sf2 0 Posted August 8, 2011 I need an outdoor IR camera to watch some recycling dumpsters behind a building. The camera needs to be attached to the building which is 90' away from the dumpsters. The only lighting is a dusk to dawn type mercury vapor fixture that is ~ 120' away from the dumpsters (almost behind the camera position). They can't install any additional lighting because it is adjacent to a residential area. This camera looks like it might be a good fit. Any thoughts appreciated. http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1298 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Following up on my own post. Looks like this is a pretty new model that is not widely available so likely no one has tried it. Any suggestions for another model/manufacturer camera is appreciated.

HTElectrical 0 Posted August 9, 2011 What you could also do is add CNB's IR illuminator MIR1000 close to the dumpsters and use a TDN camera. I believe it is the same illuminator they are using except that camera has 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing between the dumpsters and the corner of the building (camera location). There really isn't a good place to put a standard without it interfering with the trucks that service the dumpsters (there are 4, 40 yard dumpsters). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted August 9, 2011 The camera you suggested has WDR (although not true double-scan WDR). Do you really need WDR? You will definitely pay more for it. I would probably do something like this: This camera, which by itself can see quite well in low-light: http://cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1076 And then this lens: http://cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=952 (5-50, you can zoom in far) With this IR illuminator: http://cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1059 Then you'll need an enclosure. Like this, along with a bracket: The BBM-24F by itself will do okay with only that street-light. But the IR will fill out the whole picture. If you need a tighter IR angle, they make a 15 degree version as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There really isn't a good place to put a standard without it interfering with the trucks that service the dumpsters (there are 4, 40 yard dumpsters). i have used many of the CNB twin IR. and you can build the same camera using CNB zoom box cameras in a housing with IR for less. the new CNB is also expensive http://www.videcon.co.uk/uploads/files/AIR701-irh_datasheet_ND.pdf and another camera to look at is the huviron SK-P700IRD/M845AI same IR range can be controlled via DVR or remote control unit very good spec camera for alot less than the CNB. http://www.koreacctv.com/eng/product/product_view.php?ac_id=65&ai_id=588 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like a reasonable idea and something to go with if I can't confirm the camera I was looking at is worth the extra cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
