streethacker 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks that is a nice shot..But that is a still shot how do moveing objects look at night? I hear they look "ghostly" due to the CMOS.. Also what device should I look into as far as recording? THanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also what device should I look into as far as recording? THanks! I am assuming you are talking about motion blur and it all depends on your exposure settings and how much IR or white light you have or are willing to add. My customer is very happy with the image from that camera with the current light conditions. If you need a turn key solution I can recommend the ExacqVision Desktop IP Server for a small setup.

metafizx 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Check out the IQEye cameras, especially the Sentinel series. These have great night vision. All ready to go with integrated housing. They have a 3 and 5 MP version. Not cheap but an excellent camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
