    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...

    SoundBridge R1000 vs. Slingbox vs. ?

    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.

    SoundBridge R1000 vs. Slingbox vs. ?

    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...

    Weatherproof Cat6 Ethernet cable?

    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.

    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...

    How do IP cameras work as to IP address?

    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...

    Cheap IP Cameras..

    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.

    Panasonic BB-HCM331A Camera wiring

    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 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...
