Would it be overkill to purchase a Sharx outdoor model for an indoor application?

I think so unless of course your roof leaks, hahahaha as the outdoor models are water proof. Check out their indoor models which are less expensive and will have just as good of a picture indoors.

yes, no need to pay for the weather proofing etc. Their indoor models offer excellent clarity, same software and excellent nite time vision.

Would certainly work, but likely better solution and cheaper to use an indoor model.

In my experience, the camera is probably better suited for outdoor use. I tested it indoors before outdoor installation and the sharpness in images seemed better in natural lighting.

Not really, just depends what look you are going for. The indoor ones do the same as the outdoor ones. They can work either place.

I'd imagine you could use this for outdoor, but I believe it's mostly for indoor use.

It depends on the structure, where it is placed, and the type of connections. It's more than sufficient in general for home use. Why not ask the manufacturer for more technical details?

sure, not a problem. I actually purchased this product for my dad. He uses it mostly outdoor (deck) but he's used it inside (kitchen) and even on his enclosed sunroom from time to time. The product is very mobile and easy to use.

Get a good alcad. The one they provide is a trow away item. The unit performs like a $400 unit I purchased years ago.

Wow, did I call it junk? I mean, it's not the worlds greatest inverter, and if only used a few minutes at a time for small loads, it would be ok. But going bigger means you are going to run some serious equipment, and most likely expensive stuff too. Xantrex has recently come out with a line of inexpensive sinewave inverters to compete with what china is producing in their sunforce line. These are in the $289-300 price range. Personally I'd take the Xantrex first over the sunforce because it WILL deliver 1000W, while the sunforce shuts down just below 1000W and does not have any surge capacity like the xantrex does. I reviewed 3 inverters, 2 xantrex (the grey one is the one i'm thinking of), a yellow one, and one sunforce inverter (black) - all specified to be 1000W. The GREY xantrex offers the most bang for the buck and is not overrated like the sunforce is. The yellow xantrex has a nice powerdown mode called power save that minimizes the inefficiencies of having an inverter - it turns on every couple seconds, looks for any load, then goes to sleep for 2 seconds. As a result the neon lights on power strips blink because they are below the threshold to put it in run mode, but as soon as you really need power it enters run mode. Just beware that these larger inverters come at a price - idle current - the DC power wasted when no AC power is needed. Yellow (expensive) xantrex has the lowest idle with power save, but you can also just turn off the grey unit when you don't need power. The sunforce has a cute keyfob on/off controller - its range is limited but it does work. It's just not able to do 1000W and nowhere near the surge rating on the inverter. I kept that model anyways for the remote control feature. My personal experience says go with the $289 grey xantrex I reviewed. It's got clean power and just don't run it 24x7 (don't run ANY inverter 24x7 - 1.5 A x 24 = 36 AH, which is almost the daily production of the 60W panels! If you leave the inverter running you won't have any room for running devices.)

I don't recommend our public use model for your situation. Any 1.5 gpm model found in our home/hotel section will work best.

I just recently purchased a 76c, but I have not used it outside yet. That being said, the 76c is 5 times better than my old Proxima projector from 1996 and I used that outside all the time. Used to project it against a white sheet hung on the side of the house. I connected my laptop via s-video. Most dvd players have s-video out as well so you can go that route as well. There is no reason you can't project outside!

I would suggest getting an outdoor model as even in covered areas there can be high humidity.

Yes it could be... be sure you research exactly what you want before you buy. You may need different items if you are going to be indoor only vs. wanting to take these outside. Overall, as a beginner you could probably make this work in almost any situation because it's decent performance, light weight and quite portable.

Jeff there are inside outside corners available and also window and door trims that I suggest you use. You can also use a ledger if you are not going to the top. The nexstone web site has all the info there too. If you have switches or electrical plugs there are special boxes you will have to purchase.

I suppose you could use it outdoors, but I believe that is it meant for indoor use only. It would be your call as to whether you want to take your chances.

Tbh idk... maybe you should invest in a decent controller and see whats up. .. I think it depends on how big a space you are looking to use it on as well..

yes but archicad recommends a quad core, we do have them, it does meet the minimum requirements but it may be slow.

I really think this model is designed for a small space where it works perfectly. I agree with the other two answers to your question and suggest a larger model for a larger space.

Depends on the size. If its a huge room I would get the bigger model. If its an average room then it's fine.

Wow. Congrats on stepping into the field. I have the B/H the 1080 HD. I would recommend if you can afford the ful spectrum to purchase it. But if you are just starting out you may want to go with basic infrared. Make sure it is something you truly want to peruse. Full spectrum has many uses but also has its flaws.
