Re: Best Low-Light Low-Cost Security Camera?

["Noweldrecumbent" <noweldrecumbent2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Best low light camera I have used is the Extreme CCTV monochrome cameras.
Check out a shot I just took over the internet from my remote DVR. The
camera is looking through a front window. You can see the siren in the upper
right hand corner of the photo.

Keep in mind the DVR is set at the lowest resolution, at 1 frame per second.
