Q: The Quad processor sounds nice, but what happens if I only want 2 or 3 cameras? Also, can I watch the cameras on my home TV? A: The Quad processor is a very versatile unit allowing any combination of cameras to be attached. If you only need 3 cameras, the 4th input will show blank on the 4 camera split screen. In auto rotate mode, the input without a camera will be ignored in rotation. The quad may be programmed to display each camera for different durations from 1 to 9 seconds before switching. You also may display the quad split picture in rotation if you like. You can also adjust each cameras brightness and contrast etc... individually for situations where you have a combination of indoor and outdoor cameras; although there is little need as the cameras will adjust very well to different lighting conditions. Yes! You can output the display to your home TV or VCR. The quad will supply power to the cameras and/or Ranch Hand receivers, and there are standard RCA jacks on the back for output to a VCR or TV. You may also output the quad signal to a single transmitter for viewing up to 4 cameras on your home TV on one receiver. This requires programming the quad in your house where you can see the display, then simply move it out to barn or other building. It will remember your setting. If you want the quad to alternate cameras, you will only have to press the auto button once it is in place. Q: I see you offer an audio adaptor. Will that work with my cables, or do I have to use the Ranch Hand? A: The cables that come with the AgCam system are not audio enabled. However, the Ranch Hand can wirelessly transmit audio directly to the monitor. If you would like an audio enabled cable, we sell them as an option, available in 60' lengths. Q: What happens when the lens gets lots of dust on it? A: The lens is made of the same materials as glasses, and is very easy to wipe clean with a cloth (the corner of a shirt works nicely for this). We have noticed that the lens has to get VERY dirty to even make the image fuzzy on the monitor. The reason for this is twofold. 1) The camera is a 0 LUX camera, which means that it will compensate for lighting conditions down to almost zero light (this is referring to the color circuit board inside of the camera, not referring to the Infrared LED's or the black & white board associated). So, as the lens becomes dirtier, the camera will compensate accordingly. 2) The area that the camera lens needs to be free of debris is very small and in the center. Debris and dust tends to gather around the edge of the camera first, so this also results in the image remaining clear for a longer period of time. An example: the camera was used to look back at the nozzles of a sprayer spraying Glyphosate. After a full quarter, the image was unaffected even though when you went and physically looked at the camera, you couldn't even tell by looking at the lens what was behind it. Q: When the systems break down, what is the most common problem? A: Our warranty return rates are quite low (.05% on cameras) so most repairs are caused by wear and tear. The most common problem we experienced was the camera tail getting damaged in use.
