Zohan 1 Posted September 7, 2013 Hi guys....been a while since i posted so its good to be back. I need some experienced guidance.... I need to cover a parking lot with some box cams / lenses / housings. The lot has sufficient lighting at night. I was thinking of the Samsung scb-2001. It's a day night camera and has some good reviews, and is in the right price range. Can anyone comment on this camera. Also, i need to pair a lens to the camera. There are so many out there. Of course, i need to be able to have low light capability and very important to have a great depth of field, i need to see maybe 200 feet with everything in focus, the foreground and the background. I need suggestions but also have questions. Can i use a 1/2" lens as opposed to a 1/3", will it give me greater depth of field? The Box cam says true day night with icr, im looking for a day night varifocal lens correct? Will that setup let it work with or without infrared? Just curious on that last one dont plan on using ir because the lot has lighting. Any tips or suggestions appreciated, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
centralalarms 0 Posted September 17, 2013 The ICR refers to the IR cut filter. If you don't use IR, it doesn't matter. I don't see how you will be able to have a 200ft depth of field and keep a wide viewing angle with any analog camera. That's sort of impossible. You may want to try a 5 or 8 megapixel ip camera.
