Hi i'm looking for a outdoor camera with night feature,my budget is $200.Can i get away without a heater? I live in NJ, On winter time the average weather is 30deg F -0 deg. thanks,

Somebody broke in to the building we're working on,we just installed cameras and pelco dvr 5100 for dry run (defualt programming).unfortunately somebody broke into the building and stole brand new office equipments,before they did the crime they unplugged the dvr (we're estimated around 11:50pm Saturday) so when we reviewed the dvr it stopped recording at 11:30 pm.Also we did'nt see the guy went to the room(we have camera pointing to that room) before unplugging the dvr.Is that a data loss?

Called Pelco tech.They said my dvr software has an issue which i also noticed(pain in the butt to navigate,wont follow your command,can t check the event log,data loss,they recommend upgrading the software.

I wished Even if we catched that video I'm sure the guy was wearing a mask or a hoodie when he entered the room.

My theory is it takes a while, before the memory/buffer will de energize and will loose all data.But i guess it depends on the DVR, if they write the data instantly to the HD.Security guard was from a agency getting $10 bucks an hour maybe he got tempted of Brand new computers,printers,firewalls

Mike, Try to unplug for like 30 mins or 1 hr. and on continous recording not motion and see what will happen to your DVR Unfortunately this Pelco software sucks(only the 8 channel version).There is no way to view the event thru the software.It was an inside job cause there is a security guard on site(night till morning) with or without the dvr he is the one resposible for the computer equipment.

I'm trying to figure out how to get into the event log of pelco dvr 5100.I think you're right ,unfortunately the data was not written to the disk before it was unplugged.
