Here is a night shot of my driveway. This is with one 60watt bulb on the house and 2 nearby streetlights. Here is a daytime image.

Used CNB VCM-24VF 600TVL 2.8-10.5mm Vandal Proof Outdoor Day/Night Dome Security Camera. I used this for several months before deciding to go to an IP system. This camera is in very good condition. I have the original box, instruction manual and all accessories. Asking $125 shipped UPS Ground (US only).

Price dropped to $100 - lets get it sold

Well then: 1. I paid too much 2. You blew any chance of me selling it here Thanks

Ready to get this thing sold. Price dropped to $550.

Well that makes things easier on me then. Thank you for the reply.

I received a CNB VCM-24VF to replace an existing camera. The existing camera is using a 12V DC power supply which according to the manual will work for this camera, however, it states that it should not be used over UTP. Can someone explain to me why I can use 24V AC but not 12V DC over UTP?

First of all, thank you to those that regularly respond to questions on these forums. Your time spent assisting others is greatly appreciated. My question is regarding cabling and balluns. Based on what I've read here, I'm going to use cat5 instead of the pre-made cables, but I am not sure what balluns to use. I see them ranging in price from $3-$30. Question 1: What balluns would you suggest that include both screw terminals and power? Question 2: Who is a good source for outdoor rated cat5? I will be running this under my eaves since it is very difficult to get around in my attic.

I see. Would you tell me which ones you recommend (brands)?

First off, thank you to those that routinely offer your advice and assistance. I am looking for an 8 channel DVR that will record D1 @ 15FPS or greater on all channels. I was going to purchase one from Super Circuits (http://www.supercircuits.com/Digital-Video-Recorders/8-Channel-DVRs/BLK-DH200800D) until the hard drive prices went through the roof. They will not allow you to install your own HD without voiding the warranty. I then looked into the Qvis Apollo HD that was suggested here, however, I see that it only offers D1 @ 7 FPS. Can anyone recommend something around $500 that will meet these specs?

ARGH*, I just typed a novel and because I inserted links and I have only a few posts, I lost the entire thing. Here goes again. A funny bit of background you might enjoy. Last year I wanted to put in a system but my wife was not very supportive of the expenditure, so I set the notion aside. Last week I was looking on Google Maps Streetview and saw that they captured a picture of a person looking inside our garage, and then going into our garage. We have no idea who this person was and there were not any cars on the street. So needless to say, she is now onboard with having cameras. Once the system lets me, I will post the picture. Here is what I would like to accomplish, and of course, like every other customer out there, I would like to accomplish it without spending a ton of money. How much is a ton, I'm not sure yet? I have a 2 story home and would like to cover the front door, back door, driveway and back side of the house. With the exception of the backside of the house, there is good lighting. The cameras would need to be placed under the soffet, with the exception of the front door, where I would want to mount it lower to be able to recognize visitors (I'm assuming a board camera here?). I would prefer color cameras, however, if I need to go BW to accomplish a good quality picture at night, then that is fine. I would rather stay away from IR if possible since it washes out many details. Here is what I would like for DVR features: - Record on motion - Be able to setup email alerts when motion is detected, and be able to dictate a schedule for these alerts so I'm not getting emails at night, etc. - Be able to record and playback video at 15FPS at a decent resolution (such as 640x instead of 320x) - Be able to remotely view the cameras (I have broadband access). In addition, I would reall like to be able to see the cameras from any television in the home (tie into my cable feed). I have a diagram of the house layout, lights, etc., and will post the link once the system allows me to. Hopefully I've given everyone enough info to start this conversation off. Thank you in advance for your input and time.

I think what Scorpion is trying to say is all your going to see is the top of the persons head and not a face shot, unless the look up...tell me if i am wrong.. Also the picture you posted is that the picture you said you got off google? .. Gotcha. While I know this is not the optimum placement for the camera, I don't really think I have much other choice since its a 2 story. Also the main reason for having a camera on the driveway is that there are not any windows that can see the driveway. While I may not be able to ID the person, at least I can see if someone is there or not and get a general description (clothing, etc.). Yes, the very first picture that I posted was from Google.

If you are referring to the bottom of the picture, that was my knee. If you are referring to the angle, I understand. So 3.6 is the widest angle lense correct? If that is so, then I guess that's about as much of the driveway I'm going to be able to cover then.

On your suggestion on the 6mm for the top corner cameras, I agree. One would have a fairly tight shot on the back door and the other would be looking at the breaker box, phones and the side window. For the driveway camera, I would like to just cover the distance from the garage door to the end of the cars. I measured and the distance from the door to the end of the cars is 20'. From the ground to the soffet is 16'. I hated Geometry and therefore have no idea how far it would be from the camera to the end of the car I had the ladder up today looking to make sure I could run the cable through the soffet and snapped this picture. This shot is pretty close to what I'd like to be able to see. I wouldn't mind it going a little closer to the street.

Now that I have 5 posts, here are the pics mentioned above. Who is this guy? Diagram of the house.

I am trying to plan out my system and wondering if it is possible to connect a DVR to a wireless router. Here at the details: I have a two story house, with the office being on the first floor (this is where my computer/modem/wireless router are). It would be very tough to get all of the cameras run to the first floor and so I am hoping to place the DVR on the second floor, however, I don't have any Ethernet run upstairs. Is there any way to connect my DVR to my network using a wireless connection?

Thanks for the replies and warnings. I appreciate it.

This is an 8 channel standalone DVR. The specs read: 8 CH Video Input 8 CH Video Loop Out MEPG4 Internet Enabled Remote Viewer Software 240/120 FPS Viewing / Recording CD Burner Motion Detection My question is on the FPS. Am I understanding this right that you can view the 8 cameras at 30FPS, but only record at 15FPS? Also, on the DVR's that don't come with Hard Drives, is it easy enough to purhase your own and install?

I'm looking for a reputable dealer in Houston. Are any of you in Houston or know someone that is?

Either Wholesale or Retail.
