Camera for hallways and backlight

[GRAYSTONE 0]

I have been reading many posts here over the last week or so. There is a lot of expertise and helpful responses to people’s questions. Maybe someone could recommend a few cameras to me, point me in the right direction.

 

I am looking for a camera, or a few different cameras, that would work for my situation. I am looking for some thing that would work well in a building with long hallways, say 100' or so. At the end of most of these halls are exits that let in a lot of light. I have been looking at the Speco CVC-870EX. I like the day/night and varifocal abilities coupled with the price. However, I am concerned about possible backlight issues on sunny days I am looking for something in the $200-$350 price range as I am looking to put up 16 cameras.

 

Any tips, recommendations, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Ganz Wide Dynamic is about the best at this in that price range or the day/night digital from Sunkwang, either way you are going to want a camera that has on screen programmable Back Light Zones

Hi

 

Actually the 870ex is not a real day night camera, it is an Exview low light color. The 7706DNV is a true day night with a mechanical IR cut Filter, slightly higher price. If you still wanted an exview try the CVC-637EX as its almost half the price, fixed lens though:

Or in a Dome:

if not too concerned about lighting or vandals then provideo also has a CVC-646HR High res fixed color dome, not bad picture for the $116 price tag. Its new so hard to locate on the web but dealers are selling them now. 1/3" 3.6mm, 550TVL Color, 0.5 lux.

 

If you are concerned with the back lighting and want a day night at the same time, take a look at the panasonic day night wide dynamic cameras: Price is higher though::

Or a normal wide dynamic camera like the Ultraview from Kalatel, approx $360:
