Color4K-X Is A Low Light MONSTER! (Pics before and after)

[jd415]

I just got a IPC-Color4K-X and its amazing at night especially for a 8 MP. A huge shout out to @wittaj for all your help and @EMPIRETECANDY for great customer service as always!

Here is my before and after. Keep in mind I have ZERO street lights and it was pitch dark outside. Old camera is an 8 MP with 1/1.8.

Shutter speed in after pic?

 

[jd415]

Shutter speed above was set to 1/3 to demonstrate how well it can work if you have a lot of white light, below is 1/60 and it still looks great with cars driving down the road.

Very nice.

Little bit of a difference there huh?

 

[EMPIRETECANDY]

Thanks for your sharing @jd415
I am a little worry when JD tell me he uses at a very dark place. So right now everything is perfect. A very nice FULL Color camera.

Notice there' s a green cast. Looks like you might need a colour balance for times when there's no light unless you have supplementary lighting that kicks in on detection. I'm guessing a light nearby is emitting a litle light that's affecting the balance. I know fluroescent tends towards pink. Unsure what light source tends towards green.

It could just be white light reflecting off plant life making it green.

Have this mounted at our warehouse - LOVE this camera, its a beast, its nearly pitch black back there that light in the distance looks 10x brighter than if you were standing there.




IVS boxes are trigger zones for the PTZ

The shot of the old camera was with the IR turned off, here is what it looked like with the IR turned on. Night color cameras are amazing even in a low light setting.

Andy do you think these perform better than the HIKVISION 1/1.2” ?

 

[jd415]

This camera has a 1/1.2” sensor

Corrected my post.

I think Wildcat did a video that compares it with Hikvision if I recall?
