Looking for a long-range night vision camera.

[Maxwell175]

Hello all,

I am looking for an IP cam that will be able to clearly show objects up to 100 meters away in the dark.
I don't need to be able to zoom in dynamically. It is possible to add an additional IR light closer to the target.

Thanks.

How wide of a field of view do you want? And how much details of the object do you need?
100 meters is hard but it's most feasible when you are willing to accept a narrower field of view and only minimal details.

How about 50 meters? But it must be good enough quality to distinguish face features. The field of view should be as large as possible.

The IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 reaches 88 meters on full zoom for highest level of detail required for "Identify" on the DORI scale. This is also a Starlight camera so night vision will be good.

Use this to determine lens size & FOV. IPVM Camera Calculator V3 Keep PPF>100

How about this: IPC-HFW5231E-Z5? It seems a bit cheaper.
The distance should be about 130ft

That one is fine as well. It just depends on how how zoom you want. The Z12 is only a little bit more$$
