Q-SEE 8CH H.264 DVR W/500GB HD CIF true-time rec eight CCD color cam

Client Critiques
I purchased my 1st q-see DVR (digital video recorder) about 3 years ago perfect here on amazon.com. It was known as a "PENTAPLEX" which meant you could do five items at the very same time - record reside video from a number of channels, backup the tricky disk, view video remotely over the world wide web, view video locally on a Television set, and search by means of recordings to find out who took your recycle bin full of cans. Pentaplex and Triplex are names given as to how several activities the unit can do simultaneously.
That unit is nonetheless running soon after driving the neighborhood drug dealers out of their rent no cost abandoned dwelling (and getting them arrested countless occasions - it povided essential evidence of license plate numbers, video of drug offers going down, spousal abuse -- you name it the police division got it. For that matter the PD could log in more than the internet to check up on who was there if they wanted to)
I live on a 2 block long road full of modern day quiet 4500 sq ft houses, and across from me was a 60 year old 931 sq ft original property that had turn out to be the neighborhood drug hangout - a location to go smoke a bowl, ride your motorcycle by way of the front door of the residence and out the back, to hook up with the homies, and so on. It most certainly did not fit in - the crime rate rose - the property adjacent to the drug property was robbed five times in three months. Each me and my subsequent door neighbor installed MONITORED alarms and we formed our own neighborhood watch. His was a .357 and mine was a 9mm.
The Q-see was instrumental in getting rid of the trash. It supplied a lot of photographic enlargements of license plates, video evidence made use of in court to convict the individual squatting there, and extra 30 second drive by drug deals than I could count, happening each and every three-5 minutes right in front of my property.
I installed eight cameras covering every angle possible, two PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom - like the casino's use) domes that I could controll remotely more than the web to see what is going on if I was not dwelling, and motion detectors, microphones - all of this was OVERT meaning it was blatant that you were on camera if you came nearby - I had to place up a sign for the reason that legally I could not record voice without notifying the many people (video is OK) due to wiretapping laws that are outdated, so I put my sign on the 60 year old tree in front of my property warning many people they were below video and audio surveilance. In three months we had the dealers out, the rightful owners back, they had to demolish the residence due to the fact it was so badly damaged, and then they built a brand new 4500 sq ft household in keeping with the neighborhood.
About Q-see
Q-see brings the $12,000 DVR that the casinos use to catch card cheats down to the price a homeowner can afford. I recommend any property initial install a MONITORED alarm technique and make it BLATANT that a single is in location (significant bell box outside in a conspicuous place) - this will rid your self of 90% of the crime for the reason that criminals know exactly where to look for these and when they get them, they walk on to your neighbor's property to rob as an alternative. Soon after an alarm comes video evidence of WHO did WHAT and WHEN with PROOF. Q-see gives you this.
What do all the numbers mean? What is H.264?
When dealing with video (which is inherently analog) and you go to digitize it, you would normally discover yourself swamped in data, for the reason that video is 30 images per second, every single 740x480, complete color (or bW at night with IR vision cameras). Think about a 1.3 megapixel camera taking 30 pictures per second - your memory card would be complete in a couple minutes at the most.
The broadcast industry faced the very same difficulty when the FCC mandated that they "go digital" not too long ago - there was not enough area on a channel to put raw high definition television. So they did what we do on our PCs when we have a bunch of files - they compressed them. This approach is identified as coding and decoding and is abbreviated CODEC for those of us who dont like to sort alot. Many codecs exist - divx, h.264, h.263, mjpeg, and so on. H.264 nevertheless crams the finest quality image into the smallest amount of disk space. It's employed by the satellite providers to give you significantly more channels than they could with no it. Most effective of all, it's cost-free. No royalties to spend.
You're going to hear alot about frames per second. 1 video channel is 30 frames per second. That is for one particular camera. If you have eight cameras, then it 8 times 30 or 240 frames per second that your eight camera DVR should record (if you want smooth free of charge flowing video like you are accustomed to on Tv) - now you do not need absolutely free flowing video - you can cut from 30 to 15 frames per second and still get reasonably smooth video. The point is that any DVR has a limit as to how lots of FPS (Frames per Second) it can record. You get to choose which cameras get the perfect picture, and which ones only take 2 photos per second (as an example) if you do not have 240 frames per second.
The second quantity to throw at you is resolution. VGA is 640x480 and is about VHS high quality. HD is 1920x1080 and will blow your thoughts after becoming accustomed to VGA high quality video (blu ray is performed in HD as an instance) In the globe of surveilance video - the significantly more pixels you choose to record, the much less time you can record on a disk. So they invented QVGA - which stands for quarter vga - they divide a VGA screen into 1/4ths and you are left with 320x240. That's cell telephone size video - and when you see it blown up onto a large screen tv set it looks pretty negative. Yet another regular is CIF which is 352x288 pixels - far better than qvga, but not as fine as VGA (about VHS or the old video standard).
What I like about this product is you can configure how substantially top quality you assign from the product's ability to record to each and every camera. That way the cameras for locations exactly where men and women are standing (front door for instance) take 3 frames per second of CIF or VGA top quality video. The cameras that cover high speeed motion - the street with automobiles zooming by or the sidewalk with bicycles, they can record at 30 frames per second for smooth video. Once again - for eight channels you will need 240 frames per second to record all eight channels at full framerate (30 FPS).
The really good news!
The 408 from q-see supports 240 frames per second, so each camera can have complete motion video. Cameras 1 and 2 are specific although, as they are sampled at a greater resolution known as D1 or 702x408 pixels (sure beats CIF) while cameras three-8 are recorded at CIF resolution. I've been getting by on JUST CIF for 3 years, so this is a step up!
Can I Install it? Is it legal?
I am not an lawyer, so this is not legal assistance, but from what I found on the net, you can record video of your property with out giving notice. However, this product can also record audio. To do that you must put up a sign in a conspicuous spot that tells passers by that video and audio surveilance is in use - then you are compliant with all the laws.
Can you install it - possibly if you can wire an 8 track player into your 1977 buick. Here's what you need to have to know.
1 - every little thing you will desire is on amazon.
two - I've reviewed most of it so read my critiques
3 - my e mail is in my profile so if you get stuck email me
4 - every camera requirements two points - a video connection and 12 volts to run the camera. x 8 cameras and you will want a 12 volt power panel like the a single I reveiwed right here: Q-See QS1018 12 Volt 12 AMP Power Distribution Panel Connects 18 Cameras
five - really should you decide to record audio, you will desire 1 - a microphone for every single channel (8 of them) two - a mic to line level amplifier (about $20) three - some microphone cable. This gets into recording gear - the sennheiser C2 is a beneficial deal due to the fact you get 2 mics in a set, four sets would get you eight mics, and they are particularly sensitive - able to hear a whisper at 100 feet. But they desire preamps. ART Tube MP Microphone Preamp Here's just a single example - it will only handle a single microphone, and expenses extra than the mic, so you may possibly look about for eight channel preamps beause the microphone demands 48V to run itself, and it offers you a pretty low level output on a XLR connector (3pin pro stuff) - and you need to amplify that .007 volt signal to about .700 volts (100x or 20dB for those who speak dB) to run the line level inputs of the 408. Of course you could opt to just have 2 microphones.
6 - what is this I hear about night vision - it it that expensive military stuff? No. How night vision functions is when the sun goes down a sensor tells the camera to turn on a entire bunch of IR LEDs (infrared light emitting diodes) - these look to have a dull red glow to you, but 36 of them shining into your front yard is like a 1000W light turned on. Most effective portion is the subject walking via can not tell - the infrared spectrum is beyond what us humans can see - so it nevertheless looks dark, except on your camera, exactly where while its black and white, it is completely detailed with facial recognition possible.
7 - How about motion detection - can these replace those alarm motion sensors. The answer is: it depends. Inside, I'd say yes, but outside, I'd say no. The cause is that IR is not visable to HUMANS, but BUGS really like the stuff, primarily spiders who spin webs over your camera lenses where it is nice and bright at night. And that spider will trigger any motion detector - even if you kill off all the spiders, the number of flying insects that appreciate IR light is stunning. Just about every night I capture about 50-80 bugs flying via a motion capture zone.
8 - what is a motion capture zone? Your camera brings back a huge location - as significantly as the lens lets it see - but you may perhaps not want to capture the entire region, just a sub portion of... Read more›
The Q-See QS408-5 8 Channel H.264 Sensible Recording DVR with Pre-Installed 500GB is a very good acquire. The only disappointment so far is that when the display is in the eight panel mode (showing all eight camera views), it doesn't go to complete screen when a camera detects motion. I have not set up the Online access but, but it looks like a related setup for the SVAT dvr that i just sent back for repairs.
I've submitted an inquiry to Q-See about the full screen mode and I'm hoping I will be in a position to come back here and correct my criticism.
