james.wilson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 ok for starters no camera can see in total darkness. You can either use full on Image intensification which is very expensive or you can provide some light. that light can be visible (white light) or with an ir sensitive camera ir can be infra red light. first up you need to sort out your capture (ie camera and associated lighting etc) then you can look into recording securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Lwillis Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yea sorry did t explain that very well . What I ment to say was very low light . I've used then for a few years now and have had good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 im sure with a static image you have. Have you tried the same at low light with movement in the image? ie a target etc you would want to capture? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

james.wilson Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The problem is any camera needs light. The cameras that claim silly low light levels achieve this by slowing the shutter down. Looks wonderful when nowt is moving. As soon as anything does it looks like you have a ghost in shot. IF you see anything at all. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Alarmtek Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Agreed, you do need appropriate lighting and PROPER lighting at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
