frosted

im guessing this would be a good application for high end megapixel cameras? or not?

sounds like a bloody good idea. note for my it consultancy business i have 3 servers. would quite happily have this one one of them . no bandwith restrients. this forum has allready proved invaluble in setting up my cctv business.

so anyone actually used them ?

thanks for that info both of you. the image quality seems amazing. dont see how i can get anything like that with anologe cameras to be honest. of course the storeage is and issue. but with the price of hds being so little if you build the nvr yourself (the best option imho) then chucking it 2 terra is no great deal.

have been considering this in the uk for a few months. building sites are the main possible. couple of ptz down a broadband connection, remote monitoring and recording , allready have a company interested in running a 10 site 12 months trial. deciding the kit and setup. not cheap to start up lol.

i can see your point (and thomas did u get my pm about acsess to dealer area chap?) however - if you using a key system you can send false data as each device used has a key to even allow data traffic. is hardware not software. false data to the server? what kind. will only accept input on the input switch if the right key is present. Yes of course you can disrupt the wireless signal but to do this is not normal and would require serious kit to knock out a well setup wireless system. motion detection is not a good idea for court admissible evidence in the uk. have been some intersting cases here regarding it, and bandwith is not really an issue on decent wireless network setups if they are dedicated purly for the purpose.

hi all. since the cameras are digital based put thread in here. not sure if correct place so apologies if not! basically wondering if any of you (im in uk) have come across GOOD cameras of this type for resnoble cash as they seem to be the way forward? regards, sam Clear vision CCTV

and i just looked and WOW thats the kindof setup im talking about. even though its sales pitch so im sure better there and in reality lol! still that kit is awsome. have sent of a form. would be very intersted to see how good they are in low light and the cost.

Mac address are sent unencrypted ummm not neserilly for 1 u encrypt the whole data process using a hardware buffer before interaction with the wireless card. these buffers use a key system kinda similar to pgp.

hi all. more a uk question i would say. anyone seen used or have anyopinions? also anyone have any opinions on the dvrs ljd do?

intersting. ljd obvaslly chucking there brand name on them. still they are competitve with fps and storeage capacity!

this is where my it experience comes in usefull as setting up mac and encrp secured networking is somewhat second nature to me lol!

it would be to put into clients installs. im deciding on a dvr to stick with for the next 6 months. sounds like they are half decent

well if you had sence (dopnt mean that as a persona insult) you would run them wireless on a sepearate network. this also helps with security for court admission i would imagine.

baywatch - yeah of course. you cannot put them on a normal dvr. u need to use a 100% computer based system. would setup a rackmount pc, since if there digital, will be ip based unless its really odd. and if not can use a analoge to video switch to stream it over a network. anyone got any uk suppliers i could contact for this sort of tech? (ive actually be asked today about it so need to research it). pm me if more appropiate for supplier details.

do any of u lot find any problems with pc based systems as far as reliability. never liked the idea of xp running a security system!

well maybe dream for normal installs granted lol! ive seen demos of various VERY impressive megapixel systems which are just mind blowing. just cant find any cameras that would be good for normal installs. im an it consultant as my primary trade before starting the cctv, so its prob that side getting in the way grin.

thanks for the replys. well basically looking at other options than the norm analoge cameras as the installs i have done look great but the ability to zoom into images without huge quailty loss would be an awsome tool. i can see this being very very usefull for numberplate items which is where im taking my thoughts (as well as face recon) just cant seem to find any suppliers in the uk for decent kit. below 300 a camera is the price idea i was thinking off. plus i would say not to hard to sort out recording sizes as hard disk space is now very cheap per gig, and defo when looking at a rack system

scott i would love to have a play if thats possible. pm me if you allow people to have a look (im in the trade btw)

seems like a good idea to me. you would only need one wide angle camera to cover the "area" and would ID the cars. and then the ptz will capture the specific numberplates with car info in high res and in excellent quality. obvasly the shop would need its own system, but from the sounds of it this is done. very good idea i had not thought of grin!

yeah i very much enjoyed it was awsome. lots of products. however i just dont know who to trust and use as a supplier. thinking copsecurity or y3k frosted

well i went yesterday. very intersting. what i found very intersting the huge range and differneces beteen dvrs in both price and spec. anyone got any views on "cop security" dvrs?

ive got a room sorted for the sun nite at the nec. travel lodge jobbie, and ive registerd online for the free tickets. ideal. im looking forward to it and a busy wek of installs and ordering when i get back

thanks people, most helpfull. i have got 3 sites to do now high demand for security where i am. not complaining tho!

aha! and of course register with the DPA. excellent!
