How Far can your CCTV camera See?

How Far can your CCTV camera See?

I was often asked as an installer, or when I was working for a manufacturer "how far can the camera see" !

My answer was often the moon, sun or distant star!  Then had to explain Sensor Size (Resolution), lens, Depth of field etc. and mention that a camera had to be installed to fit its purpose. Resolution, Lens Type, Wide Dynamic, Infra-red, thermal etc.    

As part of training I was involved with, I Used an image that was taken from a 16 Mega-pixel camera with a Canon 800mm lens and a 1.2 Extender.  The image of the moon is shown above, which shows the power of the Canon lens.

The Insert is a digital zoom, which shows the power of the 16 mega-pixel camera.

Just thought I would share this

Place that baby over 'The Sea of Serenity' and see what comes up'. Will write on this later perhaps. Nice example which is away from the norm. Obviously a person who thinks outside the box. Thanks for sharing Paul.

There are some shots with the new H4PRO 16MP but what I am curious to see is that test with the 7K...

Doesn't capturing images of this resolution require a lot of bandwidth and storage? Come and see what the people responsible for capturing this image are doing in 2015 to complete the missing piece of the megapixel jigsaw!! Secure Logiq IFSEC Stand G310
