Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys did for instances where you use a box camera externally? I'm trying to setup a new box camera with a 11-40mm lens (HV1140D-8MPIR) connected to a Hikvision DS-2CD4065F-A camera. I checked out Hikvision's site for camera housings but they seem not to included any IRs on the box. I'm putting the camera for a electronic gate that is pretty dark and there won't be sufficient lighting for it to see anything without some IR illuminators or light.
Should I install some type of floodlight or light source for the camera or should I go with the camera housing that has built-in IRs on it? If I do go that route, would the PoE be enough to power the box plus the camera? I don't think it would be.
