Soundy 1 Posted November 3, 2009 It would be easier to answer this (and your other question) if we knew exactly what DVR and cameras you have, but it seems like a fair guess that it's a low-end camera-and-DVR package system - and it's not uncommon to not have a lot of clarity from these systems. Between low record resolution and mediocre cameras that try to fit into a midpoint between quality and angle of view, there's just not a lot of detail to be had. There are several ways to get higher quality, but none of them will be cheap. You can go with megapixel IP cameras, but those are expensive compared to what you have, and you would probably need a new DVR that supports them. You can also use a "longer" lens on some cameras to get a closer, tighter view of faces, but that will reduce the area covered, and since these are probably "bullet" cameras, it may not be easy to change the lens. Beyond that, it's hard to suggest anything without more information on exactly what you have, and what you're trying to achieve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
