im going to the club this evening will deal with those Sanyo Day Night Domes also, actually going to add some HDDs to the Kalatel DSR2000, but also going to set up the 2 dome cameras. Now time to sleep as i have a long night ahead

Its a Remote Viewer, basically designed as a desktop application for remote live and playback. The newer software I did for the GeoVision is just a live viewer due to the ActiveX limitations, but much better overall. Here is the original WaveVue .. and yep its free. Works with any Kalatel or GE Security DSR, DVMRe, or StoreSafe (not StoreSafe 2) http://www.bahamassecurity.com/uploads/MSWVUE.ZIP

Which camera, the BW high res or the color high res? Rory

WizKid is Extreme CCTV, they manufacture the camera. Retail is much cheaper than that $450 tag.

1.5 miles with the ActiveUTP Hubs, and you can repeat them to go as far as you need. Shielding is stil la problem with coax, all wire needs to be kept at least 1 foot from high voltage. Im not a fan of phillips... oops I mean bosch

They arent baluns, they are 100 times better than a balun, and the Active Hubs will produce much higher quality video than if using coax without an amp. They are used alot with products like GE Cyber Domes, on long distances for example. The hubs are nice cause you can just rack mount them with the DVR or Mux. Rory

I dont know Kodicom, but normally with other DVRs you just set a seperate internal IP for each DVR, change the port in the DVRs so that they are different, then port forward to each DVR in the routers applications and servers section.

guys its from march, im sure he got it fixed by now .. or id hope so

this is the one i use, and it hasnt given an issue yet http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1184292&CatId=28

Ok then sure, you should be able to cover it. When i say dealer, i mean are you a business, or end user? If business, then you can usually get dealer prices. Distributors would just need some verification such as a business licence. Ok, box cams would be the best image. You mentioned day night, so you are looking at something like the following: All "True" Day Night Cameras. Sanyo: VCC-WD8574 - Wide Dynamic VCC-4594 Ganz: ZC-NH403N Panasonic: WV-CP484 - Wide Dynamic WV-CP474H WV-CL920A - 1/2" - Wide Dynamic GE Security: KTC-2000DN Extreme CCTV: FMX600 - Extended IR Range FMX800 - 1/2" Extended IR Range Other True Day Nights I didnt have a chance to look up, come from Bosch, Toshiba, and Samsung Techwin. The Panasonic is a good buy if you will have back lighting issues since its Wide Dynamic. The Sanyo version no feedback on that one but Ive used their regular day night for IR apps in the past and they work well, and is the least expensive day night, right before the Ganz Day Night. The Toshiba is in the same price range i think. GE, Pano, are higher up the price range, great cameras, and the Extreme is even more, but great for day night apps with IR. If i left any out, im sorry -------------------- For your weather environments, I would normally suggest something like the Extreme CCTV EX14MX or EX27MX, but the cost is going to be way over that budget. So just make sure you get a decent housing, name brands, no OEM $20 housings, otherwise the cameras may not last long. Also, though the budget doest afford it, thought of a PTZ at all? GE Cyber Domes are good, also Pelco, and Bosch, Bosch has an auto tracking feature. Then there is another route, not sure on the pricing, but IPIX has 360 degree IP camera systems. Never used it so cant vouch for it, but it comes highly recommended for certain applications: http://www.ipix.com/technology.html Hope this helps some ..Provideo is a mid range line of products, alot of them are decent bullet cameras, though alot of them are also simply cheap cameras. They dont make anything, they buy OEM and relable it. I wouldnt expecty too much from their bullet cameras for Day Night, the BW's work well, the more expensive versions. But then you can buy a WizKid Bullet for the same price and in High Resolution (600TVL). if its going to be pitch dark, or very low light, then you may want to look at seperate Infrared to add to the system, or they can add that later if they need it, just be ready for it is all. Extreme CCTV has the best gear for that, if you need info let me know. Also, im sure someone on this forum can get what you need, just find out what you are interested in and post a question for dealers or distributors if you are a business, to PM you to get a quote. Rory

well would be nice to see comparisons for real. I actually posted alot of them over the past couple years, but i took most down due to bandwidth on my server ...

A decent DVR will end up costing around $1200 retail. Looks like you have a challenge Basically to keep to that budget, you will need to use budget products, OEMs. Not sure if you are buying wholesale or retail? 2 Brand name products you can look ar are Ganz and Sanyo, for Wide Dynamic or Day Night box cameras, if buying dealer cost, you could get to that budget per system. The DVR will be the big issue, if you need a decent mobile DVR, they arent cheap. Rory

what was this?

say Casino ...

It may not be, but its the best cable ive seen and used, high quality and best for retail due to it being white.

chinese cameras ... Hmmmmmmmm.

Active UTP will give you next to no Losss of video, you will loose video quality with Passive whether it is UTP or Coax. You can also use an Amplifier for Coax as well, but that only goes around 1200ft average. If you use a cheap Active UTP model, eg, OEM, then youcant expect it to be that great, check Nitek or NVT.

Its a mini camera, dont expect much from it.

Hi Ross, and welcome.. First question is what is "bewator" and "vista"? Also when you say interface, are you building a DVR or Multiplexer? Or just looking to write the GUI software for it? Rory

But there is no money in that target industry you mentioned, unless your name is Sams Club or Kmart. We are professionals in the CCTV Industry so you can't expect us to deal with cheap stuff like that, we need to make a living

It is a very Cheap OEM Color with IR camera that is mass manufactured in Asia and labled under many names, this one being Swann.

What cameras are they, and have you tested the cameras on a CCTV Monitor, or at least a TV, to make sure they are working and focused properly? Rory

What type of factory is it? Ive run RG59 in a factory here without issues, but not that distance, though we kept it a few feet away from the high voltage and it came out good.

450 meter = 1,476.3779528 feet You can get away with RG59 actually, but loss of video quality could require an amp. Also you could use Active UTP, like the NVT gear, does 1.5 miles with little to no video loss ONLY if using Active UTP. Fiber is always the best, once you got alot of cash to burn. Rory

Yes, its useless for multi camera surveillance. Only 2 I can recommend that are any good is LuxRiot and Milestone. The other hundred or so are really horrible. Maybe someone will come out with a good free one soon hey
