Q-SEE 8CH H.264 DVR W/500GB HD CIF real-time rec 8 CCD color cam
Customer Evaluations
I bought my first q-see DVR (digital video recorder) about three years ago correct right here on amazon.com. It was recognized as a "PENTAPLEX" which meant you could do 5 points at the identical time - record reside video from various channels, backup the tough disk, view video remotely more than the online, view video locally on a Tv set, and search by means of recordings to locate out who took your recycle bin full of cans. Pentaplex and Triplex are names offered as to how a number of activities the unit can do simultaneously.
That unit is nevertheless running right after driving the neighborhood drug dealers out of their rent zero cost abandoned property (and having them arrested quite a few instances - it povided important evidence of license plate numbers, video of drug offers going down, spousal abuse -- you name it the police department got it. For that matter the PD could log in more than the world wide web to check up on who was there if they wanted to)
I reside on a 2 block extended road full of modern day quiet 4500 sq ft houses, and across from me was a 60 year old 931 sq ft original home that had grow to be the neighborhood drug hangout - a spot to go smoke a bowl, ride your motorcycle via the front door of the house and out the back, to hook up with the homies, and so on. It surely did not fit in - the crime rate rose - the house adjacent to the drug house was robbed 5 times in 3 months. Each me and my next 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 receiving rid of the trash. It provided a lot of photographic enlargements of license plates, video evidence utilised in court to convict the individual squatting there, and much more 30 second drive by drug deals than I could count, happening every 3-five minutes correct in front of my house.
I installed 8 cameras covering each angle conceivable, 2 PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom - like the casino's use) domes that I could controll remotely over the world wide web to see what is going on if I was not residence, 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 put up a sign since legally I could not record voice without having notifying the men and women (video is OK) due to wiretapping laws that are outdated, so I put my sign on the 60 year old tree in front of my house warning consumers they were below video and audio surveilance. In three months we had the dealers out, the rightful owners back, they had to demolish the home for the reason that it was so badly damaged, and then they built a brand new 4500 sq ft residence 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 tag a homeowner can afford. I advocate any home initially install a MONITORED alarm method and make it BLATANT that 1 is in place (massive bell box outside in a conspicuous location) - this will rid yourself of 90% of the crime due to the fact criminals know exactly where to appear for these and when they find them, they walk on to your neighbor's home to rob instead. Following an alarm comes video evidence of WHO did WHAT and WHEN with PROOF. Q-see offers 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 commonly acquire oneself swamped in data, considering that video is 30 pictures per second, each and every 740x480, complete color (or bW at night with IR vision cameras). Picture a 1.three megapixel camera taking 30 photographs per second - your memory card would be complete in a couple minutes at the most.
The broadcast market faced the identical dilemma when the FCC mandated that they "go digital" lately - there was not sufficient room 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 process is known as coding and decoding and is abbreviated CODEC for those of us who dont like to type alot. A lot of codecs exist - divx, h.264, h.263, mjpeg, and so on. H.264 however crams the very best excellent picture into the smallest quantity of disk space. It really is employed by the satellite providers to give you far more channels than they could without it. Best of all, it really is absolutely free. No royalties to spend.
You are going to hear alot about frames per second. 1 video channel is 30 frames per second. That's for one camera. If you have 8 cameras, then it 8 instances 30 or 240 frames per second that your 8 camera DVR should record (if you want smooth absolutely free flowing video like you are accustomed to on Tv) - now you don't need to have no cost flowing video - you can cut from 30 to 15 frames per second and nonetheless get reasonably smooth video. The point is that any DVR has a limit as to how a number of FPS (Frames per Second) it can record. You get to determine which cameras get the top picture, and which ones only take two pictures per second (as an example) if you do not have 240 frames per second.
The second number to throw at you is resolution. VGA is 640x480 and is about VHS excellent. HD is 1920x1080 and will blow your thoughts immediately after being accustomed to VGA high quality video (blu ray is completed in HD as an example) In the planet of surveilance video - the extra pixels you choose to record, the 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 is cell telephone size video - and when you see it blown up onto a massive screen television set it looks quite bad. Another standard is CIF which is 352x288 pixels - much better than qvga, but not as decent as VGA (about VHS or the old video regular).
What I like about this item is you can configure how substantially quality you assign from the product's capability to record to each and every camera. That way the cameras for areas where people are standing (front door for instance) take 3 frames per second of CIF or VGA excellent 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. Again - for 8 channels you require 240 frames per second to record all 8 channels at full framerate (30 FPS).
The excellent news!
The 408 from q-see supports 240 frames per second, so every camera can have complete motion video. Cameras 1 and two are special though, as they are sampled at a higher resolution called D1 or 702x408 pixels (positive beats CIF) though cameras three-8 are recorded at CIF resolution. I've been receiving by on JUST CIF for three years, so this is a step up!
Can I Install it? Is it legal?
I am not an lawyer, so this is not legal suggestions, but from what I found on the net, you can record video of your house without having giving notice. Yet, this item can also record audio. To do that you ought to put up a sign in a conspicuous place that tells passers by that video and audio surveilance is in use - then you are compliant with all the laws.
Can you install it - quite possibly if you can wire an 8 track player into your 1977 buick. Here's what you will need to know.
1 - everything you will will need is on amazon.
2 - I've reviewed most of it so read my evaluations
3 - my e mail is in my profile so if you get stuck e mail me
four - every single camera demands 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 one particular I reveiwed right here: Q-See QS1018 12 Volt 12 AMP Power Distribution Panel Connects 18 Cameras
five - should certainly you make a decision to record audio, you will will need 1 - a microphone for every 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 excellent deal due to the fact you get 2 mics in a set, 4 sets would get you 8 mics, and they are extremely sensitive - able to hear a whisper at 100 feet. But they want preamps. ART Tube MP Microphone Preamp Here's just 1 instance - it will only deal with one microphone, and costs way more than the mic, so you may well appear about for 8 channel preamps beause the microphone desires 48V to run itself, and it offers you a particularly low level output on a XLR connector (3pin pro stuff) - and you have to have 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's this I hear about night vision - it it that highly-priced military stuff? No. How night vision operates 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 appear to have a dull red glow to you, but 36 of them shining into your front yard is like a 1000W light turned on. Greatest element is the topic walking by means of can not tell - the infrared spectrum is beyond what us humans can see - so it nevertheless looks dark, except on your camera, 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 purpose is that IR is not visable to HUMANS, but BUGS love the stuff, especially spiders who spin webs more than your camera lenses exactly where it's nice and bright at night. And that spider will trigger any motion detector - even if you kill off all the spiders, the quantity of flying insects that appreciate IR light is astounding. Each night I capture about 50-80 bugs flying by means of a motion capture zone.
8 - what is a motion capture zone? Your camera brings back a big area - as substantially as the lens lets it see - but you could possibly not want to capture the complete region, just a sub part of... Read more›
The Q-See QS408-five 8 Channel H.264 Intelligent Recording DVR with Pre-Installed 500GB is a beneficial invest in. The only disappointment so far is that when the display is in the 8 panel mode (showing all 8 camera views), it does not go to full 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 complete screen mode and I'm hoping I will be able to come back right here and appropriate my criticism.
