securitymonster 0 Posted February 16, 2006 It will be hard to determine the "Best" camera for that price as you will have to choose from an OEM model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted February 16, 2006 cheap color bullet camera, forget IR and forget Dome ... There's nothing "good" about a dome at that price. If you must have rock bottom product check out the COP USA line ... or somewhat better the Eclipse or MACE line .. Personally, from experience, I can only suggest a Bullet camera at that cost as al cheap domes have given horrible images. Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JMANOFNVS 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Nice dome darby7, I have never seen it in black before. Vitek has a white one and Arm electronics has it in a dark grey with 4 versions 420lor fixed and varifocal and 480lor fixed and varifocal. I have also seen it on ID View's website and a couple of others and I must say for the price it is a very nice dome especially the varifocals they have external adjustments.

JMANOFNVS 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Do they have it in black? I kinda like the black better. What do you think?Does it fall within the specifications of this post? Hey Darby7 do they have a varifocal version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kandcorp 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Here is the ICR-200 Black version of this camera with the Blue IR's I think both of you already have the pricing. As of now ICR only carries the fixed 3.6mm lens version. But, the lens can be exchanged for 6, 8, 12mm. Security Monster, I beleive they are different, this one is 1/3" Sony Super HAD, 480Lines. And sorry for the huge pic everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitymonster 0 Posted February 21, 2006 The camera I have access to comes in 4 different versions: 420 Lines Fixed 3.6mm 420 Lines 4-9mm Varifocal 480 Lines Fixed 3.6mm 480 Lines 4-9mm Varifocal Just depends how much you wanna spend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 21, 2006 This is one im going to be testing out as its dirt cheap. Notice the seperate windows for the IR leds. Sunkwang makes an identical unit but i dont think this it as this is so cheap, but it may still be and they just ordered alot of them. I know it wont be like my sanyo or other Korean Domes Ive used but the clientel are dirt cheap also .. COLOR HIGH RES. AUTO IRIS, IR DOME CAMERA - 1/3" Sony HQ1 Super HAD CCD - Day and night dome - Resolution 540 lines - Min. illumination 0.5 lux - 0 lux with IR on - Auto white balance - 22 IR LED's - 4-9mm Vari-focal Auto iris lens - Power 12 VDC/120mA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
