datadiffusion Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi all, As you might have noticed I don't pretend to know about stuff I don't properly know about, hence the lack of Fire and CCTV offerings. But that doesn't stop me playing about at home - I'm running a Synology server which also has Surveillance Station, and seems to work fine with an old internal network camera I've got. So I was thinking about having a camera at the far end of the garden, an external IP dome, to watch the new office and the approach to it. Just put the wires in now with the foundations for the new bit. I found a potential bargain on fleebay - not the usual no-name tat, in fact seemingly dumped on the clearance market G4S backed tat - but its NTSC... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Dome-IP-Camera-EN-7350-N-/221193868244 http://www.g4stechnology.com/uploads/G4S/Datasheets/G4S_IPCamera_NOV10.pdf I'm thinking, how/why can it be NTSC if its IP... OK, it must have an analogue to IP encoder which means you have to choose a standard at some point, I just don't remember seeing ANY reference to PAL or NTSC in Surv. St. Would it be the end of the world it it was NTSC?? Update: Found the full datasheet http://eu.amag.com/uploads/AmagIntl/Datasheets/AMAGINTL/AMAGINTL_H.264_EN7530_FEB12.pdf Am I right in thinking the NTSC bit really is of interest ONLY to someone using the optional analogue video out terminal and irrellevent to IP as I thought? So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It might only be a problem if you want to focus it locally with a PAL mini monitor The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thats what I thought - the only reason they make NTSC / PAL versions is because of that additional analogue output, right?

james.wilson Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It will have an encoder and be taking an analogue feed from that camera. You will get interlace issues with it. Go for a progressive scan proper ip camera over an encoder based one securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

datadiffusion Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 TBH a 2nd camera is a 'nice to have' not a 'must have' for me; any budget recommendations?

fozzies Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 To clarify, ip is a protocol, as in a method for devices to talk. Ip cares not if its ntsc or pal, it still talks effectively at its level. So yes, it can matter if the device using ip to chat is speaking american or english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that 'pure' IP cameras are still NTSC or PAL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzies Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Nope, i have no idea on that. Just that ip encapsulates data, any data, in order to deliver it to its destination, and so it could be any signal at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
