Very easy to do with a hybrid-DVR.... Not as easy with just a DVR. What manufacture IP camera do you have.

704, 740, not much diff, point is the acti is far from 4x the resolution, not even twice. D1 704 x 480 = 337,920 1.3MP 1280(H) x 1024(V) = 1,310,720 1,310,720/337,920 = 3.88X more pixels

No, max 740x480 I was comparing the cameras live resolution though, total image pixels, not the recording. So how you gonna play back that image? Isn't that the important part.

Yeah but how much does a POE switch/router cost? Who cares The point I was making is the camera was powered by POE. Lets do a simple test. Show people the image from a 1.3MP camera and a image from a analog D1. Guess what image everyone but Rory is gonna choose

But they only record at max 704 x 480.

Plus everything is powered with POE.

Call Axis support they are very good.

Axis also has a HD camera with component video output if that works better for you. http://www.axis.com/files/datasheet/ds_q1755_q1755e_37031_en_1004_lo.pdf

Ok this guy is funny " title="Applause" />

Let me guess... You have someone in mind?

I totally agree and have moved most of my help to the private forums.... I do enjoy talking to people in the field and sharing information but like I said before I don't see Cisco guys giving free info out.

Well port 80 is open because you can see the web interface but the ports for the video are not.... your gonna have to find the manual and see which ports need to be opened

!!

Check to make sure you have all of correct ports opened and forwarded on your router.

I have 3 NEW and 1 USED forsale. $400 NEW and $350 USED + SHIPPING

I would say if the housing was designed to be sealed seal it if it was vented vent it..... I would not put a box camera in a vented housing but that is just me. I use Videolarm and Dotworkz housings and none of them are vented.

Well mobotix is the only solution that uses NVR software to view view from NAS devices other then that any DVR software is better then searching though folders.

Axis has a great calculator with example videos.

What about bandwidth? how are you going to stream 30 5MP cameras at Mjpeg? your going back into time doesn't make any sense? My cellphone has a 1G processor and has a 8 MP camera with 720P. Give me better resolution, better analytics, and better compression at the edge.

Why

Sounds like you made a nice place for Bee's to live!!! The housings I use are air tight with heaters and blowers.... I use good housings for IP cameras stay away from the cheap stuff.

The normal Arecont MP lenses are not recommended for the 10MP camera. I have a list that is approved but they are not cheap. Also please do not post dealer pricing.

Recording directly to a NAS is very convenient but don't tell me you have to search though folders to see the images or video. Customers do not want this and there are better solutions available.
