PThomas Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I am looking for a camera for home use, needs to monitor drive and caravan/cars. I have a street light just accross the road (Single lane road in cul-de-sac) as well as PIR activated floodlight and dusk till dawn low-energy lights. Can somebody recommend me a camera suitable to cover this area, primarily where the caravan will be located whn it is not in secure storage. Ideally manual variable lens so I can select the best coverage and minimum 420 lines resolution (ideally 480-520 lines). I presume that with the existing lights I don't need a IR camera? Budget for camera is approx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave the alarm man Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 proper bodied camera , lens + housing would be nicer....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camstop Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I've not used them but i've seen "CC70" recommended by a respected fellow professional on here before... http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/cctv%20cameras.htm I'd get the PSU from them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PThomas Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 proper bodied camera , lens + housing would be nicer....... However her in doors would not appreciate something that large, unfortunately I will have to compromise a little. I want something visible as a deterent that gives a good picture. Do you think I need I/R or can I get away without it? (I appreciate you haven't seen the house, I am asking based on the lighting I listed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PThomas Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 I have a photo taken from the scafolding showing the area I want to cover, the EXIF information from the top photo shows a focal length of 6mm - does this equate to the same thing on CCTV cameras?

baywatch Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 RF Concepts are nice people to deal with, phone them up & ask for their recommendation. We've used a lot of CC70 cameras, good unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
