Thats more of what I was looking for. Good find Craig. Anyone have any actual experience with this enclosure? Also Rory, what have you used in that Bahamas heat. Do you see camera baking being a problem with enclosures this small?

That’s funny, I am looking for the same kind of enclosure myself. The camera I have is a Sanyo VCC-4594 with AI lens. That Samsung enclosure looks great but the specs say "Use: Indoor". Any other small outdoor enclosures that someone can reccomend?

The weather has been bad the past few days. I will try and get out this weekend and take some measurments and some pictures.

I haven't purchased the camera yet. I just tested the area with the UF500 and my existing EX46 with a color monitor. I was just saying the strenght and glow of that 730nm UF500 filter is strong. I'm thinking about switching to the 830nm or 950nm UF500 filter.

I still haven’t decided on a camera yet. I have been testing with my EX46. Right now I am almost leaning back toward extreme again. You guys were right about the strength of that 730nm filter, it’s almost too strong. I have been doing some testing with the UF500 and my EX46. I'm thinking about selling the 730nm filter or swapping it out with someone for a 830nm or 930nm filter. Anyone interested? Also if I change the filter to a 830nm or a 950nm will that change anyone’s recommendation? Any dealers want to PM me a price on a EX27MX or a 830nm 30 degree filter?

I have one slightly used UF500 730nm 30 degrees filter I would like to sale or swap for an 830nm or a 950nm 30 degrees filter. Thanks

Rory, I’m almost considering the box camera. Your UF500 example: Was with the Sanyo Day/Night right? What were the specs on the UF500 you used for that application, 30 degrees / 850 nm? What specs should I look for, for a good IR corrective lens? From Tamron I was thinking maybe: http://www.tamron.com/cctv/prod/13vg308asirsq.asp From Fujinon I was thinking maybe: http://www.fujinoncctv.com/pdfs/cctv0904/YV27x29LR4A-SA2.pdf LOL, I’m still waiting on someone to contact me regarding pricing on the Fujinon. The funny thing is that I can’t find a place online that sells their IR corrective lenses.

Rory, any recommended dealers that I can get pricing on the Fujinon IR lenses? Also has anyone used any of the Tamron IR lenses? http://www.tamron.com/cctv/infrared.asp

Rory, I found some previous posts where you mentioned using Sanyo Day/Night cameras. Did you use a vcc4794 or a vcc4594 or have you used both? Also which lense did you use in those applications? Thanks

Any particular models for the Fujinon or the Extreme CCTV lenses you would recommend? Anyone else have any experiences with cameras and lens types for UF500 installations?

Thanks for the responses, I picked up the UF500 from a liquidation sale. The UF500 came with the UF500.001 power supply. I have around three quarters of an acre that I would like to illuminate (well at least as much as I can). The UF500 and camera will reside at the back of my property and will diagonally cover my back yard and the back of my house. If I can get home early enough before it gets dark here I will try to grab a picture and post it. Rory, thanks for the post. I was thinking about an EX27. I assume that the EX27MX is the best to use out of the EX27 line? Also, what IR corrective lens options would you recommend for a box camera?

Thanks CSG, that’s something worth trying. I could use a couple of external supplies to play with anyways so I might try that out this weekend. Rory, I will probably take you up on that email if the above doesn’t correct the issue. PS: The ALTV1224C power supply is rated at 7.0 amps total. 3.5 amp @ 12VDC & 3.5 amp 24VAC The power consumption rates on the cameras are: 3103 - 110ma EX46N - 220ma EX10S - 120ma Thanks again!

I'm fairly new to IR applications and have recently picked up a UF500 to illuminate my back yard and the back of my house. I could really use some suggestions on cameras and lenses from anyone who as experience with UF500 installations. The UF500 I have is the: UF500.301 (730nm, 30 degree beam)

Rory, I tried switching the EX10 to the 12vdc connection on the ALTV1224C. The picture on both cameras still had scan lines but not as bad as before. For grins I moved the EX46 to a 12vdc connection on the ALTV1224C and instantly the line problems on both cameras disappeared. The problem must have something to do with the cameras running at 24vac together. I think the only thing that I’m loosing by running 12vdc is the built in IR capabilities of the EX46N. I will probably give Extreme a call in the next few days to see what they have to say about the configuration. I can’t be happier ridding the problem though! Couldn’t have done it with out your help! Thanks!

Both the EX46 and the EX10 are using 24VAC on the same power supply.
