Quantum 0 Posted January 6, 2011 True, that would be optimal, but I'm living in a rent-house. Not worth it, so I just ran the wire. Can't find a suitable camera though. I wonder how much the Avigilon 2.0MP-HD-DOME-DN would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cglaeser 0 Posted January 6, 2011 Have not used one yet.... you? No, I have not yet tested the Vivotek IP8151. But judging from the sample videos on the Vivotek website, if I plan to drive around a big city with a security camera mounted to the dash, apparently that's the camera to get.

Would love to see/ know more when someone gets a chance to test one. I've got my first Vivotek in test on my front porch... I gotta say, a little soft on the "2mp" but DANG do I like the features.

Quantum 0 Posted January 10, 2011 Maybe these upper-end cameras aren't worth it. I don't understand why it says for a sanyo 3300, on the one hand, "Effective 16:9 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) 4:3 2288(H) x 1712(V)", and on the other hand 4MP? 1920 x 1080 is about 2MP. Where is the rest of that resolution going? Would a DLink or Panasonic serve decently for alot less money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where is the rest of that resolution going? Would a DLink or Panasonic serve decently for alot less money? Because the Sanyo's can run 720P, 1080P or 4MP. 4:3 or 16:9 Dlink is a joke for a camera and Sanyo has a better image then Panasonic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quantum 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Sanyo's literature says specifically that it has no more than "Effective 16:9 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) 4:3 2288(H) x 1712(V)", which is about half of 4MP. I don't understand this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bpzle 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Panasonic has a "toy" cctv line... they call them "Pet Cams". I'd say if you are only wanting to look at your killer Chihuahua all day, these are a perfect fit. http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/PetCams.list.84502_11002_7000000000000005702 Are those what you were referring to when you mentioned D Link and Panasonic in the same sentence Quantum??? Something tells me you're not referring to the big bad Panasonic lines that not even most of my customers can afford..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hm, I know damned well that hospitals and apartments aren't paying more than $100 each for most of their cams. I absolutely guarantee they're not getting high-end brand-name IP megapixel cams for $100 each. Even dealer wholesale is waaaay above that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless it's the most penny-pinching hospital in the US they are paying a good deal more than $100/ea for ANALOG cameras, let alone IP. Hospitals usually go name brand on their products.
