First things first!
Greetings to all and happy new year 2010
I am responsible to build a system for a shopping mall that is attached with a hotel and an entertainment area, my responsibility is about the 2 first areas.
On a side note, the whole place is attached to an airport... being the surroundings of the Terminal but not the Terminal itself (AKA I am by no means stuck with the airport security rules).
This project is based in Indonesia, here the cameras are usually 200% more expensive than in USA or Europe, and the budget is limited.
I was thinking about using this cameras (BL-C1 series), I am aware they are house-use cams but perhaps acceptable for this scenario?
The positions I am going to use these on are illuminated day and night in the hotel, and with auxiliary lighting in the shopping mall. For external use of course I already discarded this model.
The largest areas I'm going to use these for are around 40m (hotel corridors) length - I know of course I will not get a face recognition on that places but at least will I be able to distinguish the clothes, colours, etc. at a decent distance? I have the accesses covered so other units will catch the face if need, and by the way, do they do a good job with objects on motion with decent light? For the accesses I thought I could use them too.
Does anyone have previous experiences with this model or similar ones in a non-home environment use?
Thanks a lot in advance.
