Would like to use the HFW-5849T1-ASE-LED (IPC-Color4K-X) bullet camera to replace a HFW5442E-Z4E bullet (set at 23mm zoom) for night use. The 5442 does OK for color at night, but would like something better.
A 5849 should produce better night images, but the focal length is too short at 3.6mm. The FOV is under a street light with some additional light supplied by a 15 watt white LED lamp house mounted. i.e. not anywhere close to stadium lighting!
Has anyone replaced the lens on the 5849 bullet to a fixed focal length lens in the range of 20 to 30MM? Overall, with more glass there would be additional light loss. Also there may not be sufficient room in the bullet for the lens to fit. However, the 1/1.2 vs 1/1.8 sensor plus 8MP vs 4MP may make up the difference and then some.
