I got a couple of 4mm 2087G2-LU's from Andy just the other day, Still playing with them, but will most likely replace a couple of 'overview' cams on the front of the house. Currently have there a DH-HFW1831E (8mp on 1/1.8" sensor) and a Lorex LNB8005C (aka DH-4830SE, 8MP on 1/2.5" sensor). Will post some comparo shots after I've collected some good ones... Anyways, I noticed a couple things in the UI that I hadn't expected or seen noted before:
- the 'Brightness' slider seems to do nothing, day or night, that I can tell
- dropping 'Contrast' from default 50 to 49 has a huge effect on 'brightness' at night, almost as if enabling WDR
- dropping sharpness drastically reduces/improves 'mosquito noise', i didn't disable entirely, as i think it does help keep edges sharp at low levels.
For now, I've settled at exposure 1/120, gain ~60, WDR ON ~10, NR ~25. My view has an LED street light across the street and bit to the left (above the Prius)
There's also a motion light that comes on occasionally in my neighbors driveway to the right of the scene. Nothing I can do about that...
Mine came with V5.5.154 build 200928 and a power supply. see it's size compared to old min-bullet and lnb8005c/dh-4830se bullets:
I'm not a big fan of the mount. one has to think 'radially' when installing rather than just up/down/left/right, and there seem to be internal detent's that prevent small adjustments...
