There is always room for improvement, but so far this is the best overall view and driveway cam for the price I could find. Disclaimer: IMHO.This looks like it is going to be a good candidate for my next camera for use just like @klasipca for the driveway. The video looks really nice and clean for nighttime image quality. I bet it could be even better if that soffit wasn't in the view (top right) causing some bounce-back.
Are most of the kinks worked out yet in the firmware to the point that it is time to get one of these?
Every time I see the records it wants me to own 1 or 2 more haha. Looks nice.
Is the "ghosting" handled now. I mean when someone passes by in lower light circumstances?
This looks very nice
I will see what I can do.@klasipca do you have video using the updated firmware showing people walking quickly at various distances at night? I know the original firmware was useless for moving subjects. I'll be moving my Huisun MiniPTZ soon and I've relocated the original Hik 3345-I so I'm considering another driveway cam with decent night capabilities.
Hi everyone. Is this still the good link to purchase this camera? Thanks.

That's right! Chinese New Year is coming up. I should know this. I just came home from Taiwan 2 days ago. I should wait a few weeks before ordering.

Managed to capture an intruder
I turned off flood light, so it's pretty dark in there and about 40 feet from where I am standing, just the IR which is too overpowering in close range. I either need to mount it higher or... well, no other option really...
Also, I enabled some feature called defog in this test to make the scene darker.
Nope, the scene around gets darker, but face still washed out, I've tested standing there for 30 seconds, nothing happened.Looks like there is smart IR, I can see it dimming towards the end. It just takes a while to dim down which is something I see on my hikvisions as well.
Btw, I think I know that intruder !!
I think smart ir is just a gimicky name for auto exposure. It's probably not increasing the exposure time enough.Nope, the scene around gets darker, but face still washed out, I've tested standing there for 30 seconds, nothing happened.
Exactly, notice that he is identifiable once he gets to the side of the frame, same deal with Longse if you are off center hot spot it's betterI think smart ir is just a gimicky name for auto exposure. It's probably not increasing the exposure time enough.
Same kind of issue here, go to 1:55
