thewireguys 3 Posted September 9, 2008 I need I know if WDR camera will get me a better image. The customer wants to know what people are carrying out of his plant and have facial recognition. So I have 2 options: One megapixel camera so he can have a overall shot and be able to zoom in on the doors. Two at least 3 cameras 2 of which are zoomed in on the door on the left and the walk way between the buildings on the right then one camera for a wide shot. To further complicate things this has to be done wirelessly because the NVR will be located 3 buildings away. I know there is going to be bandwidth issues with the megapixel camera so I am trying to convince my customer to let me run a fiber or cat5 between the buildings but it will not be easy or cheap. I am thinking about using Panasonic WV-CP484s and video servers for the WDR and a Arecont 3130 for megapixel camera. I really don't think the Arecont is going to give me a good image with the lighting conditions you see in the image. So I unless any one has a better idea I think the 3 Panasonics are the way to go.

Erron S. 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Where is the door that the employee's are exiting through? I can't tell because of the wash out on the image you posted. Judging by the massive amount of contrast WDR would certainly be in order. I would use a Pixim chipset with the highest bitrate you can get. The white/beige building is reflecting light like no other. You want as much adjustment as you can get. I'd use that camera as the wide angle, then do what you were talking about and use the MP camera with a fairly up close shot of the exit door. Erron S.

Biphase 0 Posted August 15, 2009 WDR will definitely help. The panasonics are pretty decent ...SD-3, SD-5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
