Just signed up for the Arecont Channel Partner Certification Program!! If your curious about the bandwidth with both cameras streaming at full resolution with no motion in the image takes up 33Mb.

 

The 5 megapixel has the 4.5-13mm MP lens on it

The 3130 has the 4mm arecont lens on it

 

 

5 Megapixel

I've recently capped the monochrome (night) side of my 3130 used as an outdoor webcam because I don't need the nightime capability, and set the parameter to keep it on the color side at night. (set?daynight=day)

 

What happened is interesting - the color side now switches to a monochrome "night" mode anyway and gives a fairly credible image. Certainly there is still a hefty IR-block filter in place but I'm guessing it's good down to about .5 lux.

 

Oh, also, on the color side I get the same noise artefacts (vertical and horizontal shards) in the 5 MP image you posted. On the monochrome side I get exactly what you have in the 1.3 image - a fabric, linen-like texture.
