245 started following Camera recommendation based on experience, Camera to capture traffic light status/color and Microphone input
-
rory, thanks but; We would prefer to mount this camera on the exterior of the vehicle. Allow me to also ask, is there a local office/dist for this manufacturer?
-
1) I was looking at soundys' initial 'ICR' suggestion ... 2) My DVR is 'not' HD, would your (dopalgangr) suggested camera be compatible? I'm located in the USA (EDT/EST). Would you be kind enough to recommend a closer entity\distributor? There may also be a language barrier (with me, if I try an contact an organization located in Korea.

If you remember, I only need the camera. The 'DR.9' doesn't appear to have a jack/connector to attach to a standalone/dedicated DVR. IN fact, the brochure specifically states "Video/Audio Output = NO"
-
Thank you all for your input. -- A special bow to 'Soundy'.

Am I to assume most ICR cameras are compatible with the Lorex entry level dvr's such as the LH-314 and LH-310? Both are the same just 4-chan and 16-chan video inputs. I do plan on replacing the DVR when the budget is up to speed, however, for now I'm in bed with this entry-level Lorex which is better than nothing at all.
-
The main concern is --> 'what camera' will do what I need (at night)? Recommendations? I'll deal with the other concerns later.
-
1) Night time is the real concern at this point 2) To the naked eye most streets here are fairly well lit, however, those same lights are in the path (line of sight) as the traffic light we're trying to capture. --low light camera may be worth a shot; any non-expensive models come to mind? 3) With regards to multiple cameras of any kind; The camera(s) will be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle and needless to say needs to be weather proof, --moving vehicle (high speed) during inclimate weather camera(s) may take on water. The main concern is capturing the color, red, green or yellow light to determine if the vehicle ran through the light traffic light or not.

Can we focus on my posted concern (the camera). 'I don't currently' plan to reconfigure or purchase another DVR for this purpose. I need to know what camera will do what my original post asks --using my current equipment (Lorex LH-314 -or- LH-310 dvr).
-
I'm not sure I understand the motive for the above/quoted questions. My concern is 'what camera?' will do what my original post asks. I'm assuming that most, if not all traffic lights are pretty-much the same distance fom the ground and/or vehicle stop-line/pedestrian crosswalk. The issue/concern is the camera; the DVR's I'm using are Lorex LH-310 and a Lorex LH-314.

The Day/Night cameras: (provided by Lorex)<< Model - MC6930 Model - MC6940 >> with this entry level system does not, while in IR mode, provided enough image detail/definition to be able to tell which light is lite; top, middle or bottom. Having a camera that is able to provide both the status/color in addition to which (top, middle or bottom lens) is lite would be most welcome.

The goal is to affix cameras to a moving vehicle in order to capture whether or not a vehicle ran through, or stopped, at a red light. Said camera will be used at night as-well-as the day-light hours and must pick-up full color. Which obviously means 'no' IR cameras. What camera reccomendations and/or suggestions do you have. My pockets are not deep :~) I do not have a constant Internet connection. I will check every three (3) or four (4) days for a a reply to this thread. Thanks to all the memebers and the board admin(s).

Thank you all for your input.

Its sad that The OEM did not provide the specs for this devices 'audio input', even after calling said OEM, it appears only the engineer knows this info; said engineer has yet to respond after days of leaving voicemail. The issue: My Lorex LH310 has 2-audio inputs of which I recently found out can not handle a directly connected microphone without first plugging the microphone to a preamp then plugging said preamp to the Lorex\DVRs'\audio input. The goal: Using the DVRs' two (2) available audio inputs channels: 1) with a hardwired connection, 2) the other channels input would come from a wireless microphone. As I see it my current concern is: "what are the 'audio input' specifications, of the DVR, to enable me to intelligently purchase the correct preamp/wireless audio input capture device. QUESTION: What are standards and/or specifications, if any, for 'audio input' channels within standalone/dedicated DVR's? -- In this case its a Lorex box.

Thank you all for your patience and input within this thread. I will continue to monitor this topic/thread should anything come to mind at a later date.

After reading the above, this is where I begin to cry real tears, because, I can feel the dollars being yanked from the bank account for these cameras and now you are factoring in a standalone IR illuminator x2; 1-front and 1-rear. Not sure if this is something that makes sense for a vehicle. Espeacially is this illuminator is any where near the same size that I see at the toll plaza's; just not enough space and/or funding. We aren't so much interested in capturing the driver of the vehicle while he/she is inside as we are with the vehicle itself and the license plate detail. I'm looking at the pricing on some of these block cameras, and I must say, they are quite the pricey item(s).
