Dear All,
I have installed in my work place CCTV system with 1/3 Sony cameras and I have Standalone DVR but the quality is really bad, it the people are little bit far always you can not recognize their face. Is there any way that I can improve that? especially during the night..
Thank you,
Tomislav

Quite a mixture of cameras, part of them are 1/4" ccd and 1/3" ccd with zoom camera and PTZ camera, IR camera and space dome. Looks to be all Yoko cameras. Have not used any of these, but the ones I have used have been good.

I havent used these models but have sold & installed Yoko cameras in the past and they were excellent performers.
Have you tried connecting the cameras directly to the monitor to see if it is the cameras or the DVR. What kind of cables are you using, plug & play, RG59 siamese or ?
Do you have adequate lighting? Have you tried adjusting the lenses?
Wide angle lenses will have less detail unless what you are watching is close. If you use tighter lenses you will get better detail but your coverage area will be decreased. Does your DVR have camera adjustments? What kind of DVR do you have?
Some of the budget mpeg4 DVR'S I've tested have had terrible video from live and worse from playback.

One way or another, you pay for what you get.
