Chutney ferret 0 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just to let anyone know who has been reading this thread that you can purchase a 16mm board lens off amazon which I think is the same as the one being used in this thread for only a few quid. Here's the number http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006SX31AY/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 i am wanting to build a nv setup but instead of the tv screen would like to use a mini dvr and the camera plugs into that and runs off the dvr battery just like the one nite hunter makes but i am not sure what camera i would need to us can any of you guys help me out i have never done anything like this so i am stumped . cheers kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest scramble Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 It can be done Kev but you'd be better off buying a small battery to run the camera from. these things come very small. i have my set up running off 1 6800mha battery. that runs the camera and my 50mm illiminator with an oslon IR. My DVR obviously runs from its own internal battery. Can i ask why you want to run it through your DVR? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

actionman333 15 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) these are the DVR's i use,the 720 HDVR bullet cam kits....i expect you can get cheaper (chinese) ones,the bullet cam gets its power from the actual DVR unit so no need for extra batteries....the cam is a 1/3" sony type so is pretty good sensor wise and give a brilliant picture day and night.You may have to change the lense in the cam for a 12 or 16mm (depending whats in it when you buy it). If you already have the DVR just have a look on ebay for a cheaper bullet cam. http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/mini_dvr.htm Edited January 17, 2014 by actionman333 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

E700 is what you'll be wanting if you dont mind a bit more work to get your NV unit put together. Watecs are perfect for plug and play 200+ yards with the right IR. if foxing is what you want then you'll not beat the E700 with IR pass filter removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you want to shoot a fox at 300 yards??? Did you remover the ir filter on the E700? ive not got any footage at 300 yards as i dont shoot anywhere near those ranges, not even close. im sure there's footage of people using there E700 at 200+ at high magnification. what size IR are you using 66?

Not a fan of the photon myself but the only time ive used one the conditions weren't the best, but for the price its hard to beat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
