Bill 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Hi, first time on this site and need some advice. 3 of our cars have been badly scratched several times and want to nail the culprit. Not got loads of cash for a system but need to be able to film in darkness but there are adjacent street lamps. My knowledge is limited to what I have read over the last couple of days but installing it my self shouldn't be a problem with the correct advice. I need advice mainly on budget infrared cameras and don't know if I shoud use a camera card for my pc or a separate dvr recorder. The filming distance is about 80 feet day and night. I would be gratefull on some advice. Also the cameras need to be discrete so would the infrared be noticeable at 80 feet? Regards, Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baywatch 1 Posted June 14, 2005 1st advice, stay away from cameras with built in I.R. lighting, use seperate I.R. lights to avoid spiderweb problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keefe007 0 Posted June 20, 2005 What is it about the IR built into the camera that causes spiders to come? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cctv_down_under 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Cheapest option is to insert a card .. but be prepared for headaces.. buy a cheap 1ch DVR (standalone) and a really low light day night camera and lens and that should get you results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
