Here is the layout: Speco 8 channel DVR with video BNC out and VGA out. I selected to use VGA monitors. Two of them, one at the DVR and one at the cash register. The greatest distance is 25 feet of cord which is a 15 pin VGA monitor cable. The monitor cable at the DVR is 3 feet. That is the installation. The monitors are Computer monitors not BNC security monitors. Cy Cattani

we install all types of cameras, DVRM's, illuminators etc, but we are not great with remote view devices. So know nothing about IP installation type cameras. So how do you hook-up and what is required as far as it is tied to a broadband connection or what, is a router required. What is required by my customer, what service is he or she required to have???

how are these cameras hooked up, what is needed. Please a short step by step explaination. What is the jacking or plug requirement etc. ???

Can we use instant messenger to discuss a topic?? Or do we have to wait for someone to diside to reply hours later.??

What cameras gave you guys the best results when a total darkness situation arises? Someone is using my customers Trash Dumpster. Black and white is fine.

In any case Rory, how do I improve the quality of the VGA picture. I am adding another 15" Lcd display at the customer check-out and am going to use a VGA splitter and I understand it has an amplifier built in. I have not installed it yet but will the next installation at this site.

what do you consider the speco tn-8 series?? is it a stand alone or is it or is it considered a computer based??? Cy

I used a speco tn-8, series dvr with a vga output to a computer lcd display and getting a poor quality picture. Do the resolution have to match both the dvr & monitor. It is not a security monitor it is a 19" I noticed another alarm company using LCD monitors instead of CRT type, the picture on those monitors are good. I see them now being used in malls and 7-eleven stores etc. Their picture quality is three time the quality of my system, why?????

What is anyone using as far as equipment for remote cctv viewing.

The Falcon uses MPEG-4 compression which has three times the storage as most of the cheaper brands. I was up against a competitor who used the Falcon and the quality was much better than the unit I used. Also the Falcon was able to be adjusted for lighting during playback and gave more frames/second for the same speed I used on my unit. Buy it !!!!!!!

What is the prcedure to view remotely 8 cameras using static or dynamic telephone line or DSL line or what? What connections are needed from what to what?

what does IT stand for? or IT department

I've come to the conclusion that MPEG 4 is the best compression technology so far with the least storage space. Is this correct????

Yes they are in business, pro-Video and Speco are the same company and available at ADI

how do I get to get into Dealer forum???? Cy Cattani
