[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 435818, member: 250"] You need to think what it is you are wanting to achieve with your cameras... e.g. just to deter someone from coming on you premises... if so a dummy camera may work? or have some evidence to identify someone who has broken in, so that you can prosecute... I suspect if you are looking for option 2 you may be a bit disappointed at the lack of clarity validity and acceptance your potential filming may have with local police etc.. Traditionally with analogue cameras, black and white can give better clarity of the image in low light.. But you lack things like the colour of clothes worn to assist with identifying someone. Whereas colour cameras give more detail to help identify someone but they need better light levels to work to a satisfactory standard,... e.g. you probably need additional floodlight triggered by movement to help a colour camera. not sure if this is still true with IP cameras??? I assume so.... be interesting to hear others thoughts? :popcorn [/QUOTE]
