marcolisi 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Hello guys, I need some help please. I am a scientist and we are trying to run an experiment in a chamber to which we go from bright light (sunlight) to night time (moon light). The chamber is sealed , so I would like to record the experiment trough a tiny hole to make in the chamber, that is why I would like to use pinhole lenses. I need some suggestion on which camera to use for having better videos in low ligh in the highest video resolution possible using pinhole lenses . I have 2 options: A) Buy a surveillance camera that can mount a c/cs pinhole lens. For example I was thinking of these 2 solutions: 1) GHN-A955 and use with it a F.2.0 c/cs mount pinhole lens http://www.exelontech.com/product/product.php?prod_id=196&c=SDVVYVExVFBSWjFSR1pVWk9aa2FXbFhPRmQxVE9aRlZYQkhia1psU0VWbWRzRmpWVHBGTVdsRmV0WmxWU1pVVDFVVk1TTlhPclYxTXhRRlU= or a 2) Vitek VTC-C770WS and use with it a F.2.0 c/cs mount pinhole lens [edit by mod- store link removed] or [edit by mod- store link removed] Problem with the above solutions is that the cameras are standard definition (not high definition cameras) and that using F2.0 pinhole lens, I will degrade the low light ability of the surveillance camera... B) The other solution could be to buy directly a pinhole camera ike the one below 1) just buy a pinhole camera like this: [edit by mod- store link removed] http://www.ktnc.co.kr/english/viewtopic.php?t=948 http://www.ktnc.co.kr/english/viewtopic.php?t=645 http://www.ktnc.co.kr/english/viewtopic.php?t=951 http://www.ktnc.co.kr/english/viewtopic.php?t=950 The problem with this solution, is that personally I think that security cameras are better in video quality than little tiny pinholes.. What do you think ? Could u please suggest me which of the 2 methods would you use to have the best video resolution possible at low light levels using a pinhole format ?
