I have recently taken over the instalation of a 12v 25 camera system over a several acre site both in and outdoors. The System is wired using Cat 5 cables and baluns.
There has been much debate among the instalation team as to whether it is better to purchase more expensive cameras with built in IR or cheaper cameras in casings and Mount one or two IR floodlights below it.
What are the pros and cons of each method?? Which would be cheaper and which would give better quality??
Also is it always best to have colour cameras or do black and white cameras have there uses??
Many Thanks
