I suspect that box burn isn't from the camera LOL.
And that night image looks like crap LOL

What's the problem? In the NCIS I watched last night they had a photo just like that. They ran it through facial recognition and it got the correct hit within a few minutes.
I am planning to bench-test a G6 "Pro" with 1/1.2 sensor one of these days. Microcenter has open-box units available at half the $479 price, lol
Most of these sample photos / videos have a weaker sensor.
However, I can't stress this enough - where is the manual shutter / exposure adjustment setting? This can make a world of a difference
Ubiquiti, are you there?

I can at least confidently say that the perp in the pic is a conehead.
Ubiquiti - Academy - Designing for Evidence Capture
Why “cinematic” video is not the same as forensic truth. Modern security cameras are often marketed around bright night color, high frame rates, and cinematic smoothness. While these qualities look impressive in demos and playback, forensic evidence is captured in individual frames, not in how...
Its about freakin' time Ubiquiti acknowledged what really makes good quality surveillance video. HOWEVER, why have they not yet incorporated the ability to manually adjust shutter speed in UniFi Protect?!Ubiquiti - Academy - Designing for Evidence Capture

Either Ubiquiti is following hypocrisy or they are looking forward to implementing manual shutter adjustment in a future UniFi Protect update, who knows?
Reolink does the same thing. I learned about LPR based on their blogs and articles...too bad their cameras wouldn't do what the articles said LOL
I thought their web interface was a direct clone of Dahua's web interface, meaning that there should be an option to manually adjust shutter speed.

Right, they do allow you to set shutter speed. But you make it 1/2000 and at night the Dahua is all black and the Reolink still looks like daylight LOL. They don't honor the user input if it doesn't like what it does to the static image.
Definitely something's is not right. I heard Reolink does not listen to their own customers and their customer service sucks, lol

What it needs is for manufacturers to realise video lives matter. Until someone breaks free from the crowd & starts using larger format ie 1" plus, high quality sensors / processor in a reasonably priced camera, nothing much is going to change. Problem we have is little has changed in the last 2-3 yrs, apart from manufacturers are now using AI to try to improve pictures but at the end of the day, the original image is still the limiting factor and at night, the sensor's sensitvity / noise levels. AI can only do so much with adjustments just like anyone else.
Best images I've seen still remain the ones from the 35mm Sony CCTV camera released a few years back, and an App that allowed you to convert any DSLR camera into a video surveillance camera. Needless to say, the need for a DSLR made it an expensive way to go not least of which because most consumer level DSLR lenses aren't that great either. It' surprising how much difference a quality lens makes to the overall picture.

Yes, that tracks the experience my Users have reported from Reolink in the last year especially
