dble 0 Posted May 11, 2004 Has anyone had any experience with Video transmitters that you can dial into and control over a regular phone line? I'm looking for something like that where I can dial in from a PC and see video and send PTZ commands. Any suggestions? How well do they work? Thanks! dble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 11, 2004 hi ive used the Kalatel RSM-1600. It is a phone line transmitter. 3 video inputs, with an expansion module to 10 (I think it is 4 now with expansion to 12 in the newer version). You can use one on either end, just using a TV at both locations, can have 2 way audio and video (no PTZ). For PTZ, you use one at the location, and a PC at the other, you can listen to audio and view video. Cannot remember off hand if it supports PTZ, but may. It is one of the most well known, been around for years. Another is OZline, not sure how well that one is, but here is the link:(http://www.ozvision.com/final/index_home_2003.htm .) Video quality is something like what you would have seen TV News using during the latest Iraq war. Video is much slower and not as good quality as over a Network, but streaming audio and video with no internet charge, its ok. I still advertise it, but try not to sell it, I push the Network DVRs over that, though some clients still want it. I have 2 clients with both, incase the internet is down, which is very common over here (i know, you wouldnt have guessed with the amount of total posts I have!! ) RSM1600: PC Software: http://www.geindustrial.com/cwc/products/ge-interlogix?pnlid=9&famid=63&catid=1089&id=RSM-PC2&lang=en_US RSM FAQs http://www.geindustrial.com/ge-interlogix/support/technical/faq/rsm.html Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVCONSULTING 0 Posted May 11, 2004 All Telexper DVRs are optimized for dialup video and ptz control, but remember that any ptz is going to be severly limited by the transmission speed of the modem and will lag behind your command. No way to track a person or car. www.telexper.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dble 0 Posted May 11, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I'm looking at a scenario where a camera may have to be moved around alot inside a non-networked, off-site building. Live video and control will still be needed and I'm looking at the most cost effective way to do it. We may have to focus on a wireless solution but it'll add complexity to it. dble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
