Will you be able to test it indoors and outdoors with LED lighting?for the laymen; your getting the performance of a $400+ Hik Darkfighter for a fraction of the cost..
additional detail in low light conditions will be quite noticeable.. there will be much less noise.
My concern is with the PAL only specification...I dont have any LED lighting outside; other than my IR Cannons..
I have seen issues with 50hz hikvision cams...Its easy to test once someone gets their hands on them..that should not matter for LED lighting, they are driven constantly by DC voltage.. not AC.
unless you have em on a dimmer, but then the PWM frequency still has no direct correlation to 50Hz vs 60Hz
Can't speak from experience using the cameras, but from a spec stance, the 4MP is the only of the 3 (2/4/8MP) that lacks an exmor sensor, and as such may have lower image quality... especially in low light. The 8MP sacrifices flexibility in lens choice (4mm only option available) to get reasonable low-light performance for such a high MP sensor (with an F1.6 lens vs F2 on the others). I think these three really target different needs... the 2MP is for excellent low-light performance with decent detail, the 8MP is for excellent detail with very good low-light performance, while the 4MP is kinda middle of the road... does not appear to be targeted at excellent detail or low-light performance, but is at a VERY attractive price point... would be very interested to see how it performs in daylight and with the onboard IR.I recently bought a couple Dahua 4MP HDW4431C-A turrets and am looking to add a couple more cameras. The 4431C-A is $66 on Ali. There's also a Dahua 8MP turret (HDW4830EM-AS) for $157. Is it worth more than double the price for the 8MP model over the 4MP model?
+1Im waiting for the pictures to be posted of the comparisons....
