On the cusp of making a decision. Any last thoughts?

AXIS Q1785-LE - Looks good but far more than I really need.

We like the longer view, namely an optical not digital zoom. Picture below is the iPhone 5 on a wide setting which is too wide.

I only need a refresh rate of once a minute as we are looking to drive traffic to our art gallery website, looking out to the mountains, not monitor car registrations at 250m.

Needs to be weatherproof as it's to be mounted outside.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. As good as the axis is your going to have bad night time images it only has a short ir range .... for a sub £1000 camera it should be able to achieve images as you would get with a starlight sensor ( village street lights ) will help with better night images

 

have you thought of using a ptz camera

tying to figure out your location Scotland or north Lake District 

what is your budget
