k_jensen 0 Posted December 21, 2005 Hello there, Anyone with experience from VEO ip cameras - good or bad. Are they only DIY, or could they be used in small CCTV installations? Regards Jensen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msecure 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Strictly for DIY! Frame rate is slow & Lux is bad. The only good thing is the PanTilt function. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nextan 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Main problem is the MJPEG compression which needs high streaming bandwidth and huge recording storage space, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k_jensen 0 Posted January 2, 2006 what if it is in a shop with normal lighting conditions and a dedicated video network? Any drawbacks besides low lux and framerate? Regards Jensen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nextan 0 Posted January 2, 2006 guess it will be fine, but for a little bit more, you can get the Dlink DCS-5300 which comes with MPEG4 compression and 270 degrees pan. the MPEG4 compression will save you quite a bit on hard disk strorage and this should compensate the initial higher cost. as a guide, MJPEG compression needs 5 times more bandwidth and hard disk storage, compared to MPEG4 system. what if it is in a shop with normal lighting conditions and a dedicated video network?

I have never tried the D-Link, but what I have read and heard, it does not get the best recommendations. Regards Jensen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nextan 0 Posted January 3, 2006 like the Veo Observer, the Dlink DCS-5300G is also not a serious IP surveillance system., both are good for home or maybe small office usage, that's why you don't get much recommendation for them. So over here I am just putting the Veo and the Dlink side by side, in this case, Dlink is definitely a better system than Veo, for the fact that it is employing MpEG4 Short Header, or H263 compression system, comparing to the rather outdated MJPEG system used by VEO.
