Hi, I'm putting together a hybrid, pc-based dvr using 5008 card and 4ch IP licenses for Sanyo HD cameras. Install of sw V3.2 went smooth and now configuring the settings, however I wasn't able to find a setting or way to change "4x3" format to fill 19" wide screen monitor with 1440x900 nor the 24" with 1920x1200. Does Nuuo support wide format monitors or hdtv's like Avermedia (yes, they do) for example? Btw, the Sanyo camera's 1920x1080 is the resolution I'd like to use when enable the full screen.

One of ACTi 3401 at my customer's store keeps on going offline (once or twice in 2 month) for some reason. It comes right back when power cycled, though.

I think the dvr you got is 4ch only stand alone unit, meaning, buy an another 4ch dvr to add more cameras (upto 4 more cams...) I recommend a PC based dvr with Avermedia NV5000 or similar card from Geovision.

1/3 Type Interline Transfer CCD with Super HAD Technology DSP technology 540 TV lines resolution 380,000 Effective Pixels Minimum Illumination 0.9lx Integrated 2.8 - 10 mm F1.3 vari-focal DC auto iris On/Off Switchable CCD Iris On/Off Switchable Backlight Compensation Turbo Off Switchable Auto Gain Control ATW - Pro/ATW White Balance Mode NTSC Signal System Internal A/C Line Lock AC24V or DC12V

Not neccessary for this application = constant overhead lighting: fluorescent lamps. why pay for something u don't use... I'm looking for a cam that can produce better images with less noises and sharper details. My customer wants to verify cash transactions (changes, etc).

Thanks for your info. Now, how can I get the latest version lenses? and this applies for the Sony cam, not the Panasonic (sorry for confusions), right? or a u talking about their CCD chip that is flaw...?

It's a nicely packaged camera (weatherproof, built-in two way audio, 3mp)... Made in Germany... I was comparing this with Arecont 3105 while back, customer ended up choosing the 3105. What drove? As someone has mentioned before, the picture was grainey and with less than perfect light situation, it produced more noises. Its 3 mp sharpness seemed more like 2mp or even 1.3mp version of Arecont's.

6 months with 4 ACTi 1.3 mp cameras (3411) keeps on going strong. cant' beat the price. 5 stars.

I have installed few of those (Arecont, ACTi, Mobotix). Ditto, they produce HD quality pics that all my customers wanted but didn't want to pay the price. Only few early adapters... Okaaay, back to reality.

Thanks alpine0000. I enjoyed your post about the 484s domes. I would love to get one of those. But the price you pay for those you could've had a set of decent IP Megapixel cams plus your choice of NVR & licenses. Personally, I would.

Agree. But my customer wants to stick w/domes for discrete look. The surroundings would be well-lit with no windows that why I am looking at these cams. Somewhat basic but produce image quality that's close to the panny 485 domes???

I've been reading the forum and learning a lot from you gurus. I want to say thank you and think it's a good time to introduce myself. I am trying to start up a home based CCTV intergration (design, install, & service) business around metro Detroit. Hello everybody.

Also found Panny WV-CF284 for about 230. It has similar spec to the sony. Which one do you recommend?

Hi, I'm trying to find a quality indoor cam for looking over a cash register (right above -10ft ceiling). I came across this one "SSC-CD45" to be good value = around 200 and with 540tvl resolution. Thanks in advance.

I had a situation like that with an ir dome camera. It happens beause there is space between the face of lens and the dome lens. I manually had to move the lens body so the face of the lens(rubber or plastic ring) butts to the dome lens.
