I would look into this.... http://www.atvideo.com/products/mc52028b-mc52028s-mc52028z

You do not need Digital DVRs or PCI cards for IP cameras. You will need a Hybrid DVR or VMS software running on a server. As Soundy said you will not get the resolution with Analog as you can with HD/Megapixel. You my get better image quality with high end analog vs low end HD/Megapixel.

Soundy I will find out. I am replacing Panasonic 484s with Sanyo HD 3100s. The cameras are the same price so this is an easy sell for the customer and I have found the Sanyo's can handle the backlighting very well. I will try to get before and after images.

He made a 900ft extension cord with 2 pairs of cat5 wire. I have Ethernet over power line stuff and it will work but I would love to see the sparks fly if he plugged in a toaster. TOTALLY NOT LEGAL IN THE USA DO NOT DO THIS.

I still haven't seen a IQI image/video that I have been impressed with. Thanks for the video.

If you want HD/Megapixel go with IP, if you want D1 Res go with Analog.

Talk about lawsuit...... holly**** is that stupid

You would need to change out the DVR for a Hybrid unit or VMS software with encoders.

+1 get yourself a good quality camera and put your money saved from buying a ptz to a good motion sencing just like this and have fun at the same time http://www.paintballsentry.com/Videos.htm You like that!!!!! hell they are a lot cheaper then a good PTZ camera

How is the cable spliced together?

From what I hear Arecont has addressed this issue and added heat sinks to the chip sets inside the cameras. I have 1 3MP and 3 5MP on my desk and they are not screaming hot. I have a job coming up with mix of 5MP and 10MP cameras so I will find out about the issues if they are fixed or not. http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=812507&type=member&item=35170476&qid=9ebdb85e-a417-46b5-b6a8-1bd303fce124&goback=.gmp_812507

I am going off of Axis recommendation and use 2 Q1755 one set to color and one set for B/W.

Exacq server price does NOT include camera licenses. They are $150 each feel fee to PM if you need licenses.

Yes Exacq servers are not cheap put you get a full 3 year warranty on the full solution unlike a dell solution that the warranty only covers the server.

"keep the cost down and something that will work" We all wish that Well you will need 2 cameras if your going with Axis. One set for day and the other for night.

Do you have firewalls on your computers on? Have you tried to log in from your Exacq server? What happen's when you disconnect the cameras from Exacq, same problem?

I can't comment on that setup but I have used successfully deployed ACTI and Exacq for audio/video for police departments.

Are you a dealer or an end user?

Onssi might be able to pull streams from the March DVRs

Ok just not going by the customize part of that site linked above though, but can buy it without the mobo and then add your own? It takes mini-itx boards so take your pick.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627+600009028&QksAutoSuggestion=&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Configurator=&IsNodeId=1&Subcategory=280&description=&Ntk=&CFG=&SpeTabStoreType=&srchInDesc=

as long as you arent doing HD video shouldnt be much issue anyway. What would cause the issue though is the OS you use and the type of DVR software, eg new Geovision would destroy that type of pc, the older Geo works fine with it (or adequate). Alot of the stand alone DVRs you mentioned for example are not running Windows so that alone makes a big difference, especially against Win Vista or Win 7. But for example on 1.6 Atoms I used they have issues with HD video on youtube under XP, but I can run 64 little windows of various DVRs and Mjpeg IP cameras with some lag mostly when changing views, but no lockup, in fact I do that on my old Asus EEE PC, but its my custom software developed on that. From what thewireguys has said Exacq is light weight also and thats a full blown NVR. Ofcourse the 1.6 Atom in those ITX cases are a little different from the ones in the netbooks/laptops, different model, probably faster. Speak to thewireguys though as he's made his own before, I believe they have some better boards with faster video chips. That 3x logic is a sweet case though, pity they cant fit in core 2 or least a pentium dual core, dont know how but Apple seems to do it in theirs Anyway no doesnt have to be super fast, even this Dahua slim line Stand alone DVR I have has some delay switching views etc and playback, slower processor than their more expensive larger models, probably to also cut down on the temps, but it records fine and hasnt crashed (yet). Rory you can put a core 2 in those cases

Has anyone tried recording video to an ssd? I am going to order a drive and test but I would like some feed back first?
