wozzzzza 0 Posted April 1, 2012 I have a pool area 40m long from where the camera will be mounted and 30m across. I want to be able to get a good analogue day/night camera 24VAC around 560TVL atleast that will see OK at day and night in pitch dark with the aid of infrared LEDS i will place around the area to illuminate the place for the camera. The camera will be outside and exposed to the elements but under a small cover, but will get splashed by heavy rain when windy. I dont know what type of camera to get, anyone recommend a decent one they ahve had a good experience with in similar situations. whether a dome or a box type camera in a container, i dont know whats best, help me out a bit. Needs to be reasonably secure so it doesnt get flogged in seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted April 1, 2012 Here you go: CNB VCM-24VF Dual-voltage, 600TVL, 2.8-10.5mm varifocal, IP66-rated vandal-resistant dome (put it out in direct weather if you want). Outstanding low-light performance with minimal ambient light, or add some external IR illuminators, or better, low-power motion-activated floods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wozzzzza 0 Posted April 7, 2012 how about this one? jsut came across this, looks ok, but is it?? http://www.samsung-security.com/products/security-cameras/analog-cameras/box-cameras/scb-2000.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted April 7, 2012 Looks "okay" except it's "electronic day/night", meaning no ICR filter. Minimum illumination day or night is 0.05 lux, whereas the CNB listed above is 0.05 lux in day/color mode, 0.005 lux in night/B&W mode... meaning you get a WAY better picture at night. Also, since it probably has a fixed cut filter, the Samsung won't be able to take advantage of IR illuminators. The Samsung also doesn't include a lens, and being a box camera, you'll need an outdoor enclosure for it, so factor the cost of those into your total.
