AVCONSULTING 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Get the DC style. It is the newest type of lens. The video drive is older technology. A bonus is that the DC style is much less money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Depends on whether or not people still have wharehouse full of Video Drive LOL Both those cams are good but base models, there is a better version of the Ganz Day nighter avail now but more expensive, however it is fully digital etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Cool. Yes, F:0.8 would provide lower lighting, depending on the camera. For example, this is an Exview 0.02 Lux Color Camera: F:0.95 F:1.2 .. http://www.bahamassecurity.com/ms/portfolio.asp#top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
