I know there is a fair amount of interest on this forum about cctv.
now cctv cameras, lets be fair the quality isn't really up to much. even a half decent IP camera is just about ok, again nothing special.
why hasn't someone come up with a way to use a digital camera or mobile phone as a CCTV camera?
digital cameras and mobile phones record in HD with good spec sensors - xperia range have a 20mp sensor the nokia pureview has a 41mp sensor.
even a cheap compact camera could record in good enough quality to be able to read a number plate
all the camera has to do is be able to record on an external hard drive, record permanently and if using a mobile phone turn the screen off. is it really that hard to achieve??
anyone got any thoughts?
