bpzle 0 Posted March 27, 2010 I've got 2 bids both using Video Insight, all IP cameras. The first bid will have 2x AV3155s. I'd like to sync a single Crown PZM mic to these 2 cameras. The second bid will be 2x ACM3401s. I'd like to sync a single Crown PZM mic to these 2 cameras. Should be pretty easy in theory, what's the best way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bpzle 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Maybe VI has some sort of audio capture board??? If so, I wonder how bad the latency is... Is it adjustable? Obviosly the IP cams are going to be delayed quite a bit. I'll have to call them Monday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted March 27, 2010 If your running a NVR then your only option will be something like this http://www.axis.com/products/cam_p8221/index.htm. Why do you like VI? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted March 27, 2010 The price is right for what I need/ like. I like to build my own servers from Dell and mark that up... Can't do that with Vigil. Or even get a demo for that matter... Havn't had time to play with Exacq... Nuuo is an over priced Aver NVR IMHO... LuxRiot is a joke for $1000 plus cameras... What else is there that's in a reasonable price range?

bpzle 0 Posted March 27, 2010 The Nuuo mini would have been a neat choice but I need 25 plus channels... Not cost effective to get 2 minis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardwired 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Take the time to work with Exacq, if you can..... It's really pretty nice. It has become my first choice of NVR platform, even over Milestone, in some cases (Milestone's pricing is getting a little absurd). Milestone/ONSSI is still probably the nicest, if your customer is willing to pay for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi bpzle. this camera will solve your audio problems with ip. just fitted 4 to a avermedia pro9000 video quality with the auto motorized focus keeps the quality to the best i have seen on any ip camera and the built in mic is a little powerfull but works well. http://www.use-ip.co.uk/datasheets/312/sanyo_vdchd3100p_dome_ip_camera.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted March 27, 2010 Good luck with VI Try Exacq and you will never look back. Avigilon has very nice software also but 350 per license is steep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted March 27, 2010 tom, pdf is a little clunky on my phone... won't be back to the office for a while. what is that? what are the specs? I really thad my heart set on a sexy 3mp arrecont picture... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bpzle 0 Posted March 27, 2010 just had an idea.... we're also going to have several other 3401s, regardless of if we get Arecont. I wonder if I could use the audio input on a 3401.... that would get it back to the sever.... but the question is will VI let me strip if from the cam it's coming in with and use it on other feeds?
