My issue with Avigilon's business strategy is that I'm not comfortable dealing with individuals I don't know and paying them whatever they think I can afford. That is how I interpret unpublished pricing. That's fine when dealing solely with large business and/or government-only products that are sold exclusively by sealed bid but, IMHO, isn't suitable for the average guy who wants to shop around because there isn't an Avigilon corner store near him to see things in person. Avigilon's reps would therefore have to be EXTREMELY professional and trustworthy for me to be able to judge whether or not I wanted to do business with them. I'm sure that there are others on here that feel the way I do and whose need and budget fits with a system that isn't sold in a dollar store. Again to my point this forum is not Avigilon's target customers. Now can we please go back to Q-See / Dahua products.

You have any proof I am "piming out demos"? If your accusations where correct wouldn't I want buellwinklie to do a review so everyone would just start emailing me their credit card numbers.? I have given demos to qualified people only and I could count the customers I have on this forum on one hand. Stop with the BS

Software yes they have a low small business level license. Camera wise they start off on the Axis P3346 level. The magic happens when you use there cameras and VMS together

buellwinkle Your readers are not Avigilon's target customers so they have no need for you to review it.

Relax it was a typo

Enterprise allows unlimited Client connections. Standard allows 5 Client connections and Core allows 2 client connections. You will need to upgrade all servers to Enterprise if you want to view all of them at the same time. Your dealer should have explained this to you.

Why not use this Axis camera with Avigilon VMS? Avigilon will also auto discover the camera. FYI I am ordering this camera on Monday.

ONVIF 2.0 does not support motion. ONVIF 2.2 does support motion. Dahua is yet to upgrade to 2.2

Where are you located? I have some connections that might be able to help if you are in the US and what 3g/4g streaming.

Unless your a government entity your going to run into bandwidth caps and you could have to pay HUGE overage fees. I have worked with a couple of interesting solutions that are analog based that include integrated live mapping with sensors for speed, braking, G-Force and Role over. If you don't need live streaming you can use a system that buffers the video in the car and then off loads the video when the car gets back to home base. Over a wifi network. You say you want to monitor over 1000 cars. Say your playing 49$ a month per car that would be $49,000 a month without any overage fees

^^^ true but if your using H.264 you should have less then 2Mbps for a 1MP camera.

On the new E** cameras where are the connections for audio and I/Os?. The only reason I can think that they did what they did so you could bench test the camera without having to dissemble them. No problems crimping rj45s I have done thousands of them.

I think you have to cut the cable IF they have a RJ45 at the other end. If it is the same design as the old 1231 you could not pass a cat5 cable with a RJ-45 end on it though the Cable Gland.

It's the resolution of the of the recording device the limiting factor

If this is the real image of the new e** cameras this is the dumbest design I have ever seen for a camera let along an outdoor camera.

Guys I have the camera but I haven't had time to play with it in a while. This is a $600+ B/W only box camera that needs a housing to be used outside. With that in mind it low light image is fantastic and is something we plan on using with VideoIQ encoders for extremely low light settings where we can't use IR.

What does this have to do with ONVIF?

Typically you will only have FPS limitations when using NVR box like Dahua. Exacq and Avigilon do not have FPS limitations.

Funny I never have any problems with Avigilon crashing or camera connection issues

I have found Milestone to be a pain in the @ss to install and configure. They tie the licenses to the MAC address of the cameras which is nightmare if you want to switch cameras.

Nah, can't be that, it's fixed iris. Right this camera is fixed iris. I have seen this before on the TCM-1231. Basically every night the image would be lighter or darker then the night before. We gave up trying to fix them and just stopped selling them because of the trouble. I also saw this issue with a VideoIQ camera which does have auto-iris and that turned out to be the issue. They replaced the camera and everything has been fine since.

It could be an iris issue.

What support? Lol. I also find it funny that an online retailer is complaining about margins.

Dahua supports only Onvif 2.0 so no motion detection.

I have built NVRs that are the size of cigarette packs for some projects. It all depends on the software you want to use.
