Can anyone suggest an IP camera with a CAT 5 interface, which can work at very
low levels of light, ie LUX 1 or below, if it is waterproof it would be an
advantage.

Thanks

Are you thinking of using this for some kind of security purpose?


John.

The Axis range will do what you want. Also Mobotix.

At F2, no sign of a DC iris lens so daylight performance might be
compromised.

Where is this camera to be used, inside or out? Outside is a very
demanding enviroment from the exposure point of view, a fixed iris
lens isn't really suitable. Under controlled or indoor situations it's
not so much of an issue.

Axis have recently introduced a new camera, the 211 (don't confuse it
with the 2110), that looks very interesting. It has F1.0 DC iris lens
and covers 0.75 to 500,000 lux. And a 1/4" Sony HAD CCD rather than a
CMOS sensor, pity it's not a 1/3" CCD.

Pity there are no sample images from any of those cameras, the "live
view" needs a plugin.

... and there is a waterproof housing you can use for various
cameras)

Using a housing is a fairly normal way of protecting a camera rather
than the actual camera casing being weather proof.

A German company I believe.

Aye, and going for at least few years. They don't push the LAN side
though more the ISDN interface, which maybe why they didn't pop up on
google.

Very happy with it, but quite expensive (=A3700).

A good network camera is not cheap. I tried (not very hard) to find
the price of the Axis 211 last night but couldn't. I expect it will be
=A3600 +/- =A3200. later Not bad guess, Simply have 5 instock at =A354=
6.38
(inc VAT).
