    bullet cameras

    number one thats incorrect, its going to be 0.01 lux in BW only. number 2, never go by lux specs as they are never going to be correct. if anything go by the CCD Chip used. number 3, toshiba is okay, but wouldnt be my choice when buying a CCTV camera.

    bullet cameras

    You wont find a color camera at 0.01 lux, 0.1 lux max. Yes thats the Speco (provideo) 637, its not exview anymore, just color, 0.5 lux max maybe.

    remote recording

    Geo Vision's Center2 software does this. I just tested it for a day from a remote location, and using built in motion detection it sent me video and recorded it to my HDD. I thought you already found a DVR for this application though?

    bullet cameras

    Maybe look at the Provideo 637 bullet, its a high res color mini bullet camera. The quality doesnt match a Box camera, and not even some high res domes, but for the size it is impressive.

    8ch card

    8 channel 240fps like the others said. Cards that are Good Quality (and also supported by members who are Dealers/Techs on this forum) and will get you good tech support, once purchased from a legit supplier. These are in no particular order: 1-Geo Vision 2-Video Insight 3-NetPro Max 1 & 2 are the most talked about. I have a client that uses 3 and they are also solid systems. There are a couple others and another 1 in particular that was a very solid stable card and software which I have used, but they are hard to get a hold of, and therefore support cannot be guaranteed. Personally Id use one of the above. Im sure the guys that sell these cards will PM you with more info. Look through all the specs. You cant go wrong either way. Whatever you do, dont buy from Ebay, Amazon, Kmart, or similar. Rory

    So you would typically buy from Miami right? let me know .. im in the Bahamas. I can point you in the right direction. Rory
  7. Acti is better, not sure what the price is on those you mentioned, but ive looked at all and Acti has the better specs, also isnt that expensive.

    bullet cameras

    Where are you located, general location, no street addresses. Where is the camera going to be placed, and have you looked at perhaps using a dome camera instead? A Dome will make it more difficult for people to move the cameras view. Rory

    How to test a camera's true Resolution

    a good eye actually, i'll wait to hear on that also. As for Sony Super HAD its not much different than Sony normal .. so harder to tell, if they claimed Sony Exview then you would know the difference easily, there are ways to check that. I got a bullet from Provideo that claimed Exview, and used to be Exview, but I got a bunch of them that were not, even still said it on the box. Even the ones I got claimed Day Night when clearly Exview Color is not Day Night, though it does switch to a monochrome mode these days, it still stays the same lux and res, and IR cut filter stays on. Anyway, even their tech told me they are not exview anymore, just Super Had which is not low lux like Exview, so I stopped buying Provideo from there on.

    SpeedBump Camera

    Not bad, a good idea, would like to find out the waterproof specs on it though, any data sheets? Cant find it on the link provided. Once it is submergible, can take a real beating, and handle lots of fumes, then it would work good.

    Eyeball socket VANDAL/ARMOR Dome

    Well nope, its not inconspicous as a typical dome is, and doesnt look professional. Their nice toys though, and good for DIYs so they dont have to go inside the camera
  15. It is an online store. They sell various products.
  16. yep, phillips used Kalatel DVRs up until they were bought out by bosch, and why the phillips DVRs also used WaveReader
  17. Exview Color: 480TVL. 0.1 Lux. 1/3â€

    remote recording

    they cut the power, phone, and internet .. short the power from outside so the alarm panel gets fried, so bang goes the idea of a back up radio .. nothing is 100%.

    Price of Gas

    apparently canada has been using propane for years, even with Ford V8's, they are built in Canada though .. why would anyone want to be president .. they have to be mad to start with .. clinton was funny though .. he still runs tings still we arent as bad in price as the Uk yet, they are like $8-10 a gallon .. our gov was supposed to be working out a deal with the venezualan government for cheaper fuel, bypassing the big boys like Esso, Shell and Texaco. Course they promise alot of things ... never see it happen ..

    Time Change

    you should always be -8 .. im always -5 .. ?? Actually its just your time zone, just depends what they have their zone set to, on what time they see. The server's clock should go back automatically so that will make up the hour.
