rory 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Ok, got this camera for a job. All i get is major pixelised image, light levels change from near normal to what looks like a thermal im sage. Im getting ready to send this back and tell them just send me an exview camera one time with normal back light settings, cause this is crap. Any ideas?? No its not the lens, at least I used 2 seperate CS mount 1/3" Kalatel Lenses. I have changed all settings on the camera, and also reset to default, no change. The AI pot level doesnt do anything by the way. It looks like it will work ok for indoors for now, but i mean i have a cheap 1 lux dome outdoors that does a better job than this camera, and sees more bright in the outdoor lighting. thanks Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Could be fualty, but does it havea shutter setting, this can happen is shutter set to slow speeds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Looks like it has an auto shutter. Everything is OSD. If I lower the AI threshhold it gets better but dim compared to other cameras Ive used. Even so though, the picture still has the pixels sought of like some type of enhancement being made digitally. Question, are wide dynamic cameras supposed to be same type of picture as a normal one, appart from lighting? I would have thought so..? Basically this image looks like crap .. the lighting part works like they say though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooperman 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Rory, Have you tried using a manual iris lens? If you get the exposure about right, and then deliberately over expose the image, see if it replicates the problem you're having at the moment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Yep I tried a manual iris lens also, same thing. I got a reply from GE that there is something wrong with the either the imager or the iris on this camera and to replace it so im sending it back! My first wide dynamic, just my luck these days ;-( Thanks for the help though guys. Rory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rikky 0 Posted September 16, 2004 Rory, Indeed could be a faulty camera. My test Ultraview did very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted September 16, 2004 Bite the bullet and buy a Ganz Wide Dynamic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted September 16, 2004 they dont sell the Ganz cameras. Have you tried any of the Panasonic Wide Dynamic cameras? The day night versions look interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rikky 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Saw the Pana next to the Ultraview. Ultraview outperformed in WDR exposure, like testing with a direct lighting into the camera. During normal operation the difference can't be seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dusan 0 Posted September 18, 2004 just get in my hyperd and fuji 1.4mm f1.4 lens looks ok and so far it works fine i order 3pc and 1 broke in 2hr video out stop working, so i am geting rma for it now 2nd have 4mm f:0.75 ai lens looks like better nite sensitivity compare f1.4 fuji dc lens so far it works better than my old ex ccd 0.8lux in houston sun i can see beeter no sun washout of image 0.5-1 lux is not good for nite still use sony ex bw ccd ~0.05lux 2.7-8mm f1.0 lens did not see any problem like you have on ai or dc lens and this is same chipset like you have only 5 setings on osd pub menu plus 3 hidden setings exp,agc,wb,fluorescent,sync,and expos bios,ai thresh,dd lens and save set arm100 cpu is running hot and that is a problem on this model at this time use axis 2400 server and 2191 audio for testing dusan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredB 0 Posted September 24, 2004 Putting in 12 cameras in a parking garage with back light problems, and was thinking of GE's ultraview camera. How is the camera, compared to other wide dynamic cameras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dusan 0 Posted September 24, 2004 i do not think is good for garage if you do not have light level for it at the moment this technology is not low light level (0.5-1.0 lux) as the company specs is listing in a manual new model (bigger than present 1/3" cmos sensor new 1/2") will be out next year and more sensitive ??? have some hyperd ~900 jpg files of my 3 cameras of 2 days 10 min interval if you like to see let me know i am trying to get some linux html video gallery for display so can see a day to nite video expecting some more good news soon (new better bios for a camera day/nite option ) dusan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredB 0 Posted September 24, 2004 It's pretty well lit garage. The cameras would be facing the gates / sunlight. Maybe a Mintron W-1 would be better. http://mintron.com/HTM/Default_A.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
