Outdoor 2MP IP camera with good low-light performance

[Integration101 0]

To date my business has been CCTV cameras and systems. I'm currently quoting a job that requires IP cameras, some of which will be megapixel. I'm wondering what works well for low-light conditions (outdoor, 2-3MP, wide angle lens). Also, I'm thinking of using a NUUO NVR platform (2 X 16 Channel). Does anyone have any comments on this?

 

Thank you and Best Regards,

Depends on exactly how you define "GOOD low-light", and megapixel cameras are traditionally not great in this situation, but I have found this one to be one of the best of the type:

Hello

 

I recommend IQeye cameras, here is IQ755 shot, 1/50 shutter speed:

 

And IQeye have way better night cams, like IQM32 or IQ752. Is this quality that you are lookin' for?

Korgoth of Barbaria,

This performance is fantastic, especially at that speed. Did you use IR?

 

Also, do you have any experience with the entry level IQ cam, IQEYE3? Spec show very low shutter speed for MP video...is this true?

 

Thanks.

I thought the 3135 was discontinued? No?

Nope they still make the 3135 ... It is a great camera ... I think they stopped making the JPEG 3130.

No IR, only street lamp light.

Have't seen any IQeye3 camras.

 

I have IQM32NE-B5 right now. I will make some shots today @ night.

I got a dedicated black and white lens for night, makes a huge difference at night. Here is my mobotix d14 with dual lenses, left view is my color, which is OK because of the light, but look at the bushes to the right, you can't see anything.

 

Take a look at the right image which is the black and white sensor / lens. YOu can now see into the bushes.

 

Color will be OK if you have decent lights, but dedicated black and white is the way to go.

The Mobotix B&W imagers are excellent.
