hi i was reccomended on this forum to get this turret dahua camera as an affordable low light camera Review-Dahua IPC-HDW2231RP-ZS Starlight Camera-Varifocal
i was previously looking at the hikvision DS-2CD2135FWD-I
US $107.0 |free shipping english version DS 2CD2135FWD I replace DS 2CD2135F I 3MP Ultra Low Light Network Dome Camera-in Surveillance Cameras from Security & Protection on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
both are similarily priced, the main difference is the lack varifocal and it being a dome(which i've heard has a lot of downsides) from hikvision but am i correct in thinking the hikvision will actually work better in capturing colour in low light?
Both have 1/2.8” image sensor but in minimum illumination
the hikvision says
Color: 0.005 lux @(F1.2, AGC ON), 0 lux with IR
the dahua turret says
0.006Lux/F1.4( Color,1/3s,30IRE)
0.05Lux/F1.4( Color,1/30s,30IRE)
0Lux/F1.4(IR on)
it doesn't explain the shutter speed on the hikvision but the dahua seems limited capturing colour during low light? 1/3s sounds bad but i'm not entirely sure how dark 0.05 to 0.006 lux is, like would i need to capture in such low light. As i stated i have no idea what shutter speed the hikvision would operate at either. any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
i intend to use it for my takeaway shop which is well lit during opening times but also has some street lighting when closed. i'd love varifocal but evidence gathering is more important for my shop.
thanks
