Their website has a typo. This is the camera I got: http://www.intellicamusa.com/G4-S18-DN420.htm And the cable... I bought it from the same place. I phoned in the order and asked for a 50ft cable. It was $19.

Quick question related to the $65 camera... I ordered the camera from DirectSales Inc.(They were out of the $65 one, so I upgraded to the G4SH18DN420, which is the same cam, but with a Sony CCD instead of Sharp) I also ordered a 50 ft cable. I think there may be something wrong with the cable...

Video Card = onboard(integrated) Intel Graphics Media Accel. 900 Chipset = Intel 915G Processor = Intel P4 - 3.2Ghz I know the Kodicom software requires the ATI vid card, but I was hoping to use BtWindCap drivers and ActiveWebcam instead... (If I can't get it to work though, I may just have to...

I purchased a 8Ch 240 fps DVR card off eBay last week. I'm having nothing but problems getting it to work. I was hoping someone here might be offer some suggestions on what to try next. Here's a picture of the card: Initially, I had planned on using the BtWinCap drivers and ActiveWebcam...

Here's what I'm not clear on. Please look at the following pic: My house was prewired and this is what I have at each window. There is no slack, so I really can't pull any more wire out, but I can't push the wires back into the wall either. From what I think I'm understanding, the way to...

Sorry for the very basic questions, but I really want to make sure I get this right the first time. I'm installing surface mount contacts on the windows.(My house was pre-wired) I'm not real sure of the best way to do this and would appreciate some advice. Here's the window I'm working with...

Thanks to both of you for excellent explanations. I believe I'm finally beginning to understand... :D Am I right then in thinking a resisitor should be placed in each loop? Now, exactly how should it be wired? I don't imagine it's wired with one leg to each wire of the contact right? It guess...

Sorry to bump this up from a few months ago, but I figured it'd be better to do that than to start a whole new thread. I'm installing an M1G and do not understand this resistor business. I watched the video, where resistors were placed in the panel, then I read here that is not what is supposed...

This is something I've been wondering about. It seems it would make more sense to use the outside sensor mount and not worry about having to drill through windows. Not stationary. It slides up and down. Odd, but none of these were pre-wired. The builder has a local alarm guy install the wiring...

(Posting here also 'cause I need a quick answer... Thanks.) I'm having a house built and they pre-wire the windows and doors for an alarm system. Well, I've got a couple of questions. I have two sets of windows that look like this: Here's a close-up of how the window was wired: All the...

:o (I'm confused) I am planning to run CAT5 for networking to that box. Are you saying this shouldn't be done in this instance or it's ok as long as I stay away from parallel runs?

I'm most concerned with CAT5e, as that's what I'll be running to that spot. I just wanted to make sure that the "keep 18inches away from electrical" warnings referred to parallel runs and not necessarily placement of the wallboxes. Thanks, -Gabriel

Please view the following picture and give me your opinion. http://www.warezdev.com/house/wiring1.jpg Can a wallbox for low-voltage wiring be in the same cavity as an electrical box if the low-voltage wiring run isn't parallel to the electrical wiring? Thanks, -Gabriel

I've been considering running wiring to each interior door. With the house being under construction though, the interior door frames don't get finished until after the drywall is done. I'm just not sure how to leave the wire so that whoever is installing the doorframes will know that he's...

Another thing I'm wondering about... The installer usually runs all the wiring to the Master Bedroom closet and installs an alarm control panel there. I will be setting up a wiring closet about 35 feet away and would like to put the panel there, however, it's kind of a small closet and might be...
