Was looking through some old security system archived files and ran into some footage from 10 years ago. Night time capture has come a LONG ways.
That one from 2015 was the best Hikvision turret I could buy. The shutter speed was LONG to get even that blurry still image!

The 2nd frame cap from 10 years more advanced, EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE S3. Realize the street lamp is off in the new camera's capture. So it didn't even have that help.

We've come a long ways from my lousy, four camera system 10 years ago.

So is that street light that is out one that your local municipality or your power company is responsible to maintain?

5442-S3 is almost 3 years old camera...

You should try TIOC-PRO 3449, which use totally new AI-ISP video processing technology..

with this lighting it should give you bright colorful image...

there is risk that darker parts will be noisy, but when city will fix that lamp it should be good...
