Still working on it, the camera is just too good That area actually looks darker in real life than the pic. I know what you mean, though. I hope to have a few more in the next few days. How do they do video motion detection.... with boxes or like Arecont? images look good. Also does the camera switch from 3MP to 1.3MP automatically or do you have 3MP day/night or 1.3MP day/night. The reason I ask is how does the NVR software handle the switch from MJPEG to H.264 when you from 3MP to 1.3MP.

perfect!!!! wireless works when done right

Quailty wireless equipment does not have to be expensive. Look at http://ubnt.com/ You can get outdoor 802.1N AP with a 40KM range for well under $100 and yes they work very well. You have to understand the limitations of wireless setups and YOU MUST TO SITE SURVEYS

Hello, I am going to do a market research about customers' favoutite 4ch dvr system : 1. what key specifications are highly required? 2. Your expectation of 4ch DVR system? 3. The reasonable price you think? More honest advices will be greatly appreciated, thanks a million in adavnce! BTW, Enduser only! ! You and your crew don't follow the rules why should I follow yours?

Think everyone should boycott this until you and your crew stop spamming and follow the rules.

I would love to help but I don't use DVRs.... sorry

Why are these guys allowed to blatantly ignore the forum rules......

I don't profit from my recommendations and I follow the rules like the rest of us. Here is an idea why dont you buy some advertising space. all links to online stores are removed as per the forum rules: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3147

No license fees for remote viewing but you need a internet connection..... most of the time there are license fees to record video

Sorry I have never used Dedicated Micros DVRs. But in my experience if the software has digital PTZ control and it is joystick compatible then it will work. Why don't you call Dedicated Micros and ask? http://www.dedicatedmicros.com/europe/support_index.php

Why do you continue to ignore the form rules..... please do not order from them.

This is a day time only $300 megapixel camera and you can see there is some motion blur in low light but the color pic is very good..... this is just one of 58 slides all with different lighting conditions with different cameras

Everyone can have links in their signature. Suky is a little over obvious as to his intentions, but it has been discussed with the admin already. Thank you Rory

thewireguys, do you have a website I could look at ? My website is under construction and I do not have a online store.... I am a system integrator but I don't mind helping out people with IP products that I sell.

all links to online stores are removed as per the forum rules: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3147 Why can SUKY have a link in his online store in his sig?

I must agree..... That looks like a interesting product might have to check it out

Personally not a fan of Netgear products. I have not had great reliability. Funny I feel the same way about Linksys.... bad luck I guess. I have used and installed both POE products. My complaint with the linksys switch is the browser is very very slow.

NETGEAR FS726TP cheaper and more ports

Do you have any IT knowledge? Are these cameras for indoors or outdoors? What is your goal with this system?

ebay Please buy from a dealer or integrator like one of the guys that has helped you out on the forum. Ebay and internet sales are going to put us out of business and then we will not be able to give you free advice.

What does that mean??? Let's assume the camera and IR source are more or less co-located and the majority (or all) of the light comes from the IR source. The lux value measured at some distance from an IR illuminator will decrease as an inverse function of the distance squared. For example, if the lux value of a light source is 0.04 at 50', the lux value will be 0.01 at 100' (double the distance means 1/4 the lux value). If camera 1 is rated for 0.04 lux and camera 2 is rated at 0.01 lux using the same testing criteria, then camera 2 will have comparable images to camera 1 at twice the distance. Call it "image quality" or call it "it's too dark to see that far", cameras with poor low light / IR sensitivity will not be able to see objects as far as cameras with better low-light / IR sensitivity. This means that if the camera has poor IR sensitivity, you will have to buy a much bigger IR source compared to a camera that has excellent IR sensitivity. The Axis 223M can see objects reasonably well at 50' using a RayMax 50 with a 1/50 shutter speed, but can't see objects at 100' at 1/50. To see objects at 100' would require 4x power output. A RayMax 200 should do the job. On the other hand, you could get a better low-light camera. I have not tested the 3130, but I expect it could easily see objects at 100' using the lower power RayMax 50. Best, Christopher I was referring to the range of the IR illuminator. If it is rated at 50M it doesn't matter what camera you have you will not see beyond 50M.

I'll leave it to someone else to address the use of a night vision camera, but to illuminate 100-150' with IR for a day/night security camera requires one of the better IR illuminators. I have a RayMax 50 combined with a Axis 223M. The 223M night sensitivity is not that great, and the RayMax 50 manages to illuminate to 50' with 90 degree coverage. The distance could be significantly increased if matched with a better low-light camera. The RayMax 50 costs about $500. To achieve 100-150', you could narrow the coverage angle, get a more powerful IR illuminator, and get a better low-light camera. Best, Christopher Your distance will not increase with a better low-light camera but your image quality will. If you want greater range you will need a more powerful IR illuminator. If you want IP I would recommend a camera with a dedicated night imager like the Arecont 3130 or the Mobotix cameras for the best results.

I would recommend a Day/Night camera with external IR illuminator. You are not gonna find a camera with built-in IR that will illuminate 150ft. check out Raytec IR products. But keep in mind if you want to light up something 50m away you need a illuminator rated at 150m. http://www.rayteccctv.com/ What cameras have you been looking at? If you don't have a current solution I would recommend a Mobotix m12. You can install a SD card and store the images in the camera. Everything is built in to the camera. No DVR/NVRs, software licenses, camera housings required to buy. http://www.mobotix.com/eng_US/content/view/full/4648

No I havent but Im guessing its their H.264 version. I would be interested in an image comparison at the same bandwidth. Refer this link for an explanation of why I say this. http://forum.nortronics.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33 So IndigoVision developed there own version of the h.264 like Arecont did?

How are you powering the camera? But keep in mind the 1231 and 3511 you can't change the lens if your going to post some comparison shots put them here http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=17732
