What is the viewing distance for night vision?
775546
Hi Scott, Well, after installing several of the cameras, I have found the picture quality lacking in general. I installed with both the cables they supplied as well as serpentine POC coaxial cable in some areas rather than what they supplied due to distances I needed to run lines, and both are not good pictures. These are being used in a church environment, and we have a lot of interference from wireless devices and networks, so possibly affecting things here. May be a component/driver strength issue or an interference issue...not sure If using for home/smaller office, it may perform better. As for our environment, I am migrating to network based POE box cameras since DVR's have just not worked that well, and we've had numerous. I have had to replace them pretty much annually...hard drive crashes, firmware problems, power/fan problems, etc. Have only had this one a few months, so no problems thus far. Long range costs are just not worth replacing DVRs so often for our purposes any more. Sorry don't have better answer for your specific question.

Hi, I recommend you to check the Optoma website distance calculator. http://www.optomausa.com/support/calculator/

The camera is at an angle. I was able to shim the opposite side of the smoke detector mounting base to increase the horizontal perspective by several degrees. I can see an extra 15 feet or more by making this adjustment. This is a low end camera with no night vision. The resolution is diminished over greater distances. I still like mine anyway.

so far i've looked about 100 yards without a problem. If you are looking directly at the unit and know what you're looking for there is a minimal IR glow that can be dimmed with the touch of a button

Depending upon ambient light and surface reflectiveness, but anywhere from 30-60 feet for small object, and slightly farther for large objects. Indoors it will see an entire room with good clarity. Outdoors it is more limited.

the distance veries,depending on the amount of moon light-reflective objects-generaly speaking,on average--about 30 ft.-hope this was helpful-if u have a set of these cameras,you will began to understand what you can expect to see from each camera at nite as they will all be defferent.hope this was helpful,thes are the best cameras on the market for the money.I have 2 4camer systems,1 8 camera system,

Brian, just measured distance of infrared at night. I get a distance of 45' do not have any leaves or tree limbs in the way of night vision as this will decrease the distance. Do some more research on a better camera, hope this helps.

The night vision is very good on this camera. For every one LED light you get 2 feet of vision. So if you have 36 LEDs then you will get close to 72 feet. Needless to say I really like this camera. Sony super had ccd2 lens are better though

I've gone out at night with it and I can see the green dot as far as I am able to see due to obstructions in the area. I guess it was about 200 yards. Of course the dot is easier to see if you're not in direct sunlight but you are still able to pick it up looking through the scope.

Sorry, forgot to mention that at the viewing distance, you probably need to be around 5 ft from screen for the 30". And about 10ft for the 60".

yes, it have a night vision but it is good between around 10 and 15 feet. But on this range it is realy good.

Not night vision, the only difference is that you can use it with NVGs the dot dimms to green.

I use the 20/20 for coyote hunting, I set in the crossroads they are about 350 yds. and I can see the end of each road. Can see something moving cant tell what. But at 200 yds. I can see the yot. good. all on average night. no IR set 12 frame, 3/4 gan, white screen, 3 back light, don't use the eye you look in scope on rifle with

You won't need it with night vision. And I don't think it would if you use the green led.

You can see nice and clear in front of you up to about 20 feet all the way to the camera. Once you walk under it your out of range. Better then I thought it would be as far as the TV lines. For the price it's a pretty clear hidden camera.

Yes, the biult-in IR illuminator allows one to see pretty well up to 30 yards when in near complete darkness. But you don't want to look at the ground in front of your feet 'cause the image you see is not true 1x. Bascially the ground will look closer than it actually is when using the NVD and it is hard to not stumble when navigating this way. Use one eye with the device to look ahead, use the other to glance at what is in front of your feet. If its too dark to see whats in front of you with your unaided eye, then tuff luck. A good headleamp may be more pratictal for trail walking.
