rory 0 Posted October 11, 2011 better than a snapshot, here is a video of the KT&C mini bullet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D3AIc0VldY when you watch this, remember this is just an inexpensive fixed iris really tiny waterproof (IP67) bullet camera. Think very small hidden camera in a weatherproof housing. There is some noise at night under even that lighting, but thats the same for even more expensive color/TDN cameras I tested there recently.

SEANHAWG 1 Posted October 11, 2011 I'm just curious because a smaller picture seems to help out the sharpness of a shot. Its because you record at HD1 and your full size images are blown up to scale. You would probably get more sharper images if you used D1 recording. If that is D1 image then maybe your DVR over-compresses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Only the driveway camera is D1. Not thrilled with that camera- gonna change it out. The other two shots are HD1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bantham1 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Here is a picture from my SCO-2370 at D1 and CNB Mona Lisa VBM at D1. I think your DVR/cable is a big part of your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DVR MAN 0 Posted February 27, 2013 I just switched to the Samsungs. Mine are razor sharp and do not show any flair or wash out when the image brightens. I think you need to play with the setup menu. As for focus, try zooming to the aproximate view that you need. Then tighten the zoom screw. Then tighten the focus screw just barely enough to lmpart a slight drag on it. Use your thumb and forefinger on either side of the focus screw, and bearly move it until you achieve focus. Then watch the monitor and move side to side on the screw to nail the sweet spot. Be sure to have a decent monitor with good crisp resolution. Also assure that you are focusing on an object that has sharply defined lines (like spokes on a mag wheel). This procedure works well for me. DVR MAN P.S. Did you buy from an authorzed reseller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DVR MAN 0 Posted February 28, 2013 Go into our menu and look for the reset option. Click on it to return the settings to the factory settings. If things do not improve, email me. DVR MAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
