ulterior_motive 0 Posted September 19, 2011 I have bothers you all many times and now i have a Final question, hopefully my next thread will be my install. it was decided that i would go ahead with dbm-24vd's for my entire setup. So i ordered one and i gave it a try, and i found that i have little to no light in my showroom and this camera will not function for me. So i called the supplier i purchased the test unit from and they suggested the following. INITIAL CAMERA WHICH I DECIDED http://www.cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1067 SUGGESTED CAMERAS DUE TO LITTLE TO NO LIGHT http://www.cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1166 http://www.cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1165 I tested the DBM-24VD on my QVIS and i LOVED IT. So i want to stay within the CNB brand due to accessibility, quality, and reasonable price point for 16 cameras. Unfortunately time is of a factor here, so the sooner i can get an answer the better it is for my situation. As always, thanks ahead of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted September 19, 2011 Yep, for little to no light, you will need some IR, and both of those cameras have IR. I would guess that the IR on that camera is good for about 20-30' so keep that in mind. You may need to install a few in order to get good coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Judging by the IR LED count, I'd say its good for more like 40' (comparing to what I have). Both of the suggested cameras will be great for your scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ulterior_motive 0 Posted September 19, 2011 So long story short i cant go wrong with either camera suggested to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike_va 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Quick glance, I'd go with the LFM-20VF due to the split glass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 19, 2011 Problem with the CNB Turret IRs is they are not white - most ceilings are white. Check out another brand of Turret IR if you want white. Otherwise, if you dont need to manually adjust the lens, http://www.cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1169 I had bad luck with all the CNB IR Bullets I tested, hopefully their new domes are better. I Did try one of their White Vandal IR domes, it was fine for the job, it had maybe 20' of IR though, nothing very useful for most outdoor apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
