CCTV at night

["Charlie Brown" <charlie.brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

OK, I didn't do my homework very well.  I have a digital video recorder with
one wireless miniature camera attached, I did this initial set up because I
wasn't sure how good it was going to be.  It works fine but has a range of
about 20m instead of the 100m spec, but the signal is going through a couple
of walls.  I now want to add cameras to it (3 more spare ports) but the
dealer tells me I need IR cameras if I want to record at night, they all
look a bit chunky and I like the discrete miniature type.  Is there a way
where I can use the miniature cameras but use separate IR lighting?  The
dealer says you can't do this, you need the IR cameras.

Can anyone help?


TIA
