I dont know what you have I have no distances and I have no lighting information, so I may as well pick things at random. and hope I stumble across the solution.I dont see the dials/ meter faces. I cant be cretain that the image you have is wrong because the camera is the wrong spec of that its setup incorrectly.
I can take you to a million different sites and how cameras set up correctly for the job and the same camera doing something similar and not setup correctly, I can also show you the wrong camera for the job that is wanted from the customer.
lots of posts across the net buy a camera and dont have it properly specified you will find it either over kill or not capable.
when you zoom in some have automatic focusing and some manual, how crisp you get what depends on these factors being optimised
keep picking things at random means a lot of sending back if you dot get the right kit specified and tuned in.
Recent conversation over a CCT request:-
I want 4 cameras how much?
What do you want them to be able to do?
I want hik something decent?
Hik have thousands of cameras what do you want them to do, we work to DORI, explained what that was, so what do you want it to do?
I want 4 cmaeras something decent?
Sorry but we dont do 4 cameras, we specify for the job they need to do, including distance they want which part of DORI to apply and how long they want storage and what the lighting conditions are, that will determine the NVR as we dont do analougue nd then how long do you want the footage to last and that determines the HDD size?
Never mind don't bother?
Professionally speaking, being offered 2,4,8 camera systems of the same camera on 1TB HDD is not they way to do security cameras, but you need to get the right solution for your budget. I saw a budget system the other day in a cafe that want working, got it fixed, it was capable of ID at the point furthest from the camera that was possible, and day or night, which is perfect for them, but they are all the same camera and the area covered by each camera is relatively small.
I have seen sites with 16 cameras and each one being an absolute pile of rubbish for the job they wanted it to do.
They had a small budget, at the time, set up one camera and upgraded to HVR, to take old cameras and the new one along with the ability to upgrade all the cameras later, they have caught an offender they were arrested, and awaiting court proceedings to take place, the problem they had has gone away as the word got out that they will be caught. That single camera saw the suspect arrested, charged. other cmeras have been ugraded as a result, because the right camera for the job makes all the difference.
Unfortunately justice is dam slow, waiting for the court case as until then cant publish the images.
The customer was lets say were extremely happy with, the police have caught and arrested the offender, they were even more impressed the evidence is good enough to go to court! But better still for them the problem they had has gone away because the right camera did its job properly as it was set up properly!
That starts with right information to specify the camera, then it setting up correctly, its as simple as that!
