DIY Burglar Alarm and Video Security

Did you choose a DVR yet?

No wonder he smelled so good... It's the "jalapeno jack-cheese and onions"... :-))

I guess you are talking to me? This thread is out of hand! :-) I found a Geovision package that might be ok. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I don't have anything bad to say about Geovision except that they are the competition, no tech support, and a bit pricy. Sharpvision will do everything you want and more at a better price including hooking up your alarm relays. Motion detection,two way audio, everything.

Oh, I see a link on that page to the &%&^ that sold me the Pico 2000 piece of ^&^&^. Talk about no support!!!!!!

What, no car washes in California? What's up with that?

You are right the Pico is a piece of sh*t. Which link is it so I can take it down? Most of those links are resellers, we are the dealers/ manufacturer of Sharpvision only. No pico crap here.

They don't sell Evian in bottles big enough... ;-))

Frank,

Somehow I missed your thread a few days back, thanks for the wealth of information! I don't know how I missed this one.

As for the security cameras, I know that what I have now is not ideal. The remote client talks to the server with TCP/IP over port 1999. Since we work at a company where the proxy server blocks all traffic except for http, I cannot view our cameras from work. So I guess whatever he buys will need to have a built-in webserver? I think he will want to go with a PC based system, so what would you recommend there? As far as image "processing", I don't quite know what you mean. My system just records on motion detect, in a circular fashion, and if I want to go back and look at something, I merely view the .avi files in Windows Media Player. I can snapshot to .jpg files if I want to.

Thanks!
