Help problem with image

[Mofo84]

I just installed this camera today .
Dahua Technology DH-IPC-PFW83242-A180-S2 32MP Outdoor Multi-Sensor Panoramic
Everything looked fine in the day but at night I notice that the right side is not looking the same as the rest of the image. Is this something I can fix or return it?

What is the issue? I have seen much worse.

With a dual lens camera, if you have more light on one side than the other, sometimes you get an actual distinct line down the middle between the two lens.

I suspect with the left side having more light than the right that you will have a bit of a struggle with a dual lens camera.

This one has 4 sensors I was just worried it was an issue with the 4th sensor since the other 3 look identical color wise. I can even see a difference in b&w.

I have an older 4 lens camera like your 4 lens 32mp camera. Where mine is said to be 8mp Amcrest IP8M-MD180E-AI that is just the 4 2mp cameras that make up that 8mp. Your night picture looks way better then mine. To be fair mine is also mounted in an area of total darkness. I did try in color with the snow and was able view most of the area. I might mount the camera in an area I don't care if I show picture of. Right now where it is mounted it has a view of protection that isn't been viewed before so I don't want to post that position.

What one of the 4 sensors do you think is weak? Could be IR return to the sensor. I just looked at your B/W picture and can see in all 4 areas of the sensors the same to me? Now that is just the picture you provided so I can't say that it is the same as the quality that you would have local. But looking at the sensors to right and left both offer good detail and center has high detail. I think anyway..

Edit: It does look like there is some center blur that is past your Tree but that is expected because the tree has become the sensors focus point, so what is behind the tree is little blurred but that is expected with any camera that focus on a near area of the scene..

Whether it is dual or 4 lens, the same concept applies when stitching together multiple lens into a panoramic - any light differences between each lens can cause exposure issues. And that would be the same whether it is color or b/w.

I don't see it....both posted images look VERY good to me. In both images the left side is a bit brighter, likely because of more street lighting.

It’s actually a great image.

The only difference is light. The left side has the benefit of a close by street light on your side of the street not 50 ft from your driveway. The right side closest street light is 150-200 ft away on the opposite side of the street

It would yield the same results if you had two separate cameras pointing left and right. This isnt rocket surgery.
Its 100% always all about the amount of light on the scene. Every. time.
