In Jan 2005 I began analog cctv home surveilance in attempt to prove the identity of a relentless two year and still escalating stalking problem. I had no prior knowlege of cctv. I have made some costly mistakes. Knowing what I know now I would have saved money and time and had expanded my options and quality by going digital. Surveilance is night only low light to no light. I have discarded cameras with IR leds or the cameras burned out quickly. Color has not been sucessful in my lighting. I have 8 mini bullet with the Sony EX-view chip B/W at .00003 lux. I have recently changed the wide angle lens for 4, 6, 8 and 12 mm. with better definition. I also use a color 22mm with a Sharp chip and negative backlight and .05 Lux in attempt to catch distant license plates. The stalker has incredible camera perception, going under, over, and around the FOV and cutting cables. Another trick is shining a high beam flashlight on the lens to escape imaging. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Also when using analog is 350 TVL resolution the maximum possible sinse VCRs and Tvs are no more than 350 TVL?
