wisp_engineer 0 Posted May 22, 2009 Just thought I'd sing the praise of these cameras, as if it has not been done enough before. I just did 3 of them today, one inside a very bright entry lobby, two outdoors. Amazing, and i mean it, images. The customer was blown away. Also added a Honeywell vandal dome, and for the price the images were awesome. It was very reasonably priced. Replaced: Pelco Color camera (black box cam, color only forgot the model) Toshiba IK644A Accurate (who makes this?) (forgot the model, looks old though) Many shotty made BNC connectors Added: 3 CP484's 1 Honeywell WDR vandal dome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dopalgangr 1 Posted May 24, 2009 Hmm, well maybe you or someone else could give me some info. I just put up one of these and the picture seems a little off. Could you tell me what to set all the setting too? I appreciate any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dopalgangr 1 Posted May 25, 2009 Well prior to me muking with the settings the grass seemed more normal looking and the colors were better. But the picture seemed dark. Let me see if I can find one to post to show what I mean. ***heres one from another angle but you can see what I mean: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted May 25, 2009 Those 484s are definitely in the top-end of the analog CCTV spectrum - ultra-wide dynamic range, auto-backfocus, user-adjustable white balance, maskable light-level detection areas for iris drive... they cost a pretty penny, but you really get what you pay for.

We all love Panasonic 484 but this days almost the same money will buy you 1.3MP Camera so u can read license plate about 10 feet away as in your Picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really Soundy since i start to play with CCD Megapix everything got better I can compare with Arecont in my stock now I was trying to give you few clips but could not ever get hold of you Edited May 25, 2009 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah, but now you're comparing to Arecont, so you're really not in the same price range anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ak357 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah, but now you're comparing to Arecont, so you're really not in the same price range anymore. I don't consider price for 484 and Arecont being too much apart plus I never care about prices that is up to my customer I present choices they decide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zmxtech 0 Posted May 26, 2009 well done.... this is a classic example of the shutter speed to low [motion blur] this is why I asked , few more lights may make it slightly better. [& crank up the shutter?] Are you using the f1.2 lens ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
