Yeah was wondering about that, but they do claim this: Support 320x420, 640x480, or 720x480 (enhanced) pixels (NTSC) 16-bit true color or 1920x1200 (Selected 2.3MPixel IP Cameras)

None of them are that small, not the True Day Nights anyway (true day night has an IR Cut Filter).

Just crappy baluns, remember there were at least 2 different brands I used that could barely go over 100'.

Well they are not Pegasus

Wish I had some MP cameras .. not just yet though, except for my regular digital still cam. Looking to get into that arena though and looking for something simple to sell/support, which the Avermedia unit looks like it is.

Thanks, looks like its a new product. I-view had a 32 channel embedded XP DVR about couple years back, but doesn't seem the company went anywhere, or at least the site has not been updated in years. At least with Avermedia you know its not going to disappear anytime soon.

Did you get a chance to test any MegaPixel cameras on it also? Thats the part that has me interested. Thanks Rory

high voltage near the cable? wires not screwed or plugged into the baluns properly?

I dont see the 32 channel on that link.

i use to keep tons of PDFs here,. but deleted them after a while. Had those Muxes PDFs also (have 2 of the actual muxes sitting right here actually). Let me know the model, and I will find you a PDF for it . data sheet or manual?

Panasonic CP-484 day/night is the best in its class and does address the problems that you are having with your current camera... It is probably one of the most expensive, yet does deliver the goods... Not as sensitive though as the Exview GE. Gator needs to decide which is more important, if its the car lights, and it is still too dark, then he will need to get the pano and add IR or extra lighting.

LOL .. thats what google is for

See this information on Faceplate Sensitivity: "Some manufacturers specify camera sensitivity as that on the faceplate or sensor. In these cases use these ratios to convert to the light required on the lens. I.e. 1-lux faceplate sensitivity requires 10 lux at the scene with an f-1.4 lens, or 20 lux with an f-2.0 lens." http://www.cctv-information.co.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi?url=http://www.cctv-information.co.uk/constant/lightrans.html

The KTC540 will be 0.01 lux, and 0.001 lux faceplate sensitivity. Like mentioned many specs use the faceplate sensitivity instead. With GE you can pretty much take them for their word, or specs, at least I have found with the Box cameras I have used from them - never used their 540 though, but have used their other exview color and day night exview ones - I would be confident in saying, it would produce as best as a camera will be able to, without additional lighting (or IR). They also handle up to 1100nm IR. Also note the actual end result will depend on the lens used and its f-stop. Used F:0.95 lens with an Exview Color GE Box camera before and it was remarkable under almost no light - exview takes whatever available light there is in the video and spreads it over the entire video. KTC-540E Specs: 0.001 lux (faceplate), 0.01 lux @ f1.2 (SAGC on, 30 IRE), 0 lux visible light under IR illumination (730 – 1100 NM) So you would want to use at least a F:0.95 F-stop lens to get the best sensitivity. http://www.gesecurity.com/portal/site/GESecurity/menuitem.f76d98ccce4cabed5efa421766030730?selectedID=7686&seriesyn=true&seriesID= (they have changed the camera look since I last checked though, specs seem the same)

a typical Day Night Camera will never see as much in low light as a BW only camera. Check out the Exview BW box camera from GE, KTC-540E. Exview is as low as they get for most normal applications, BUT, if you have tons of money to spend, check out the EM CCD cameras, they start around $5K though - however they still wont see in Pitch dark so in that case, check out the Extreme CCTV products. EM CCD does seem to provide much more low light sensitivity for color cameras, but I have never tested one myself, just saw Samsung Techwin has one on the market. Other than EM CCD, ignore anything that claims less than 0.01 lux (and personally never tested any EM CCD so cant speak for that either). Sometimes the faceplate level will be 0.001 and perhaps some of the OEMs base their specs off that instead. PS. SuperHad and Exview are different (is there such thing as Superhad Exview, no idea), SuperHad is better sensitivity than standard, but Exview is better than both. ALSO, depends on the camera and moreso price, as price dictates which type of SuperHad or Exview CCD they put in the camera, some are better than others, AND the camera itself has to have the features and be setup properly by the manufacturer in many cases, or it wont be able to take full advantage of the CCD it has. Case and point I have a lower res BW Exview bullet here, got a high res Exview bullet from KT&C yet side by side it does not come close to what the other one sees in low light - 2 different brands and different chips.

Yep, the site sucks since the upgrade a few years back. Though they have every other monitor listed, except the 19". Check for documents using this link: http://www.gesecurity.com/portal/site/GESecurity/menuitem.45121a7b14f68165b1e2ff10140041ca/?vgnextoid=343a148067b33010VgnVCM100000410014acRCRD

actually its around $400 retail. But you were talking about ebay which is why I did not mention that. The Nuvico's are also pricey, around $400+ retail. Just a few dollars difference really, but every dollar counts

cool. Now to get a GE Covi Demo

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. Yes just cant post links until a certain amount of posts have been reached, sorry, something we had to implement due to being overwhelmed with advertising spam.

the KT&C True Day Night bullets (similar specs) is slightly cheaper, not by much but maybe take a look out for one of them. KPC-N600NHAC10 (24VAC) KPC-N600NHDC10 (12VDC)

Thats why I buy from certain places only. ..

Keep it separate IMO. Think of it this way, if that single 32 channel system goes down, all 32 cameras are down.

I doubt that is a High End DVR, also, you may want to use 2 16 channels, 32 channels is asking for problems to begin with, plus it will only be real time in very low quality.

That one is a bit pricey for me. $220 on ebay. I think the one i mentioned above for half that would be ideal. Going by the specs they are about the same, except the total pixels differ from 768x to 811x (480TVL SHOULD be 811x anyway but its not in this case).

post it without the . and http etc, then I will edit the post.
