    Brand/model suggestions, 8MP/2.8mm.

    Thanks I appreciate the info! That makes a lot of sense regarding the sensor size. I haven't reached out yet as I need to educate myself more regarding sensor to mp ratios but this camera through his amazon store is looking interesting, Motorized lenses make me a little nervous typically but I'd...

    Brand/model suggestions, 8MP/2.8mm.

In it's current state it can't really handle 1 camera so I'd like to do an upgrade. Below is what I have. Currently: CPU: i3-3105 Board: Supermicro X8SI6 Ram...
