Car daytime telephoto. Same car daytime wide angle. Car nighttime telephoto. Same car nighttime wide angle. See an extreme zoom of a car at day and at night. The car is 650 feet from the camera. See the Google map. At night you can see the car reflectors glowing brightly. The car video is striking with a zoom that is so great it goes from full frame to invisible. This camera is billed as " See in complete darkness up to 200 feet." but we could do much better. See for yourself. The camera that was used in these movies was a CP3653 with 36 times optical zoom and 530 TV Lines of resolution. The movies show the IR illumination effectiveness from 25 to 650 feet away. The quality of this video has been compromised by codex compression and resizing of the original video.

Palm tree daytime telephoto. Palm tree daytime wide angle. Palm tree nighttime telephoto. Palm tree nighttime wide angle A close look at a palm tree at day and at night. The palm tree is 25 feet from the camera and about 90 feet tall. In telephoto mode looking at the top of the tree you can see it sway in the wind. Parts of the palm tree video are better at night than in the daytime. The IR illuminator is bright.

It was simple to connect together and it was easy to get accustom to the touch sensitive joystick. I felt I could get much smoother movements with a bit of practice. The joystick has a knob that twists for controlling the Zoom function, wide angle and telephoto. Over all the pan and tilt motions are fluid and the zoom looks natural. This system was not mounted properly. We had a limited time period to get the movies done. Instead it was just placed on top of a makeshift table. A piece of plywood on two saw horses. This caused the picture to wobble a bit.
