You can with Exacq

Mobotix and Arecont dual sensor cameras will do better in low light.

might be a lose wire

Yes it is larger then the sony but you also said "3. Day and Night mode or be able to view black and white in very low light area." which the Sony is/can not. I am gonna bet that Sony not going to be very good in low light with these specs. Sony specs. F-number =F2.8 Day/Night = Yes (electrial D/N) Scroll to the bottem to see images from the Basler viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20564

I got a new 2300 and I don't have the upgrade problem. Have you tried to do the upgrade with EI 6 or 7? Next question is if this works will your always have to use EI 6 or 7 to upgrade them?

recommend you stay with a name brand model and you will not have compatibly issues.

Basler has the smallest IP cameras.... I have a demo unit forsale viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20564 http://www.baslerweb.com/beitraege/beitrag_en_70777.html

For cat5 you can use any switch to extend the 100m limitation.

Are you looking for Cat5 or Coax extenders?

So are they gonna have to drive to each camera and download the video individually or they will be able to access all cameras from any of the access points? How are you powering the cameras and access points? POE or 12volts?

Depends on what your looking for from this system. Do you want to see if some one is out their or do you want to be able to identify the person?

That is Exacq software great product and will do exactly what you want but is over your budget.

Axis decoder only works with Axis cameras and the same goes for Acti

Only Mobotix can do sip and voip

Exacq is easier to install, upgrade, configure and use then Milestone. Milestone you have to use IE, if you want the iphone app its $999 where the Exacq app (Exacq works on Blackberry, Android, Iphone/Ipad without it) is $50. Don't get me wrong I think Milestone is a great product but it isn't the most user friendly system and is geared for the security professional . Also one major plus for Exacq that people don't no much about it. When you export video it is exported into its own .exe file so you don't need to mess with players or codecs when you need to give evidence. Just load the file on a jump drive or DVD, take it to a different machine and click on the file that's it, very simple. Milestone has at least 5 services running on the server where Exacq only has one for the server and one for the web client. Also Milestones licenses are registered to the mac address of the cameras so if you want to replace a camera you have to log into there website or call your dealer to simply swap cameras. Exacq doesn't care what cameras are hooked up to the server they only care how many.

No, you not right. Just compare "day" pictures, and look, for example to cars roofs and windscreens. On Sanyo image everything ok, on Mobotix - that parts are over-lighted, no details. That means, dynamic range of mobotix is worse.... On your film i cant see any info about "better" dynamic range, just lamps flashing, and that areas are over-lighted (no information about different red and blue colors, looks just like a white flashers.... Better examples, what i mean: But that film demonstrates dynamic range with the very bight police lights and the ambient lighting. Most other cameras the whole image would be washed out from the flashing lights

I agree Sanyo has a nice image but your images did not show anything with dynamic range. Dynamic range, abbreviated DR or DNR,[1] is the ratio between the smallest and largest possible values of a changeable quantity, such as in sound and light. The link below shows a police care with it's lights flashing taken by an Arecont camera. http://flickr.com/gp/52581221@N04/b84ZZ6

Exacq runs on Linux Windows and Mac. They run on other versions of Linux but Exacq will only support LTS versions.

The best low light megapixel cameras are the M12 and the Arecont 3130/3135. You will need to add IR for good low light results.
