I have a generic outdoor enclosure with a heater and blower. How close should the lens be from the enclosure glass? Should it be nearly touching the glass or does there need to be a gap to circulate air when there moisture condenses on the glass? The heater block sits about 1" from the glass. [background: The enclosure is mounted under an eve and is protected from the sun, however, this is the midwest with below freezing temps]

Well, as long as they are being discussed... what are everybody's experiences with the WV-CW474? Seems like a solid design. Anybody had problems with them?

I've recently made an investment in a Panasonic WV-HD316 and a few Pana cam's. I love the ability to set up the cameras remotely from the HD316 using the OSD. 1) I'm looking to purchase some more cameras for this system. What other camera manufacturers use a OSD setup and control protocol that is compatible with Panasonic's (VD2 I believe its called). 2) Does anybody have a link for a tutorial on VD2 and its inner-workings? (I've checked panasonic site) Thanks, Tom J
