high_voltage 0 Posted March 1, 2016 Hi, First post here not sure if it's the right forum or not for my questions but I can't get any answers from web searches and the market is overflooded with IP cameras and it's overwhelming so without actually seeing the picture quality it's very hard to chose one!!! I'm looking to get 3 high quality CCTV IP PTZ cameras for a documentary project. All 3 cameras have to be PTZ over IP, all controlled from a PC from one location. 1080i resolution and it has to be very good in low light (no night vision but high ISO). Also it's for outdoor purposes so I need enclosures on all 3 of them. Any ideas on what I could use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Resolution is 1080p Contact me if you want video samples Ilkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high_voltage 0 Posted March 3, 2016 Looks pretty good. Could I decode the video signal and record it with a video capture card at the other end? Is it the 7230 similar in picture quality to the 7000? So far it's the best picture quality I've seen in low light from a surveillance camera . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far it's the best picture quality I've seen in low light from a surveillance camera . The 7000 mentioned is a generic term for the range. It includes an ultra low light version called the starlight (MIC-7130) which has a slightly more sensitive sensor but only offers 720p. You can decode the signal to PAL but you reduce the resolution You can record the RTSP or H.264 stream using third party AV, ONVIF compliant software or Bosch's own Video Client (BVC) software Hope this helps Ilkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam228 0 Posted March 3, 2016 +1 for the Starlight models. I don't know that you can do any better in low light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high_voltage 0 Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks guys. I discovered that they sell the decoder Videojet 3000 http://us.boschsecurity.com/us_product/products/video/encodersanddecoders/decoders/videojetdecoder3000/videojetdecoder3000_21146 Somebody mentioned to me the Sony BRC-H900 I looked at the price and it's way too expensive. But apparently it has a good camera but I don't think it has many good options as the Bosch and it's double the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This unit will give you PAL composite video output at 4CIF via a BNC connector, so lower resolution than the native camera output Regards Ilkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high_voltage 0 Posted March 4, 2016 The videojet3000 has HDMI out I guess for HD What do you think about the Axis Q8665-E? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high_voltage 0 Posted March 5, 2016 Looks good but I don't think it will do too well in low light. Reminds me a lot of the Sony BRC H900 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high_voltage 0 Posted March 6, 2016 What could I use to decode the Bosch camera to a HD-SDI signal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cole Wood 0 Posted March 28, 2016 Hey, I recommend the Axis Q8665-LE, They are the go-to camera for all of my installations and are supplied with 2 Videotec GEKO IRN illuminators, which will give you around 150-200 Meters of night vision! The only thing is the brackets are sold seperatly, but that goes for the majoritory of Axis' top of the line cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viralcameras 0 Posted April 15, 2016 You can check different kind of such Axis cameras here: www.viralcameras.com . There are different type of axis cams. However from what i see - they are quite good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high_voltage 0 Posted April 15, 2016 Very cool. Any reasons why the aspect ratio of the video is just out of this world? Looks like a video stitching feed but even wider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
