run time error is an error they could have done something about, but didnt. But that could take alot of extra time and maybe they were on a dead line .. Too many things can cause run time errors .. do you have enough hard drive space, is the program looking for something in particular that isnt there ..? What program is this ..? Got a link? Rory

IR optimized Lenses .. Hmmm, ive never used them and have great success. These lenses are new to the market, were not around when i started and not with any of that IR i have out there now. Simply by a Camera that has the correct IR Spectral Response for the application. The Sanyo has worked well in the past, without IR lenses, has a great Spectral Response, and ofcourse Extreme CCTV Cameras are optimized for IR. I havent used GE cameras for IR apps yet, though the specs "claim" the same Spectral Response as the Sanyo, and they are lower lux without IR than the Sanyo .. costs a little more though. GE - KTC-2000DN GE - KTC-840CE Exview chips, low low lux, using GE F:0.95 lens. The other guys dont match the 2 above cameras for low light camera specs. If you need a wide dynamic, then that is different, there is not 1 single brand for everything. I wouldnt use GE for Wide Dynamic, if you check the cameras you posted, they are Wide Dynamic, the GE is not. I would use the GE for low light apps though as they are great for that. Personally I dont even look at Bosch, its Ganz, GE, Pano, and Extreme. Sanyo is good for IR or day night apps when you cant afford the other guys ..

Every brand has Wide Dynamic cameras now and 3 year warranty .. I like the Extreme CCTV 5 year warranty

Ive done IR with Extreme IR with simple lenses, nothing special, and worked great, The IR lenses are mostly hype also, once you using decent IR and decent cameras, wont matter as much the lens you use whether it is a regular auto iris, manual iris, or day night/IR lens. GE cameras - ive used all 3, pano, bosch and GE, and i like the GE quality over the bosch (phillips) cameras any day, and the GE also beats any bosch and pano camera actually, for low light, anyday.

Got some strange noises from my new AC, its a Whirlpool .. any AC experts?? need some help thanks Rory

Ignore Ping, try Telnet like this TELNET IP PORT if it clears the screen and prompt at the top, then you are connected. That means that works. That PDF is corupt or something. Make sure the IE security settings, under ActiveX Controls, are set to Prompt, if they are set to disabled, leave any enabled check boxes as is. Dont just enable the disabled ones, or you would have security issues browsing the web, just prompt them. If still no go, PM me the IP so i can test it from my IE if you like. Rory

linksys uses 192.168.1.1 by default ..

dont worry they are coming to check it tomorrow, its a wall unit, just some grinding noise between switching from the fan to the cool, and also alot of noise like water dripping .. anyway its brand new .. so nows the time to switch it . thanks though Rory

No prob, noone has flat screen CCTV monitors, they have LCD's, all brand names have them, they are all going to be pretty much the same quality, and basically the same cost. If you are using GE DVRs, may as well use their CCTV Monitors, they are as high grade as they come. Otherwise a monitor is a monitor, just take note of the specs Any LCD CCTV Monitor will give you a pixelized image though, CRT is the only good quality Monitor for analogue CCTV (non PC based DVRs). Rory

CRT beats out ANY LCD monitor for quality. Even a Cheap 13" CRT TV beats an LCd for quality. As for CCTV monitors, I dont know of the Sony, but GE has some 19" High Res CCTV Monitors, their monitors last and look much more professional than the Sony one in that link. Even CCTV monitors have their specs, what are you looking to use these for? What type of cameras are currently installed? Rory

I use both, fujinon and Computar, and Fujinon is easier to focus. Tamron is budget stuff, but still decent lenses. Also check out the GE KTC-2000DN for a day night "Exview" Camera, lower lux level than both of those, but not Wide Dynamic. GE used to use the Fujinon lenses when they were Kalatel, the GE lenses as far as I can tell are the same thing, as they have the F:0.95 lens also. For a low lux camera the GE from specs has the other 2 beat, but for lighting conditions like backlighting Pano would be the one to go with. Im not a bosch fan so I wont even go there, and never was a Phillips fan when they were those either. The 15 Bit thing means very little, its just a sales pitch from bosch, though they have decent cameras, but nothing amazing. If you are looking for the absolute best camera, it doesnt exist, though a couple to look at would be the Pano 1/2" camera, and yes it is not as well known, but the extremeCCTV 1/2' camera. Did you say you need a day night? Extreme http://www.extremecctv.com/products/index.cfm?img=92 I like the extreme for the all in one approach, plus they have the enhanced IR if you need it. http://www.extremecctv.com/products/index.cfm?img=66 http://www.extremecctv.com/products/uploads/PDF2/EX27D-MX4_TS_050802.pdf Pano 1/2" Pano You also mentioned GE, just buy a GE CCTV Monitor if you can, they are very good, and they look professional. Ive been using them for years, they last well. Rory

The problem you will find, is that Kodicom doesnt generally sell cards, so most cards are going to be pirated. They normally, from talking to a Kodicom rep in the US, only sell cards to certain reps, and they then only sell them to particular clients. However as you said you bought it from a glass store, then it may very well be legit, and would be best to contact a current Kodicom rep. If you need a name of a rep PM me. rory

there are a few Kodicom reps here, what card do you have, or system? Rory

Is this the GE Triplex SDVR?? If not please provide brand name. thanks Rory

but ofcourse actually ive only done this a few times when i need to connect to something out in the field, from my laptop, where it didnt have a router, some of the GE StoreSafes we have out there are connected directly to the internet. $100 for a linksys router here, if they have them in stock Rory

The IPs can be different, just an example: DVR: IP 192.168.1.200 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 port 80 PC: TCP/IP Properties: IP address 192.168.1.201 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 To test it out, Command Prompt: Telnet 192.168.1.200 80 (thats a space inbetween "Telnet" IP and port) If it connects, it will clear the screen and should be a blank screen Then just X out of Command Prompt. Then using the browser or client software, if the client softare uses port 80, or the DVR has browser based software and it is enabled, then you should be able to connect and stream video. Also really depends on the DVR. Once you get the IP info in the DVR and if you are still having issues, PM me a VNC connection login and I'll check it out for you. Rory

Are the right drivers loaded for the card? What error are you getting? Rory

Thats cool man, let us know how it pans out, I didnt actually get much chance to play with the one here, maybe one day

Ive always like the Fujinon F:095 lens, though the ones you listed are even lower f stops .. very nice. Like he said, again .. coax being the choice unless there is a reason you would benefit from using twisted pair, such as existing UTP between a couple buildings and cannot trench, but still loss of quality, unless you spend the $$ on some high grade amp gear like NVT, Nitek, etc. Wouldnt use Baluns unless you have no choice, they arent all that secure. The other gear comes in hubs and units that can be secured. Rory

AV!! where you been good ta see yah ..

Yeah ive seen that before, we replaced one actually for a GE unit, I will ask the guy if he has any software for it, though we may be in the same boat .. ill get back to you on that. May at least be able to get the software from the original owner, will see. Rory

yeah he has some other program using port 80 as you can telnet to it .. anyway ..

All Saphire Radeon cards .. 9200s i think ..

quick question, did the program i posted give an error or say successful on both buttons clicked, and did you check the check box that says "fresh" before clicking those buttons? Rory

I never install NET and I get all the ATI functions ..??
