Got this one from used market, model number is iDS-NXCN4A204I, Hikvision's Chinese domestic model.

SoC is Hisilicon Hi3519V101, Hikivsion use this SoC in all their H3 platform camera, mainly high-end with AI features like face recognition, Smart events and LPR. The chip is re-labeled as HK2017-3, Hikvision do this to all the SoCs they bought from other companies, but they never produce any chip themselves.

CMOS is Sony IMX385, 1/1.8" 2MP with 3.85*3.85um pixel size, which is one of the largest among the security CMOS sensors, picture in low light should be good. Max resolution is 1080p @30 FPS. shutter speed can be as slow as 1 second

This picture is taken by my iPhone 12 Pro in auto mode, the room has no window, door is closed, totally dark, almost nothing visible with human eyes, the only light source is the power status led of my Sylonody NAS(the blue light from the above ) and network switch

This is the snapshot of this Hikvision camera, shutter speed is set to 1/50s, Gain is set to 100%
