It's possible mine may have reconnected in 5 minutes. I didn't wait that long. I unchecked and rechecked each camera and they reconnected instantly. On the first reboot, they all reconnected instantly. On the next two reboots, they did not. Only tested it three times. Best, Christopher Yup this exactly what I am talking about and it is a BIG problem. I had one job where the only way I could get the cameras to reconnect was to completely remove the cameras from the server and then reset them up. Which when you do this you loss ALL video.

Mine all reconnect, but I only have a couple of manufacturers (Axis cameras, Axis video encoders, and Panasonic camera). Best, Christopher How long did it take to auto reconnect?

Just curious, why do you ask? Best, Christopher Try it first and then I will tell you

Aviglon's Ipad/Iphone support will be in the new build which will be released next month. Since both of you use Exacq do me a favor and pull power on your NVRs and plug them back in. Report back how long it takes for Exacq to autoreconnect to your cameras.

You can control the zoom and autofocus with Exacq. It uses the PTZ controls in Exacq.

I have had good luck with Axis and Sony IP PTZs

I have heard from multiple people that Milestone has issues with H.264 cameras over 2MP. I would love to hear what Milestone has to say about this. Please tell us what they say.

Find a distributor or online retailer with a reasonable restock fee, buy the cams you want to test, return the ones that don't meet your requirements and pay the restock. +1. +1000

The OP is asking about MP cameras for Bars. Soundy said "The day/night Areconts don't switch out of B&W in most cases" You said "Really? Is this true of the 10Mp D/N? I'm finding the HIK 5Mp about the same price as the Arecont 10Mp." You said " Has anyone tried the Arecont 10Mp for switch between night /day? I'd hate to go down another blind alley like the Mobotix M12. Very disappointed in them. That disaster cost me several hundred dollars by the time I sold the camera, despite the extensive research I'd done." I answered "What do you want to know? It's a good camera when used in the right situation. I think you where the one trying to get Mobotix to work on Linux. I am a little hesitant to recommend something because of your previous posts in another thread. Arecont like Mobotix is not a plug in and go camera. They need to be setup properly to get the best image out of them. The first thing you need to do is decide on VMS because the 10MP has limited VMS support. What are you trying to do with the camera?" You said "Has anyone tried the Arecont 10Mp for switch between night /day?" Again I said " I think you need to be more specific. Yes I have installed 10MP Day/Night Arecont camera. Yes you can adjust the switch from day/night. But you need to use this camera in the correct situation to get good results. Without knowing what you what to use the camera for I can't recommend it or any camera at this point." You say "I give up. Apparently wireguys has forgotten what is in the first page of this thread." Well I am lost. I tried to help but you don't answer my questions. Last time I am gonna try and help you. Are you trying to use this in a bar? If the answer is yes then I would NOT recommend the 10MP.

I think you need to be more specific. Yes I have installed 10MP Day/Night Arecont camera. Yes you can adjust the switch from day/night. But you need to use this camera in the correct situation to get good results. Without knowing what you what to use the camera for I can't recommend it or any camera at this point.

Exacq has no problems with H.264 MP cameras. I have many installs with them working fine.

All H.264?

I have heard that Milestone has issues with cameras over 2MP and H.246. Switch the cameras to MJPEG and see what happens.

... and I lose another couple hundred dollars if it doesn't do what the specs say. (as was the case with Mobotix) Looks like no one knows about the night/day switch with the Arecont 10. What do you want to know? It's a good camera when used in the right situation. I think you where the one trying to get Mobotix to work on Linux. I am a little hesitant to recommend something because of your previous posts in another thread. Arecont like Mobotix is not a plug in and go camera. They need to be setup properly to get the best image out of them. The first thing you need to do is decide on VMS because the 10MP has limited VMS support. What are you trying to do with the camera?

That is funny. ICRealtime says they build their own gear

I have installed the 10MP

Avigilons h.264 domes would work well

Interested in the Bosch LTC 0485 Do you take paypal?

Then why are you selling the Axis cameras in this post? viewtopic.php?f=22&t=25322 pupdogg what company do you work for?

What is your total bandwidth coming into your server? What is the maxim bandwidth GEO wants to see?

No Exacq can not email images or video. You can email a link to the web client and see live and recorded video that way.

No. VideoIQ different the traditional NVR software because they do not run a central server. The video analytics work very well and it is a great solution for securing large outdoor areas. You can record video 24/7 and/or based on rules triggered from the analytics. They have a very powerful unique solution.

Any one using them? I would like to hear the good, bad, and ugly. thanks
