We are setting up a system for our store.... it is a drive-thru convenience store.
Through our research, we are pretty decided on Geovision GV1120 card with software and have already purchased a nice Dell system to run everything.
We are now looking into what types of cameras are available, brands, features, pricing, etc. Now the REAL confusion starts.
Through our discussions and research, we have decided that at least one "nice" color camera with zoom may be ideal to "oversee" the register. Are concerns come with what is ideal for resolution, auto-iris, focal points, etc.
The other cameras, we are considering bullet style and again are not sure of what ideal resolutions, etc would be.
Two of the "key" factors that may play into this both pertain to the type of store we have. We are in Michigan outside of Detroit and because of the drive thru, the inside temperature of our place varies from 70/80s in the summer to 10/20s in the winter. How does this temperature range affect the cameras?
The second factor has to do with daytime vs nightime. We have lights inside, of course, but get large light fluctuations due to headlights on vehicles at night and sunlight during the day.
Any suggestions/help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
In addition, because this is basically an "open air" facility, the temperature in the winter months can get into the teens and are concerned with camera operability at those
