Re: Experience with CCD security cameras

["Julian Samphire" <jules@xxxxxxx>]

Mark,

My bullet cams can be found here:

http://intranet.myautomatedhouse.co.uk/camera.htm?cam=3

and the historic data here

http://intranet.myautomatedhouse.co.uk/camera.cfm

Both are these models http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/vn37.htm
and the images
are captured using Netgator
http://guest:guest@xxxxxxx with
CamSurveillance from www.camsurveillace.com

The drive cam is sitting in a 90degree corner, so you can see the coverage.
I would suggest external IR illumination though as the leds cant really
make
out that much past the front door.

It doesnt suffer from any condensation, and is warm to the touch, so it
removes water quite easily.

HTH

Jules
