Will this work to get a clear night picture of a person from 150 ft? What kind of a DVR do I need?

I use this camera and it was installed with UL Litsted RG6/U Siamese 1000 ft. Coaxial CCTV Cable - Combo RG6/U + 18AWG/2 Power. The HD night and day images are simply amazing up to 164 feet!!! Therefore there was NOT ANY noticeable differences in the HD quality in the 1694 coax cable or the Siamese cable mentioned. I've tried both.

This camera would give you a clear night picture of a person from 150ft away. You must be zoomed in and focused in order to capture the best quality. If zoomed out and try zooming in after recording, pixels will start distorting. This camera outputs hdsdi or composite video. For HD quality video 1694 coax cable is recommended instead of the standard coax and siemese cables sold. Hope this is helpful.

The res is excellent, more like 720p! Best cams money can buy, trully great! Good luck, night vision is amazingly clear. &#128077;&#128077;

The camera has a built in wireless transmitter for image data. The camera has no output jacks. The monitor that comes with the system does have both an AV output jack and an USB port for connecting to a PC. As to the connectivity with the Night Owl DVR I am not sure as I am not familiar with it. As to the photo range it will see several hundred feet though the image will be small. The motion detector is good for about 20 to 30 feet.

John, We have this cam in our one year olds room. Cam about 10 ft from her bed, I can zoom in pretty close. With that said, the closer you get the more distorted the video becomes. I would not recommended the cam for surveillance, you would not be able to identify anyone. Hope this helps.

Yes, this camera works. It does not have night vision build in. So you need to light up the area you are recording. You can connect this direct to your PC thru network.

It's not the DVR, it's your cameras. You need to get cameras with better night vision.

I would NOT use this outdoors. That being said most cameras rated for outside use and dvr's have motion detection recording as an option. Furthermore, something that has an IR system will not matter if your light comes on or not. Also, keep in mind, if you put a camera too close to a light you may actually degrade the quality of the image you are trying to record as all of that light close to the camera will throw off the image that is darker.

Resolution is not 1080p but very good and clear. The night vision is really good . Good enough for a convection on a burglary at my business.Local police talked about how good it was but not good enough to read a license plate in the dark . You will have to spend alot more money than this if that is what you need !!!

It all depends on how detailed you want to see. I would recommend 80 feet to get a clear image that you can at least identify a person with daylight.

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

Night owl system DVR records only analog cameras; this camera is a HDSDI megapixel camera and doesn't work well on analog systems.Please purchase the following camera instead:GW Security Surveillance Video 900TVL CCTV Outdoor Security Camera, 2.8-12 mm Varifocal Lens, 72 Piece LED, 196-Feet IR DistanceThere is no special adapter needed because this camera carries BNC connection on it.

There is no DVR. Link to the one I use. Do not know your price range. I use this in my PI Investigations.http://www.cheatersspyshop.com/lawmate-pv-500-lite-body-worn-pocket-dvr-w--screen.html?utm_source=lawmate-pv-500-lite-body-worn-pocket-dvr-w--screen&utm;_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm;_campaign=googleproducts&gclid;=CjkKEQjwzv-cBRD_oY2PouKVvMIBEiQAKuGNCyaDGF6-LC0ZDBJuSpiC3VKpOOGFRK9MNDZX44R0Zhnw_wcB

This item is a camera only. You'll need a dvr to hook the camera up to. At least that is my understanding. The plugs on the camera aren't the same kind of plugs that are on any mac I have seen. This camera is 700 tvl, so to take full advantage of the higher resolution, you'll have to spend at least $300 on an Hi Def DVR. I bought a DVR that is not HD, and I can't make out license plates from the cars passing 25 ft in front of my house.

I get good resolution through a window and also at night if you turn the ir lights off. Recording should be the sane though I don't know if the motion sensor would work to initiate recording.

Yes, I use mine for that. Don't expect setting up program recordings to be as easy as cable DVR. The set up for program recording is not very user friendly but it does the job. Antenna cable attachment is easy. Output to the TV is easy as well. Just read the user manual to set up.

It is AC powered so you have to plug it in to AC outlet or extension cord. The motion detect is done via dvr. It will work during the day from behind a window but not at night since IR will reflect off the glass and washout the picture
