low light

Is the IPC-T5442T-ZE still the best camera for under $200 or should I consider a different one? I want to replace my HikVision DS-2CD3132 with something better. Actually, I might continue using the HiVison cams for overview and install other cams (that work much better in low light) to zoom into...

I am well acquainted with the 5231 cameras and also 49225 PTZ which is low light king even compared to 5231, I think this has something to do with IR power and also better quality lens on the 49225. Anyway, I got a 5442 with 2.8 lens installed a few days ago and been pretty impressed so long as...

Looking for a low light/night color dome that can be used on a MDU/Apartment building setting. Colorvu would be perfect if it was vandal proof.. Anything similar in a dome and/or box Camera?

Corona virus is spreading all over the world, and so we're all forced to stay home. Here in Poland all shopping centers, schools, kindergarten, playgrounds, etc. are closed. So, together with my wife, we have to find way, to do our regular job, and take care of children. It is time consuming and...

I have an observatory that takes images in the in the infrared (Hydrogen alpha band) and I can run it from my house. I would like to remotely monitor the telescope to make sure no cables are getting tangled. If I turn on the LEDs, my exposure is ruined. Currently I used a camera that does...

Hello, I am currently working with iPolis SNZ-6320P. We work outdoors in changing locations (installing cameras per requirements for periods of 12-48 hours). I have two major problems with it: 1. I am not fully satisfied with its extreme low light conditions. (night with no lights) 2. usually...

Hi, I've been asked to source 4 cameras to monitor some astronomy equipment during night observations, ideally wide angle. I cannot use IR LEDs as they will affect the equipment. Any recommendations on the best setup for such a case? Thanks! Peter

tried out my first 2MP starvis sensor, the low light performance is beyond awesome. I feel bad that all my other cameras are 4, 6 and even 8MP, and look like garbage compared to this. Should have taken the advice in the cliff notes seriously. Here’s comparing a cheap HikVision indoor camera to...

I've spent hours trying to figure out which cameras are good for low light/night color recording. On this forum, it looks like Starlight is the gold standard, however, looking at specs for Hikvision's EasyIP 3.0 2355 Turret (5MP), the lux ratings are nearly identical. Does that mean hikvision...

Hey ipCamTalkers :wave: I already purchased a couple of 5231R-z cameras from Andy but have not installed them yet, gonna do that real soon. Got side tracked on an another project that took priority. I am looking to buy my next camera to cover my front door. I cannot use or install the common...

Searching for IMX178 and IMX185 cameras, I came across www.ccdcam.com Has anyone ever tried them ?

Hi all, Just to have your opinion about this: this camera works well except it can't send email alarm because of no TLS option on camera. Here I'm working on a 4G TP Link router. 1) is it possible to do something with the router 2) if not, did you think Hikvision will made an upgrade for this...

Well, I've had some cameras up for a while but I've mostly used them just to see what's going on in front of the house from my office. I woke up this morning and saw that someone had broken into my car in the driveway. I thought I at least would have some good video. Well, in my opinion, the...

I've got a Hikvision mini dome installed that I'm trying to figure out if I can get better color night images out of. It is a 4mp 2.8mm DS-2CD2542F. The 1st image below is from the Hikvision and the 2nd is from a Skybell doorbell camera. I was surprised that the Skybell image looks so much...
