eyecu

Thanks for the info. I never knew mux stood for that. I feel stupid now!

Who has a decent vdr, please explain "mux" to me

The customer is old fashion. I am trying to convert him to a DVR.

Does anyone have any info on cleaning time lapse VCR's? Do it yourself type of internal cleaning,maintnance? I have several at home would like to do it myself. Any advise would be helpful.

yea ever been in the attic of a house in Arizona when the temp outside is over a 110 degrees.

Can someone recomend a decent day/night camera, there seems to be a million choices. Perfer mid to high end range. I'm getting slightly confused the more I look. Or what are some of the specs I should be looking for? Also what manafactures should I stay away from? If this last question is somthing I should not ask, I understand.

So my best bet to keep it simple would be to keep what Rory said in mind? "a decent one would have an automatic/mechanical IR Cut Filter for sure, and it would say it does. NOT a digital Day Night - these are normally cheaper in price, and hence not quite as good as a True Day Night. - They can pass for an okay camera for their price, but you arent asking about that" I should stay away from digital D/N cameras?

if you are giving them away I will take a couple hundred

Are they worth doing a job?

Does anyone know anything about thier products? http://www.ktlcctv.com[/url]

Thanks for all the info, kaysadeya is right I did not expect them to be so expensive.

Thanks for the info,big help.

Im new to the board.I find it very helpful. I will be starting a business soon. I do have a question I am mostly old school meaning Time lapse VCR, Now DVR's seem to be the thing. I do not have much experience with them. I do own a Dedicated Micros, Digital4,160GB new in the box. I am thinking of replacing my time lapse with it. Are any of you familiar with Dedicated Micros and if so is this one a decent DVR? I have had it a couple of years,just never hooked it up. Again what a great site!

Not sure what I did, but it is working now. I thank all of you for helping out with my embarasing question. Like rory I have not used a regular VCR in ages. I know it should not have been that diffacult. maybe it was just to simple.

I have no problem hooking up cameras to DVR's and timelapse, but what am I doing wrong trying to hook up a plain old VCR to a camera, why can I not make it work.

Thats what I figured,but nope.I tried four different VCRs.Do they have to be set to a certin channel?

Rory, Sent you a PM

CCTVKING could you send me more info on the Sanyo DSR-3000 series.

Rory, Thanks for all the advise. I just emailed you on The Kalatel.

Is there a website for the Kalatel units you talked about and would you suggest them or not. You also said that I should wipe/format the hardrive,how do I do that?

They do not even show the one I have on their website. I gave away my VPON I also never used, now I'm thinking I gave the wrong one away. Do you think the Dedicated Micros is good enough for the home.... it was free?
