[streethacker 0]

So Im looking into a 4 Channel top of the line system. These are going to be put outside on a low roof and night time viewing is a MUST. buy:

 

1 Intellicam JS-4RTA-D1 1TB HD -30FPS @ 4CIF Recording on every cam, H.264 Hardware Compression, TI Davinci DSP. Dual Streaming for Internet, VOIP $1100

 

1 ECL-PS4AC Regulated 24VAC Supply with 4 Fused Outputs 1AMP Per Cam $50

 

4 ECL-557HIM 540TVL HQ1 Vandal/Resistant, Auto Iris, Mechanical IR filter,3.8-9.5mm, 30IR LEDS, Blinking Strobe $230

 

4 Microphones on all Cameras $10 Each

 

500' Of Siamese Wire $110

 

Tottal $2220

 

 

I chose this because from what I can find this is a AWESOME DVR no one can beat the price with the functions, also any1 that asks "can the DVR do this"..IT CAN i cant find one thing this DVR cant do!..If you can please TELL ME! .. This is my first time using Eclipse cams but this cam has great specs and a good price ... Any input before i make my purchase would be great..Remember this is for outside only HIGH vandal area (just had a beer can thrown through a window) and wish i had good cams to see who it was. Im willing to pay more if any1 can offer me a better solution.also I do love the blinking strobe that the cams offer will make people think twice before doing something like that again.... Thanks!

Thanks I have used the DVR b4 for a customer and it is awsome...

 

Question about a power supply..Those cams draw 1AMP per camera with IR on and Strobe on..Thats why i got that power supply... Im wondering if I take one of those cams and replace it with a PTZ will that power supply be ok..due to the fact that the PTZ power is rated at 24VAC (30 watts)... so 30W/24v=1.25 Amps...Will that power supply have enough Amps to run the PTZ?

 

Will that just cause for instance the infrareds to dim etc if the PTZ is being operated?

 

Another idea im passing around is geting a 8 Channel DVR and having 6 ECL-557HIM along with 2 PTZ...

 

ECl Cams = 1AMP with IR and strobe on

PTZ=1.25 AMPS

 

Will a power supply rated at 8 channels 24VAC, 4A continuous output work for such a setup? or is that underpowering the unit and what will happen if I do under power...Or should i buy 2 4 Channel 24VAC with 4AMP power supply? Thanks in advance!

Under powering cameras is never a good idea, especially if you have long cable runs. Your cameras will run hot if you under power them, creating more noise on the video image, especially for low light applications, and your PTZ might not function properly. You also decrease the life on your cameras if under powered. This is a really bad thing if you are in a hot area, like southern Arizona.

 

I believe, technically, those Eclipse cameras only draw about 700 mA each, so you should be good. They say 1A to include that +30% cushion that keeps the cameras running cooler. This is very important for IR cameras which generate a lot of heat.
