9 out of 10 times it wont work.

RG59 is just video cable. It has no power with it unless you buy Siamese. If you want to go in a different direction with the power (dont know why though?), you could use RG59 and just run 18awg for power, in any direction you like.

thats you boss man, everyone else has to pay regular price. Im sure your company must mark the product up as well? http://www.123securityproducts.com/500009.html

Most fixed lens cameras use Electronic IRIS. Bullet cameras can come with fixed lenses or AI Varifocal lenses. Mini bullets, or finger cameras, normally only come with fixed lenses and EI. Some can be had with even a zoom lens but in most cases due to the size of the lens it is typically marketed as indoors only. The AI Varifocal lenses found on Domes and bullets are in most cases not the same as the type used for box cameras - there are very rare exceptions. Electronic Iris does a better job than in the past, but it can vary considerably from one camera to the next, eg a more expensive camera with EI would typically give a better image under bright sun and shade, than a very cheap one - but it is still not to be compared to that from a decent camera with an Auto Iris lens.

and overpriced IP cameras ... hmmm

Soundy will love this one, quoting a 76 camera job with UTP transmission. Quoting it both ways, whichever is cheapest and less labour intensive, wins. Although 17 are scattered in separate buildings in different locations with their own DVRs and will be coax as only very short runs. And oh yeah, gotta love those 32 channel DVRs for only $991 retail

If you rich rich go with Nitek / NVT If you got some money then go with Muxlab. If you piss poor go with something else

I would have thought the big difference is that is plenum and likely the most expensive cable one could buy.

Active UTP/Baluns with UTP cable, or coax amplifiers with coax, but I never had the need myself. We do what we do to get the job done .. I understand clients doesnt want to spend a fortune running all new conduit so sometimes have to make do. Glad it worked out well

BTW at those kind of distances, its a better idea to just run a big multipair and then branch of from that with coax or cat5. Then you have extra cables left over incase they want to add more cameras later. I would amplify any cable over 750' anyway, and keep all cables away from high voltage.

Should keep coax at least 1 feet from high voltage, so yes interference is a concern. BTW 1500' would be RG6, 1800' with RG11 (depends on the brand of cable). RG59 is less, maybe 750?

1200-1500 feet (color-bw). I this actually realistic or theoretical? I never used RG-59 for such distances. realistic and proven.

Far from it, this was never my thread. I just replied with facts.

Hardly any clients would pay for conduit in a drop ceiling. Outdoors though, certainly.

1200-1500 feet (color-bw).

i think it depends where the camera was/the community/ who wanted it etc. Doesnt matter, your tax payer money paid for it, so they are stealing from YOU.

Guess I dont get it, thought going out in public, was the opposite of being in private?

Seen it before, they need to be waterboarded for trying to steal from the good citizens that work and pay taxes.

You need to use your ISP's SMTP Server. The ISP is the company you use to get on the internet. The port should be 25 by default. Email should then work. I thought we covered this?

Sure why not, what do you have to hide? So when you have a crap do you close the door ? I bet you do & it makes me wonder what you have to hide ? No I crap outside in the bush, why, dont you??

I was told by one manufacturer they are back in office on the 31st.

Depends what DVR it is. Some let you record motion events off-site instead of constant record, or email / ftp images.

Also, what hard drive are you using?

Show us a picture with the lights on.

When members violated the rules I enforced them - gained many enemies because of that, and as you can see they even come back to make up ridiculous tales .. still trying to figure out where the whole racism allegation came from
