Dear, I'm looking for a varifocal camera (preferably bullet-type) for outdoor application. Currently we have TRACER camera's (TS-6090EHPS SONY Exview chip) and IR but the problems is that they attract bugs and give a lot of "motion events" which we do not want. Another problem are the lighting conditions, during night there is some streetlighting (like everywhere in Belgium) but the image quality is quite good. In the morning however, some additional lights switch on for more decorative aspects ... resulting in a dark useless image with near the decorative lighting white spots Any suggestion? Repositioning the camera or changing the "decorative lighting" is not an option. I was thinking about a WDR (wide dynamic range) bullet type camera without infrared and varifocal lens. Budget is around $200-300 A suggestion from my side: Tracer TS-WDCP6900HPSC Major problem with these Tracer camera's is however: where to buy them? Question: 1) are there good solutions to avoid "bug" alerts with infrared lighting? => not using the built in LEDs? 2) any suggestion for these difficult lighting condtions? => WDR? Kind regards, Any

Dear, Spiders are less of a problem, if you see them: cleaning the camera is theanwer! More of a problem are indeed the mosquitos, moths are the problem because there are there suddenly and fly away. Therefore i prefer to not use ir or to use a seperate ir illumination. Or even better: buying a camera with good properties (exview...) i'm in fact surprised by the amount of ir led camera's ... knowing that it gives problems. Back to main question: what is the best solution for the lighting problem? Is WDR overkill? Are there good and not-to-expensive cameras? By the way, a good suggestion for a webshop delivering PAL camera's? Kind regards, Peter,

What do you mean with "bugs taken over" the camera? To my experience, they fly towards the camera and because they are lit by the camera, the system will cause a motion event in the motion detection software. Concerning the lighting topic: The exview gives indeed very good results. The problem is the huge variance of the light over the image. With the decorative lights, the camera tries to get everything good resulting in a bad image quality for dark parts. I was thinking that WDR (or something like back light compensation) would results in a better image. Or not?
