If you are at the same range as the DTE energy person in the image above, a 4 or 5 megapixel Canon will work well too. High resolution images from digital cameras need to be compared with the ~0.3 megapixel quality available by most security cameras. > 2.I would I like to mount the camera inside the house and shoot through a window and window screen. Similar to your entry photo, my intruder would be about 10-12 feet from the camera. Do you think shooting through the window and screen would work? Yes, the pictures above were taken while mounted inside through a window. > 3.How did you mount your camera? I mounted the camera with an adjustable articulated arm, normally used for ham radios in cars. I've found these at ham radio swaps for around $15 each, but don't know if there is a source for them online. > 4.In reading via the Zonetrigger link you provided, is your solution, taking a “still” photograph, considered a “USB camera (webcams)” application? Kinda, but the ZoneTrigger software is primarily marketed at users of "USB webcams", ZoneTrigger interfaces specifically with PSRemote for use with full-fledged Canon digital cameras. -Rob]]>Sun, 08 Jun 2008 15:10:05 +0000http://rob.sun3.org/misc/high-resolution-security-cameras/#Comment5http://rob.sun3.org/misc/high-resolution-security-cameras/#Comment5Mon, 26 May 2008 12:13:24 +0000http://rob.sun3.org/misc/high-resolution-security-cameras/#Comment4http://rob.sun3.org/misc/high-resolution-security-cameras/#Comment4Tue, 13 May 2008 19:49:23 +0000http://rob.sun3.org/misc/high-resolution-security-cameras/#Comment3http://rob.sun3.org/misc/high-resolution-security-cameras/#Comment3Thu, 01 May 2008 09:17:38 +0000http://rob.sun3.org/misc/zimbra-on-a-vps-stepbystep/#Comment2http://rob.sun3.org/misc/zimbra-on-a-vps-stepbystep/#Comment2Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:11:47 +0000http://rob.sun3.org/misc/zimbra-on-a-vps-stepbystep/#Comment1http://rob.sun3.org/misc/zimbra-on-a-vps-stepbystep/#Comment1
