Hello, I posted on her a while back and got great help so here goes again. I Have a 15 acre farm that I would like to have some video of what goes on from time to time. I have had a few people help them selves to my tree stands and whatever else they felt like. I am looking for a camera(s) that can reach about 100 yards out with a decent picture and preferably at night. I'm aware that Infrared more than likely isn't going to work, I was curious if there is something other than IR cameras. I am on a budget although I understand this isn't going to be cheap. the other task is this camera(s) will be outside in all conditions and fairly for away from power sources 100 yards or more. I do not mind running a coax or ethernet cable to power them although a battery and wireless would be great but budget comes to mind. My biggest need is the resolution and the clarity and distance at night. Also a Half way decent DVR to plug and power it with. I can spend a 100 bucks or so per camera for lower end and for a couple of upper end around 225. I would like to be able to add cameras as I can afford them. Before it brought up I have several game cameras scattered about and the video quality is limited and they dont have the distance I'm looking for. On another note, This may help a friend as well, as he suspects his neighbor is running some not so legal activities and he would like to be able to see who comes and goes from the household and possibly see license plates. The house is about 60 yards from a location he could mount his camera. Thank You

Thanks for the info, The main problem I have with IR is its easily detected. Most people (around me) have at least a gen 2 night vision that can easily spot my cameras view angle. As you have probably figured out its poachers hunting at night with either cross bows or quiet rifles and night vision. I have spotted them a few times with my gen 4 scope just by leaving my IR off and scanning to see if and where someone may be. the problem is I have no physical evidence and my word against theirs is not enough to move forward. Also if I were to try to do something now it would only make them mad and who knows what they will do next. Thank You Again

I have a project on a racing vehicle I need help with. What I am trying to do is, watch parts and pieces while on track. Since I'm not driving I need to be able to record what the parts are doing and then play back. The area I'm working in is. Very short distance for focus (2"-3") and the cameras need to be small, maximum of 1/2" thick. I was thinking of a pinhole cameras from new egg. Also I need a dvr that could configure four cameras to one screen and also record about 30 minutes max. The system also needs to be in color and 12v power source. I'm camera and CCTV stupid so I don't know what cameras and boxes are compatible. A list from new egg or similar would be awesome. Thanks for the help and if it all works I can post a vid of the results.

Cool A lot of body roll and right rear clears the ground. Nice

Thank you very much. I see the cameras are night vision as well. Will they still work ok in a heavily lighted environment? The parts are perfectly within my budget as well. Thank you if all works as planned I test components next week and will post a couple of vids within a few days of the test.
