CCTVDude 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Just wondering what type of extreem jobs you guys have done. One of the coolest we did is this one. We put a PTZ on solar out in the middle of nowhere. Wireless video back to the DVR in the construction trailer like 1 mile away. Have a PTZ keyboard & LCD in a box at the base for manual aiming by the job site foreman. And of course the DVR is online with a T1 for the project manager in NY to play with the PTZ. Also when we did this, the crane installing the cement pole sunk in the everglades swamp and had to be rescued by a helicopter (sorry I don't have pics of that). Anyone top this?

securitymonster 0 Posted January 25, 2006 I have alot of college kids in town that purchase my hidden VCR cameras, you can use your imagination as to what they are using it for.......anybody wanna host the video? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas 0 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Can I count a couple of them that our resellers did? A retail chain that currently has 60 locations with 30 cameras each set up with a VPN to the home office that lets the LP people watch all 1800 cameras at will, control the PTZ's, review video, etc. The LP guys were crazy for it because it saves them a ton of drive time.

Jasper 0 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Oh yeah. That one has been topped many times. Looks good though. I think it might have been WirelessEye that had some photos awhile back of some InfraRed wirelees giear out in the middle of only god knows where and maybe the military. Another one was a Government install, no photos of course, but that is to be expected. Several others as well posted throughout the forum.

Securitymaster 0 Posted January 25, 2006 S, which one in the pics are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jisaac 0 Posted January 25, 2006 I wish that I could talk about a few installs we did but because the Agency we did them for I cant. It probably would be able to top yours. Its kind of like winning the lottery and not being able to spend a dime of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WirelessEye 0 Posted January 25, 2006 I think I could top that installation, since all of our installations are like that-- except increase the wireless range by 10-20 times. We are working something right now that is REALLY cool. I'll keep you updated after the install and try to post some pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WirelessEye 0 Posted January 26, 2006 It's been VERY foggy here for the past couple months, no new/good pictures to show. Here's a short clip of a wireless/solar powered/thermal unit we have on a 10+ mile link. It shows an individual walking and a semi driving in the background. Both the truck and the person were 1/3 mile away from the camera in complete darkness. http://www.wireless-eye.com/Micham_Thermal.html (excuse the quality, something was lost in the avi-to-flash conversion) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't trying to say we're the best around or anything. Just wondering what other cool jobs other people did... We are about to do another for the same people but with wireless telemitry for the ptz... fun stuff!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted January 26, 2006 yeah that was actually an alarm i redid for someone, was a 3 store 2 building job I put in an Ademco Vista 50, 3 Partitions, expanders, motions, contacts, smokes, sirens, strobes, etc, and also a GE DVR with 15 cams on a mix of Coax and Cat5 in each store. I got those images somewhere, but ill leave it for now, was rather small compared to some other jobs ive done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WirelessEye 0 Posted January 26, 2006 LOL Rory, you have all that working off THAT power supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 26, 2006 nah .... that got replaced quickly ... thats typical of the alarm work down here though .. (none of mine of course) It was some weird named Alarm panel I cant remember, was installed & monitored by a different local CMS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jisaac 0 Posted January 30, 2006 I thought of one I could mention but cant get to detailed. But just to make sure i am not saying to much publicly, if you pm me and if you are not new to the forum I will tell you then the location of this job. ok more than 10 Pelco es30pc series positioning systems covering a several mile stretch that was sent back to a room. in the control room there was 4 42"plamsas. 2 to your left and 2 to your right. and in front of you was a 100" projection screen with a hd projector projecting the video on to the 100' screen. now these cameras were all about 140 feet in the air. So when you picked a camera to position you pulled up the camera shot on all of the monitors (5 total). So you were surrounded by your cameras view. And you could zoom and pan and play with these cameras like you were actually moving yourself. It was like a expensive virtual reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jisaac 0 Posted January 31, 2006 I had a 1 in 6 out video distribution hub. I prefer the ones that you can manaully adjust certain parts of the picture. I would definitly get a powered hub. Especially if you are getting a good plasma. You would tell a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jisaac 0 Posted January 31, 2006 oh ya and the plasma's were panasonics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griffonsystems 0 Posted January 31, 2006 can you recommend a mfg of the powered hub? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jisaac 0 Posted January 31, 2006 if you give me until the later part in the day I will look and see what we used. Off hand i have no clue what we used Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
