This forum has great info on camera systems but I am trying to learn more about other systems. Any one have favorite that has to do with: Access Control System design Security systems (I am a member of cocoontech ) System integration Network security thanks guys

Some IP cameras have analog outputs like Bosch and Vivotek to name a couple. Others use IP decoders like AXIS. Here is an over view of the AXIS 292 Network View Decoder. http://www.axis.com/products/cam_292/index.htm

Wow thank you for the info...... Now I will never sleep What about some info on scripting and TCP IP interfacing?

I got one today to play around with and to use for a rental/temp setup. If you don't know anything about the new AXIS one channel video server here are some of the highlights. POE, with power out to power a 12volt camera. 4 configurable I/O ports audio in/out RS-485 port for PTZ control H.264 and Motion JPEG with multiple streams SD slot for local storage ( I found 32gig SD cards) it is very small cut sheet http://www.axis.com/files/datasheet/ds_q7401_32464_en_0807_lo.pdf Using a 32gig card with H.264 I can get 11 days of storage, recording 24/7 at 6fps My only complaint so far is you can only view the recorded video using the Q7401. You can not insert the SD card into a computer and view the files. I called Axis tech support and they told me if use mjpeg I should be able to view the files using a computer and they are working on a player for H.264 to view the files without using the Q7401 GUI. AXIS is new to the on board storage so I don't think they figured out the best way to utilize it yet.

The Q4701 does not have MPEG-4 only MJPEG and Q.264 so there is no way for me to compare.

Just doing my normal web surfing till 2 am and came across this site with some very unique IP products . I like the 5 port POE outdoor rated board switch. http://www.j-systems.com/index.htm Any one ever use any of there stuff?

This camera only works on the cell network http://www.security-int.com/categories/wireless-surveillance-security-camera/3g-wireless-security-camera-for-surveillance.asp

That would be a nice setup I wish I knew how to write code and use the custom scripting option. I would write something that says : when SD disk is full FTP all files to a server and delete contents of disk then resume recording. Does anyone know where I could take a crash course in programing to write something like this?????

I would like to hear about any projects and/or jobs that used the in and out triggers on IP cameras and video servers. I am trying to get some ideas and see how creative people have got. I will start. I have a Vivotek 6111 at my front door and the digital input hooked into my doorbell. So, when some presses it I receive pre and post trigger images emailed to my Blackberry. Very simple and works every time. There is a job I am bidding right now that I would like to use a AXIS 233D with the auto tracking and trigger inputs. The costumers lot is triangular shaped with a fence equipped with vibration sensors. The system is zoned so he knows which side has an issue. I would like to install 233d and utilize the 3 triggers with the 3 zones so when the alarm is triggered the PTZ will move to the violated zone and start auto tracking any moving objects. I think it might work because the auto tracking will only be on when it is trigger by the alarm. lets hear some ideas

come on guys show me what you got.

Well do you have a DVR? If you do is it able to record IP cameras or is it analog only? I have used EnGenius outdoor access points for non-LOS project with out any problems but I was only 600ft. I think if you use directional antennas it might work for you. Price about $400 each

are you using analog or ip camera?

What housing did you use? The images look a lot better then my 3130 Could you post some night time images please?

user: demo pass: demo

Here is a link to a demo : http://60.248.39.148:1025/ It doesn't look that bad.

Motion detection is not going to work if the camera is consistently moving. If you have the camera running a guard tour but you have the camera pointed in one direction for say 30 seconds the move to a new location for 30 seconds then you can use motion detection. I know with Aimetis you can setup different motion settings at each location unlike using the cameras motion detection. Any chance you can use motion detectors hooked up to the I/O ports on the camera?

10 seconds maybe......

Does the DVR have a web interface or must you use the client software to log in? I don't know of any universal DVR clients. You could use a 4 channel video server for the remote viewing and still use the DVR for recording.

Auto tracking is only use full in areas with little or no expected movement. Say you have a large fenced in area and I night time no one is allowed in. Auto tracking might work well in the situation.

Most if not all AXIS products support IPV6

I am not trying to confuse any one but this is a good place to post this. AXIS just came out with some high power midspans and splitters which are rated a 2A @ 12V and 1A @ 24V. So you can now power heaters, blowers, and PTZs with POE. http://www.axis.com/files/datasheet/ds_high_poe_32463_en_0809_lo.pdf

I would like to see a list of lenses that fit 3130m.

The only thing I liked about there software is the ability to zoom in with multiple windows at the same time. Also it is cheap

I installed the Arecont software on a P4 laptop with 2gigs of ram it ran like a dog...... I would not install the Arecont software on anything less then a quad core.
