    Default BOSCH IP cams

    Hi all,

    Just browsing eBay and i came across these Bosch IP cams but can't seem to see much info online about them? Just wondering if anyone has used these before / can recommend them?


    Thanks

    Hi mate. This is a 3.1 MP box. In and of themselves, they'll be decent, but they're a far more professional type of camera than your more normal camera, and unless you have an immediate application requiring boxes, you could well end up with dead money.

    PoE is built into the box, but everything else is customised for the application.

    This short list is a few things you'll need to understand

    1> A quick peek at the spec sheet, shows that they take C-mount lenses.(You'll at least need one lens per camera to use them).
    2> If you wanted them for outside, you'll need to pop them into an external housing.
    3> If you need night vision, you'll need to use illuminators.
    4> There's no built in motion sensing usually, so it's a 24 hour stream.
    5> They're over 3 years old, so there's almost sure to be better boxes about, and the technology is likely to be out of date.

    That's not to say they're a bad camera (they're not), but I'd question a person that cannot say read a spec sheet ever buying one, as they'll struggle to understand how to use it. Hope that helps.
