![]() ![]() ![]() I primarily was interested in seeing how well the 1/1.8th sensor could capture at night with ambient light and without, especially capturing at 8mp. I mounted the camera which has a 2.8mm lens on a CB-135 mount under my eve which gave me a overview of one portion of the driveway. Especially with this specific camera, I had to force it out of color mode to test the night capabilities and I still had a very nice picture. Comparative to the ColorVu, which I know is really apples to oranges, in my case where most of my applications are installed in darker scenarios, I would rather utilize a Darkfighter over a ColorVu. As always the Darkfighter inclusion with the 1/1.8th sensor does amazing work in little to no ambient light and is perfect for very dark scenes. Overall I have had no false alarms with the camera when it comes to detecting human and vehicle intrusions. Both the flashing LED light and audible alarm, which is fairly loud, can deter or scare a potential criminal if need be. The active deterrence integration is new for me and after testing it out for a while I can see how It will be very useful in specific applications. The 8mp day and night captures are impressive to say the least and I have not had any real issues with the camera at all. Similar to the G2 ColorVu turret, this camera has impressed me with the inclusion of Acusense combined with its Darkfighter function. Once a separate series, this t echnology is now included as standard in the 5 line series of Darkfighter cameras and upwards mentioned earlier (the new Hik website lets you filter by 140dB).For almost 1 month now I have been testing out a OEM version of the Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL 2.8mm that I received from one of my suppliers. “The LightFighter series delivers crystal-clear images with true color reproduction in brightly lit or high contrast environments” – thanks to ultra-high 140 dB WDR technology (so here you have very bright and very dark areas it works well). A limited choice of high end cameras only. The king of the low light cameras – a premium offering featuring dual image sensors. (Powered by series includes the DS-2CD2T45FWD-I) ColourVu (4mp in Colour until: 0.0014 Lux then White light assistance)Īn extremely exciting new release providing the bigger sensor of the DarkFighter series and an a wide open lens – a range dedicated to being superb in low light and remaining in colour at all times while at an affordable cost – however a white light will be visible when it’s really dark rather than a more subtle Infra-Red glow, which may be a deal breaker for some. The ‘budget’ DarkFighter series – bigger lens + algorithm but not the bigger sensor so only a slight improvement over a non-dark fighter camera. ‘Powered’ by DarkFighter (4mp in Colour until: 0.008 Lux then Infra Red ) ![]() It’s all about being better in low light, a bigger image sensor and lens as well as software algorithm such as the DS-2CD5A46G1-IZ – these also have a full selection of connectivity options for professional installations. (Our existing blog post regarding 4k cameras can make for an interesting initial read: ) DarkFighter – Ultra 5 series (4mp in Colour until: 0.002 Lux then Infra Red) Hikvision are always pushing the boundary to bring better performing cameras to the market at an impressive price point although the array of technologies can be confusing, so we have tried to explain things in as simple a manner as possible. ![]()
