Re: Minimum FPS for CCTV system



Jim,

Some webcams are terrible in low light - many need 10 to 20 lux to get a
de=
cent image - mainly CMOS ones.  CCD webcams are better - ie. Philips
Toucam=
.  What I'm getting at is that for =A325+VAT you can get a very good
1.3Mpi=
xel 1/3" CMOS webcam (Trust)
CCTV manufactures don't seem to have a higher spec equivalent.
Ignore me - I'm just thinking out loud !!! :o)
