Pin hole camera oddities on Dahua's Website

[beingaware]

I have a client who is in need of stealth Cameras due to an ongoing violent situation which is seeing their normal edge cameras being taken off line.

I was naturally looking at the Starlight versions but noticed the 4mp non starlight has better low light specs then the starlight version.

Am I miss reading this or is there an error on the website or is the 4mp unit some how better?

2MP "Starlight Model"
https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/19121
> 1/2.8” 2Megapixel progressive scan STARVIS™ CMOS
Minimum Illumination

0.02Lux/F1.8 (Color,1/3s,30IRE)

0.1Lux/F1.8 (Color,1/30s,30IRE)

0.01Lux/F1.8 (B/W,1/3s,30IRE)

0.05Lux/F1.8 (B/W,1/30s,30IRE)

Vs

4MP "Standard CMOS"
https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/19151
> 1/2.7” 4Megapixel progressive scan CMOS
Minimum Illumination

0.006Lux/F1.8 (Color,1/3s,30IRE)

0.04Lux/F1.8 (Color,1/30s,30IRE)

0.003Lux/F1.8 (B/W,1/3s,30IRE)

0.02Lux/F1.8 (B/W,1/30s,30IRE)

So what am I missing here?

@EMPIRETECANDY you may have a better idea of whats going on here?

Sad but true, there is a lot of erroneous spec data on Dahua's site. Too much copy and pasting going on, while not being careful as where it was pasted from.
