bpzle 0 Posted December 22, 2010 No it doesn't sound good. CNB does not sell directly to end users. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omer78 0 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) No it doesn't sound good. CNB does not sell directly to end users. Thx for your response. i sent email to Sean@cnbtec.com and that is what i received from him... do you think some one want to scam me, he wrote that i can pick up the unit myself. btw i just got another email from Nelly's Surplus saying Hi, I have 2 available, how many more do you need. Thanks, i see that they have listed on there site as well help will be highly appreciated. Edited December 22, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted December 22, 2010 They are also NOT in Van Nuys - at least, there's no such address listed on their website... and there's nowhere on the website to actually purchase. What they DO have on their website, is this: http://cnbusa.com/en/html/partner/unauthorizedreseller.php Products from CNB Technology USA, Inc. are available only through CNB’s Authorized Resellers who conduct business in accordance with CNB’s purchase and sales policy.

rory 0 Posted December 22, 2010 I was confused LOL Okay so you sent an email to CNBTEC.com and they (proabably a sean in the CNB Europe devision) sent your request to a retailer in the US. His name may also be Sean. You probably just saw his email in the reply as he may have been copying the email to the CNB guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted December 23, 2010 Did you send your ORIGINAL email TO sean@cnbtec.com, or is that an address that you got a reply from when you filled in a web form or something? Cuz you know, it's really easy to spoof a "From" email address... heck, I could change my Outlook settings in about 15s to make it look like an email from me is actually coming from CNB, or from cctvforum.com, or even from you.

omer78 0 Posted December 23, 2010 hey, i never ent email directly to Sean, maybe some one forward my email to him btw from 1 to 10 scale how much the vbm 24vf will get? thx guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted December 23, 2010 Some VCM-24VFS I just installed. Still got some minor nighttime focusing/adjustments to do. Was going to use CNB wall mount brackets but did not in the end as they could be pulled down easier in this high crime area. Nice area: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thewireguys 3 Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) Is any one really happy with the images from the CNB cameras? I have installed a bunch and just don't get all the hype. Maybe i am just spoiled with all the HD/Megapixel stuff. Edited December 24, 2010 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gator 0 Posted December 24, 2010 Mine arrived yesterday. I am very impressed with the color rendition, features and the build quality. I haven't tried it on my GV800-16 DVR yet. After the holidays, I'll post a snapshot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted December 24, 2010 I think the hype may be getting a little out of hand At the same time, it certainly doesn't apply to ALL their cameras - I've used some models that were mediocre at best. They key phrase is "for the price". Even the mediocre ones have been on a par with most others in their price range; the big hype is over the Mona Lisa models, which for us anyway, have been really outstanding *value*. No, they won't measure up to megapixel for basic image quality; no, they won't generally compare to the higher-end analogs STRICTLY on the basis of image quality... but FOR THE PRICE? We get them for about 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a Panasonic WV484, for example... and about the only place the Panny beats them cleanly is in the Super Dynamic function and the ABF. Yes, the Panny has a better image... but not 2-3 times better. The Mona Lisa beats it hands-down for low-light response. And hey, as an installer... I REALLY love them. The 3-axis gimbal design is one of the best to work with, way easier than the Panasonic's, which even with all their annoying lockdown screws still ends up sloppy. For easy of installation and setup, there's simply no other dome I've EVER worked with that can touch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
