RE: Security Camera question

["David Claxton" <UKHA@xxxxxxx>]

I don't particularly need colour. I just thought it would be nice to have
and make for more identifiable screenshots. But if it's a case of colour
over low light quality then low light quality wins. The idea of switching
on
the light when the camera detected movement was what I was planning to do,
that's why I was hoping that the streetlight would be enough for colour
camera illumination.

Are the 'low light B&W (0.001 lux)' cameras you talk about the mini cam
ones. If so is it possible to throw up an example pic somewhere?

Hi David,

Do you need colour? The RF Concepts low light B&W (0.001 lux) cameras
are
excellent for this application. I have one on my driveway and the street
lighting is ample. Granted, not so good for identification but this will
always be the case with low light. Best idea is to use these with a flood
light that gets switched on when the camera detects movement (via external
software of course) This is what I plan to add once I get it all setup.

I've been looking at one of these
http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/mini_colour_audio.htm
for just above the front door of my house. I was wondering if anyone had
any
experience of these types of mini cams.

Also, I know this question is a bit hit and miss but, can anyone tell me
how
much light is needed to still get a decent picture on a colour camera. I
have a street light directly opposite my front door, will that be enough
or
will I always need my front light on.

Thanks in advance.
