![]() ![]() This tech hasn’t made it to consumer brands yet. It may feel wrong to buy some 2MP cameras in 2019, but Dahua and Hikvision are keeping these 2MP 1/2.8” low-light sensors to themselves. Then you can look at the 2MP 1/2.8” cameras to get the details. At night those cameras usually can’t be used for details, but they’re good enough to know when something is happening. porches/patios, gates, driveways, etc and then have lesser-important “overview” cameras (that are higher resolution) looking over broader areas (like the whole front or back yard). What some folks will do is use the 2MP 1/2.8” cameras on key areas. That makes the size of each pixel a lot smaller, which leads to less light captured, which doesn’t help low-light image quality. While that’s an even bigger sensor, it’s only 10% bigger, and it’s got 400% more pixels (8MP vs 2MP) on it. The 4K/8MP sensor in the models you first posted use a 1/2.5” sensor. This makes the size of each pixel the sensor larger, which helps the camera capture more light per pixel, which can greatly help image quality in low light. Specifically camera models that use a 2MP 1/2.8” sensor, like Dahua Starlight or some Hikvision Dark Fighter models.īecause they’re lower-res (2MP), there are fewer pixels on a relatively large sensor. If you're not going with varifocal cameras (not sure if the Hikvision models you linked to were varifocal or fixed lens), this can help you pick the best lens size. If you haven't already seen it, IPVM Camera Calculator V3 is a pretty cool tool. if you're trying to ID someone outside of your house in low-light, the details of their face blurring when they move on a higher MP camera can be a problem). These models typically the the least amount of blur when things move. Dahua Starlight, some Hikvision Dark Fighter models. The Hikvision DS-2CD2H65G1-IZS is a vandal proof, outdoor motorised varifocal IR turret camera that produces an exceptional 6MP high-resolution video. If you want the best cameras for low-light, look for models that use 2MP 1/2.8" sensor. There are newer 8MP (4K) cameras with bigger sensors (1/1.8", 1/2.5") that will do better in low-light (i.e. ![]() Side comment: those all look like 8MP (4K) cameras that use the older, smaller 1/2.5" sensor. And like mentioned, the shape of the turret can make it harder for spiders to spin webs in front of. ![]() IMO, bullets can be more noticeable, which can be a plus or minus depending on what you're going for. Turrets and bullets are pretty much personal preference. ![]()
