cp4874 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Hi mates I am looking for a security camera which can view up to a distance of 6km with day/night viewing capability. The view should help detection and is not intended for identification. Could you guys suggest any product that can serve our requirement Regards CP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SEANHAWG 1 Posted April 13, 2011 I would be curious to see what a camera that can see that far would cost. I imagine the lens alone would be $10,000+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sawbones 0 Posted April 15, 2011 That's going to be an absolutely ludicrous zoom lens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotoriousBRK 0 Posted April 15, 2011 www.obzerv.com makes a product that will do what you want. Depending on configuration, the price will be around $200-$300K USD. I can put you in touch with the right people there if you like. Pentax's PAIR lens may also be an option. I believe those are much cheaper, around $25K USD, IIRC.

How is the low light performance on these cams? Are they managing noise well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted April 16, 2011 I would hate to accidentally break one of those, drop them in the lake, drop them off the ladder, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ak357 0 Posted April 16, 2011 How is the low light performance on these cams?

Soundy 1 Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah, Yaletown at night, not a lot of street lighting - everyone seems to like it "low-key" in the area, more trendy that way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I simply log in to demo server original pix are 16 mp I resize them to 640x480 for forum and sample taken at 10:30 pm Thanks. That's not too bad at all. In the second shot I can see the ambient light source being reflected off the bricks so I am guessing there is probably more light than what one would find in most poorly lit situations. I think the weird coloration on the dumpsters is from flare or reflections of a nearby light source on the camera's enclosure. The noise looks acceptable. I guess the true test would be to see images from an area that is only lit by a full moon with no other light pollution. I would like to be there in person to see this installation and lighting to be 100% sure. Thanks again for posting these images as they are very helpful.

cp4874 0 Posted April 18, 2011 Thank you so much mates. After searching the net I had sent enquiries to 2 companies. I had sent enquiries for the following products http://ascendentdvr.com/ptz/10km-ir-ptz-laser.html http://www.cohu-cameras.com/products/vidcams/8800.html waiting for their quotes. I shall also check out the alternatives you guys have suggested. Rgds CP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
