Robert8252 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) So been bumming around and realized I don't have a damn clue what to look for, for a good security camera for outside to watch my car at night. Anyone use one or have a idea what to look for? Infared w/ nightvision is what I'm looking for with a pretty good picture quality and more viewing range the better. Car sits at the back of my backyard inside a privacy fence which also has a motion sensor spotlight on the parking area. Want a camera (probably wireless) that will hook right into my computer to DVR the video. Any help? Price range would prefer less then $200 Edited August 12, 2010 by Robert8252 Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I dont know much about wireless cameras but a simple ebay search brought up a couple possibilities. http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Outdoor-Day-Night-Wireless-Infrared-Camera-/300359764727?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 http://cgi.ebay.com/INFRARED-WIRELESS-LONG-RANGE-NIGHT-VISION-SPY-CAMERA-/390219322793?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 http://cgi.ebay.com/WiFi-Wireless-Waterproof-36LED-IR-IP-Camera-Infrared-x2-/220612517163?pt=PCA_Video_Conferencing_Webcams Quote 1999 Chevy Tahoe Level 4 15" AP 3000d Rockford and Phoenix Gold Componets T400.2 Mechman 250 amp Rhino 2 Kinetik 2400 GET LOUD : STAY LOUD : SLAP RESPONSIBLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Be careful of what you choose for security cameras. The only thing worse then no camera is one you cant see shit on. Some things to consider in choosing a day / night camera. TVL of 480 anything less degrades resolution. A 0 Lux camera means that it will see better in the dark then one of a higher lux the worse it is in the dark. For IR to work, a camera must be black & white or a color that switches to black & white at night. Watch out for build in IR leds. They typically aren't as strong as a separate IR LED unit.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98 SNAKE EATER Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 You can get a mobile DVR and color night vision camera for less than $200 bucks easy Set it to record by motion and you're good to go I currently have a switched 5 camera system that runs 24/7 and records by motion and plan on adding another 4 channel DVR Cheap wide angle EBay cameras work fine and it doubles as security for my house or shop when I park out front and have the cams in their direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
