Color Camera

[nelson slinkman]

My background is a double E degree from Hopkins and I
own Alarm Company of Maryland. We have been in
business for 30 years and a GE Kalitel dealer for the
last 18 years and install about 100 cameras a month.
We do most of the banks in Maryland and for severl
penal institutions and businees in the East.
This is why they make a day/night camera.
If you need any addtional information check the GE web
page. http://WWW.ge.com or http://www.securitypro.com

I've been out of the loop on this subject, Blair. When you installed
the color camera, did you also install a small color monitor or did you
feed it direct to your color TV up front? Were you able to reuse the
existing cabling or did you have to run new cable? Finally, how much
did you have to lay out on the project?

Thanks for the update.

Hi Dick,
First, there is a guy on this list who has much more savvy than I do
on this stuff.. He's
professional. That said, and for what it's worth, I used the existing
cable but had to hard
wire a new power line back to the camera from the front switch. The old
CRT was shot
so I replaced it with a good quality LCD and replace the old clear cover
plate with a new
one.
My costs are not currant, I did this a year ago ..now, the camera and
lens can be purchased for less than $200
and the LCD will be in the $400 range to get quality... For the money,
it's a real hard system
to beat.
Blair
