Hey guys, like the title says - Do auto iris box cameras not need IR? I have recently tried a few out and have noticed they see very well in the dark even with no IR.... Is the iris just big enough to let enough light in or if it got REALLY dark would you need IR?

Can you give an example of a nice low light cs-mount lens?

Hey guys going to run 3 3mp turrets and need a nvr.... Ideally the 4ch Poe unit would be great but it's max incoming data rate is 20mbps.... Is that going to be enough if all 3 cameras are recording at 3mp resolution?

You don't mind running the PC 24/7?

So do you find anything more then the 4-8 Mbps bitrate doesn't improve quality? What recording setup do you use for your hikvision cameras?

What is bitrate and why is more better?

Hey guys, I'm putting together a new system and trying to get the best bang for my buck... I have come across these ip cams for 149$ a piece, 3mp hikvision ip cams...

Is that a good price?

Hey guys , bought a new 960H system and wondering what are the best cameras for 960H? if a 960h dvr records at 960x576 should i buy a camera with as close to that resolution as I can get to get the best picture quality? or do I have the wrong idea? got this system on sale for $109 which is about the cheapest i could find up here in canada http://products.ncix.com/detail/laview-lv-kdv1402b6bp-surveillance-system-kit-2e-94137-1285.htm since it only has two cameras i was thinking of buying these to add to the system since the resolution of these cameras is as close to 960H res as I could find: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HD-1000TVL-CMOS-Color-IR-Cctv-Security-Camera-Outdoor-Video-Waterproof-W92-10-/271398902467 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Hot-800TVL-CMOS-Color-IR-CUT-Cctv-Security-Camera-Video-Dome-Home-Indoor-W95-8-/281161595439 good call?

ok so better to get cameras that are specifically marketed for 960h? all the ones i see for 960H are sony sensors but they have only 700tvl
