exposure

Managed to get a couple of these installed at last, any tips on settings, I am struggling during sunlight to stop blown highlights/over exposure. I run manual exposure and short of reducing the exposure compensation it is still a struggle compared to my 5231's. Also tried WDR but I'm not a fan...

OK, I'm curious what others are using for Exposure settings. I am big on freeze frame capability when playing back footage so I always go manual with Shutter speed. Over the years I have found that anything above 4-5ms shutter speed is a no for me. Gain I like to keep low for reduced noise if...

Hey, I have this IPC-HFW1831C-PIR mini-bullet. It's a nice little camera, I like its features as a front-door cam. But the picture at night really sucks for any distance further than the porch. A lot of that I think is because it's next to the porch light. The porch shows up well, but...

hi all, I am experiencing night time motion blur on auto shutter setting, and ghosting if choosing the manual exposure setting (1/200). I don't think I can get it much better than these two options. Both can see the license plate at the end of my driveway, yet both have their own distinct...

I'm very satisfied with Hikvision, including several good outcomes after thefts. Each time I was asked if there was "a better view of the number plate?". I'm not permitted to post imagery but suffice to say I'm struggling to improve the footage. Vehicles are only between 10-15 metres from the...

I did a quick search around the forum and using Google, but I'm mostly at a loss. When it comes to camera settings, I really suck at it. All our cameras are Hikvisions (DS-2CDxxx2) - a mix of dome, bullet and exir bullet. I've set the configurations about the same for each. At first I was...

Hello, I have question about our Hikvision DS-2CD4032FWD and hope that you can help me. We are using the camera to estimate the relative brightness of a light spot like this one: The problem is that the camera response is not linear, but rather logarithmic to match the brightness...
