fantomas21000 0 Posted January 18, 2017 Hi all, I've got this chinese camera : - 1080P - Sony IMX323 sensor - All in One : AHD CVI TVI CVBS - 2.8-12mm lens (zoom) - OSD menu with different parameters Link : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Outdoor-2-0MP-1080P-AHD-TVI-CVI-CVBS-CCTV-camera-4-in-1-Cameras-SONY-imx323/32734292665.html It is placed outdoor, and in AHD mode all moving vehicles are blurry at night, tested at 2.8mm and other zoom positions. My old 540TVL analog camera has no blurry objects at night, but during the day the AHD camera is better and no blurry. I've tried to make some setup at night (exposure, night mode), vehicles are not blury any more, but this setup is too bright during the day so it does not work 24h without any human intervention on setup. What is the problem ? I've got 2 cameras that have this behaviour. One is manual zoom, the other has electric zoom. Other specs are the same. Should I try a fixed lens (3.6mm) to have a better aperture, and also more shutter speed ? Please help ! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 18, 2017 Hi what recorder format are you using ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantomas21000 0 Posted January 18, 2017 H264 DVR on AHD mode (1080P 12FPS) But the problem is not the FPS because analog camera on 960H mode has also 12FPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainvideo 0 Posted January 26, 2017 I have no experience with ahd systems but I can tell you that all other technologies(hd-tvi, hd-cvi, hd-sdi &ip) will look jittery ,blurry or not smooth at 12fps .that's why they make dvr's that record/display in real time 25/30fps. Also if you are viewing your cam's at a monitor that is hooked up directly to your dvr then you will be able to see the full frame rate the dvr has to offer . If you are viewing your cam's remotely ,ie...computer,tablet,smartphone phone then you are most likely viewing them over the sub stream which usually has even less frames per second which will make the video even more jittery,blurry or not smooth .

fantomas21000 0 Posted January 26, 2017 Sorry but FPS has nothing to do with blurry effect. My analog camera on same DVR with 12FPS is not blurry... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thewireguys 3 Posted January 26, 2017 What is the shutter speed set at on your cameras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainvideo 0 Posted January 26, 2017 I had trouble similar to this a few months ago where a customer had these cheapie no name motorized zoom & auto focus cams. All the cams were sharp and clear in the daytime but when the ir kicked on the autofocus would drift slightly out of focus .I replaced the camera and the trouble was gone .

fantomas21000 0 Posted January 26, 2017 It is not a focus issue. It is a zoom 2.8-12mm autofocus chinese camera with Sony board and OSD menu. The shutter speed is set to auto. If I set a shutter speed value OK for night, it is not blurry but during the day it is not OK. I think the problem could be the aperture of the zoom lens, even @2.8mm. Probably a fixed lens would have a better aperture ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantomas21000 0 Posted January 27, 2017 I think it was the Flicker Mode of the Shutter in the Exposure menu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted January 28, 2017 I think it was the Flicker Mode of the Shutter in the Exposure menu Shutter/exposure would be AUTO, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60.... what is yours set at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantomas21000 0 Posted January 28, 2017 It is set to auto. Because it is an outdoor camera, I can't set a fixed value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantomas21000 0 Posted January 31, 2017 Here are 2 still pictures from video : It is not the same angle, analog camera has 6mm lens, and AHD camera has zoom lens 2.8-12mm set at about 3,6mm. Look at the car, it is blurry with AHD camera. Especially, look at the wheels, rearview mirror and rear lights. I've reduced the brightness and AGC of the AHD camera to have a higher shutter speed, but it seems to give no benefit.

thewireguys 3 Posted February 1, 2017 Well that is good as your going to get unless you add a lot more light or get a better camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantomas21000 0 Posted February 1, 2017 If I add more light, I have the same blurry effect on moving cars or persons. But now, please explain me why my analog camera is not blurry on moving objects ? The analog camera is a 30USD chinese camera 540TVL with SONY effio sensor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The analog camera is a 30USD chinese camera 540TVL with SONY effio sensor. Most likely Analog and AHD have different shutter speed Can u control shutter on AHD camera?
