Because the FCC only applies to the US, anyone else can feel free to copy but not required.

 

I am converting to the metric system... one inch at a time!

To cover a larger market, as in LCD monitors, use both NTSC and PAL, that way you can use the same equipment for the world market.

Well, I don't know if RickA has a nice butt... But I can say you basically have to choose if you will use NTSC or PAL, and that choice depends on the video standard in your country. ie, In the US it's all NTSC. You can get PAL cameras and a PAL DVR but you can't play them back on an NTSC tv or record it to a NTSC VCR. int he UK it's all PAL. The rest of the world is all one standard or the other.

 

Hardware that displays video can either use NTSC or PAL and it will either switch automatically by detecting the video signal, or you have to configure it maually in the menu, or it may be set by either a jumper or solder-blob on the main board.

 

Most folks just stick with the standard that you country uses. I'm in the US and all my stuff is NTSC. What country are you in?

I am from Holland (The Netherlands Amsterdam)

 

We have the pal system over here.

I have a bit trouble whit some burglaries (breaking in tho houses) and vandals breaking cars and so.

I am a bouncer at a nichtclub and have to deal whit some bad people sometimes here in Amsterdam.

So a cctv i can really use.

 

I have a cheaper DVR AVermedia.

My speeddome from ebay is is already broken by fireworks a new year.

(I was working in the club and some punk blow up the glass, the DVR was not there yet)

 

So i am looking for new cctv camera's and found out that a lot of the cheaper cctv camera's are pal and ntsc at the same time.

Welll... according to my wife I have a nice butt, but I don't think it's been posted on the net... at least not that I am aware of. Just be aware of what you are buying when you order your camera's, most DVR's and Monitor's that I am aware of are switchable between PAL and NTSC.

My English is not that good, so i make a funny mistakes sometimes

 

i whas thinking about this camera for outsite: eBay item: 300157118014

According to the spec's this camera has a 1/4" ccd Sharp chip, not my favorite, would be better with a 1/3" ccd and preferably a Sony chipset. Depends a lot on what you are looking for.

Perhaps the confusion results from the publishing of both NTSC and PAL specifications on some retail sites, especially Ebay.

 

I think it's a result of the seller just cut-and-pasting from the original manufacturer's specs with having a clue as to the technology. As we know, for cameras it's almost certainly got to be one or the other.

 

Not that's it relevant to the question, but I run an NTSC 4-ch DVR system at home in a PAL country since I bought all my cameras in the US where they are much cheaper than they are on these remote islands.

I think it is worth clarifying that a camera cannot be PAL and NTSC at the same time! The datasheet of the camera on ebay is for two models the PAL one and the NTSC one.

 

Some cameras can be switched between PAL and NTSC (Pixim!) but they are not PAL and NTSC at the same time.

Sounds about right, was wondering what they meant, I imagine the seller just has 2 versions of the camera.
