fran : i know and thanks for reply, but i need confirmed information and since there are some big boy$, someone can mybe share that data with rest of us

buellwinkle : no shipping and transaction fee .... or any other except bare manufacturer price

Thanks for reply ! I know all of that. I just need a rough number, so i know what shul i pay to oure local CCTV firm that have long and good connection with Chinese. Is possibile to get 2 MP bellow 100 $ if you buy 20 psc per month ?

you will need Hybrid DVR if you wish to use analog and digital (megapixel) cameras in same time

glad to help

analogue only, digital signal comes via network cable via tcip protocl

Thanks for review.

Thanks ! Good find .

for storing (recording) ip cameras you will not neeed any capture card, since video is already "captured" and you will only save inconming stream via network to hard disk. But you will need CCTV software.

sure, any analog video input (yellow) can be recorded http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Movie_Maker http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd373406(v=vs.85).aspx

no one can help with quick rough estimate ?

and regard battery : keep in mind that very good deep cycle lead acit batterys are constructed for max 80 % DOD / depth of discharge/ and for cca 300 cycles, What this mean in simple words : if you will discharge youre battery on daily basis to 80 % , youre battery will have cca 1 year field life. ( discharge to 80 % : it still remains 20 % energy in battery - you cant suck 100 % od stored energy or you will kill battery in 10 cycles) Best option for solar battery is sealed lead acid deep cycle with gelled electrolyte with vrla ( not vented or sealed agm) if you look for no maintnance solution. ............. one of good producers is Sonnenschein http://www.ebax.si/privat-kamere/akumulator/moto-akumulator-gel-solar-baterije.pdf If you go for GEL be carefull with charger and charging control : look for charger that has charging program for GEL ( current, voltage and cutt off frequency are different that regular vented deep cycle battery or sealed AGM deep cycle battery) Wrong charger or wrong charging time will create bubless in gelled elektrolyte, and then battery will soon fail to give rated characteristic.

Good choice is Seagate SV35 http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/consumer-electronics/sv35/ Seagate® SV35 Series™ hard drives offer .....of today’s 24×7 video surveillance systems.... 1TB-per-disk technology provides cost-effective 1TB, 2TB and 3TB capacities.

Best advice : read a good reference book on CCTV and digital formats . One of biggest names in this field is mr. Damjanovski http://www.amazon.com/CCTV-Newnes-Vlado-Damjanovski/dp/0750671963 regard edited video : in my country is even transfer from disk to usb ( backap) treated as tampered (edited) video, if operator does not have state issued licence. There was some big court fail because of that. So best practice in the case of possibile court trials is to remove hard disk from dvr at moment of recorded incident . Good choice is to buy a DVR with drive bays for easy exchange of dvr so anyone can replace hard disk in case of emegrency.

also try lower graphic accleration (temporarly) if there are some problems with graphical overlay : Follow these steps: Right click on the desktop and select select Screen Resolution On the window that opens up, click on the Advanced Settings link Select the Troubleshoot tab, then click Change Settings Move the Hardware acceleration slider towards none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration. d.
