5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

The bracket is a bit "clunky" though. It consists of a series of joints held in place with a hex head screw and some grub screws. However it does the job despite seeming a bit basic, with everything being nice and solid once the screws are tightened up.
To try and give an idea of the range of positioning available, here it is broken down a bit:
So, where it fits up agaisnt the back of the camera, it can be rotated to any position. Then there's the middle joint, which can be adjusted a little over 90° in the direction of the cutout facing us in the picture. The last joint, between the bracket base and the middle part of the bracket can also be rotated 360°. Between these 3 joints it's possible to pretty much align the camera any way you want.
I agree with the comments about the chunky POE splitter making it more difficult to install with minimum fuss.
One thing to be aware of though is that water can enter the bracket, and could quite easily travel along the wiring. It won't be enough to just make sure the join between the mounting surfaces of the bracket and whatever it's fixed to are sealed. The hole the wires go through will also need to be sealed.
Coming up soon, some images of it in action...

Here are a couple of images from BI. I tried taking screenshts from the Web UI but they're not the correct aspect ratio. These are not perfect by far, but they are equally imperfect, so may give some comparison at least... I think the night shots will be of more interest anyway.
BTW, they're big files (trying not to lose even more IQ), apologies if they take forever to load.
Hikvision 3mp turret, 6mm (1920x1080)
Longse (2048x1536) (WDR set to "medium")
Out of interest, this is Longse's take on 1920x1080 - in other words a 4:3 image squashed to fit a 16:9 format. Yuk!

My contribution for different modes (I kind of like no IR option and just rely on motion flood light, it looks like it will take care of the motion blur):

Actually, with WDR set to medium in the Longse, in parts of the picture I notice the grain as much as in the Hik. There's not a great deal of difference. If looking closely, they're both noticeable once a second (the iframe).

Sorry Q, I have no idea why they're not clickable for you. I just uploaded them using the normal image upload function, and they work for me.
Anyone ales having same problem?

How about daytime though klasipca? You may not have the same issue, but if I turn WDR off I have dark areas in the images I posted. There's bright, sunlit areas, then spots such as the far left corner of the house where the trees are which is in complete darkness.

I see, in my case not so great.
Btw, here is a hint for you how to disable ir cut filter. Basically I did not find a button to disable it, so I am sort of using a workaround which might be a bug:
1. Set to LDR Auto (if not set)
2. Save
3. Set to Video Auto
4. Save
5. Wait until ircut filter turns off (depends on the ircut filter time setting)
6. Set to B&W or Color
7. Save
I am not sure if Video Auto is the purpose for this or not, but whatever it works.

Thanks Atom...not caused by you I am certain of that. Now the first three are clickable but not the 4th image...go figure!

So I think Q already has the trigger on the "Buy" button, just waiting for final set of night time images from you
