CCTVguru1 0 Posted May 9, 2009 I am looking for some feed back on the low light performance of this mega-pixel camera. The specs give a 0.3lux F1.4 colour rating, which sounds too good. There is no reference to the IRE level this is measured at so it could mean anything. Anyone tried it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted May 9, 2009 I am also interested in this cameras low light performance. I have it quoted for 2 jobs and I hope it's good. Any body able to post some images? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megapixel man 0 Posted May 10, 2009 There are a few 5MPx cameras that have a similar spec of .3lux @ f/1.4 in colour. One of the things I would be checking with the Arecont camera is Auto Iris. And if available on this Day/Night model, also is it Auto Iris by the Lens or a camera function. I coudn't find these answers on the web site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted May 10, 2009 I think they make three different 5105 models: 1) day only 2) Day/Night 3) Day/Night with AI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megapixel man 0 Posted May 10, 2009 I think they make three different 5105 models: 1) day only 2) Day/Night 3) Day/Night with AI I must have missed the AI model, could only find colour or DN. Also the lens that comes with the camera is advertised as the 4-10mm which does not appear to have AI or be IR corrected. http://www.arecontvision.com/uploads/product_images/29Arecont_Vision_AV5155_0409pdf.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thx two ways to do it 1. access Arecont direct by web gui and get full res shoot 2. install Arecont soft and get full size shoot on another hand are u saying that mininuuo can't save full res shoots ?

Thx That image is 2048 by 1280. I know how to print screen but I don't have a monitor big enough to get the whole image when I log into the web gui.

thewireguys 3 Posted June 1, 2009 Full Res Day Full Res Night quote] -------------------------------------------- Are u happy with image quality ? It is very impressive for the crappy Arecont 4mm lens. I can wait to see the difference when the Computar lens arrives. Also one thing to keep in mind bandwidth during the day isn't bad but the night images can get out of hand very quick. I wish Arecont had bandwidth controls like AXIS and ACTI cameras do.

I dont understand how low light bandwidth is higher then daytime that strange to me image quality control by Arecont soft will give some control over bandwidth At night the "noise" in the image is being seen as motion, with some I and P frame compressions at 80% or more motion within the scene it goes to full images, hence the higher bandwidths at night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
