Hi, first time poster and user of this board. I'm looking for some knowledge to help me out! I have a small business with a small surveillance set up. I need a new camera for my outdoor area that works well at night with variable lighting that is compatible with the cable already ran. I've missed out on a lot of license plates because the resolution is so poor (at least that's what I think the problem is). During the day the resolution is adequate, but at night it is terrible. I can't make out license plates, faces, or sometimes even car models. Info I think may be relevant: -Avermedia Hybrid 8 channel DVR kit, NV5000, 120FPS -Camera is CNB 24volt with Sony Super HAD CCD 600TVL 2.8-10.5MM varifocal 3 axis - CNB-INTDOME-208 -and the cable used is Siamese RG59 with 18/2 stranded 500ft Within Avermedia Software: NTSC video, 640x480, Advanced MPEG4 I have attached a screenshot of what it currently looks like. Please let me know if there is any additional info that can be helpful. Also, please forgive me if this is the wrong forum category to be posting in for this specific inquiry. Thanks!

You guys rock! Thanks for all the input =) I'm not sure if it's IR or not; I can't seem to find an actual model number so I'll have to grab the ladder and get to it. If it is I will look for a lens around 15mm. The image is a lot better in the day. I am interested in Kawboy12R's idea. Can the cable I need for an IP camera plug into the same computer card that the RG59 is in? The card I have now is for all the BNC plugs, and I am not sure what is required for an IP camera.
