    Hikvison colorvu camera

    You all are correct ! I am that noobe that is being fooled by the hype. I need to learn about where to even see the sensor numbers. Focal length seems to be listed. But here is what I have now... my 2mp 3.6f analog cameras. You can see daytime isn't bad, but night certainly is not good.

    What display do you use ?

    There are times when deer are by my driveway and there almost invisible. I obviously need better cameras, but that wasn't my question. I was wondering about burn in from constant live monitoring. And what people are using. I'm working on the cameras, obviously from my other thread. I need...

    2 mp vs 5mp display and ir question

    However, looking at the bnc to poe converters.

    2 mp vs 5mp display and ir question

    I'm afraid my current consumer level cameras / system has no way to adjust anything ... other than brightness, contrast, 2d and 3d noise. And color intensity. (Another reason to upgrade)
