My detached house has a straight 50 metre driveway, which Id like to monitor and video record. Will a basic domestic camera do the job?
DJ says ” In a word …. No! You will be able to monitor perhaps up to 10 metres from the camera, but it really isn’t designed for this task. A proper industrial camera fitted with a x3 magnification telephoto lens will produce extremely good quality images, and if appropriate, may be installed discreetly inside the house looking out, rather than having to use an expensive weatherproof camera housing, which would be more vulnerable to attack.
