ZodiacSecurity Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 has anyone used any of these that actually work well? we have tried a variety from different manufacturers and when viewing back the picture level (depsite assurances of x amount of meters etc) is shocking at best. most seem to fall over at dusk / mid evening time Burglar alarm installers | cctv installers | Access control system installers | wirefree burglar alarm installers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 agreed. The samsung unit seems to work well, but I have never fitted any. In my opinion you need a seperate IR emitter. These built in leds are only any god for short range internal stuff securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Doktor Jon Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's an unfortunate fact that some manufacturers like to build all singing cameras, although if the truth be told, the vast majority are seriously out of tune. As redbull correctly suggests, using separate IR illuminators to produce optimised images will always be the preferred option, amongst those who know what they are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Have to agree as well, interally those with inbuilt IR are good but outdoors anything pasted maybe 5m, usually less forget it.. Even with additional IR lighting there is a limit to how far you can see anyway depending on what type of IR light you put up - spot or flood type.

Neutech Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Seperate IR but if it has to be built in try Basson as theyre built in IR cams are quite good but not cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
