Here's the specs in case the link gets removed:

 

 

Pick Up Device 1/3 SONY CCD

Horizontal Resolution 520 TV lines

Minimum Illumination 0 Lux IR On

Scanning System 2 : 1 Interlace

Synchronisation Internal

Video output 1Vp-p 75ohm

Gamma 0.45

Lens Type 6-50mm varifocal auto iris lens

Iris Control Auto Iris

IR LED Range 40 Metres

IR LED Angle 90 Degree

Power Supply DC12v

Power Consumption 650mA max

Dimension 162 x 100 x 90mm

 

 

I would rate it as a 4 in a scale of 1 - 10. The amount of IR LEDs should make the illumination pretty good, but the sensor they use probably isn't taking much advantage of it. At least the sensor is 1/3", thats a good thing. The varifocal lens is nice, although at its smallest it may not have wide enough of a view for you. It will have a 67 degree view at 6mm. Use this camera for tighter shots, maybe of entrances or the like.

 

Oh, and its really expensive, a camera with those specs should cost like half of that!

Hi Badseed,

 

This camera is from cop security(cop.eu) and is priced at £129, watch out for these websites that sometimes sell others products for nearly 2-3x its original price.

I don't doubt the IR range of this camera but have installed a few 'similar' cameras and always go for more IR range than needed, if the subject is 35-40m away I would definately consider purchasing a 60/80m IR cam, it'll save you any hassle further down the line.

I'll have a scout about and see if there are any offers on a similar cam to be had.

Err... afraid not, trade only. If you have a credit card you could set up a 30day account... Call sales and ask for Lee.

Also can I just add that I buy quite a lot of gear from Cop and you are getting value for money along with a good tech support team should things you need any help. All their products come with a 3yr guarantee too.
