    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Appears h.view have 2 different 5MP models and their naming seems inconsistent. Anyway, that annke looks promising, Ill keep an eye on it becoming available here.

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    I tried the 5MP H.view "color night" but it was all but worthless in color at night (and not that great otherwise). No wonder they only sell it with IR illuminators. Its really the 2MP sony IMX 3x7 sensor in the E3 that is "magic", so I wouldnt hold out any hopes for the 5MP brillcam. If they...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Recently got my hands on a Dahua HDW2431T-AS-S2 I thought some of you might want to see how it stacks up against the h.view E3. A clip from each showing the same event from a different angle: H.view E3: Dahua HDW2431T: (I uploaded them to youtube because this forum wouldnt accept the video...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Just an update; my hview has been 100% stable for the past few days with substream re-enabled, motion detection enabled and OSD (although I turned it off again as I prefer a more uniform BI OSD). Though I have not tested this for very long due to being pointless, it also appears to work ok...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    As Blue iris motion detection; the main problem I have with it is that only considers the center of the object. There is no way to make it trigger on the bottom of the object (like you know, feet or wheels, the things that matter) crossing a zone. So a tall van may not cross a zone because the...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Like I said, I have zero interest in importing camera's from the US. Besides the obvious reasons (warranty, service, etc), I have my own very good but less obvious reasons to want to buy from amazon locally. As for buying hikvision or dahua's rather than this one; Ive reenabled substream and...

    Thanks. Looking at those stills, I was thinking they looked eerily similar to what my camera can do. So I googled the type and sure enough, in the spec sheet: · 1/2.8” 2Megapixel progressive scan STARVISTM CMOS I suspect you will find all those 2MP color night / starnight camera's (and ones...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Doesnt change the point though. If a camera produces 4 FPS at night, it is because the shutter speed has been reduced to 1/4th of second. Likewise if it produces 25 actual frames per second (and not interpolated or duplicated frames), then shutter speed can not possibly be shorter than 1/25th...

    None of my camera's have fixed shutter speed. Only maximum shutter time, which is the same as minimum frame rate. , let me show you:

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Thanks, but I dont see that happening. Even if he ships for free, if I add the VAT and import tax and customs charges, Im paying at the very least 2x more than for a brand new hview with warranty that I can ship back for free. It does. You cant produce more frames in a second than the sensor...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    I cant lock the shutter speed on the Dahua. But it was only producing 4FPS under the same conditions, so I assume it was at 1/4th. If it where possible to lock it at 1/25, it would be even blacker than in the picture in my first post. The conditions where identical. It was the same...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Oomph. Only one I can find in EU is in Finland for 230 euro and out of stock. And, according to the spec sheet: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upload/uploads/soft/20181030/DH-IPC-HFW2231T-ZSVFS_Datasheet_20181030.pdf it uses a · 1/2.8” 2Megapixel progressive StarvisTM CMOS That is almost...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Absolutely, When the floods kick in, there is ample light (I love those solar flood lights, work much better than I thought). The Dahua also handled that fine. It was just blind without them, whereas this E3 sees remarkably well "in the dark". As for the 5MP; I read somewhere its low light...

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/H-VIEW-Outdoor-Real-Time-Detection-Install/dp/B07Y6NRGZ2 Model number is E3 I believe. Please let me know if you do test it, Id be curious if nothing else if you have the same stability woes. I agree, thats what it looks like. But I just dont. I dont have a lux meter...

    Looking for (another) affordable night color camera

    Look, I dont know what shutter speed its actually using. I just wanted to make sure it could do "25 FPS", assuming that guaranteed not too blury motion, so I set to 1/25. But Id be happy to see some video's of your 4 year old dahua to have some comparison. I only have IR cams, the Dahua I...
