Hardware: DS-2CD2432F-IW V5.3.0 build 150513 (2.8mm lens)
Hello does anyone have any tips for reducing the daytime noise I am seeing with my Hikvision camera. I have it on the highest resolution and frankly it has been a bit of a disappointment due to the noise (movement type noise where it looks like the pixels are moving when they are not). It is especially prominent when zooming in 2x+.
As for placement it is inside a 2nd story window looking out at the street in front of the house. The sidewalk is maybe 25-30 feet away (including height). At this distance to be honest the visual quality as far as making out faces is almost equal to my other much cheaper D-link 480p camera (~4mm)! The resolution is 2048x1536 so I expected a bit better than I am seeing.
I'm using Day and night profiles and I've tried playing around with various settings.
Right now I have:
Resolution: 2048*1536
Bitrate type: Constant
Video Quality: Higher (greyed out - unchangeable)
Framerate: 10 fps
Max biterate: 12288 kbps (highest setting)
I frame interval: 20
SVC: OFF
Smoothing: 10
Day settings:
Exposure time: 1/250
Gain: 0 (brightness seems fine like this in day, I set low to try to reduce noise)
Backlight settings:
WDR: ON
Wide Dynamic Level: 70 (at times the camera sees the sun directly in the top view but the area I want is below and has a shadow due to a tree)
White Balance: Natural Light (the camera is inside in the window but the field of vision is outside)
Digital Noise Reduction: ON
Noise reduction Level: 25 (I tried setting this higher up to 100 but it didn't help a lot with the "motion pixel noise" I see and IMO seemed to reduce some of the resolution to pixelate it more.
My main goal is to be able see faces well in the daylight from the sidewalk to the house - That is within about 30 feet easily. In theory with the 2k resolution and broad daylight I think I should be able to achieve this, no?
Please suggest any setting changes to try. Thank you!
