Day night cameras

Recommended Posts


I don't think the low end IR bullet type camera is going to do what you want. They are at best a compromise since they aren't really designed as a specialty day/night camera. Best bet is something like the Sanyo which is specifically engineered to be day/night. Unfortunately the camera is a lot more money, but if you have in the budget money for Extreme CCTV equipment then you should maximize it with a higher end camera. Here is a link to the Sanyo info.

Trade your car for a white or silver one

 

Sorry, couldn't resist...

 

Our other three cars ARE silver, but they're covered by an older B&W camera that works great with IR. Maybe I'll just swap the cameras.

 

By the way, how did the exchange work out with your camera? Did you finally get one that is IR-sensitive?

A standard CS-style camera won't work for this location, so I’ve been looking at domes.

 

The Sanyo day/night dome has everything I could ask for, but the price:

Others to consider are the Bosch LTC146 and ProVideo CVC-7245EXTP:

However, neither has an IR cut filter. The Bosch appears to be fully adjustable, but it's not clear how many adjustments there are on the ProVideo.

 

There are also the Panasonics, like this one:

But it’s even more expensive than the Sanyo.
