CCTV Power supplies

ess than 150 feet. I usually need at least one amp per "channel"  for eit her 8 or 16 cameras. I know in the past I was able to get them for under a $100 dollars but lately everything I see is over that.

that come on when motion is detected? Is it just a gimmick ... or what? Ho w much light could it throw? And wouldn't it switch back to color?

big difference in price over analog. Especially if you throw in the price o f NVR and the fact that I haven't seen an 8 channel NVR/HD-DVR that's reson ably priced and NO 16 channel. I mean .... I see the nice clear picture ... . it's just that the end user wont go the extra amount to get that clarity. It just hasn't reached that price point that the customer will go the extr a bucks .... at least for me .... anyway.

I use mostly DC cameras and have not had any issues out to several hundred feet. I tried the 24VAC:12VDC converters and they all failed in less than a year. I used to use all 24VAC and I still use them for longer runs, but...

The only real advantage to the IP cameras is with the really high resolution ones. 3MP+ You can actually do near TV-show type tricks with them. Zoom in on a view of multiple gas pump islands and actually read a license plate. That sort of thing. With regular CCTV you needed overview cameras and license plate cameras to do the same job.

And customers never want to pay for what they want.

I've looked at them in the past. Their prices are just about the same as I get thru distribution.

Right now I'm looking for an 8 camera, 1 Amp per camera 24VAC power supply for under $100.00. In the past I've been able to get them for as low as $68.00. But I dont see anything lower than about $100.00 now.

You mean you can't give them a camera that will see a license plate of a ca r in a parking lot full of over 100 cars, in the reflection of someones mir rored sunglasses, 150 feet away, at night .... for under $200.00??? Jee eeze.

Nope, for those customers I suggest they talk to and get the personal attention they need from the salesman at Warehouse-Mart who still believes that specs on the box of those $49.95 camera is understating what they can really do. Oh, wait. They don't have any salesmen. Too late. The "customer" already left. Oh, well. Maybe I'll remember next time.

Hi,

Supercircuits isn't really a distributor. They are more like a glorified retailer. Also, Security Cameras Direct is also another company that does the same. The sales flyers from both of those companies are alike which indicates that they are co-owned; they pretend to be in competition with one another.

If you like the price of $43.00 for a 24Vac, 9ch, 10amp, I remembered a flyer/email from late fall last year that had those specs on it. The part number is CP2409 from Eastern CCTV in NY. The regular price is $57. Depending on where you are located, I believe they also have an outlet in California. We don't actually buy from them. Hope this helps you. You will need to open a formal account first with them.

Yeah, I know that about SCD and SC .... I look through their catalogs as a hobby ... I guess. But somethimes that have some good stuff. I bought a wri st cam from them a few years ago that was on sale for some ridiculous low p rice. I don't remember how much but it was about $50/60 bucks. Still works but I don't see any way to change the rechargeable battery .. so we'll see if it's just a throw-away when the time comes.

I'll take a look at Eastern. Thanks for the referral.
