Ok, so it appears that the camera is staying in day model color and not switching to night mode BW. Anyone know what would cause this? Thanks

Have you ever tried Nuuo software? I've been using it for a couple years and like it alot. Just my opinion though.

Are you sure that cameras in focus??? It should be alot better than what your getting. There seems to be alot of lines in it, interlacing issue, interference?? Maybe just the lines in the deck and railing throwing me off or something. I use photobucket and it doesnt scale my pictures at all...

Actually I was looking for more of the bullet style outdoor CNB cameras... Like WFM-24VF/WFM-25VF or this one XCB-20VF/XCB-21VF or XCM-20VF/XCM-21VF

Was it because of the thread between him and AK357. I just read through it and almost pissed myself. Pretty clever pictures. Love that church sign link you put there.

Banned What for?? He was one of the few people (besides yourself and a couple others) that took the time to answer alot of the questions on here. Even the ones that have been asked a 100 times over.

Hey Matt, What do you mean "if Rory will be back, if ever" what happened to him?

That would be great thanks, maybe Rory or someone else has one of the Blue i for comparison.

Thanks, do you have any sample pics by chance you could post?

Anything yet?

Zohan and Rory, I'm trying to decide between the Blue-I and the Monalisa myself and was wondering if you ever found out which was better? Do either of you have any sample pics from each we could compare. THANKS! Glen

Would you say that a Qvis full D1 records better quality than a Q-See full D1 (30fps on all ch)? Or are they using the same parts inside and h.264 algorithm thus having the same quality recorded video?

I'm sure this is covered so I will just add to this thread Its been a while since I posted here and have not been keeping up with this technology. Of course a friend asked me for advise and I want to give him the good stuff. Two questions, it will be 4 outdoor cameras with little to no light, for whatever reason he doesn't want domes but wants the all in one type enclosure (small). Does CNB have one like that that you guys would recommend (weatherproof type) that would have all the bells and whistles for low light conditions? Second, the runs for each camera would be between 75'-100' should I use siamese or do the cat6 or 7 thing with the video baluns? If I use the video baluns anyone ever see any issue with running the power over a pair in the same case as the video is running? I thought about getting shielded cat7 just in case to lower any interference. As always thanks for your time and info. Glen

Still available, lowered price

Bump for price drop

Those are some good points. Unfortunately I have not personally used the system I was just going by stated specs alone and your right, those other things for the novice end user are a must. I'm so use to working with so many different kinds of units that I get use to just figuring it out on my own. Maybe someone else has better first hand experience with it?

Dont know about those cameras but if your going to go the Costco route get the Q-See 528 eight camera. Comes with four cameras that are probably just ok but you can then get four better quality ones yourself. The best deal is that it does D1@30FPS on all eight channels!! Pretty decent kit for $599 IMHO. Heres a link to the cheesy demo video http://syndicate.sellpoint.net/Syndicate/AptViewer?play=M04Z3G-330981&1=1&vsr_sku=null and this one is to the product page [edit by mod-store link removed] I've long moved onto a IP camera setup but if I have relatives or friends that dont want to spend that kind of money I would recommend this to them. Seems like most of the complaints are on their tech support and customer service but I think you can figure it out. Good Luck!!

Hello, Just curious, is this the same one the Costco sells for $550 (RETAIL) Also, I cant seem to find the manual to download. What is the best video/res/frame rate you can set for all 4ch? In other words does it do D1 on all four channels at 30fps or will it do D1 on all 4ch at a lower frame rate? I'm debating on recommending it for a friend but just need the real specs. Do you have any sample video or snap shots you can post? Thanks.

Ando, Looks excellent to me on the youtube. Just curious, do they plan to implement this technology and features into a 1231 style camera?? That would be the bomb!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, the demo is only good for 30 days and cant be added to the 4 channel license, so really your selling just a 4-channel license of the Nuuo right? I have used both softwares and found the Nuuo to be very feature rich and less buggy than exacq IMHO. Just curious what you see in Exacq software that is better than Nuuo. I'm not a reseller of either so I am unbiased.

Thats ridiculous, especially since you unscrew that end anyway

I prefer the 2nd one because Acti offers the new glass for free Do they make you send the whole camera back just to replace that piece??? I have four of these cameras and have already had to eat shipping of one back to them for the IR's going out. That would blow if I had to send all four back when they can just mail me the piece.
