Hi Andy,
You night time testing is done where there is a light around such as street light, signage light, building lights etc. Are you able to test it in the area where moon light is the only light source? My cameras monitoring around the house doesn't perform well at night (just moon light) so I wonder if these news cameras will have any good results.
Look at the reviews in other threads, including the new 4K camera on the 1/1.2" sensor.
ALL cameras need light at night. Simple physics. Marketing a camera as low light and full color doesn't change that fact.
Unless you know you have enough ambient light or can live with the camera's white LED on, go with a camera that can see infrared. The full color type cameras cannot see infrared, so you couldn't add external IR later.
But in a completely black situation without any ambient light and without the white LED on, it looks like crap and you cannot add external IR as it won't see it.
Here is the newest 4k camera, that is absolutely incredible with just a little bit of light, including the LED on the camera, but with nothing turned on and a cloudy night, it is dark. And you will not have full moon light every night. You need to select a camera for the worse case scenario.
But with just the LED light of the camera, it makes a big difference (and the LED isn't very bright):
Intro I’m excited to be doing another Worlds First Review. this time as I mentioned in the full color thread, I’ve been testing the new Dahua full color 4K camera. This was provided courtesy of @EMPIRETECANDY for a fair, honest, no holds barred, unbiased review. I’ll attempt to answer any and...
