determining good and bad coaxial cables
brandontrjn replied to pingsquare's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
Monster cable products are good. If you use gold connectors, you will have a better outcome as well. -
Strange Moving Band in My Monitor
brandontrjn replied to Willie's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
The problem is not with the cable. If the problem was with the cable, you would most likely have constant interferrence. You will want to look at your television! I forget the technical name for it but there is a screen roll feature. Older televisions had this problem if you think back to your younger days. It used to be a knob on the television to adjust it to the signal. You will want to look into solving this problem rather than a cable problem. BTW over 600 ft of un-shielded cable and you still get a decent picture...your lucky for that -
Wireless/solar camera system
brandontrjn replied to bigblueny's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
You can find many solutions by googling "solar power" -
Wireless CCTV in a hospital - RFI?
brandontrjn replied to dgeba7040's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
There was concern some time ago (1990's) about television HD broadcasts interferring with hospital equipment. If I recall, the federal government required all hospitals to move their equipment from these frequencies. There are many types of hospital equipment that operate on digital frequencies. You will not want to use a digital frequency to broadcast a camera. -
poe for IP cam along with poa for analoge cams
brandontrjn replied to blowrabbit's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
You need a router capable of PoE supply. Type "PoE router" into google. You will also want to use a camera capable of PoE. If you try to rig something up, you could damage your router or computer. -
PUZZLE for you all...Horizontal lines from power?
brandontrjn replied to CSCOUT2001's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
If you ran the power along with the 300 ft of cable, the problem may be caused there as posted above. Does the ground cable leading from the breaker box enter the ground near the burried cable? Do you have electronic equipment over the burried wire? I don't want to stray too far from your "caused by power source" diagnoses. This shoud be easily figured out by turning off breakers (all the power) except to the breaker the camera is on until the interference goes away. Your problem may also be magnetic. A speaker near the cable could cause interference as well. -
This question is difficult to answer. If you are looking for suggestions on what camera you need give us some of your requirements.

Advice needed: single IP cam, outdoor, already have a server
brandontrjn replied to djmoose's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
This sounds like a fairly simple setup. Get any outdoor camera with the resolution you require (it sounds like cameras with normal resolution will work well for you). Storage isn't a problem for you so you could go to a higher resolution camera with no problem. You will want a camera with 0 LUX capability as well most cameras with IR emitters have the ability to view images at extremely low light levels. DONT set it to 1 frame per 10 seconds. Set it to 3 to 5 fps. Someone could run across your property in a few seconds and again, you said storage isn't a problem -
radiation resistant cctv camera
brandontrjn replied to nilakarthik's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Are these cameras looking directly at the radiation source? If not, you should purchase a camera encased in a preferrably steel casing but aluminum will help as well. Then figure the amount of radiation and where the source is. Purchase either a steel plate (1/2 inch should be sufficient) or even a lead plate and place it between the camera and the radiation source. This should stop any normal harmful radiation from reaching the electronics of the camera. Gamma rays will go through almost anything so if you that's the type of radiation this solution will not work. many types of radiation in low amounts will not harm electronics but instead may have the effect of distorting or blurring an image. If radiation is hitting the CCD element of the camera you may have this problem. Microwave radiation is probably the easiest to defend against. Simply purchase a cheap microwave, remove the door and place it between the camera and the radiation source. Microwaves will reflect so be careful with this solution. -
Need advise on which system to choose
brandontrjn replied to ssaibal's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Find an outdoor camera with 0 LUX capability. If you have any ambient light--street lights etc...-- this should provide a clear enough picture for you to use. In your doorway you will want a camera with 0 LUX capability and IR emitters. I doubt you will need much more than a standard resolution video as the subject will be relatively close. Make sure your cameras will be close enough to your wireless router to provide an adequite signal. You don't want them more than 20 feet away I would suspect even though cameras say "300 foot wireless range" this is only in optimal conditions and in line-of-sight. Otherwise you'll find yourself buying Wireless Access Points to put near the cameras. -
System solution required!
brandontrjn replied to felon's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Sorry for the multiple post. You should be aware that you are most likely not looking for a "night vision" camera. This would indicate a camera with light amplification technology, you probably don't need this. -
System solution required!
brandontrjn replied to felon's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
You can use your solution. Another solution is to look for an IP security camera with 0 LUX viewing capability (able to see at night in very low light). Most cameras with IR night lighting including the one you have listed advertise a 0 LUX capability. The IR is used for TOTAL DARKNESS. However you may find that by supplying even a small amount of light in this hallway that you can see much farther and clearer than with the IR alone. The 0 LUX capability takes advantage of any available light plus the IR to produce an image. You may find that with light from an "EXIT" sign or something that the camera sees as good as if it were day (probably will be Black and White though). If you get a 0 LUX camera and have a small light source in the area of the camera, you should not have a problem. I know your post was not mainly concerned with light but that seems to be the only sticking point with the setup you described. -
Wireless IP Camera interference question.
brandontrjn replied to LittleScoobyMaster's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
To answer your question. Digital signals such as 802.11 G are virtually imune to this type of interference issue. A digital signal will instead show pixelation, show reduced framerate or more comonly start and stop suddenly (this happens with HDtv's as well). If you experience this type of problem with a digital camera, it is most likely due to an analog link in the chain the signal follows, such as the wire connecting the wireless receiver to the CPU or viewing source.
