While entertaining and definitely of value on a troubleshooting standpoint, I am wary of “fundraising fatigue” that may leave us short when wanting to do more sites because XXX resources have gone for less mission-critical infrastructure. It’s been mentioned we may have more site expenses coming up and I would hate for those to fall short.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>That said, I’m freakin’ amazed at the resolution of some of the newer cameras and it definitely would be a cool thing to have.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Rob<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></a></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'> PSDR [mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bart Kus<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, May 05, 2016 3:15 PM<br><b>To:</b> Puget Sound Data Ring <psdr@hamwan.org><br><b>Subject:</b> [HamWAN PSDR] VOTE: High quality PTZ camera<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hello,<br><br>Several of us have been talking about putting high quality PTZ cameras at our tower sites for people to enjoy. Survey the surrounding country side, get tactical awareness in emergencies, look for antenna damage remotely, etc. I'd personally love to have 1 good PTZ per tower. I think it would also be a very popular past time, and one of the killer apps that HamWAN can deliver. Good quality cams are expensive however. Here are the requirements as I see them:<br><br>1) Outdoor rated<br>2) No exposed moving joints that can freeze (domed design)<br>3) Heater to melt ice<br>4) IP encoding, not analog<br>5) 1080p or better<br>6) 30x optical zoom or better<br>7) Power over Ethernet so we can have only 1 cable run<br>8) Support OSX + Windows (Linux optional)<br>9) RTSP streamable so we can re-broadcast the stream to many people at once<br><br>I found what I think is a decent cam that fits these requirements. It's the Q-See <a href="http://www.q-see.com/1080p-ip-ptz-camera-qcn8035z-1">QCN8035Z</a>. It costs about $670.<br><br>Any opinions on this? I'm inclined to support such a vote.<br><br>--Bart<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
