    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    Your images look so much clearer than mine, but I am using hik cameras all around the property. Might have to change over to duaha. Are you running blue iris? Sorry for the questions, I'm a complete noob

    The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection

    Thanks for the replies, I used the wrong terminology, I ment aperture size not lens size. I currently have a 8mp darkfighter bullet camera with 1 1/8 cmos and f 1.6 and the picture at night is not exactly high quality. Its OK.

    The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection
