Dahua NK8BA4 STARVIS 4K Camera

NK8BA4

Does this 12MP / 4K camera compare to the 5231 models as far as low light is concerned?

Curious what the sensor is for this one. It lists .001 lux on the site but I understand those are not always accurate.

This looks like the same camera: IPC-HF81230E | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology
And here is the 5231 turret: IPC-HDW5231R-Z | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology

Based on that it should be comparable, although the 2MP is rated with an F1.4 lens while the 12MP is rated with a larger F1.2 lens.

This is the 12mp bullet with presumably the same sensor. Smaller lens at only F1.53 showing worse low light spec. IPC-HFW81230E-Z | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology

For a box cam with the priority being low light, this is probably a better option: IPC-HF8232F | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology

The NK8BA4 seems like it has lower lux for BW. I keep hoping these 4k cameras will get decent low light eventually. Dunno if it will ever happen though.

Anyone know which IMX sensor the NK8BA4 contains?
