you walk in and they have it in front of them, you go there, fill up and then go inside and say how much you have put in... Basically the company has finally realised that people LIE! and want CCTV covering the pump. They want a camera they can possibly see how much fuel they have used. My question is this... 2 other companies that have qouted for the job have said they have contacted the petroleum board? 1 company said that the Petroleum board said you are not allowed cameras pointing at the pumps.... the other said it was fine. Who is the board? Why might they say no tohaving the camera pointing at the pump?? I am in the UK btw... Any one help at all? Thanks

Thanks Tom, I couldn't see why I couldn't have a camera pointing at the pump. I also thought maybe they were thinking of attaching to the pump but I wouldn't do that. Have you heard of the PB? But thanks for your advice and help.

Hi every one, New to Forum and learning CCTV as well so be gentle!! I have a customer who wants CCTV at his stables and the entrance to the yard is over 100 meters away. As I understnad it, CAT5 cable can not take data any further than 100 meters. First... is that correct? Second... what are my options to get the data to the DVR? I know there is a wireless bridge but am yet to use or install one of these... are they easy? Much set up? Any help would be great . Also, is thre any device that can be installed to boost the signal further than 100 meters meaning the bridge would not be needed? Any advice would be great and if you can add links to any thing you suggest would be really good! Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if a simple question!

CHEERS

One last Q... if I was to be searching for the repeaster.... what uis the best search words... midspan reapter.. cat5 repeater... ? any ideaS?

Thank you very much, that has solved a few things. Thank you so much for your help mate.

Thank you soundy for your advice. So in furture set ups,a simple switch would be good enough if running over 100M For this job a switch might not work... So what you are suggesting would it be--- 75 m 50m camera ----- extender (needs power?) ----- extender --- DVR Also the wioreless bridge i spoke of, are they simpl PnP or do they require setting up? Assume for safety they have to have some form of set up etc.....

Approx 120 Not entirely. It depends on what type of "data" you're sending. 100m is the design limit for ethernet. If you're using IP cameras via an ethernet connection, you'll need to use an extender(s), or some sort of midspan repeater. If you're doing this, and there are multiple cameras, I'd recommend running all the cameras into one switch at their location and having only a single data connection back to the DVR location, to keep costs down, as extender/repeater options can get expensive. HOWEVER... if you're talking about analog cameras, then you're not using ethernet, you're just running a video signal over a twisted pair, and basic cheap passive baluns will easily give you a few hundred meters... more if you use active baluns. Yes would be CAT5 IP cameras, would only be one that distance away. So a midspan reaper would do the trick.... sorry for being dumb... is this a type of booster? Does it take the signal and boost it on?
