koolmer 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Hi everybody, Alright, I have a gate, which is currently watched by a high res color camera in an (very old) outside housing. The picture in the night is acceptable, but noisy. Actually there is lots of outside light from street lights, but faces are hard to recognize. Also when the sun shines, faces are very hard to recognize (sun comes from the side). The brand is Vista (UK OEM - don't know who actually manufactured it) and it has 470 TVL. So I proposed a D/N WDR camera. Budget is 330 Euro incl. VAT & shipping. It should be a dome. I think a good WDR camera without D/N would also do it. There is quite some light. koolmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SEANHAWG 1 Posted August 27, 2010 Yeah, that should get you a Blue-I camera if you can find a seller who has them. If you get one, let us know how you like them. Does your current camera have some BLC on it? If not, that may help a little if not alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koolmer 0 Posted August 30, 2010 The one that rory shows in the link looks great! I wrote to CNB already a few days ago to receive a pricelist. They have no Distributor for Denmark! Now I have to fill out this huge form to be able to buy from them directly... hope this is going to work. Does anybody know the Distributor for Germany? Maybe I could just buy from there. Any other suggestion besides CNB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koolmer 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Hmm - I never heard of Sunkwang... Has anybody tried them? The Specs look good, but the camera itself looks a bit too "modern". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koolmer 0 Posted September 2, 2010 If you want cheap but professional CCTV camera with 3 years warranty, please take a look at: That looks like no-name cameras with Sony CCDs that are then sold as "SONY". I hate this misleading type of marketing. 330 Euro is also not exactly cheap. I want something good for the amount of money that I have... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
