Surveillance Video Forum

Hi All,

I'm in the process of setting up surveillance system in my house.  Currently I'm finishing my basement and ran siamese cable from the 2 floors upstairs and basement rooms to a central location under the basement stairs.  I'm planning to install mini pinhole board cameras, housed inside a motion detector casing and had a few questions.

1.  Will either 520 TVL color (KPC-HD38CSP3) or 600 TVL BW (KPC-S20P4HEX) cameras provide good resolution and angle of view if I need to zoom in using DVR's software zoom?

2.  Since both cameras above come with RCA/BNC connectors, will I be able to easily connect those to my existing cables in the walls if I add a crimp-on BNC connector and a coupler?

3.  Does anyone know where I can get inexpensive motion detector (PIR) cases to house the cameras above?

Thanks,
Gennady

Hi Gennady,

Yes, both cameras are consider very high resolution cameras, so I would recomend both models.   High resolution is especially important since you plan on using the digtal zoom function of the DVR, which will pixelate the picture as you zoom in.

Yes.

I am not sure where you can purchase PIR cases.  But you can always try Ebay , if you are not able to locate any new ones.
