'CCTV' Camera Reccomendation

[chrisbyrd]

Hi All

I've had a bit of an odd request, but it sounds quite fun...

The pub round the corner want me to hook up a camera so they can watch the darts board in the small back room (not much spectator space) on the TV in the main\front room

Hooking it up isnt a problem, but I'm not sure exactly what 'spec' to look for which will give a good enough picture to make it worth while doing

Anyone have any reccomendations for a camera about £50 ish?

Thanks

you will not get a really high quality colour camera and lens for £50
but for £50 you may may want to see my post here

ah yeah, that looks like it might do the trick - thanks

Whats the picture quality like on that one? Comparable to anything?

Do you have any experience\idea if that bracket has enough clearence to mount it on the ceiling?

Cheers

depends how bright the ambiant light is. (still if its for a dartboard hopefully there will be a light pointing at the board)

dont know about upside down. its raining here when it stops i will go outside and find out for you.

but assuming you cant you could always mount it on an L bracket.

The _ bit being on the ceiling and the / bit pointing down (can't do a vertical line) then fix the camera to the / bit

been outside, use a bracket fixed to ceiling

we use the dome type cameras in work there better for public places due to the dome casing stoping some one putting the camera out of focus or pulling a lead out
