Search results for query: hikvision ultra low light

Sorry for the late reply. Plate recognition, especially at night (or any other low light situation) is difficult. As @wittaj pointed out you need a high speed shutter to get it because of the movement. This was a learning for me on the difference between an ultra high res camera and a good...

Don't know how much it's worth, so I've set up an auction: 4x HIKVISION Ultra-Low Light DS-2CD3T86FWDV2-I3 IP Bullet Camera Chinese version | eBay

You little facked up by choosing HikVision NVR when You want IR (not white light) cameras with big sensor :( Hik Vision have broad catalog (bigger that Dahua) of ColorVu cams with 4/6/8 Mpx and big 1/1.8" sensor (plus 8 Mpx with 1/1.2" sensor). But if You look for normal IR cameras in normal...

I'm not sure how I missed this, but I really like this PTZ. On paper, it seems like it should be a really good camera. What are your thoughts on this, guys? @wittaj , @bigredfish , @Parley https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/PTZ-Cameras/Ultra-Series/ds-2df8c260i5xg-elw/ I...

So I'm looking for a really good low light/night PTZ with at least 30X zoom. It appears that DS-2DF6A436X-AEL(T5) may be the ticket with 4MP, 1/1.8 sensor, f1.2 lens, 0.001 Lux rating? It's at the limit of my budget $1500-2000, and the housing has a diameter of 231mm which is the biggest I would...

Hi all, I recently bought one of these cameras, I have managed to upgrade the firmware to the latest on the Hikvision portal thanks to reading all your inputs in the forum... It works great with BI and I have it by the front door, using the pir to call a hello voice message on its speaker. What...

Hi @tdbm Highly recommend taking some time to learn more with just one good varifocal 4MP 1/1.8" sensor camera .. many of us picked up at Dahua OEM version from Andy for this, and this includes customers in the UK. Add a length of cat5e/6 cable and a nice PoE power source ( I prefer a small...

Welcome @abcdol 1) Do you really need a PTZ? 2) More affordable cameras have more affordable components, including the sensors and thus do less well in low light conditions. 3) most of us found WiFi cameras to be problematic If you need a good camera, I would avoid this one you referenced:

Hello experts, newbie here looking for advice for PTZ camera. We live in California with weather temp >34F degrees during winter and <110F during summer. Our backyard lot is approx 15,000 sqft with empty cul-de-sac lot behind our brick wall and liquor store across that lot. At night time, we...

You don't need to muddy up camera review threads with the same stuff you have posted in your own thread you created.... You compared two different cameras - one with a fixed lens and another with a varifocal and I explained the differences in your other thread. If Dahua sucked at AI, do you...

Thanks everyone for all the help here! Decisions, decisions, but I'm definitely going with a turret with a 1/1.2" sensor to start. It's between the Hikvision and the Dahua. These models were exceedingly difficult to look up and find documentation on given my specs. Does anyone know if you buy...

I've been thinking about purchasing this camera, or the competing Hikvision model camera (DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL), but I haven't seen anyone that's done a comparisons of the human and vehicle detection of Dahua vs other brands, or any at all for that matter. Am I the only person out there that has...

What part do you not understand or follow? I said a 2MP or 3MP and an 8MP on the same 1/2.8" sensor size - the 2MP will win at night. And an 8MP on a 1/1.2" sensor will win the battle against the 2MP or 3MP on a 1/2.8" sensor. Where did I ever say different. I didn't. Do your test with a...

The 4mm 8MP G2 Colorvu outperforms the Hik 3MP varifocal DS-2CD2H35FWD-IZS, even with the 3MP zoomed in with a much narrower FOV. Both for light sensitivity and clarity (detail) e.g. reading number plates at the same distance. You're looking at specs for colour at 0.005 lux compared to 0.0005 lux.

What I said is not wrong - Re-read what you quoted me from - I said 2MP on a 1/2.8" sensor will outperform a 4K/8MP on the same 1/2.8" sensor, which implies unspoken camera models where a 4K/8MP on a 1/2.8" sensor is a budget camera touting 8MP for the unsuspecting consumer chasing MP at a...

The Colorvu 8MP G2 easily outperforms the 2MP Dahua Starlight varifocal I replaced and the Hikvision 3MP "Powered by Dark Fighter" (fixed and varifocal versions.) Technology is improving all the time. Simply stating a 2MP outperforms a 4K/ 8MP at night is wrong- it all depends on what camera...

That's what I've done in my front yard- automatic sunset to sunrise flood lighting as well as motion sensor lights (because the street lighting is abysmal where I live.) The 8MP Colorvu works well in that situation without using it's built in lighting. The 8MP ColorVu also out performs my older...

Thanks for the reply. I read your post in another thread about Dahua 5442 models, but wasn’t sure if there was something better for a few extra bucks that I should be looking at. I had called a local Dahua dealer and he raved about Night Color 2.0 being the absolute best, but watched some...

Hi everyone! Found this forum a few weeks ago and just can't get enough! I am a long time geek and have dabbled a bit in IP cams in the past. Just purchased a home in rural Washington and going down the rabbit hole of ip cams and home security options. Came across IpCamTalk forums when...

test do not guess start with one good quality (Dahua, Hikvision) variable focus camera. Test at night with motion, have the "bad Guy" wear a hoodie. can you ID them, will it allow the cops to catch the them, will the video stand up in court, If not you have wasted your money...

I would not recommend a 4K camera at this time for a surveillance application. I would also not recommend Annke cameras for your primary surveillance, they are mostly second string outdated cameras. Get one good quality variable focus camera, 4MP with a 1/1.8 sensor test that you have the...
