Hi KoB, does the IQM32NE-B5 have the ability to save motion activated video to a nas or ftp server? Do you have any samples, I haven't had any luck finding any. thanks.

Hi All, I am comparing these 3 cameras for home monitoring, they are all about $600 and are close in image size. I would likely get a external PIR for the cameras without so i am not concerned about that. I am concerned with image quality and features. I want to be able to save streams to some type of nas or my 7/24 linux server(possible with nvr). I would also like to view streams from my android and my tv via the networked dvr(this is a nice to have for the wife) I live in MA and the winters are 20-30 deg F with short dips into the single digits, are heaters really necessary? of the following cameras do any stand out? IQM32NE-B5 vs FD8361 vs TCM-7411 Thanks Dan

Hi, Does anyone have any experience or comments about the IP8362 camera. I am switching over from cctv and am trying to stay around $500 for my first camera. At $700 this a little over and the Axis cameras although nice are about $1000 which is to much. I also want to make sure that the cable passes through the mounting bracket so it is hidden(like the axis or vivotek) which leaves out Acti. Too bad, I liked their cameras accept for the crappy cable management. The location is my driveway about 50'x30' I am looking for decent night quality, I have motion floods and would be willing to setup a pir if necessary. TIA Dan

any thoughts on the Arecont AV1325 versus the vivotek or axis?

To follow up on my last post disclaimer, I'm new to cctv and not qualified to really compare quaility of cams, that said. I have $65 420tvl cam for comparison to the $200+ CNB to review cam specs are - 1/3" SONY Super HAD CCD - 550TVL High Resolution - Day & Night (ICR) - Digital Slow Shutter - 2x Digtial Zoom - AWB, AGC, BLC, Flickerless - Built-in IR LED & Sensor - Extra Video-out port for Easier Installation - Built-in Fan & Heater Cable Through Camera Bracket - AC24V/DC12V Dual Voltage 3.6-9mm lens the mounting hardware is solid (you could swing from it) cam won't move once it's locked down and no exposed cables to worry about, camera housing is well made. The cheap cam mount is crap! video out port is great for setup, I use a 13" tv with a composite connection for viewing cam adjustments color is much more accurate. picture is clear and crisp much more detail is viewable. I tried the blc b4 I mounted it and it seems to work pretty well, not needed in my case so I disabled it AGC is on, it seems to help picture level night picture is the biggest dif I get about 60' ir at 3.6mm, with great pq I have a 300watt motion flood, when on it does improve the pq and brighten the darker areas, with the cheap cam on or off the flood didn't make a difference, I'm sure one of the pros could explain this. Over all very happy with the cam and buy it again just for the quality housing and mount. looking for a sub $200- cam to test next if anyone has any recommendations.

Hi, I'm considering purchasing one of the following for the front of my house, I have a light that is always on and a motion 300W flood. I leaning to the speco, any input would be appreciated, thanks. speco HT-INTB8 Image Pick-Up Device. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1/3â€

I haven't received it yet it should be here sometime this week, when I get it I'll post some info.

FL (Flickerless) AGC (Automatic Gain Control) BLC (Back Light Compensation) D/N (Day & Night ON/OFF) DSS (Digital Slow Shutter) D-ZOOM (Digital Zoom) Are all switchable I have two more cams to get in the future so I can up or down in price as needed Thanks for the help, I'll report my findings after I get it.

based on my research ICR stands for IR Cut Filter Removable (ICR). Bit the bullet and ordered one so I'll see how it compares to the $65 cheapo cam I have now. Thanks

Last one, I live in the north east and not sure what will happen to the cam when temp dips below 14f/-10c and if damge will occur this cam has heater built in CNB BE4815NVR - 1/3" SONY Super HAD CCD - 550TVL High Resolution - Day & Night (ICR) - Digital Slow Shutter - 2x Digtial Zoom - AWB, AGC, BLC, Flickerless - Built-in IR LED & Sensor - Extra Video-out port for Easier Installation - Built-in Fan & Heater Cable Through Type Camera Bracket - AC24V/DC12V Dual Voltage Thanks

Thanks for the info, glad I waited for a reply.

HI, I'm thinking of picking up a avc760 or 761 and one camera to start. Any input good or bad on the two sites below? [edit by mod-sorry no store links] Thanks

Thanks for the links I'll check em out, I don't expect too much out of the 760 I'll probly go to a pc based system later on. $165 and ease of setup can't be beat. Thanks Dan

that was a realtime snapshot the avc760 is set frame best quality 30ips here's a pic of a recording I downloaded to my PC.

can't pm yet, I am looking for 480+ lor vari focal 3-9mm+- color outdoor bullet IR unsure, I have a motion flood pointing in the same direction as cam. don't know what can be seen w/o IR. Thanks Dan

I don't know I assume it is MIC claims a sony 1/3 ccd, I'm just getting started so I can't comment on the quality of cam or dvr. I am looking for a decent vari focus cam then I will have something to compare to.

I guess I'll answer my own question for those who might be looking. I bought a avc760 and 100' cable [edit by mod] shipping was $10 which arrived in a few days. I got a 8mm ir cam from [edit by mod] that took about a week, there shipping was more$. Got the cam today and plugged everything in it works, this is my first setup next I will probly look at a better cam maybe dvr card. Dan
