Megapixel Ip Camera With Built In Infra Red

I would have thought that this would be a mismatch of technology really. Usually a 5M Pixel camera would be used to have a wide view but built-in IR generally would have a narrow view plus the lower sensitivity to light of the megapixel sensors would reduce the range compared to a similar number of IR emitters on an analog camera afaik.

Example would be those Arecont bullets have a 25 Meter IR range for the 5M pixel bullet with a 45 Degree IR spread. 48 IR emitters on an anolog camera would be usually rated around 40 Meters.

What is the intended use?

Totally agree.

In almost all of our IP installs we specify raytec lighting.

We've even used them internally as there's no decent internal (dome) all-in-one solution available

We're currently testing an Axis lightfinder technology cam (its pretty good)

im thinking low end. I dont like the idea of combining the emitter with the camera either but for lower end stuff it works reasonably well, well better than no emitter at all lol.

Try one of the samsung SNO, there actually quite good for a 1.3M

Thats interesting on the internal ones, would the area be quite large for the install or office area, etc?
