  • I got mine at www.rkycom.com

    I just called and told them what I wanted to do and they gave me a pretty good deal.

  • wow,  where can you get the mm2 and how much is it?
  • @niall both m7001 and 247s are single channel..... and both are POE spec +48v...
    I have more experience with the 247s and I thing they are better quality overall and are faster at compressing the video.
  • Microhard's tested great but were very susceptible to self interference. Also draw a lot more power...

    Pretty much a limit of 4 Microhards running in one area.... MAX
  • unboard recording could be achieved by replacing the m7001 with asingle channel unit that can hold a stacdard sd card most of these units can incorp anthing up to a 16g card at the minuite
  • as far as i know the axis m7001 can be 12v powered as well if not there is a samsung unit quite similar that can be power with a 12v power suppy, additional it think with poe its only 2 cables in the poe that actually carry the power and can be isolated as such. this might well be 48v unsure about that

     

  • i wonder has anyone looked at using fish eye lense on a single camera for a project like this might well be a viable alternative there is software available then to demorph the picture
  • What was your conclusion regarding Microhard? They seem to have some rather nice modems as well.
  • Yes got it all to work on another machine thanks.

    Eraser: follow the APM 2.0 beta instructions to the letter and you won't have problems compiling. Please go back and read them again--there must be some step you're doing differently.
