You need two things to convert it to a true day/night. You need a ICR or ICR LEns and you need a chip that controls the ICR.

Use a camera with a Ex-view chip or if you can find a SuperHAD II chip

If it still doesnt work after it was dried out then the camera circuits were shorted out by the water.

That unit supplies a total of 5 A. So with all 16 channels the load cannot total more than 5A. But you can have 1.1A max on one channel but all other channels must add up to 3.9A max.

Which one is more expensive?

BLC is a poor mans WDR

Just remember that you will get what you pay for.

Never run it parallel within a couple feet of high voltage. If you somehow have to cross the high voltage lines, make sure it is at a 90 degree angle.

Use a pigtail adapter because cutting wires will void warranty.

Just buy a zoom camera only then and buy a weatherproof external housing. Its not worth it to waste time building an external housing. It will cost more in the end. You will have to buy the heating elements, fan, terminal connector blocks and temperature control circuits.

It uses sharp ccd, nuff said

Get a true day/night camera with IR illuminators

If you are using 24vac make sure you have LL (line lock) on.

I've seen this sometimes when I'm fixing cameras at camera company manufacturer i work for . To test if its the lens then pull the Iris plug from the back then if you see a completely black screen then your lens is ok and your camera's iris control is broken. If you see a image then still then it would be your lens would be defective.

that's an expensive wire for residential

Oh yeah make sure the VGA connector is shielded too. I ran 150 ft easily once.

You might need a C-7 low voltage contractor license

Solder on a VGA connector to CAT-5E cable.

Go for a dedicated one

Go with a 8 channel 240 fps standalone that is stackable. Trust me, you dont wanna deal with driver issues and all the other stuff that comes with a computer based system. Plus if its stackable then it will be very scalable for the future.

Yes you need ones with the ICR. If not then the filter in front of the CCD module will be sensitive the the IR in the day time and the colors wont look right.

CCD damaged, buy a new camera
