rory 0 Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) these are a couple video clips from when I tested the new Eclipse 598HIM TDN IR camera First what the area looks like from a color camera with no light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdqD6TDeuIs Now the 598HIM in color, switching over to Infrared http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9w_KYky3BI Now the 598HIM just in Infrared http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INoH7_a_FT0 It wasnt bad at night, but it did have a spot near the center that was always blurry under IR. I think I had it zoomed out to the widest angle, 2.8mm. Overall it was the poor daytime image that killed it for me. It is a TDN with True colors, but the daytime just seemed too digitized, unrealistic - seen this with alot of recent TDN IR Bullets.

shockwave199 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Wow, just when I get to thinking my meager camera upgrade is great, I see this and reality sinks in- I'm wading around in the shallow end of the pool! LOL! I could go nuts and spend tons 'o money on this stuff- I'd love to. But I have to stay on the shallow end for a while. When my cheap stuff dumps out, THEN one by one I'll probably upgrade to the good cameras. The thing for me is, I spent so much time and consideration running all my wires and placement, and noodling to get remote viewing set up- why would I want to look at anything else but great now? Good lord- another 'thing' I'm into now to run me dry! How much IS this camera anyway? Ballpark? I may have to order their catalog. It's just...another catalog though!

rory 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Probably around $300 retail in the US, maybe more or even less depending where you get it from. I want to test the Samsung next, thats a little more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
