Q. my friend was telling me you can watch live cameras. i mean like in stores or something. where do i go? do i need to download something? plz give me a website that actually works.
Answer
Hello
Honey H that camera is extemely low quality: 420TVL (that chip was not designed to be used for night vision it will give very grainy images, and is low resolution)
The 24 IR LED;s will not give you 40FT of night vision closer to 20 and they dont have any controls for the IR so it will over exspose the first 10 feet and wont have enough light to see past 30 feet.
Please don't give advice when you have clearly never worked with CCTV equipment.
What you want is a DVR a DVR converts analog cameras and as well as storing images on site allows you to distribute video over LAN and WAN networks. (internet and network) this way you have both on site storage and recording at your house.
Here is a DVR that will work perfectly for you.

Just about any Analog DVR will do what you are looking for and not only display them but record them as well they will also allow you to view them over the internet from a Iphone or laptop.
Many people have a misconception that IP has Superior scalability then Analog but with the advancements with DVR's this simply isn't true, you cn do up to 16,000 cameras each camera could even be from a different DVR and a different site.
And when you are using the internet to connect multiple sites together analog transmits over the internet faster with less latency using less bandwidth allowing you not only to view and monitor a situation real time but also effective control PTZ cameras.
What is the Advantage of IP?
Many of the so called advantages of IP simply don't hold water in the real world, IP is mainly Hype and marketing and outside of a few niche applications such as 1 or 2 camera installs, where MP cameras are needed or large scale wireless projects which represent about 2% of the total CCTV market, IP has very few advantages compared to analog based on performance, cost and reliability. (yet all companies touting IP will often use MP cameras to demonstrate the advantages of IP)
IP video is more about marketing then it is about performance as larger companies like Bosch pelco Honeywell axis can change for both hardware and software and once you use there cameras you have to keep using there cameras unlike analog.
Also IP sounds great, plug and play, Better image quality, use existing infrastructure, who wouldnât want that unfortunately this is often not the case.
IP cameras are based on CMOS
Analog cameras are based on CCD (usually)
A CMOS sensor is constructed using a array of pixels, but unlike CCDâs CMOS do not have a capacitor to store the charge for each pixel.The rows of pixels are activated sequentially rather then individually
This means CMOS has some significant disadvantages compared to CCD, this means CMOS
have inferior ability to cope with ambient lighting such as back light, bright, deep shadows contrasts, low light and IR this is also known as the real word.
In short unless you have perfect lighting a good CCD camera will outperform an equivalent CMOS camera.
File Size:
The smaller the files size the more images that are able to be sent and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities as it also determines the recoding storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video.
IP cameras have up to a 5X larger file size then analog cameras. (at same resolution) I have seen MP cameras that on 2MP resolution are over 300X (%3000) larger then our X3 DVR on a CIF image. This is an extreme case but generally speaking IP cameras have a much larger file size.
Most routers and switches are not designed to handle IP cameras they have enough bandwidth but they are not able to process the amounts of commands. (9 IP cameras 30FP is 230 instructions per second) standard routers have enough bandwidth (up to 1GB) but cant handle the amount of tasks (instructions) so frames get dropped latency is introduced and the effectiveness of other devices such as POS, printers and dats storage can be affected and compromised.
Donât get me wrong there are some brutal analog cameras and DVR out there but If you see a good D1 resolution image such as Ascendents Hardware compressed you will not be so quick to join the IP bandwagon.
IP is a young and emerging technology and I have no doubt that in the future it will outperform analog cameras but its not a mature technology yet. Once we start to get standard IP platforms, get rid of license feesâ and existing networks have larger bandwidths then IP video will be a good solution, but until then analog is the way to go.
Make sure you get good cameras as well, Ascendent has the best IR outdoor cameras on the market and are about %50 less then Bosch while offering triple the distance.

Please suggest some LONG range wireless security cameras for neighborhood?
Kosh
We're looking into some wireless video survellience cameras for our subdivision.
What I'm looking for, ideally, is a receiver station which can recive the signals from multiple cameras so we can add on later (probably starting with 2-3 cameras maybe up to 4 or 6 later).
I see a lot of expensive cameras with a 100' and sometimes 1000' line-of-sight range but our needs are no less than 1000' obstructed. Ideally we'd like to get a functional 2000' range system.
We're on a very limited budget and don't need the fancy pan-and-tilt or zoom features; just a decent quality cam with a long range wireless capability.
We'll use a computer with video capture card to record the signal after the receiver. So any recommendations for DVR / capture cards and/or software is also appreciated. However the most urgent need for info is on the cameras.
Thanks for links or whatever.
We really don't have a specific budget right now. We're mostly trying to find the bottom line how much a wireless system of this nature would cost. Right now the limiting factor seems to be wireless range (which is very limited even on cameras I've seen cosing over $1000)
Intel, not sure what the 2 price ranges are you provided but I am looking at the links, trying to find the best solution.
Rachael, we're in Central Florida. Lots of rain/humidity but no snow.
As for range, I imagine we could work with 1000' as long as that was a solid 1000' through a neighborhood with trees and such (but over the tops of houses).
Note: We have cable and phone lines running through the entire area. Not sure if we could use these. Problem is we don't want to depend on continued cooperation from residents (people come and go).
Answer
What are we talking about in terms of budget?
Ill only provide you with links:
Your talking at least $1000. (and that's per quality cam not including the receiver)
2-3 Quality Cameras ($3,000+ including receiver)
4-6 Quality Cameras ($5,000+ including receiver)
2-3 Quality Cameras ($900+ including receiver)
4-6 Quality Cameras ($1,500+ including receiver)
Your talking at least $300+. (and that's per cam)
