Soundy 1 Posted August 1, 2010 Looks like your basic Chinese cheapie.... Hoo Flung Dung or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted August 1, 2010 I thought the same at first .. but this one looks a little different. note how the lens is pushed forward away from the IR LEDs, looks like its in its own little weatherproof compartment, the chip has to be close behind it. Imagine that is done in this case to prevent both bugs and ir reflection over the lens itself, and get the sunshield out of the way with a wide angle? I havent seen this type before .. perhaps our chinese friends here could help on this one! Im searching alibaba for it now .. amazing the amount of DUAL CCD cameras coming from the china mainland now .. geez its like dozens of different looking ones ..

thewireguys 3 Posted August 1, 2010 When I got to the job site and I first looked and the camera it looked like the installer glued a lens on the front but it looks like lens is designed like that to keep the IR from reflecting on the image. I image from the camera is.... not so good I feel bad for the customer because this is a new install and the company they hired had no clue what they where doing and charged them though the nose for it. Now I get to fix it and charge them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Securame 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Looks like your basic Chinese cheapie.... Hoo Flung Dung or something. I have to agree with that, just some chinese camera, you could stick any brand name on it. I have actually seen some cameras like this, never liked them, but chinese sometimes make weird designs that will go nowhere. I think the point on this design is just so the camera can have a fixed CS lens that can be easily replaced without taking apart all the camera, but it is ugly as hell.

Birdman Adam 0 Posted August 2, 2010 I have seen that red, green, blue symbol before... I can't think of the name! Is there any text on them other than the front? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted August 2, 2010 that red green blue is on most chinese cameras! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Oh! Didn't realize that... Well now I can easily identify them - they all have a universal logo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jefinny 0 Posted August 20, 2010 Yes, this kind of camera is made in China. The feature is that the lens is outside of the camera housing. But it seems the technic is not very mature. So not many facotries produce this camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
