What part of nova? I'm in Culpeper.

Price seems a little high IMO. I'm looking at several CNB VCM-24VF cams for my upcoming install and they can be had for 165 and they are 600 TVL color.

Is there something this camera has that I'm overlooking? I'd be interested if the price was lower and I could pickup depending on yor location.

Panasonic is the boss of analog CCTV.
It would be night and day in back lighting and overall image quality between this and the CNBs.
Ignore the TVL as both cameras will have similar total effective pixels.
But pixels are not everything.
The CNB may see more in low light though, but with that comes alot of noise.

When purchased new, these cameras cost 4x the cost of the CNBs.

Among other things, the 484 has auto-backfocus, and Panasonic's SuperDynamic III, which blows away just about anything else in harsh backlighting situations. In our restaurant installs, all our analog cams are VCM-24VFs... except those watching the front door, which are WV-CW504s (and their predecessor, the 484, before that).

Considering these things went for around $800 new, $190 is a pretty screamin' price, especially if you need their special functions.

These definitely have a better picture than the CNB, and have a WDR function for extreme backlighting that works well. Not as sensitive as the CNB but a higher quality camera. i still have a 484 (inside) on my basement door that looks out - into sun in the afternoon but it looks normal. The CNB will not work as well in that situation. Also has an auto back focus so it is perfect day and night (edit - oops guess that was mentioned already). CNB you will need IR corrected lenses to get that good of a picture.

The CNB TDN cameras, and the 484, both come with IR-corrected lenses. And TDN camera that doesn't shouldn't even be considered. ABF isn't a fix for a non-IR-corrected lens.
