Geovision has a pure IP solution GV-NVR, Im testing one as we speak and so far its Ok. Another is Milestone it has "Transact" for POS z

I use a 901 eee PC for tuning up IP cameras and general odd jobs, it will run 1 to 2 cams ok as a DVR but that's pushing it.

As Acti will say upgrade to the latest firmware ?

try mjpeg

FYI.... you only need around 1/1000 to capture plates up to 100kph 1/100000 ? WTF ? If its night blast the plate with IR. Put a 850 filter on it otherwise day-night focus shift will be bad. my 2c

maybe change the audio CODEC in the camera

have a look in the PC`s logs first.

bit rough blowing up that castle ! BAD spy-drone....

Just fixed a clients network something took out the ADSL MODEM and the LAN card, power spike I guess ! Z

yep I think ILK has it try some different lenses You also get shrouding when something is blocking the lens [holes not big enough?] z

you will need: 1/ Camera box style -IR cut filter 1/3 or 1/2 '' 2/ 1km away you will need a LASER to illuminate the target. 3/ PTZ controller and motor 4/ The lens I calculate a 800mm lens [i think fuji do a 750mm] 5/ A DVR to record all the fun There are some nice PTZ cams but 1km maybe not. 10k might buy the lens ? Might be better to spend the money on an IP camera [360 Deg omni mobotix?] and a wireless link to your base then you get clear images and the cost will be maybe $5k -just a thought also add -solar panel, charger, batteries and lighting my 2c zmx

it will be the out socket [rj45] only 2 pins are needed for PTZ [+and-] data There will be something like 5v on the TX data when you find it -move the stick you should see small voltage spikes -a CRO could be used. z

burn the offender try 18,000 lumens ! of infrared

you only have 3 overviews which is no good if you want to actually catch an ID I would suggest 1 wide angle catch all, 1 cam at your front door a left and right camera that are zoomed into the footpaths to get IDs. on the left you have a well lit bus stop there so use that to your advantage. on the right a street light -more light for free that will get you best shots. And yes any camera will take a good static shot if the shutter is slow, but this is useless if there is motion -person walking or a car. my 2c

I know about the little CD, the `setup cam`s worked fine the 'video system' never worked kept bombing out. I have re-installed another version now I can see the settings ! still cant see custom exposure zones does it have back-light controls hiding anywhere?

I would have white light Illuminator and a IP camera [say 1.2Mp] running at 1/1000 it could check the car out before it even stopped at the gate. mag sensors could turn that on. A thermal camera will pick out any funky objects for sure tho might be pretty hot under there. -the prices are coming down I dont think a speed bump cam is not going give the Res you need to sus it out right -tho it will give an overview -and it will need more light for a whole view it might take 2 or 3 cams+ but hey that's easy my 2c

DVR compression up to high ?

That right Rob...Axis has great support for all sorts of browsers and CODEC combos I just designed a custom page for a client that selects multiple cameras with clickable options on video size, framerate, etc suit your Browser and speed WIFI/3g mobile I test it on a ipod touch, works a treat....... now im trying to find out how to stream to a nokia E71 ...............oh!

I agree they are great but Raymax charges me around $200 to post each one here. WTF! so you can guess how that goes down... I now design and market my own cheaper stronger and more powerful Take that !

no way would I use 5ghz at an airport the doppler RADAR would wipe it out ! 2.4 is way to busy 10,24,33Ghz etc for sure that why the Telco's all use it. PM me If you like. I know a good company in S.A. that can help my 2c

my 3401 does this its the auto white balance from memory- change it to fixed I think there was a firmware fix -maybe.... It caused me grief setting off motion detection Does not matter I dont use Acti ANY MORE! BAD SERVICE! UN-responsive! I think they have been taken over by aliens ? oh did I say that out loud !

Q1755 for sure ! It has a great image, IR cut filter and heaps of remote control goodies z

no not focus shift ! its motion blur I just want to set it to what I want not some unknown and undocumented mode -how hard can it be.... i just want 1/1000 for the day and 1/50 at night with the IR cut filter -at least that works.... still no answer? on these custom exposure zones its not in the setup or software I have ? -and not on Google !

low light works well -till some one walks past it's blurry, -tried the high speed bit better but its too high ! where are these custom exp zones ? z

looks like the DVR`s compression is too high, that camera looks ok.
