Great Idea

[rory 0]

Finally someone has come through with this great idea!

 

I have looked everywhere and there really is no general CCTV forum's out there, until now. Google's newsgroups are limited.

 

Maybe there should be a NEW RELEASE thread here also, for info found on new CCTV equipment released. Could be useful to us system designers, and newbies also. There are some web sites that display new items but you need to scroll though lines and lines of other security equipment to see relavant to CCTV.

 

Ill put a link to this forum on my site, ASAP.

Thanks Rory

 

As I said before, I could have used a site like this to put my system together. Maybe somebody could have warned me about those Sony domes I got ( I just mailed another one back for service today ).

 

The trick is getting people here though. I am playing around with getting the site indexed on the search engines now. Hopefully I will have luck with that.

i put a link on my site bahamassecurity.com so that should help some. Should help to get your link on more and more web sites also, other forums, etc.

Actually Terry Ainsworth from Kodicom Australia is already importing several items into the U.S. along with the Kodicom boards. He is doing quite well from what I've heard so you might want to look into doing something similar.

Yes but Terry operates of about 150% margin and the gear is not as good as what I already import!

I get about a year out of them then the picture starts to turn yellow then about a month after that it goes black.

Ok, ive seen them on sonys web site. i was considering using them at one time, ill stay clear for right now. Sounds like could have been a lens problem, or maybe power issue. Were you using the supplied power supply? Though that should have given out earlier than a year.

 

Ive had a couple cameras go on me also, but they went quick, didnt last more than a month. maybe the domes you had were just lemons ..?

 

I went to replace an ademco alarm control once, and the new one i replaced it for was bad, and the 2nd one i replaced it was didnt work either , both new out of the box. 3rd one worked

 

As for cameras, Kalatel's GBC ceiling wedge mount cameras, i had to send 2 back that had bad power boards from day one. Unfortunately it takes about 2 months here in the Bahamas to get any product back from being fixed by a manufacturer, so far with a few different brands. The distributor never simply replaces them unfortunately, and shipping and customs make it longer. Now i take the bad camera apart and try to fix it myself first, last 2 times wires were just loose inside, maybe from being hit or something. ..
