sweet... Herm sent me 2 PCs I havent checked to see the cases make yet, but they looked great. They are at the contractors location so I dont have them here and the electrician is still running the wire (sleep) Id like it if the cards could fit in something like this though http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15730 http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15100 Dont know if they are big enough though ... Rory

i mean yeah they tagged that, cant do that down here .. too many poor people, heck we dont have any car washes!

anyone have a contact for Budweiser, I could not find one on their site. Almost all stores here are selling august-november 2004 bud beer! Stale, staleundrinkable beer, only could find january 25th, 2005 beer at one store!!! If it keeps up I gotta switch beers. by the way, I can only get beer up until 9pm...in the Bahamas..

nah, theyre still teifing .. and theyre still getting fired

I have the price list here for both of them, and its the same from any distributor. Try it with the same specs for the GE that is used with the DM, an 80GB HDD .. I cant list prices here, but GE is around $500-1000 cheaper from the 4 channel to the 10 channel and you get a 10 channel for less than the DMs 6 channel equivelant. Also, of you are pricing it with the DVMRe-CT or the PRO then it will be alot, but the equivelant of the DM4 would be the StoreSafe Pro. Though the CT isnt much more than the StoreSafe pro, I think you need at least the DVMReCT to do the raid though. I dont know what RAID costs so I cant go there ..

in a night club down here, they fired some 50 employees in the first 2 years, for skimming or stealing.

i dont think its sony .. MEanwhile, I just received a PDF from eclipse where they have a 480TVL, 0.03 Lux Day Night (probably Super Had as it doesnt say Exview) 3.6mm 1/4" Lens .. if you are interested let me know by email. Rory

Did they snag your garbage too? no, they left that, in fact it was empty as it was a new can the landlord just bought a few weeks ago, and i never used it

and that weakest link could be that the cameras are turned off in recording ..Arghhh, after testing and hooking up some new cameras here at my apt, I forgot to turn the record back on for those new ones, and someone tiefed my garbage can, sometime this morning after 7am .. its in the camera view that wasnt turned on to record!!! And to add to the pain, i hadnt armed my yard beams last night! Guess I was getting too confortable since its been a couple months since the last attempted break in ..

Well like they said, PC is when you want features, and you have to understand the possible maintenance and set up that will come with it. Stand Alone is when you want plug, play, and forget. There are many stand alones, and the more you pay for one, normally the more featurers you will get in it. Though this has been going up and down lately with certain new stand alones breaking into the market. PC Card Systems can be just as cheap as your cheapest stand alone with LAN. But you get just a less features with some of them. Rory

If they could only figure out how to make it look better Actually, I rarely use IR Bullets (or at least we normally disable the IR feature unless its absolutely neccassary) and never use the IR Domes anymore, I just use the Extreme CCTV IR LEDs/Bulbs if they want IR, otherwise, some flood lights or motion lighting ... Anyway, they even admitted to me that it causes issues and alot of their customers tend to disable the IR.... I tought I was the only one

does it have some rubber seal for waterproofing? Looks interesting ...

One thing when considering them, is to mount them low down, cause they need very frequent cleaning or you will see the spots as it gets dirty, wet, etc. Ive got one right here, well not that one but its an IR Bullet. The domes for sure were terrible with the IR built in though. What I would do is disconnect the IR (or just make sure to clean them frequently), at least you have a great bullet with a mechanical IRcut filter (7706DNV). I asked provideo about ones with no IR with a mechanical IR cut Filter, they said just disable the IR and use the 7706... Hmmmm

you need some razor wire like we use down here .. if this was my house id have it all over the place ..

anyone used this version of linux? They are preinstalled on the cheap Wintergreen PCs from tigerDirect. http://www.linspire.com/

No matter what camera you have, if it is very low lighting (too low for the particular camera you are using) you will experience some snow, even with black and white cameras. It just depends on how much light is available for the camera to work with, and alot on the camera chip itself. Exview Color mode will outperform a SuperHad Color mode, while a normal BW camera can outperform an Exview Color camera, but still depends on the available light as cameras use the amount of light in the image to spread it over the whole image and thats why you can get a snowy image - if it didnt use available light, it would be pitch dark in alot of instances. Ofcourse there are a few different versions of the Exview and SuperHad Chips which also make a difference. Now im mostly talking about Bullet Cameras here. If you really want to stand a better chance of a decent night image, you will need to look at either an exview camera, BW, or if there is some kind of light and you must have color, an exview color. Provideo has the CVC-637EX. If it is very very dark it will ofcourse get snowy, but it will perform alot better than a normal SuperHad. It is a high res (470TVL) 1/3" lens, so it is wide angle, and its Exview 0.03 lux or so, switches to BW in very low lighting to help the image quality and sensetivity. It has an IR Cut Filter built in that stays on, so it will not pick up any Infrared Light, day or night. If you really want a Day Night with IR, look at the Provideo CVC-7706DNV, as it has a mechanical IR Cut Filter, or even just checked out the KT&C Day Night Bullet which also has a mechanical IR Cut Filter, though less IR (not sure how good it is never seen it in action nor dont know the companies products) but I have seen the 7706 from Provideo and have used a few of their products. If your pocket is kind of empty like mine, then your pretty much stuck with either a regular BW Bullet for low light, or a regular color like the eclipse bullet (but you need light). Otherwise you will experience what you are getting now, the washed out colors in the day and some snow at night in low lighting, from most day nighters with no IR cut filter and using SuperHad (and some using Exview). Just so you know, alot of these bullet cameras are either made by the same manufacturer, or at least use the same specs.

yep, GE (Kalatel) has been using it from day 1. Except their DIGI-4 is now a linux DVR (i think), network software is not that great though, plus it only comes in a 4 channel.

what about Nucleus?

Cool? can you switch it to english .. What kind of internet connection do you have? Its fast ..

Ill send you a PM when im done running some wire .. Rory

on the subject of the washy day time colors, check this is the very cheap color bullet from eclipseCCTV, it doesnt see much in low lighting, but its great in the day and at night where there is light: I cant post pricing here but its the rock bottom of color bullets. Id like to get my hands on a couple other OEM models from other companies to also test out, cause this cant be the only cheap camera that performs this well.

yeah they dont sell them like that anymore, that was the 3.6mm lens .. maybe they were clearing stock .. not sure when they started the 3 lens pack, it may be very recent. When did you buy the camera?

Thats why I just let it find the drivers ... 2 of the worse Ive seen like this is the all in one Lexmark printer, and a logitech webcam .. the amount of software those suckers put on the clients PC .. darn .. and it was an old slow PC to start with.. Get friendly with MSCONFIG and the startup and services tabs ..

I think I missed this one, nothing personal Sammie These are from the Extreme Sales Manager who I deal with, he is also in charge of WizKid sales. WZ30B1L4 B/W 1/3" 420 TVL. Lens pack 2.9, 3.6 and 6 mm. WZ30K1L4 Color 1/4" 380 TVL. Lens pack 2.9, 3.6 and 6 mm. If you want a different lens though you can special order that. Make sure you are getting the new model from whereever you are buying it from, the older models only came with 1 lens, 2.5-12mm and you had to specify which one.

The Light green is because the camera has no IR cut Filter. Yeah I noticed that snow now come to think of it with this SuperHad dome i have here, but it was when I pointed it up at the sun going down, as I was testing it, then moved it down and it went away, thought you were lookin in pitch dark though thats why didnt come to me .. Yes that siamese cable is the right one. Its up to you, you dont have to worry about warranty on wire so i say go for it Rory
