magnus 0 Posted April 28, 2012 If i get a Dahua FULL D1 8 Channel Security DVR Real Time D1 Resolution, what cameras should i be getting to take advantage of D1? (bullet type and maybe one ptz) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted April 28, 2012 What are the cameras used for/looking at? I recommend this camera as a good all-around unit: http://www.cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1073 As far as PTZ, they're neat to play with, but not very effective without a human operator.

magnus 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Cameras will be used for watching the house and one inside for watching the baby sitter. My main concern is that I want to get the best resolution from that dvr. I want the indoor camera with the highest resolution as possible. Can I get a 700 or higher TVL or is that camera to good for that dvr? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted April 28, 2012 Can I get a 700 or higher TVL or is that camera to good for that dvr? hi. the Dahua will give you good images. D1 at 7fps is good if you want more FPS then you will need the 30fps Dahua D1 on all channels. as far as cameras all these that say 700tvl are when the cameras are in b/w mode. (sales pitch that make cam specs look better) 700tvl = 650 in the real world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted April 28, 2012 Since NTSC spec is 525 lines, with 482 being visible, plus the fact no DVR records over 480 vertical pixels, anything over 520 TVL is really extraneous. Don't get hung up on the the camera's TVL, there's a lot more to what makes a good image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
excableguy 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Can't go wrong with the dome camera that Soundy is recommending. I'm using some bullets that also give a decent quality for the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hubjeep 0 Posted May 2, 2012 Can't go wrong with the dome camera that Soundy is recommending. I'm using some bullets that also give a decent quality for the price. As I read I see that CNB24 dome seems to be the agreed upon good dome here. Any good all-around bullet camera suggested? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
