Guest RICHL Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 does it plug in to your telly via the scart? if so its probably much the same as several other DIY types. What do you need to know about it anyway?
mr silcox Posted February 13, 2005 Author Posted February 13, 2005 i've just had a phone call about it hoping to find out what it's wired in and if there are any ajustments you can make??
Guest RICHL Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 if its the sort of thing Im thinking about then I wouldnt expect it to be adjustable, may be wrong though.
Rich Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 What it is most likely is a wide angled board camera, with an external pir sensor powered via a 12v psu, connected to a scart lead. The camera may also have audio, so you will have the power for the camera and pir cables 12v, possibly 1 for microphone plus. Then maybe 1 negative for each powered device, the output from the pir which most likely carries 12 volts back to pin 8 on the scart plug. An RCA plug (phono?) for the audio and video. with a supplied phono to scart adapter. So for the cable, 8 core minimum, 12core max if you need to extend it. Only adjustments you will be able to make is adjusting the camera angle, masking part of the pir I would think. Anything else you want to know?

ian.cant Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I am 99% positive it was made/sold by a company called QS Hawk in Carrington Manchester and it would be about 5 year old maybe? Anyway QS hawk has moved on from selling cheap domestic cctv cameras and now only deal in very high spec DVRs (they are the only DVR's Tesco fit) they now call themselves Quick Solutuions. Ive checked out they're webby and theres no mention of those cameras now but they used have them on the old webby. They are here so you can get the details and contact them, they may have passed the business onto someone else? Then again i could be wrong! B)

Guest urban surveillance Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 If you still need help with this system, give me a call. I was the production manager for QS products many,many moons ago. the system is ok for home use if you have good lighting, for enything else it is not worth fixing! Hope this helps.
