Found a couple on this site.. http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/cam-bullet-bw.htm Theres a b+w bullet weatherproof camera ( Model 19BW ) 1/3 ccd 0.05 lux , 420 line And theres a b+w Sony EXVIEW low light CCD ( Model LL202X ) 1/3 exview ccd 0.003 , lux 400 line Both available with a choice of lenses ( 2.9 - 16mm ) I presume the exview would be the better choice ( shame its not water tight like the other one ) I did read up on this forum that the exview is a good piece of kit Can anyone confirm that this would be the best choice. B.Rgds John

Am looking for some external weatherproof bw day / night cams or good quality bw low level ones . Can anyone recommend a supplier / models to buy in the uk . Was hoping for some advice , so I would end up with some good quality cameras. B.Rgds:) John...

thanks for the advice. I have installed this j2000 , but cant get it setup for remote internet viewing ?? Had a mate of mine set it all up as per the instructions , but cant access it via the web It says if you can ping it ok then we should be able to access it. Also cannot seem to get anything from the vga port ( connecting it to a plasma / lcd etc ) It only seems to output from the composite out ? Not sure if we are doing something wrong or if the machine is at fault

Thanks .! Have just picked up a cheap j2000 with 300gb h/drive & Cd writer , so will see what this unit is like , then I may buy one of the avermedia eb1304net for my shop premises . I just need to get some cameras sorted now , not realy sure what is good Have seen some cameras here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170063565265&rd=1&rd=1 They are quite cheap so I presume they are not too hot ?? I have seen similar ones for more than double that price , but I feeel they maybe the same quality camera. I would prefer to pay £100 + for each camera , but knowing that they are very good quality cameras.

Many thanks for the reply. Can you point me in the right direction of some good quality external domes . or is there any good models to look out for Think I may go for the dvr from America , it does sound ok to me , if anyone else maybe from America who has tested one of them and has any comments about it I would be greatly appreciative B.Rgds John...

I am going to fit a system at my home ( 1 x dvr and 4 x external cameras ) I was tempted to get the Avermedia EB1304NET ( 4 x channel ). It would be great as I wanted to fit it in my bedroom and this model doesnt have a fan . But not sure on what the life span would be like on them , ie with them not been fan cooled wouldnt they run quite hot and shorten the life span ? I was speaking to a friend of mine and he advised going for a better system ,, ie a colossus 4 channel , 2cif . & 4 x low level light dome cameras . He said to go for a 2cif dvr as they would be better , and 4cif would be a bit expensive. I have seen his setup ( colossus as above) , but seemed his low level light cameras seemed quite poor quality in low level light to me ( and the black content was filled with blue flashing dots ) . I have since seen some 4cif dvr,s here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250066539246&rd=1&rd=1 That would be even better as I could add extra cameras at a later date if needed. I would be greatful of any advice on that dvr and also 4 x cameras There will be a small amout of light from streetlamps , so would I be better going for the night vision type ? . I would like the dome type as these dont seem to look as if they are invading the neighbours properties. I didnt want to just go ahead and buy them and have problems and then post here for someone to say what I bought was rubbish Any advice on what dvr / cameras would be more than welcome Incedently my friend said the colossus was £450 + vat , so this dvr is the same price , but is it a better buy ps is there a workaround for the noise issue from the dvrs with fans
