Hi,
I have just installed a Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2 (Colorvu 4k) and I was pretty overhelmed by the image at night.
UNTIL the last street lamp switched off. No other light source. So the image fade to full black. Nothing to see anymore.
I don't like to have the camera LED shining all night.
So the camera seems to be absolutely useless now.
Then I noticed the Review thread of Dahua IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE-D2 that has a IR view implemented including the Full Color option and both mixed into one image.
Won't that fill the lack of the Hikvision?
Then I noticed about the new Dahua Full Color Smart Illuminators Series. It has a IR that runs all night and when the cam detects movement it activates the LED to have full color.
But the best model of this series is just a 4MP IPC-HFW2449S-S-IL. I am not sure if the quality can compete with the Hikvision I have currently installed.
I have motion detection powered floodlight installed that activates when a intruder is detected so the hikvision can deliver a acceptable image at night. But for my understanding its not great to rely on the motion detection of a floodlight in terms of security.
Is the Dahua AI as good as Hikvision in detecting Humans/Vehicles to avoid false alerts?
So what to do now? Whats your thoughts?
Thank you very much.
[edit]
The Hikvision was a test run. Need to install a total of 10 cameras. So this is a big decicsion for me before I spent a lot of money on these cams.
