ZoneMinder Forums

Has anyone got experience or recommendations as to a network camera - preferably wireless - that supports infrared, yet meshes nicely with ZoneMinder?

A friend of mine wanted me to do a Zoneminder setup at his house, and he mentioned with some enthusiasm a bundle he had seen at Costco of a whole monitoring system which included a couple of cameras with IR LED's.

I don't know of any such cameras however I think _most_ cameras will benefit from an IR illumination source so you always just get an IR light and use regular cameras.

'most' mono cameras can utilise ir light but some are better than others, if your mad keen on ir response you need to look for a 1/2 chip wand check its freq resp graphs

just to let you know that when you got cameras with built in IR you going to get a lot insects wondering in front of your lens- they are attracted from IR- and blocking you lenses this way.


when you got separate IR`s then the insects fly around and make nests on the IR lamp itself not on you lens.

I agree with the above but sperate emitters are usually expensive, but to be honest is the best way to go
