andimav 0 Posted March 25, 2015 Hi all, I have recently purchased a Floureon 8 ch system, took a while to set up but is working pretty well other than the picture quality.. I got 4x 700tvl cameras with the unit and currently using 2 untill I can get Upto fit the other 2.. During the day the colours seem a little washed out and green is non existent.. I will attach a pic to show what I mean.. All setting seem right, during the night it switches to IR and seems to work pretty well but when close to the camera above my door, the picture seems too illuminated... I have been in touch with the supplier who has been very helpful but advise me there is no IR-Cut on the cameras and resolution is not high enough... Is this right as was under the impression inwould get TRUE day colour and IR night... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted March 25, 2015 Cheap cameras, cheap results. If you did get cameras with no IR-cut, then the colors during the day will be quite bad. If you try the cameras indoors, with no outdoors light from the sun, I am sure that the colors will be way better than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andimav 0 Posted March 25, 2015 Yes the cameras are better indoors, but that is no good to me, i need them outdoors.. They have offered me 4x 1000TVL cameras with IR-Cut for £60 GBP am i best to send the entire unit back or just get these ones?? Im a newbie and dont want to keep spending money..

I dont know what the prices are in your area but for that kind of money it seams you can get ip cameras, or if you dont want to rerun cable, get dahua CVI that will give you HD over coax and will be miles better than the cameras you have...you will need a cvi dvr...

andimav 0 Posted March 25, 2015 I have had a quick look and would take me a little time to be able to afford Dahua, Im not fussed about re-running cables as its not difficult in the property im in Think its best i do abit more research, i was hoping to put IR-Cut cameras on my current DVR andhope that would improve the picture quality at least for now....

andimav 0 Posted March 25, 2015 .. Yes it is £60 for all 4 cameras, I'm a little dubious about them as the supplier told me they have IR-Cut function but on the specs I can't see it... If I keep the floureon DVR would I be best to source other cameras with IR-Cut?? Any recommendations ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with ir cut they are going to look pretty bad...who really cares about color when you cant get a clear image....you might want to save the money that you are going to spend on more expensive analog cams and put it towards a future purchase of HD cams..

Securame 0 Posted March 27, 2015 Quite funny that a GBP136 4 camera kit is advertised as "Professional". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
