Hi,
I have a problem for which i have no answer untill now.
One of my ckients, wants to replace the CCTV system he has now whith a megapixel one. My probem is that it is very important to have high quality image in the night, and from what i have tested, the image is as poor as the one he has on the system he has now (700 TVL Effio).
Can you recommend me a solution that has a good view in the night?
Is the CCD better than the CMOS?
I have one client that has a lot of issues with low light as well... we've been using a couple models of 3xLogic 2MP cameras that work fairly well while staying in color:


Over the next while, I'll be testing a few others on one of their sites, including Axis, Vivotek, Panasonic, and maybe a Pelco as well.
I recently replaced an Arecont on another of their sites with a Vivotek and was quite impressed with the results:
NIGHT:
Arecont BEFORE:

Vivotek AFTER:

DAY:
Arecont BEFORE:

Vivotek AFTER:

The downside is that none of these come particularly cheap: MSRP on these START at around $800... the Vivotek street price breaks four digits, I think.
