rory 0 Posted February 2, 2006 The camera itself does make the difference, regardless of whether it uses an Exview CCD or not. Exview is certainly very good in low light, perhaps the best IMO, but IR is a different thing. Im not a CCD manufacturer so cant say for sure. Let me point you in the direction though .. Here is something from Extreme on their LXR CCD: http://www.extremecctv.com/products/uploads/PDF2/LXR800-Series_TS_060101.pdf "LXR is short for the ELIXIR sensor … or Enhanced Light Integrity for Extended Infra-Red spectral response. This new generation CCD marks a quantum advance in photopic response, IR response and dynamic range. The benefits are clear: no blooming, no streaking, no smearing. The applications are extremely interesting: night vision, vehicle monitoring, high speed surveillance, license plate reading." "These 1/2†Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chewingyu 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Wow, so much info that I get a little weary from reading it. However, I must commend Rory for a great job he is doing in helping those of us who are users in this CCTV field. Is there a site I could visit where there are great illustrations/sample images of different camera types i.e IR, Day/Night, 1/3". 1/2", wide angel, etc etc. Would really be good for people like me who are no-so-completely-technically-illiterate-but-not-so-technosavy-either! I do find this field facinating and do not want to be conned by my CCTV vendors but at the same time the amount of info is so overwhelming that I do not really know how to start learning.

rikky 0 Posted September 21, 2006 True Day/Night = camera + IR illumination. So far everythng here's focussed on the camera alone But if we're talking true d/n we cannot be operational without the IRs. So infact of just manufacturing good cameras, the big guys should better be looking at doing solutions, like Extreme does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
