    Need Feedback on product

    Has anyone sold these (or used them), devices? I have been approached to sell this product, and I can get pretty good pricing. Our showroom is not ready, but this looks interesting. The product is called Sola Tube, and it competes with the FatMan iTube products I have never heard of Sola Tube. I googled it, and all I find is solar tube, LOL! http://www.fat-man.co.uk/ Any feedback woud be greatly appreciated.
  3. I hope it is an easy repull!
  4. Is it possible to put resistors on the closer cameras to give it more of a load?

    Another EB1304 Question.

    I def can relate to that! Whether it is CCTV, Home Theater, Security Systems, or Whole House Audio, or an Amplifier/Receiver setup there is always that one box that needs to be checked, or unchecked, on installations, or troubleshooting, and repair work. I always seem to get weird looks from customers as they see me reading a manual before I work on their equipment. I know what is going through their heads. Isn't he supposed to be an expert?? I can find my troubleshooting problems reading the manual, than I can just standing there scratching my head, and trying different configurations, and setting to fix it by elimination.

    Hi everyone--Starting out here in Palm Beach, FL

    Thank you Rick!
  12. I was wondering if you could pull the audio, and the video directly off the DVR using this http://www.divx.com/products/hw/detail.php?p=1 and then convert it to anyformat that you need? What do you think?
  13. It appears that the audio does not get converted to AVI during the process. As to why this would happen non of us have any answers. There are others who have tried various media players to no avail. Here is a recent thread. http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12053
  14. I was able to play a majority of them at 11 am today.

    I agree. _____________________________________________________________ Video Server S is used on the older DVRS, and when they started doing MPEG I believe that is when they started using Video Server E.

    Fabrication Shop Security Design

    You will have to test the cameras out in that environment before you install to see if it meets your specs. Cameras will react differently in different environments. Everything looks good to go so far.

    Gas Tank Control

    I only do small jobs so I cannot truely answer those kind of questions. I might do a car dealership, car rental, doctors office, or a fastfood restaurant where they are only locking one, or two doors for employees only, or to keep customers in a "lobby" area. You have to plan each job to it's own needs. If power goes out you do not want to use fail secure devices as the doors remain locked, and you cannot get in, or out. In a cash room, you would not want to use fail safe devices as then the door would be unsecured, and so would the cash. Most of the jobs that I do the doors work like they normally would work without the access control system. The only problem to exit/entrance would be automatic doors such as at supermarkets, and such. They would not work without power anyways, so there would have to be a secondary door in the plan. Without the access system you use the dead bolts to secure doors, and you still have door knobs to get in, or out, and with the access system you are taking your security to a higher level. A door can be physically unlocked, but you can still keep the public out as they do not have a card to swipe. A large multidoor system is a whole different breed, and not to be left to the "DIY". There are many codes, and regulations once you get to large multidoor systems. On large multi door systems it would knock your socks off if you saw how many wires you would have to home run back to a panel!! YIKES! _____________________________________________________________ This can be used for a small system for small power outages: http://eclipsecctv.com/ECL-PS8DCB_power_supply.html or you can use this to custom make your own system: http://eclipsecctv.com/ECL-MX12070_rechargeable_battery.html You can always use Photo cells to keep a system charged up here in Florida. I have seen rooms stacked with marine style "car" batteries!! _____________________________________________________________ You will need to find someone who installs in that kind of environment. Equipment might be rated for that temp, but an installer is going to really know what is going to survive, and what equipment has "personalities" at the extreme weather.

    Gas Tank Control

    This is my favorite one! http://eclipsecctv.com/ECL-ACC950_door_controller.html You will love it because it is a "one up unit". In other words you do not need a panel somewhere, and install stuff all over the place. This has everything inside! All you need is power to this device, and power to your maglock, or in your case the relay. http://cctvsupportsite.com/ Look to the upper left where you see manuals, and software, click on ACCESS CONTROL Scroll down to ACC 950 Click on Manuals, and Diagrams Click on acc950_userguide-1 This will show you how to wire the system! Click on this for the complete manual ACC-950v3 Manual 05 with quick guide Keychain Prox "card" for drivers. http://eclipsecctv.com/ECL-ACC230_proximity_card.html _____________________________________________________________ Maglock will hold a door closed when it is energized with 12 volts. When you waive your prox card then the device releases the 12 volts (turns it off), and the door opens, and then it reenergizes the maglock locking the door. You can get what they call a "digital" relay. It uses opto to isolate. You can use a 120 volt relay that is controlled by 12 volts therefore no spark from the relay itself. _____________________________________________________________ Here is a trick. Put a red strobe light on the pump. When it is activated it will flash. Your drivers will be annoyed, unless you can put it somewhere where it is not in their eyes. An unauthorized person will have a panic attack as they may think it is alarmed! If there is a "lookout" it will def freak them out! What do you think?

    Eclipse CCTV products

    Gotta love Eclipse!! It is not if they are low budget, it is how to install them that makes them work! Know the camera, and you can make it look real good. If you do not know your camera then you soon will the hard way good, or bad!! This is the camera that kicked my in the butt a long time ago, and made me a believer in the impossible! http://eclipsecctv.com/ECL-374.html I was in a dark night club testing cameras on a ladder for a dog, and pony show for a customer, and I threw this camera on to make sure it was working before I went to my next dog, and pony show, er I mean appointment. BAM! Picture perfect B/W video in a darkened night club!! Who knew?? Before Eclipse stopped selling them I was installing them left, and right with all of the nightclubs, and bars!! This is a screamin Deamon in a dark environment too!! http://eclipsecctv.com/ECL-PIR.html
