what's the best way to get quality images at night outside with out the use of normall lights? Cost is a issue. I have a IR LED I bought on e-bay, will it work with a regular black & white camera? Whats the best kind of night vision light? Any thought's or idea's? Thanks,

I found a spool of cat 3 cable: Telecom 1000' Plenum cat 3 6 pairs. Is there any difference other than the quanity of pairs? Thanks,

I need to get some more coax. I'm going to run 3 150' cables inside of black plastic pipe underground. Is rg-59 o.k. or what? What do you think about this Balun NV-208A-M Passive? (Spec. Attached) Would allow me to attach The brand is NTV. Or make recomendations. Thanks

I have two computar 6-60mm (T10Z0612AMS-CS) tv zoom 1:1.2. when i connect them to a camera they both have a dark picture in the evening and white out during the day. I've tryed different camera's but it is the same. I also have a Computar 8-80mm tv zoom when connected to the same camera has a good picture plenty of light???

1. I've heard pepole refer to terminating and always thought it ment connecting the wires say at a control box power disconnect ect. What does terminate mean. 2. I've heard pepole talking about loss at a connection. Is there a way to decreese this loss. 3. If I ran say 100' of cat-5. I used 2 pairs and conneced two camera's. I have 4 pair plan to connect to future camera's and one pair just exta for what if. Should I connect these wires to boxes with some type of plug receptical ect. or just wait and soilder the wire together. Or is there a better way to connect Cat-5. Also ways to reconnect or splise a Cat-5 back together? Thanks, Gunrunner1

tHANKS FOR THAT INFO.

I bought a system that came as a DVR that also has windows XP on it the manual says GV-800. There isa cd. that says GEO Vison. In the manual it says select make and model of PTZ. Will this system operate A PTZ with out anding more hardware ect. If so will it work with a older Pelco pan tilt and a Computar zoom lens? Thanks,

thanks, I'll stay away from the cat 3

2 out of 6 pictures rock back and fourth. More at the top of the picture. It's like something is rocking the camera but its not. Any thoughts on correcting? Thanks,

I looked in the manual but didn't see anything about scanning. Can I scan selected or less than all the channels? I only have 6 camera's hooked up right now and I wan't to just view the 6 camera's. Can I turn off the scan for 7 thru 16?? Thanks,

Ya, The configure icon thing worked. Thanks!!

I'm looking at a Panisonic WV-BP332 1/3" B&W 570tvl 0.06 lux 380,000 pix. Used. What do you think about this camera. I'm looking at several b&w camera's maybe you can help me buy rateing some of them. Or name others. 1. Sony 2. Panisonic 3. jvc 4. Die bold 5. Tosiba 6. Ganz 7. Honeywell 8.Navco 9. Ultax

For a black & white camera is the higher tvl make that much difference say on a name brand box camera?

I no very little to nothing about baluns or cat 5 use. I'm running the cables 150 ft. to my gaurage I will get power there? I have a pan tilt unit that needs 9 wires. Zoom lens: (zoom in zoom out, focus in focus out, power on of.) This should be 6 wires? I'll be using 6 24vac camera's This should be 12 wires. 6 camera should need 12 baluns? If I figure right I will need 27 wires? If cat 5 has 4 wires ea. I will need 7 runs. Is this right???? Thanks,

the 150 was supposed to be 150 foot from house to guarge. Reasons for using cat 5. 1. Allready have 3/4 of a spool. 2. the underground pipe I allready have is no large enough for rg-59 simese and my control cables. But should be large enough if I go with cat 5 cable. O.k. Thanks alot

If I use Cat 5 cables with Baluns. For camera, til/pan unit, zoom lense. This will be attached to my garage 150' away from my DVR. Should I use Baluns that carry the 24vac. and runit from my house or Baluns that don't carry voltage and power them from my garage? (has a seperate AC power connection from power company. I'm tring to figure out the best way to do this. I haven't bought the rg cable and I'm running Cat 5 for the tilt/pan controls. So it will probaly be best to go Cat 5 on everything? Thanks,

Thanks very much!!

I've got a V10Z-1618M 16-160mm 1:1.8 Computar motor zoom lens. I NEED HELP WIRING IT UP. It has 1 cable coming out the back with 7 wires. red, black, yellow, green, brown, white and shield. I have a 8-80mm but it has 2 cables 1 for the auto iris and the other for the zoom/focus controls. Does this lens not have auto iris? Can someone tell me how to wire it up or where I can find info on this? Thanks,

what about running Cat5? I don't know how to do it but I'm hereing others talk about it . Can someone explain to me how its done? Baluns is that something you attach to each end? Do they have bnc conector on them? Which one are good ones? Thanks,

Can someone tell me how to use cat5 . connection's and so? I looked at some Baluns that looks like the way to go .Which baluns should I buy? Thanks,

I DON"T UNDERSTAND I'm still new to using GEO Vison

Disreguard

I know I should of asked this first. but I didn't, now I'm having second thoughts. What do you think? I want to have 3 to 5 great systems. TPZ night vision. I'll tell you about system one for know. DVR/Computer: I bought this new, it came as one unit $600.00 it has 16cn. and is has GEO Vison software model GV-800. Camera: Sanyo VCB-3374, 24vac., 570 tvl., .01 lux, black and white box camera. (I think box camera's are the best but I could be wrong) Lens: Comutar model V10Z-1618M, 16-160mm, 1:1.8 I have to figure out wiring?( I also have Computar 6-60mm, 8-80mm, 12-120mm, lens) Pan-Tilt: Vicon model V353APTV Varible speed pan-tilt drive. Night vision: 2ea. 140 l.e.d. Infra red lights Pan-Tilt controller: generic 5 unit pan tilt controler. I'll have to figure ot the controler,and probaly run seperate switches for zoom. and figure out the wiring for the lens. All equipment is used, (except for the controler and the l.e.d. IR.) but it all works not sure about the 160mm lens. I have about $300.00 invested in this. less cables, wiring labor ect. I'm not consurned about the labor. Is any of these single items the wrong one's. or out dated? Is there a single unit that will do all I want for $300.00 or so. If there is what will it cost? TPZ and night vision is very important! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thanks alot, Gunrunner

I just got my DVR back from the shop. I hooked up 6 outdoor camera's and 2 out of the six the image on the screen shifts slightly to the left and back. Like something was rocking the camera back and forth. This is a constant movement seems like the top moves more than the bottom. Both camera's are 24vac black and white box type. One is a Panasonic and one is a Sanyo. the other four camera's don't shift at all. ????????? Thanks,

How can I tell a good lense? Who makes a good lense? Where can I buy a good lense? What should I pay for a good lense? Are any of the lenses on e-bay good? Do I need auto iris? Thanks,
