    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    The gain setting is in the exposure menu for me, just under the shutter setting.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Yes, all of the streetlights round here were switched for LED a few years ago, helped massively.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    I also have a similar Dahua camera, the IPC-Color4K-T in 2.8mm, covering some of the same area but looking from a different direction. It is interesting to compare it and the Hikvision - so far I wouldn't say either is significantly better. The tiger stripe effect is strange, I haven't seen...

    Will give that a go tonight, thanks.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    I see what you mean, a little more blur with up close movement. Am I better to reduce gain a bit, or try a faster exposure?

    Here's an example from last night. Gain is at 65

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Ok, so went ahead and fitted the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU hybrid model with the 1/1.8" sensor. This is the full colour night image it produces at 1/100 exposure: Which I am more than happy with, especially compared to the camera it replaced, and it doesn't require the external lights to be left on...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    That is why I was worried. The supplier assures me that the newer software and fast lens ensure this is almost, if not as, good as the older one with larger sensor, which is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of now. This is the 2nd time I’ve tried to buy the G2-LU version, but have...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Hi all, Currently using a Dahua IPC-HDW5541H in 2.8mm turret form to watch over our cars, hooked up to Blue Iris. Great during the day but not brilliant at night as it's a 1/2.7" sensor and F1.6 lens, so keep the exposure at up to 1/25, which means motion can be blurred. Would rather not use...

    Windows 10 Blue Iris PC - Strange issue

    Hi all, happy Friday! I have a strange issue with the PC I use exclusively for BI. It is not the most modern (Intel I7-6700, 16GB RAM, PCI-E Coral TPU), but copes with BI and 4 cameras fine. The issue is that, every few days, the PC just becomes inaccessible - won't wake up the attached...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    One thing I would like to do is use Blue Iris to control the schedule for day/night profile. I tried using the Dahua Sunrise/Sunset service, but it doesn’t work on this camera like my other cams (which are Dahua). Has anyone successfully configured the PTZ/Control feature in Blue Iris for this...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Regarding reading license plates, I find it ok even at night (albeit manually with some digital zoom). Here is an example from mine, snapped of a moving car at night, at least 30ft away… Video:

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Ok, thanks all. Managed to get it acceptable by turning noise reduction off reducing gain to 35.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Hi all, Got my IPC-Color4k-T set up and working well. Night images are amazing! Still working on getting the best image, however I do have a query about the audio. I can't seem to get it anything near right. Audio format is currently at AAC 16k sampling rate, although I've tried most formats...
