Due to sensitive location of these cameras I will likely not be posting samples, this will not go down well as understandably people like to see samples! myself included. But, I am carrying out thorough testing and evaluation, my findings will be logged on here for others. My testing is fastidious, of that you can be assured, I am also testing this camera in zero light conditions, no ambient at all. Am currently running some IR tests, will then switch back to full colour for further testing. Currently I can say that a common theme is repeating, that is to say freezing motion with this camera is quite a challenge, more so in poor light or total darkness. Daytime I have managed to nail this down but requires shutter of 0-1ms, possibly this could be set to 0-2ms or even 0-3ms in better lighting. Weather here at the moment is overcast around 13000lux with some sunshine spells but not many! Gain is also better kept low with regards motion, it does not respond well to NR being pushed up either, this has been noted by others already, during daylight hours I have had NR at close to zero, literally around 4 for both. It should be further noted that vehicles are crossing this camera scene at approximately 45 degrees, between 30-40mph, just for reference, this is quite challenging for stopping motion I realise, but nonetheless a good test. My 5442 bullet can manage this task without issues, day and night.
For reference, my take on freezing motion is for moving objects to look equally as sharp as the static ones in the scene.
It is very early days with this new model range, so expect plenty of fine tuning to come via firmware.
