Guest deefadog Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Can you get a dome covers that can fit over a small outdoor camera, so that the camera and ir's can see through, but they look dark from the outside? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I doubt it. First of all, any dark domes will presumably reduce the effectiveness of the IR. How do you propose to mount the dome over a standard camera?

Rich Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 You can get dome units as used for PTZ domes and mount standard cameras inside, the only problem if you want to use IR lighting is that it will reflect back inside the dome and will probably be no good, Saying that you can get mini vandal dome housings with IR cameras inside, no idea how well they work though but the dome covers are very small and the ones ive seen are smoked.

Guest deefadog Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks for the replies, it was just a thought, i would rather have the camera a bit more stealth is it were, as it's fitted outside a bungalow and within arms reach, well long arms reach If i had the dome that would not reflect back the ir's it could get a suitable bracket made up to secure it! btw it the camera is quite small (those cheap **** of ebay) as you guyz call them but to be honest it really does have a nice picture and does what i need it to do!

Rich Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think for future a better solution than a camera with integrated IR led's would be to use a seperate IR led lamp and a bullet day/night camera, one advantage would be that the IR leds wont directly reflect light back from cobwebs into the camera lens.

Guest deefadog Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yes rich think you are spot on there! I'll stick this one around the back and get seperates for the front! Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I tested had a clear dome and used a rubber grommet around the camera that was stuck onto the dome to stop any light between the ir led Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
