flasecurity 0 Posted January 10, 2009 I just got the HT-8WMTDV Speco Dome camera. It seems to be a very good camera but I need to use it outside in low light. So far the picture is almost all black at night. Here is a link to the options the camera has, does anyone have any recommendations as far as adjustments for a better picture at night? http://www.specotech.com/cart/products/downloads/appcharts/8WMTDV0807.pdf Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 HI! It seems this camera is a color(daylight)-camera only, not a day/night so it is not built to be used in the darkness, it needs a 0,5Lux and color cameras needs about 10 times more light then a monochrome camaera. But it had a very good warranty as well as much as 580TVL, would be intresting to see the video quality from it JD I just got the HT-8WMTDV Speco Dome camera.

flasecurity 0 Posted January 11, 2009 It has a good picture during the day. I'll post a snap tomorrow. Would it be worth getting an infrared illuminator and keeping this speco cam? Or should should I get a speco intensifier cam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flasecurity 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Looks like I'm going to have to sell it. I hate to do that but all I need are 24/7 outdoor cameras. I am afraid that a IR will not work here.

Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Then I would suggest you look for a weatherproof Day/Night camera with IR, they comes in both box and dome as well as bullet housing.
