gompka 0 Posted January 4, 2008 I want to monitor the front of my home, mostly to see my two cars parked out in front, but also the sidewalk and front yard. Its about 35 ft from the house to the street and the camera will be mounted about 14 ft high and i am shooting for about a 40 ft width in the view. I came across this camera CNB B1710N for a good price and from what I have read with the 4.3mm lense it should suit my needs. Also a 6mm is available would that be better? Also I will be using my computer for video capture. I am new to cctv and if you guys can recommend a better camera for a similar price please do, I have a >$150 limit on price.

D&C_ELECTRONICS 1 Posted January 7, 2008 We use this camera for long time and It is one of our best seller in the Greek Market. The default lens on this camera is 6mm. I suggest not to use 4.3mm cause the IR are not so wide. The IR work perfect for distance up to 10 meters (about 30ft). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gompka 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Thats for your reply, I went ahead and I bought this camera on friday. I bought the 4.3mm lens, it should be ok for my needs at the moment, if anything I am capable of putting together my own infrared illuminator. I will reply back on here about how I like the camera, because it seems like there isn't a whole lot of information on cnb on the internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carnagerpm 0 Posted January 26, 2008 About the CNB B1710N, I just wanted to say I mounted 16 of these cameras and they are really good. I just stared using them but they look like they will last pretty long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
