I can confirm the quality and durability of the ETS microphone. I have had one up outside for 2 yrs without a single problem The will pick up the register conversation and counting change from the opposite end of the store without a problem. They are very sensative and clear. Hope it helps, Gesualdo

Hi Jessica, welcome. You may need to post this in the dvr section of the forum for a response or a moderator may move it. I do not have your dvr but I think you need to tell the dvr what you want it to play. You need to do a search in the menu for playback events or times to playback, select them and then play them back. It may also be in backup. Good luck Gesualdo

Help! I'm trying to convert .umv file off a speco dvr to some format that can be used by moviemaker or format to be played on regular household dvd player. Does anyone have any idea how to do this or where I can find a converter? Thanks, Gesualdo

I have a tv tuner card that I have used to capture the video from the DVR but it has to be realtime playback to record. The dvr comes with both usb and cd burner backup that only puts it in .umv format therefore I must install and use the uniplayer to view on the computer and unusable on a standard dvd player. It does this in a matter of minutes. I wanted to make it play on a standard dvd player connected to the TV. I have some footage of deer eating pumpkins off the front porch for almost an hour I wanted to share. Just recently had some guys take revenge on the neighbor across the streets car with a baseball bat that I would like to transfer more quickly. Just thought there would be an easier route. Again I say, "It's all in what they don't say in the advertising! Just elude to." Any DVR that does make dvd that play on a standard dvd player? Does the G4 do this as advertised?

Wow! I was looking to convert this back in April. Still want to with different videos. THe DVR creates the disk with the uniplayer on it after opening the player you can play the video. I wanted to make a disk that would play in a standard dvd player. My computer has a dvd burner on it. I bought and used a video capture card on the spot out from the DVR to the computer. Never did burn it to disk. Gesualdo

None that I know of and if it was it would be vandal immune also. You need to find one or try to limmit the amount it picks up the street if possible. the problem is this also limits the area the vandals will need to be in to trigger it for your picture, and unless you have very cooperative vandals (rare, or they wouldn't be vandals) you won't get them either. Can you limit their access to your mailbox so they have to trigger the light and camera?

What's wrong here? When I replaced my front camera I moved the existing ex40mnx camera with an 8mm lens and 940nm filter from the front of the house to the side to cover a walkway to the back. it actually is in a more restricted area than before, it is now 12 ft up and on the side of the house, above the gate pointed at a brick sidewalk that is picked up 5ft in front of the camera at the bottom of the picture to maybe 20ft max at the top of the picture. there is biege siding on the left, with a 10 foot tall juniper bush 20 ft in front of camera between the house and the sidewalk, the base is just out of the picture area , a narrow strip of grass and then a driveway to the right (also not in picture). there is a street light 30 ft beyond the viewing area. It does switch to b&w but fades to nothing and all snow as the sun sets. The problem is, when I walk right up to the camera waving my arms you can barely see me. I went out with a flashlight and it pick up great and can see clearly. turn aff the light and al snow. with that much to bounce off of it should see a person at 5 ft shouldn't it? They should be overpowered. What's wrong? IR not working? I would post pictures but the picture didn't go to the usb drive properly so onl have a day image, maybe tomorrow

Checked the voltage both day and night and they was a minimal drop at night I don't remember the numbers now but they were sent with the camera when returned to extreme for repair. I do remember they were the same as the other ex40 camera I have up. Switched them at the time and that one worked in this location. I simply installed a solar motion light behind this camera. It turns on every time the neighbor comes in or out, but hey, he doesn't mind the extra light at my expense. The cat doesn't seem to like the sudden light it triggers when it goes through though. Problem is now people are washed out in the picture so no facial recognition. May move the light back or up some. I had a ex 82 fail right after getting this back. It took president because of its location, sent out for repair, which by the way they said didn't have a problem though the thing would switch between the two cameras all day long and no IR at night (no Glow or picture). I also included Cd and print images that They never looked at. I do have to say thanks to Lori at Spytown who fought with Bosch/Extreme. I was finally sent a new camera which I installed yesterday Seems to be working.

Not fond of the speco line. Wording is tricky. What is not said in ad is very important. watch the specifics, data, and try to pin them down to terms before purchasing. Know the terminology before buying from any vendor salesman because they are not going to help you out by pointing out product weaknesses. forum members are excluded from last statement. Just my two cents.

I sent back the ex40 for repair and they "fixed" it to no improvement in image. I gave up and simply added a perminent light negating the purpose of the IR. I then have to send back an Ex82 that the sensor would intermittantly fail over 4 days, constantly switching from day to night and back, then completely stopped working, and they find nothing wrong with it. They didn't even bother to view the included video footage or picture examples. They then want to charge me for work that is still in warrantee. the thing is less than 10 months old. Anyone else get such crappy service or is it just me? Or is this normal service and I'm mistaken....

Interesting because I was not offered that from the extreme line and having extreme problems with service

DON"T ASK>>>

Thanks for the tip. the sad part is the camera was shipped to them with a disk of the pictures posted video footage from the camera, a detailed list of the problem and methods used to determine specific problem for requested repair. Daytime image is still fine but the night time is still crap. I'm VERY hesitant to send it back to have another board replaced and another $200+ bill. I have a feeling that I am going to wind up paying th same amount for a new camera in repairs by the time I get this thing fixed. I will probably wind up running a power line and installing a perminent light rather than send it back again. This was to avoid that outcome since it would be lighting over the neighbors driveway and house as well as the walkway. I guess the image does qualify as an improvement over the nothing at all I had before

Help. I need a 18 LED IR ring for an EX40 dome camera. 850nm Can anyone help.

this what it looks like now...

yes it does have an ir lens, It worked in the previous location. When it came back from extreme it had a "camera module" replaced. I have no idea what one. I have the exact same view so the lens is the same. I think I need to ave the IR power adjustment module replaced or the IR ring replaced, the adjustment does not change anything. It is putting out IR but it does not seem to be much. I am going to point it at the blank wall of the neighbors house across the driveway about the same distance away and see if it reflects that back. How many LED's should I need to cover the area in the photos?

OK. installed it yesterday and unfortunately there is no change in the night picture. still goes to same black snowy picture. How many led does it take to light up a 15X20 space outdoors? there are 18 on the camera and 4 are prtially covered by the side of the dome.

You may loose about 20-25% brightness. about the same a wearing a pair of sunglasses.

well... it's been a while... I took the camera down. contacted Spytown, where I purchased it, and found out it was indeed off warrantee. However, Lori from Spytown, took it upon herself to contacted Extreme for me and made arrangements to have it sent in for estimate for repair. I was directed to send it to Extreme directly and Spytown did all the calling to follow up on repairs and details about problem. When Lori from Spytown called to inform me of the charge and confirm the repair was to cost $220. and Extreme wanted the money upfront. Now, I am not one to use my credit card online and seldom use it on the phone. Actually, my purchases with them were paid with personal checks only. Understandng this she arranged payment of Extreme's bill to have the repair expedited and I could send them the payment after I received the camera back from Extreme and invoiced. I immediately cut a check to Spytown. I just received the camera today and will set it up on the bench tonight and mount it tomorrow. Picture to follow. I can not praise Spytown's service enough and have to say that Howard has a HUGE asset in customer service in Lori. She should get a raise. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU

Hey, I tried to stop it
