The only issue is running the cables. I am going to call Panasonic tomorrow about their special DC power supply cable. I really need to get an extension cable so I can mount the camera more than 32' from a power source. I am very happy with the image quality (especially after seeing the image...
I spent the weekend experimenting with a Panasonic pan/tilt/zoom network camera and a fixed day/night (infrared) camera with DVR card. What an experience!
Hardware - fixed Sony 1/3" CCD infrared camera (23 LEDs) from CCTVSpeciality.com (product SPE-218) and the GeoVision GC-650 DVR card with...
It gets very confusing - the Slingbox from Sling Media and the Squeezebox from Slim Devices. I guess the Slingbox is for viewing TV. So I want to look at the Squeezebox for audio. I am going to download to software to see the interface.
I want to replace an old Toshiba laptop currently in the kitchen that is used to access audio CD collected stored in Windows Media Player on a PC in the family room. I have a wired gigabit LAN but no wire going to the kitchen (would be difficult to run a wire). I have a D-Link Air-Plus XtremeG...
I will be running Cat6 Ethernet cable to my Panasonic BB-HCM331A network camera. How do you weatherproof Cat6 cable? Is there some covering you can put the cable in? I will need to run Cat6 cable and the DC power cable to the camera.
The GeoVision DVR (GV-650-4) card comes with the new Version 8. I should get the camera and DVR card tomorrow. I will set up both cameras (Panasonic and infrared) outside this weekend under the same conditions to get an image comparison.
I ordered the Panasonic BB-HCM331A network camera from newegg.com yesterday morning. UPS delevered the camera today at 5:05 PM. MollyCam (Molly is my miniature schnauzer) operational at 5:15 PM. Priceless!
Opened the box. Took out the camera. I did not mount the camera. Just wanted to test it...
Some Toshiba specs
14 °F to 104 °F (-10 °C to 40 °C)
Optional Accessories Netcam Outdoor Housing
The Toshiba seems to be an indoor camera and without the optional outdoor housing would not work for me. I am in an area where the temperature does often go below 14F in the winter. The...
If you have a less expensive alternative with similar specs from a reputable US distributor I would certainly like to know about it. I did considerable research and did not find an outdoor low-light CCD IP network pan/tilt/zoom camera with a better price than the Panasonic from newegg.com at...
Just ordered the following outdoor low-light Sony 1/3" CCD 23 LED 3.6mm wide angle lens infrared fixed (no pan/tilt/zoom) camera.
Infrared camera
$139.99 - $7 discount + free ship = $132.99
I decided not to go with the GeoVision DVR card GV-800-4 ($379) for now. I will get a Swann or some other...
I just ordered (Monday 7/10) the Panasonic BB-HCM331A camera from newegg.com at a price of $559.99 + $4.99 3-day ship = $564.98 total. SmartHome has it for special $719.99 (normally $799.99)+ ship?
I am amazed at the price differential. I have purchased products from SmartHome and they send me...
Just ordered 2 units = 39.94 + 6.55 Priority Mail ship = 46.49 total. Cheapest total price anywhere - even cheaper than listings on eBay. Some listings on eBay had a shipping and handling charge in excess of the price of the item.
It is not an IP camera. I will be going with the GeoVision 4-channel 30fps per channel DVR card GV-800-4 (not cheap $379 less 5% intro discount) and will be setting up an Intel P4 2.8GHz PC as a camera server since I hope to have 4 outside cameras.
Does anyone make a power cable with the DC plug already installed? I do not like the idea of splicing the wire near the camera but I guess that may be the only way. How long is the power cord?
I plan to order the Panasonic BB-HCM331A camera and need to know how it comes with regard to wiring. I plan to purchase bulk 18 AWG cable for the power (not planning to try PoE) and need to know what power connectors are or are not included. I assume it has a standard RJ45 Ethernet connect and...
