hey i'm still pretty new to posting on the forums but have used it quite a bit for work and to futher knowledge for myself. you guys are awesome thax for everything this forum does. anyway. i am a manager for a med. sized company and i am in charge of all the integrated stuff. i have been reading a bit about IP and Megapixel cameras and from what i've seen they seem alot better than analog cameras. my ? is i want to get the company bring in a system for me to play with and possible have sales dept. start to sale them. but not sure what to get. i know a camera would be a nice start.lol but what kind of DVR or recording device shoulsd i use. we use GE, Clinton products as well as use ADI as our main distributors. so anyone have an idea of where to start or look. thax in advance for the help.

i totally agree we'll just have to see i have a rapid deployment kit with 2 cameras coming from avigilon and a day night megapixel cam from GE coming to me soon. great to work for a company that alot of business with GE i get free stuff from time to time. lol and avigilon giving me 50% off for demo kit.

i believe so i just started to talk to their sales rep for hawaii and the prices seem a little high but i am gonna order a rapid response kit from them and see how it is.

oh no i'm not stuck with GE. but if they wanna give me a free camera to play with i'll take it. lol i'm really interested in avigilon

yep that the one the left one with 2 lens. only thing is they are expensive.

thanx i talked to our GE rep and he is gonna send me 1 of their 3megapixel day night cameras so it should be cool. i'll post pics after i've got it. i was also looking at avigilon their stuff looks really good.

you know i've installed about 20 of these domes and i cant recall anything about protocol but let me dig a little deeper and see if i can find anything. have you tried calling tech support. i know it runs off of RS-422 so if your controller use that then it should work

here is a link to GE site for the camera with manuals and all. 1 tricky with these cameras is that when you address the camera you have to set dipswitch 1 number below the camera number. meaning if with your controller you select camera 1. dipswitch setting will be 0. http://www.gesecurity.com/portal/site/GESecurity/menuitem.f76d98ccce4cabed5efa421766030730?selectedID=16680&seriesyn=true&seriesID=

i will be using Object video any word on how good they are. i read they partnered up with intel.

neg. i'm not sure what else might be diffrent but i have called tech. support on this exact subject and does not work with IE7 they dont support it. like they dont support vista

sounds like your just connecting over the local area network, correct? have you ever connected to another storesafe with that computer? what i am thinking is pc might not have all reqs. just a thought. if you are just on local network. the ports are not gonna matter if he is connecting from internet than it is not a port issue because he is connecting to unit just not getting images.

not to sure but i will be installing 2 system in about a month so i can post about them then. from what i have seen it seems like it has a lot of potential

doesnt sound like a DVR problem at all. i mean the DVR just takes what the camera feeds it. i think it depends on the brand and you have to look at the camera spec. because i know for a fact the the amp draw increase a bit to light up the IRs. i would have to agree that it sounds like a power issue. i have seen some cameras that the draw can go from 500ma to 1.5 amp draw so i would for sure look at that and if specs dont show it post the brand and model number or call tech support. good luck

the DVMREs dont work with firefox or IE7. i have called tech support awhile back for this exact ?. unless they have changed something which i doubt since they are phasing out the DVMRE series. IE6 work with active x

hey everyone i am a manager for a security systems company in hawaii. integrated dept. and i've been working with CCTV for about 11 years. today a news crew came to our office for a promo and they are asking for some video from their interview from our CCTV system. we are using ge storesafe pros and i have pulled the video from the dvr but as i knew it would come out as a .20d format video. now i have never seen anything that can do what i want but i thought i'd asked anyway. is there anyway to convert the .20d to anyother video format that they might be able to use. any help would be great. very urgent they want it by tonight and i just found out about it about 3 hours ago. been googling ever since.

the company i work for does a lot of both CCTV and access but only have a couple of big customers that integrate both there is alot of bussiness here for access we do a couple of airline companies headquarters and alot of bussiness at the airport.

i totally agree i just finished there class in maryland and evertything is pretty straight foward. they also have a dvr that can integrate with their access sys. for something cheap i might look at passpoint.

i've used nuvico a bit and they are ok but yes they are cheap. the biggest problem i have is that about 80% of what i have in the field have come back with HDD failures. and nuvico doesn't acknowledge that there is a problem with them so i problaby would try the other one you mentioned.

hey folks just found your forums by accident but like it since i am in the industry. my name is randy and i work for a company called alert alarm in hawaii. so far i like what i see.

hey man that blue thing looks like the one that connects to the backbox or vise versa back box to camera but no wires go in there
