    I need suggestions for a Mega pixel cam that will be installed in the same location that I took this picture from. It is approx. 200' to the street, and at the driveway the width is approx 30'. Camera will be about 30' in the air. License plate recognition would be nice if it doesn't break the bank I also would greatly appreciate a recommendation for a NVR or other solution that would allow remote viewing, recording etc... of the IP cam and at least 8 analog cams. There are several wall packs along the top of the building as seen in the Pic, so lighting is not bad, but it isn't great either.

    Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

    CNB contacted me this afternoon and said "they do not have any problems with that camera not switching to Night mode". I told them Ya right!!!!! I am going to contact DWG and see about an RMA and maybe a different camera. Here is a night pic using a 100W halogen in the far upper right hand corner. It wouldn't be that bad if it could accomplish that image with no extra light, like the Mintron.

    Rebadging doesn't matter in the least, you can brand all your cameras with your own company name if you want. Closer you get to manufacturer though, the cheaper it'll be, and more importantly, the more you'll know about the camera.

     

    I've used a 48vdc din rail mount power supply from meanwell and altech which were both identical, down to the installation sheets. Since then I've noticed the exact one re-branded as a few other things... still trying to figure out who the real manufacturer is.

    Has anyone tried this camera from Samsung?

    * 480TV Lines Resolution

    * Minimum Scene Illumination: 0.005 Lux @ 15IRE, Sens-Up x128 (F1.6)

    * 12X Motorized Optical Zoom with 10X Digital Zoom

    SCC-931T is an anti-vandal color dome camera that ensures outstanding observation with excellent color sensitivity and high resolution. The combination of superior imaging and anti-vandal housing assembly make the SCC-931T a perfect solution to areas that require additional protection. Remote control and programming is accomplished via RS-485 communication (half duplex), which allows all cameras in the high impact series to be remotely controlled.

    I would, but from what I have seen Rory post and a couple of other pics, it seems to be the norm. If you supplement the light they are OK, but IMO they are not as good as everyone has made them out to be. The price on them is fairly cheap, especially if you buy them at cost. What do you expect for a $130.00 or so cam???? I guess I was just hoping for something better. You get what you pay for!!! I am thinking of contacting CNB and send them the screen shots, and ask them what the deal is with the cam not switching to BW mode in low light situations. I mean what good is it if it has to be totally dark before it will switch? You can not see color or BW in that situation. I wonder if they could send me a new firmware to flash it with and change the sensitivity?

    Okay ive looked around and it appears the CNB Monalisa cameras are right for me. But i notice they have quite a few models. Im looking to get the flush mount model without a back box so it mounts flush to the soffit of my house. It looks like i want the VCM or the VBM 24VF. I was reading the 20 series does not have the upgraded Monalisa SuperHad chip. But i did notice they do not have built in infrared LEDs. Does that mean i need emitters for the camera to see it total darkness? Also i wanted to make sure these cameras can stand up to 100F summers and 15F winters. It appears on their tech sheets they will but i figure id check with you guys. I see they makes a heater model but i do not think my area gets cold enough to need one. We also get alot of rain and i wanted to make sure they dont have issues with heavy sideways rain. Also the power connector looks different to what im used to. I my cables i ran are those BNC with power where the power adapter hooks up where the BNC cable goes into the DVR. Do they come with a power adapter?

     

    thanks again for all the help, i got an email back from VideoSecu and they said the heat outside fried my chipset and since it only has a 30 warranty they wont honor a free repair on it.. Im looking forward to that 3 year warranty on these CNBs.

     

    Personally I would look to get a different dome. IMO they are horrible in low light situations.

    If you have enough light they are ok, but if you do not they WILL NOT switch to BW mode, hence the first pic. The second pic is decent, but I had to manually switch it to BW and that means no color during the day. Kind of defeats the point of buying a color camera
