    im testing one of these now, not bad, for the price, all cameras connect to this little box, which uses a USB cable to connect to the PC USB, then you use local or remote software to watch it. The local server has to be turned on to wait for call, like PC anywhere.

     

    Anyone want to test out the remote part let me know.

     

    Their web site is www.vdomain.com its the Video Jet USB. Download Observer software for remote viewing and Ill give you an IP.

    This client didnt want to use a computer at all, so we just went with a Video Digital Recorder, and a Mux. Day Night fixed domes all around the outside of the homes. LCDS Monitor for main display, displays will also be on his TVs throughout the house. Home is under construction so some details not yet worked out, home is a multi million dollar home on the ocean.

     

    SYSTEM:

     

    GE Interlogix Video Digital Recorder 160GB

    GE Interlogix 9 Channel Color Multiplexer

    GE Interlogix 15" Color CCTV LCD Monitor, 500TVL

    8 channel Power Supply Fused 24VAC

    Video Distribution Center (out to Plasma/LCD/Projection TVs)

    RF Modulator (watch on cable TV channel 3 or 4)

    Cable TV Filter

     

    CAMERAS:

     

    9 GE Interlogix Rugged Mini Dome Day Night, 480TVL, 4-8mm

    9 GE Interlogix Rugged Mini Dome Wall Mounts

    What do y'all think ?

     

    Got a client with 2 stores about 200 feet apart. Running mutli pair in one small conduit from store to store for the alarm expander and the video. It will use the NVT Passive 4 channel Transceiver as there are 3 cameras at store#2, and each camera at the 2nd store will have UTP connection built in.

     

    He wants day night, as he will turn off most of the lights at night, at least he will leave a row of lights on in the store sales sections, elsewhere it will be pitch/near dark. Im going to use the Provideo Day/Night IR Dome for the warehouse where it will be pitch/near dark. Alll others are day/night Kalatel domes, a mixture of auto iris varifocal and fixed lens. He will also have 2 cameras just for observation, for now.

     

    Chose the 10 channel 80GB storesafe, as that is in stock at my distributor at this time. It will be online with Cable Internet for Remote Video.

     

    We should be having a Plasma Display in the Main Store's Office, not sure whether it will be for the PC Software, or a high grade plasma/LCD for the CCTV Monitor use. Smaller LCD'S will be used for the 2 observation cameras at certain locations. This is a audio/electronic store so finding a good plasma/LCD to use will be easy The store will have them throughout as well just for TV. There will be a LCD/plasma/flat screen at the door for the front door camera for clients to see, ceiling/wall hung, yet to decide which one to use.

    Hi Alan

     

    Ive already used that before, was not impressed actually. Anyway, Im looking for a standard indoor mini dome, day night, non vandal proof.

     

    Also while you are online, do you know how to install the peephole cameras, I mean where the wire would go from the camera to get it off the door, special cable or something?

     

    Thanks

    Any one know of any good day night indoor domes? Looking for an alternative to Vandal Resistant Weather Resistant, as all of them are that I have found so far. Also, I need a good name brand, nothing cheapo like eclipse or everfocus.

     

    Thanks

    One last thing, very cheao, but their cameras are still good products as I sell some of their bullets and they have lasted over 2 years so far in harbour side enviroments.

    Check this out,

     

     

    havent tried it yet, but the price is I think $###, and has a CDR like the Kalatel Store SAfe, is Linux Embedded Standalone, 8 channels. If you get it let us know how it goes, I would like to maybe start selling it.

     

    Specs are good, if they are as good as the specs, then it is well worth it.

    The windows software is not great, but at that price, I could live with it

     

    A note, embedded systems are usually either linux or nucleus, or other, they can use chipsets like the ones listed on this site, or as in Kalatel's case, powerPC chips. PowerPC parts also support Linux. I dont know a whole lot about this part of it, but thats what I found out from a little online research.

    yep, except to get a high quality image on a LCD, you need to spend 3-4 times as much as a CRT, and if its a large LCD, you can expect to spend double the price of a Plasma, in most cases, in the US at least.

     

    Most computer LCDs are no good for CCTV comp video, the quality is just not there, unless you spend the extra cash and get the best out there. Dell has a very high crisp monitor, $900 though, same as a CCTV LCD monitor.

    if the HD fails you have to send it back to the manufacturer, or have spare ones, though they claim that violates the warranty by opening it up, this is no different then other manufacturers (I cant speak for the Asian guys). It has wavebrowser on the HD, though the actual OS is in EPROM.

     

    None have ever failed in the past 2 years Thats why I like them.

     

    Everything is a computer these days, and Ill bet most of the embedded DVRs use the same OS, such as Phillips which used to use Kalatels DVRs, DM, etc. Check out Nucleus web site and Power PC web site, and you will see that they are primarily used in microelectronic devices. Power PC also supports Linux so there may be alot of Linux Embedded DVRs out there using the power PC parts also. I wonder why they call it Power PC, as its not a Personal Computer, the parts are geared towards embedded machines, and then also, it doesnt look all that powerful, as far as CPU speeds go!

     

    One difference here is that no OS programming/settings etc, are on the HD, it is saved in memory, only Video is kept on the HD, and in the new versions of the StoreSafe, the WaveBrowser software for browser based video.

    Yep she sure is a PC just checked it out again, well designed though!

     

    Not a PC like what we use though, as it does not use typical computer parts, if indeed they are using Power PC parts. I cant open it as I cant afford it if I break it! :-0

     

    Remember, PC = Personal Computer, which it is not. I imagine their Muxes are the same also, inside? Maybe they use a different OS for them since they do not require Hard Drives, etc?

     

    We can build it too, but we need some power PC parts and a full licence for Nucleus.

     

    And ofcourse about a year of learning Nucleus.. then again there is the case and production problem

     

    Do they use SCSI drives? also, can you see how the Video ports are connected to the board? Take a photo if you can

    ive noticed the post times arent in the US, where is the server located?

    just wondering... it gets kind of confusing, as its not the time here (bahamas is the same as Florida/NY, etc). Does the forum script have the feature to show the times based on the visitors geographical location?

    still, did you try them on another brand of camera?

     

    though it shouldnt make a difference,

     

    I had before, 2 same brand cameras, one after the other, ordered different times like a month or so above, different lenses like 3 different brands I tried, neither camera would let me adjust the iris level, it was a messed up florescent color, the iris pot would move but nothing happened to the camera, no matter what settings i changed. I got a different camera all together after these 2, and the same leses worked fine on the new one, just bad cameras maybe, in my situation...

    Im serious, make it weatherproof (well like you said for the battery thing) and I can sell it down here. Maybe make the kit without the pole as that would cost a fortune to ship, but spec it to a special sized pole. Include all mounts, Solar, wireless, battery packs, Cameras (day/night) with housings, etc. Make it all in black coating color. Then we can just get our own black poles. Or have 2 options, plain and black.

     

    How good were those wireless TXs? Range wise.

     

    Im sure I can sell it here, or at least offer it and see what happens. Car Parks etc.
