How do these Sanyo cameras work? Do they connect straight to the dvr? or do you send a video and signal wire to a module that goes to the dvr? And do they require a ptz controller?

Same here... Id rather them as well.

Can a GE or Pelco PTZ work on a Sanyo DVR? I know it might seem like a dumb question but PTZ's are expensive and I dont wanna end up buying one of those particular brands to connect to a Sanyo DVR, And not being able to fully control the PTZ.... Would those PTZ work any different on a different DVR? For Example... Would a GE PTZ work better on a GE DVR or would it work the same on a Sanyo DVR or any other DVR to be exact And, If i got a Pelco PTZ to work on a Sanyo DVR.. Would i need a Pelco Controller?

I guess so. How good are the Legend Domes?

No!.. My bad, I found some info:- PTZ Telemetry Control of up to 16 Cameras via Coax or 16 Cameras via RS-485 Directly from DVR Protocols Supported: Coaxial Control - SANYO (SSP Coax) - Pelco (Coax) RS-485/RS-422 - SANYO (SSP RS-485) http://us.sanyo.com/industrial/security/digital_video_recorders/downloads/DSR-3709-3716_ProdSheet-042105.pdf That Sux!

I cant find anything about protocols in my manuals and spec sheets. I guess i'll have to call or email them. Im sure someone else on this forum knows about Sanyo's protocols.

How can I find out if the Sanyo DVR supports the Kalatel Protocol? Because id love to use a GE CyberDome.. And as for the controller, Id use a GE. I’d use everything else as GE except the DVR because I can’t find people to buy them because “their so expensiveâ€

If you got a job that required the use of more than 400 feet of PVC or EMT pipe, How would you go about doing this job? Would you find an electrician to run all of your piping or do you just do it yourself? I asked because every job that i ever did that required piping i hated!! I dont have a problem with PVC, but EMT... Its hard to bend it if you dont know what your doing. So when you guys get jobs that require lots of pipe do you do it yourself or hiring electricians?

Anyone here ever used the Nuvico NVDV34250N DVR before?I want to try this DVR because im tired of using the Eclipse Brand...I dont ever seem to get the quality I want.And also a sales rep told me that Nuvico is a pretty good brand and the quality is good!Anyone else here has experience with this specific model?

Dont know about that, can you imagine an old haitian lady (or any old maid) out there laying conduit and operating them blow torches .. The alcholics that painted my apartment also did the tile, needless to say the tile didnt come out great That wouldn't be too Cool.. Thats what you get when you hire drunks to do work for you.. You prolly gave them liquor and told them if they do a good job they'll get a few 6 packs

Dont forget cleaning the house, getting ready to just hire a maid now LOL... Hire a maid thats a part time electrician. Kill 2 birds with one stone! You'll have a 2 for 1 deal. While she's cleaning she can bend your pipe for you. Take some of that load off your techs

LOL... This guy is hilarious! I like your style.. When i get older and more established i hope i have the same aspects as you. While my guys are sweating in the hot sun bending pipe.. I can be Having a BBQ, Watching a movie, Out at the beach, at the bar..

Never, and no plans to try it I watched an electrician doing it the other day though .. i could just pay his guy $20 to bend the pipes for me if I needed it done, otherwise i would just hire him to run all the conduit one time. lol... Lazy!

If you really want to do it, perhaps take a short course in electrical work, or do some part time work with an electrician. A busy electrician will have you bending pipe and running conduit in no time lol.. Busy and also Lazy! But thats a good idea rory. You ever try bending pipe rory? If so you any good at it?

I know how to use Google very well.. And thats how I found this Forum. But if I had no other choice then id Google "pipe bending" or whatever and teach myself. But basically I only wanted to know how the techs on this forum would go about getting pipe ran. Hire someone? Or DIY... Personally I would hire someone cause I feel as if they would do it Better, and Faster. Not downgrading myself by saying I cant do it as good with lots of practice, but i've seen piping that electricians did... And it looked very neat! I understand your thinking. And if it is a big job and needs conduit I sub that out as well to an electrician that can bend good pipe. But my point is that conduit bending is not that difficult when you LEARN the tecnique. Mr. Benfield made the video for bending conduit easy to understand. And if you follow some basic rules even the small conduit runs become easy and do look neat. Would it not be more profitable to make a few proper bends yourself than to call someone else to do it?? I'm not trying to sell the video to line my pockets. It is just a great learning tool. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck. Thanks able1.. I understand what your saying! I cant aviod learning how to properly bend pipe forever. In this particular field, out of 10 jobs.. 2-4 of them will require pipe and it would be more profitable to learn to DIY. Im just kinda lazy when it comes to that phase of a job... But eventually i'll have to learn to do it because it can add to my resume.

..Yeah! I'm kinda lazy to when it comes to that stuff. I'm good at being a Tech and poor at being an Electrician.

im not too good at it... PVC isn't so bad cause its easy to cut and bend All kidding aside Education is a wonderful thing when used. Google the following. Benfield conduit video Then buy the video - watch the video - watch the video - watch the video. If you are not sure watch the video 4 times. It is well worth the money invested on the first job you do after. Get the Benfield Manual as well if you like but the video is much easier to understand. Trust me "Been there and done that"!!!!! You will be sooooooo glad you did. I know how to use Google very well.. And thats how I found this Forum. But if I had no other choice then id Google "pipe bending" or whatever and teach myself.

Yesterday I was searching eBay and saw that there was a 4CH 40GB GE StoreSafe DVR up for auction. So I was like "Cool...I'll bid on it to see how far the bid will go." Than before I had time to bid I noticed that there was a "Buy It Now" price set at $299 for that DVR!! So I did what ANY installer/buyer that knows about GE would do. I bought it! and that same night I saw that they had up for auction a 10CH 80GB GE StoreSafe DVR... Once again I said to myself lets me see how far this will go. Before I ever placed a bid on this DVR the current bid was set at 255!!!! I'm like... Are these people's head set right? This is a $2500+ DVR in cost. And today when I came home from work I was happy to know that I won that DVR at $570 bucks. Both DVR's are listed as "Slightly used and in Great working condition. With power cables only, No Manuals or boxes."(Different eBay Sellers BTW).. eBay is known to have great deals on a varity of things and most of the time you can profit off someone's lost. And I've never used GE CCTV products before and I couldn't have beaten those prices with a STICK and a loaded AK-47 so I said what the hell... Im not lossing anything so I just went for it and hope I'm not disappointed when I receieve the DVR's.

LOL...Whats your prob bro?I never said anything wrong to offend you...I only told u i dont buy wire from eBay and i buy it from cctvoutlet..I searched for wire on eBay plenty times and never saw anything i liked.I dont know if your drunk or something but please show me where in my post i offened you!...Chill out bro.And maybe you should learn to read a post carefully before you reply.Thanks!

MAN!!!.. People over here think these camera are cheap!.. Some think a full 4 cam set up is under 1000 buck!

its the comet.. i hear that! gatta try one of those

never used the avermedia brand before. But which eclipse DVR's did he order? The LT's? or the Regular Nubix ones? The regular one's are nice.. But dang those LT's..

cachecreekcctv i bet your paying 180+24.99(for shipping).. It might be a good price but i buy wire from cctvoutlet for about 206(1000 feet).. So all things arent really cheaper on ebay. But the wire your buying could be a high quality name brand that retails for 306! Who knows? But i get 1000 feet of wire for about 206.

no problem rory.. as soon as i get them and bench test them i'll let u know.
