Yes, outside but reason is camera does not have Auto DC Iris on it. Thanks guys, FUJINON it will be then. Den

Have been looking at both the Tamron and Fujinon lenses here for a MegaPixel camera. Specifically want: Manual IRIS, Focus, Zoom Varifocal 2.8-8mm CS Mount Aspherical MegaPixel and IR The Fujinon can be bought for around $65 or so, where the Tamron is around $100. Does anyone have experience with these two Mfg's. MegaPixel lenses, and can tell me which way to go here and why? Or is there another Mfg. that fits this bill and is $100 or less? Appreciate the help in selecting a new lens. Thanks, Den

Very nice, what is the distance from cam to statue?

I thought you were testing the Dahua 3MP Box cam with a Fujinon lens on it? Or am I confused again, after my recent heart attack? Den

You will be in "Chromatic Aberration" BIG trouble with that design -- Buellwinkle " title="Applause" /> Isn't that where the Chinese camera Mfg's. started?

I would take a look at some of the bullet IP66 rated cams like the Dahua 1.3MP -- they have that camera running in Blue Iris software also. What software do you plan on using, and I would HIGHLY suggest you wire for CAT6 and either go w/ PoE or wire for AC or DC power also, besides the CAT6 runs to each and every camera for reliability and higher frame rates. Also, take a look at the Grandstream GXV-3651_FHD (5MP) comes w/ lens for around $300 or so. http://www.grandstream.com/index.php/products/ip-video-surveillance/gxv3651 Den

Soundy, Would sure like to see some DAY/NIGHT stills using that 3MP Dahua (Dahua) camera. Do you have any stills available there that you could post? If you do, please tell us the Mfg/type of lens that you put on it, ok. Thanks Matt, Den

Tried the 2MP dome... it's not that great with the low light. But then, that's a $200 camera vs. $1000+ cameras Half that, half gas stations... I'd rather they gave me free gas, it's worth more Hi Matt, I thought your were experimenting with the Dahua 3MP cam there at $399 + lens? Any pics using that camera? Thanks, Den

Syscom -- not working in Firefox here, it just disconnects. Den

Am just wondering why Grandstream is not a serious contender in the IP Camera business up against Arecont Vision, AXIS, Vivotek, ACTi, etc. who seem to have a large segment of the industry? Does anyone know why this is? -- Den --

MaxIcon, can you POST some day/night stills off that Arecont Vision 5MP camera. Thanks, Den I should be able to in a few days. It's not connected right now, but I can pop a lens on it and get some shots. Max, pop a lens on that puppy, and crank up the fps and data xfer rate to max w/ 5MP and see what it can do, then POST a couple pics. Cheers, Den

Ken, shows the Grandstream GXV36XX RTSP being supported in B.I. Using H.264 compression, hoping to get 15fps at 1920x1080 (HD 1080p), but specs show 30fps at this max. video resolution. Specs state it has a High Performance Streaming server to allow for up to 3 Simultaneous 1080p viewers. I guess we will see if we end up trying one out. My CPU util. is at around 35% right now w/ the i7 Intel CPU w/ 7 cams running, so I should have enough headroom. Den

One site had this camera being the Grandstream GXV3651_FHD for $283, good price for a 5MP. Your right that full HD res. 16:9 would be 2MP (1920h x 1080v = 1080p), but the pixels would be there for one when one wants to digitally zoom in, right? BI is showing support for it also.

This thread is for images and demos, you should probably start a new thread up if you are asking for advice. OK, thanks will do. So, if someone has some Images from this camera please post them. Den
