Without question, buy it. At $150 that is a great price.

It's all good, if you change your mind lmk. Are you going to make the E36 a track car?

Ttt.....

Awesome E92 and E36. Are you going to track the E36? Good luck registering an R34 in the US since that stuff went down. I am in NJ and actually have a shed that I am selling. 12x18 and like new Amish built.....Check my threads for info and PM me if interested.

I buy lots of hardware from them. The prices are good, not like over priced Grainger stuff. I have found Fastenal to be hit or miss and they don't stock so many sizes of hardware. I am lucky, I live 10 minutes from their Robbinsville, NJ warehouse so I don't have to worry about shipping. For...

If it is automotive work than yes, it would be beneficial to have those functions. I would have to say Fluke all the way. One thing to consider is the speed of the meter. When troubleshooting it is necessary to have a fast meter or you might miss what you are trying to see. I use a fluke T10...

No, but that would basically be building your own higher quality. Most of the commercial DVR run on Linux. A lot of those features can be found on most current DVRs. I think you need to figure out what features you need or will use.

Yes, basically it is using 2 conductors for power. The Cat5 is 24ga and Cat6 is 23ga which are very small gauges. Each camera has it's own voltage and amperage requirements so the distance will be dependent on the camera'a requirements. I am just surprised it works over 1k feet.

I hear you man. The 328 feet is what the standard but it is meant for full 10/100. Obviously you don't need full gigabyte bandwidth for one camera, but some places are requiring us to certify each cable. POE works great but I am surprised the voltage drop over that distance wouldn't be a factor...

We were really talking about the color factor, I have seen plenty of decent night views but the color is never great due to the fact there isn't enough light. I would like to see a screen shot of one of these views if possible?

TVL are your horizontal lines of resolution. More TVL better resolution. 40 feet high you can view a very large area. To see anything with detail you would need a camera with a different lens(analog) or a high TVL digital camera. With newer HD cameras the viewing field is a complete 90 degrees...

It is night time, you will NEVER be able to view it like a daytime camera, there just isn't enough light. I don't care if you buy the baddest Avigilon or other high end camera and illuminators everywhere, you just won't see the color as you would during the daytime. Like you said cameras closer...

It isn't behind. It is these cheap cameras. To do it properly you would need IR illuminators and better cameras......but those cameras are a bit more expensive. Wide dynamic and low LUX cameras are the way to go but for $1k you will buy a couple of fixed cameras, it would be a few $$$$ to build...

Are you talking about a cable run or trying to view something at that distance?

TTT...PMs replied!

You'll have a lot of fun then.....LOL You are going to have to make your own penetrations. Just use your head when drilling. Mounting them is simple, in most places simple plastic anchors will work fine. Usually you only use lag shields or something of that nature when dealing with larger PTZs...

I would suggest to stay hard wired, I have had issues with some wireless stuff and the wireless is much more expensive. That is the PIA about a camera installation. Anyone can mount a camera, the hardest part is running the cables. Keep them on the perimeter of the house, mount them on the eves...

Although they are good deals I would suggest to stay with a brand name as these devices do break from time to time. I have friends that use a lot of no name DVRs and cameras and they gave it up, the customer support was just to bad.

The way a DVR works is it records and when the storage (Hard drive) is full it starts to record over the previous information. This is what is really important, you need to build your system with your requirements around a few things. The size of DVR you should use will depend on how you answer...
