shockwave199 0 Posted May 7, 2012 What's your problem with them? They look like they need more focusing to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
infowire 0 Posted May 7, 2012 I guess analog cameras do not get much better than that as far AS quality goes. Yeah maybe i can mess with the focus a bit more. I wish i could read that license plate through the door tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted May 7, 2012 With better focus I'd bet you could read the plate through the door. That doesn't seem like much of a challenge for that camera if well focused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted May 7, 2012 You added the KT&C. That's wide angle for the room. One camera may not be enough if you need more detail from any one spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camera-newbie 0 Posted May 7, 2012 ... I wish i could read that license plate through the door tho. Ahh.. You need that cool software they use on the CSI shows that can take an unfocused image and turn it into a properly focused one in no time flat and with any image..

Because you can totally generate those license plate numbers from the missing pixels =P It's like pulling it out of thin air. I can sharpen the image in Photoshop but still wouldn't be able to read it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Well, I would do some tweaking... Particularly that through-the-door shot would benefit from a WDR camera, or maybe zoom in on the door more. ESC3 wasn't my favorite, out of those bunches but for $90 you are doing well. I think it has some BLC and whatnot, try that out maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

empiresecuritycamera 0 Posted May 18, 2012 I love seeing our cameras out in the wild!! A little more focus might help. Also, you might want to switch out the camera facing out the door with a WDR model (Effio-P WDR maybe?) Not only is it slightly higher resolution, the WDR feature will help when the sun is in different positions since it is indoors facing outdoors. Is your DVR D1 or 960H? That could also help clear up the plate. PS - Everyone please do not post our model numbers, website, email address, etc to this forum. I can almost guaranty they will be deleted. We will be more then happy to answer questions via PM.

Razer_SE 0 Posted May 21, 2012 You should be glad they posted some models and info and such as I'd never heard of you but now that I have I'm interested in seeing more of what you have to offer in cameras specifically. I will be in contact soon, I have need for quite a few cameras. I have about 700+ older cameras all told now, moving some to IP but others will stay analog.

empiresecuritycamera 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Welcome to the forum! We are trying to spend more time uploading videos and pictures but our installation schedule usually has us running between jobs 7 days a week. The majority of our sales are directly to other installers and re-sellers who usually re-brand there cameras with their company. Anyway, only the outside camera and door camera are our models. It looks like they are hooked up to a D1 resolution DVR (704x 480) and could use a little more focus. Nothing a small test screen couldn't fix! If there is some interest and no one breaks the forum rules we will upload some pictures of the same models in 960H resolution (960x480). Just let me know what kind of shots you want to see. The only thing we do not have access to is a large area absent of any light, the City never sleeps! Yeah I registered here just to get this info and Pics that you don't have on your website.
