zmxtech 0 Posted October 16, 2009 greetings folks, Has anyone found much difference between the 1 thru to 5 mega pixel Arecont DN [iR cut filter] cameras at night including the 3130 ? Any model better than anther under IR illumination ? And what lenses are your favorites I have discounted the 3130 because of the lack of space to put a bigger lens z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3RDIGLBL 0 Posted October 17, 2009 what is the biggest Len you managed to put on 3130?thanks Got an install with 5 3130's and the largest lens on one of them is a 12mm. The big thing with the 3130 is you will have to use a fixed lens because the dual sensors sit too close to one another to use a varifocal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zmxtech 0 Posted October 18, 2009 yes that's my point is it worth getting a DN version of the 1-2-3-5MP single lens units like a the AV5100-dn series. Is the IR and night performance the same or better etc ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thewireguys 3 Posted October 18, 2009 So you want to know the best DN Arecont camera? Well obviously the 3130/3135 Then I would say the 1.3 ,2,3,amd 5 1.3 the best, 5MP being the least sensitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skane 0 Posted October 18, 2009 These Computar/Ganz lenses > 12mm work great with the 3130, and should work with the 3135 as well. M1614-MP 16mm M2514-MP 25mm M5018-MP 50mm They are 2/3" format which provides nice sweet spot over the 1/2" Arecont sensor. Physical dimensions of these lenses provide ample clearance on the 313x.
