Here's a more detailed overview from
@Sean Nelson
Technically, you're not really going to be able to ID something without the integrated or external flood light being (or street light for the matter) on. Very simply, I can turn off the IR on my 4mp 5442 Dahua turret and achieve similar result but will not really be able to ID something unless I have external light source (i.e. streetlight) available.
As per the video at 12am its alright, but at 4am, things go south without any adequate trace of light
Nelly's should put a link of the following video to the description of the video on the YouTube link in my OP to avoid customers jumping fast to conclusions
Sean did a thorough job with his video.
I wonder if we can flash Hikvision firmware on the Nelly's Security models.
