rory 0 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Example with hue lowered on a DVR's color setting. In this case its a Dahua DVR but should work the same with others. Camera on left is a cheap Color only bullet, has a fixed IR cut but colors are still a little off. Lowered the HUE to 30 Camera on right is a cheap Color IR bullet, HUE lowered to 20. Bottom left is closer to the real colors. Only testing this for green from shrubs and trees.

Birdman Adam 0 Posted August 26, 2011 So is this actually correcting the color problems cameras have without IR cut filters? Or just fixing some of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) No not correcting it, just making it look a little better. I dont know what it will do with other colors, may turn them greenish also, though looks ok in this case. That cheap color only camera is pretty old though, a new one probably produces better color. In fact I installed a new one the other night, just have to tie it in now. Edited November 4, 2011 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted August 27, 2011 My CCD IR cams, no IR cut, by default have good color I think. If I want a beautiful color shot, I take a picture with a good digi cam. I did however find a slight adjustment to hue can help certain cameras. I've experimented with another setting too- saturation. That one can really make things too funky overall, even at night- making the picture kinda purple. But careful adjustment between hue/saturation can be useful. I have new cameras and even without IR cut, they're really fine. COMS cameras were just not good with color overall- at least the cheap ones I had. I got acceptable clothes color which is good actually, but landscape colors were all off. But I'm not completely bent on IR cut. I like my one camera that has it, but my other seven that don't looks fine to me as well. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
