Thanks rory, that explaned my problem with some KT&C cams I have that are washed out during the day.

it goes bw at night.

I tryed twist on but did not like it. Now I use compression. Strange thing with the plen version you have to make a cut down the jacket. Also after about 8 connections your hands will be ready to fall off you have to press so hard. You can check out the video. http://www.icmcorp.net/demos/plenum%20prep%20demo.wmv or http://www.icmcorp.net/F-ConnCommSeries.htm

I am trying to setup the geo lanview log system but when it does the sharing checks for the video drives they fail. Do i have to add them as a mapped drive on the client computer? I can access them via the admin share e$ and f$

Is there anyway you can make the geo multiview open on a specifyed monitor. On my laptop it will only open on the laptop screen and not the CRT I have connected.

I should have posted my update. A bad power supply from dell was my problem with the shock. I still do not know about the 4 volts running from the ouside of the bnc to any ground I use, it must be by design because all the cameras i have will do it. unless i am not useing my test tool correct or has a problem. to replicate this just hook a single camera to a power supply then touch one lead to the outside of the BNC, then the other to ground. With a 6 amp 12 volt ps i get 4.4 DC and with a smaller power supply i get 1.4 volts DC. after the first camera is connected non of the other cams have the problem. all the cameras work great and I am happy not to get shocked anymore if someone else test the above please post if you get the same. I am going to do the install with the strange 4 volt problem.

I have a b-tron 16-12-2 12 volt power supply. I am testing some cameras and when i go to hook it to my geo it makes my hand tingles. Can someone please help. Is solid black - neg and black with stripe + pos I made a short patch cable with twist on bnc, could a bad cable do this?

Has anyone tried to view a axis camera on a handheld over a cell wireless network. Verizon says they have 300-400kbps standard and up to 1.5 meg burst. I talked with a guy that has it on his laptop and he said it worked ok. http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobileoptions/broadband/index.jsp I was going to pair it with a smart phone and axis camera that has the pocket pc application. http://www.axis.com/products/cam_ace/index.htm Is there any other camera companys that have PDA software? Has anyone tryed G-View (PDA Viewer) from geovision?

the b-tron allready had a 2 prong installed. i think the end is near useing two differnet cameras and two differnt power supplys i can only get shocked by the btron. now i do not know if it is because the b-tron has more amps than the other power supply or if there is a problem. BTW thanks for all the help.

www.pricewatch.com and www.directron.com (local for me)

With just the geo in my hand i get nothing. I did a voltage test from the cam video out to the geo and they all have tound 3-4 voltz.

the b-tron green is attched to the b-tron box, the box is lying on the floor.

Sorry that was 3 foot power cord. the pc is a dell GX620 with the pc off and the camera on i do not get the shock. also the cam on will not shock me either, not untill both are on and try to make the bnc connection.

I have a 3 power cord going from the b-tron to the camera and a 3 foot video BNC going from the camera to the geo card. I tested the b-tron and it has 12.09 VDC, I tested the end of the power cord that goes to the camera and it also has 12.09 VDC. I plug the camera in to the b-tron then test the video connector, it has about 80 mA on it. hard to tell it jumps all around. Now i get the tingle when I am holding the BNC on the back of the geo and the BNC off the 3 foot patch cord that connects the video from the cam to the back of the geo. with a differnet cam i get 1.2 VDC from the video out. i am touching +red to the center and -black to the BNC outside to get this reading. Not sure if this should do anything.

The cam is 12 Volt DC. I have not connected it to the Geo all the way because i do not want to fry it. The power wire from b-tron was from the wall to the unit. I am going to buy a digital multimeter today to test with.

I am only wireing the camera, the power cord to the b-tron was allready installed. the part that is shocking me would be when I try to connect the bnc from the camera to the geo card. Can a very short video cable do this? Mine is 3 feet, I made it for testing.

I am going to try the ideal In-Sure http://www.idealindustries.com/IDEAL-EZ/products.nsf/ItemMasterLookup/p30-086J?OpenDocument It looks fast and I can mix wire sizes. The box says UL listed for grounding and bonding. It also says 600 volts max building wire, 1000 volts sign or lighting fixtures. It looks much weaker than the spec.

Here is how to get 125 miles (world record) http://www.wifi-shootout.com So yes 300 meters is ok, but do not believe the 30 mile talk distance has more to do with line of sight and interference. Every location is deferent. Water has major effects on wifi, that is the problem with trees. It is not the density of wood but the fact they are full of water. I can only help you from a network standpoint, I am new to CCTV. www.wisp-router.com is a great vendor, the owner is very good. And helped make the Ikarus OS. www.defactowireless.com is also good, allot of WISP use them. www.wifi-plus.com have heard good things about there antenna. www.pacwireless.com very popular antenna

I was told today the Samsung SDC-415ND does not exist. The box and user guide have it as a option but my vendor said it was a typo. Did samsung ever make a ND (12volt DC) 415? I have the NA (24volt AC) version.

N-->NTSC P-->Pal My problem is with the D--> DC 12V <----------- told they never made it. A--> AC24~ H--> AC 230V~

You do not have to be that big, if you buy 5 at a time with Open License and Select License there is no activation.

If I use port 80 on the camera how would they know I am not surfing the net? I would think 3x faster than dialup would look OK.

I gave Milestek a try for the first time. I would normally use graybar because they have a local office. They where great, I ordered it around 2 pm and with UPS ground it is making it to my door today. It is nice to have another vendor to work with.

I wanted to know why in the video on how to install the f-conn it has you cut down the jacket with a knife. http://www.icmcorp.net/demos/plenum%20prep%20demo.wmv This seems like a work around. FYI They have lots of how to video http://www.icmcorp.net/F-ConnCommSeries.htm

Has anyone used the Samsung SDC-415? Is it better than the JVC TK-C920U? -link-removed-by-mod - /product_info-SecurityCameras-ColorDayNight-SamsungSDC415.html -link-removed-by-mod - /specs/SDC-415.pdf Spec looks good for the price.
