I will take some more useful shots when I have a chance

 

Looking at the night image and the refective light from the tree leaves and car refective surfaces it appears there is a long exposure setting. Is it set to auto or have you set a manual exposure time?

 

Also interested to know if the DN camera has a DC auto iris option.

The DN Areconts don't have auto iris option.

I am surprised at the lack or resolution for a 5MP.

 

Look at the following images from the IndigoVision 720p HD camera.

 

Compare both at 400% on the leaves and then 800%

 

very similar considering we are comparing 1.3MP to 5MP

 

 

Also note on the Arecont the image is not sharp in the outer edges of the image. only the centre.

I have the Arecont 4mm lens on the camera. The focus will improve when the megapixel lens arrives. I think the Arecont has a better image then the IndigoVision.

I agree it is better but not for the difference of 5MP v 1.3MP. Maybe 20-30% better.

On a 5MP camera, you should be able to electronic zoom to 200% and have the same resolution as the 1.3MP (inverse square law).

In this image resampled to 200% the leaves and the badge on the car should be sharp but are not.

I would love to see a TVL chart test. I have tested the Indigo to 825TVL.

Still images like this should look crisp when taken that close. add some movement to see how the canera performs. hence the leaves in in a real scene are a good test.

 

Who typically looks at the background? is the moving parts we are interested in.
