HAL_9000 0 Posted July 17, 2011 I am considering to buy some quantity of cameras from Cantonk in China . Models with Sharp CCD and 580 tv lines are 10 $ cheaper then ones with 480 TVL Sony ccd . Is really so big difference in picture quality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anyincctv 0 Posted July 17, 2011 hi, Cantonk is located in Guangzhou, why they told you sharp ccd with 480tvl? By now sharp often does low resolution CCD with 420TVL. BTW, Sony CCD with 420TVL is $8.0 higher than Sharp. Which resolution you should select depends on what kind of cameras you want to buy, and where to use them. So you can tell the seller your requirement, then they give your best solution. Any question about security camera, I'd like to help you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teech 0 Posted July 17, 2011 Color config of Sharp is bad on side by side with a Sony 420. Also, noise at night is terrible. Maybe they've improved recently, last I used a Sharp was about 1.5 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted July 17, 2011 Buy Sony CCD, you will wish you had. Sharp is for people that just want to see something and dont care what it looks like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HAL_9000 0 Posted July 17, 2011 ok, thanks We are buying cameras for sale and problem with end users is they always look at the TV lines and probably will buy camera with more TVL instead of better picture. Regards from Croatia As I am pretty new in this area I hope that you wouldn't mind if I ask You for some advice from time to time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
