LJD Dome

[steve6690 0]

Got one cheap and stuck on the front of my garage to point at my car. It's a day/night with ir cut filter as listed here :

It seems ok but I'm suspicious because it was a real bargain and I'm tempted to have a half-dozen more. Has anyone had experience of these and are they any good ?

 

thanks

Hi Steve

 

They are not a bad camera for the money & sold by many U.K. suppliers.

 

LJD however have a reputation for bad returns policy and virtually no support.

Thanks for that baywatch. For the money I paid, I think I'll grab a couple more.

Hi i wouldnt bother to be honest ljd are a load of crap.

I use LJD most of the time for my low budget installs, The trade price for a 520TVL IR dome is so low you cant go wrong and hey if it goes wrong after a year just chuck it away and buy another (customer pays of course!

 

It has a great picture for the price

I have fitted 30+ and had 3 faulty out of the box, althought I have yet to send them back for credit, I will let you know.

 

I also use their Apollo DVR (8Cam 500GB) once again for the price it fits the budget market.

 

My prefered DVR is DM as it is so simple to use, but most Home owners are on a budget I always state to my customers that budget systems have limitations and usually give them 2 quotes so they can make the decision.

 

I guess in the real world we have to make scarifices to stay in buisness

Hi mate go on ill give you that it is a verry good picture. But i say stay away from the ljd speeddomes i had one of them a 240 volt and i powered it up and it gave me a bloody great wacking shock and spent a night in accident and emergeancy. But you mentioned the DM dvrs they are a brilliant unit as i have one myself the quallity is just astounding. Hope to here from you soon best regards Sam.

Sam, thanks for the advice.

 

I have seen cheap SpeedDomes from various suppliers and they have all been around £400 but I have been reluctant to specifiy them.

 

I haven't used SpeedDomes yet on jobs i have installed (I have only been working on my own for a year having worked at ADT for 15)

 

But the few larger jobs i have quoted I have either used AD Ultra 8's or Dennard 2060's (they now come with a 4 year warranty).

 

Does any body have a reliable cheap PTZ Dome they use ?

Hi yes i use the markmercer d150 they are a good ptz but are arround £1500 and they make a bit of noise as they use stepper moters also vcl orbiters i think they are really great and there quite expensive but alternatevly if you want to go really top quallity go to forward vision and try getting some refurbished mickeys my mate got a refurb for only £400 hope this helps regards Sam.

What part of the world are you?

 

The camera in the picture I buy from a supplier here in the UK, They are made in Korea. It is a 4-9mm varifocal 520TVL version.

 

I think the design is copied by a lot of Korean type manufactures just with different resolution / lens combo's

 

If you look on one of the Advert Banner's above they sell them.
