rory 0 Posted December 15, 2011 the specs seem fine. Only thing I question is the lens not being 2.8-11mm but then using the 4-9mm probably brought the price down a little, and no dual voltage but again in lower priced cameras it will normally just be 12VDC anyway. Also it doesnt seem to have an IR cut filter so colors may be off especially under sunlight, fine for low priority areas, or if one doesnt mind the freaky colors in the day outside.

netcoolro 0 Posted December 16, 2011 Hi, I could recommend you to use something like this: HDSmartEye CCTV Camera, Effio-E 1/3 SONY 700TVL 2.8-12mm Lens 30m IR I do not know how much you have to pay for your camera but this camera has a fair price and as "rory" said you will be much happier with 2.8-12mm Lens. I used this cameras and they are amazing. Or if you really want to use a bullet camera I could recommend you this: Twilight VFC 650TVL 9-22mm Lens 50m IR Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roblondon28 0 Posted December 16, 2011 I'm bascially looking at buying 3 Outside camera's, I'd like the quality at night to be semi decent! Looking to spend £100 + VAT. What will the different lens give me? is the IR Cut Filter something that is likely to cause problems with picture clarity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
