***** ** **** ****, ***** *** several ******* *** ********:

  • Super *** ***** ** ****** *******: In 2019, "super low light" models are now common at all price ranges, with low cost fixed lens models from Dahua and Hikvision to high end larger imager models from Avigilon and Axis at ~$2,000+. What was once a rare high end feature is now found in a broad range of models.
  • Low ***** ***** ** *** ******* ***********: Based on tests of color low light cameras spec'd from 0.1 to 0.00022 lux, it is more clear than ever that minimum illumination ratings are meaningless. Cameras with "high" minimum illumination ratings ratings (i.e. 0.1 lux) frequently outperformed those claiming 0.005 lux or lower specs. Users should be skeptical of extreme minimum illumination specifications.
  • Resolution *** ******** *******: Camera resolution was not directly correlated to performance. For example, the Avigilon H4 Pro and Axis Q1798-LE tested above average, while Dahua and Vivotek 4K models were below average. Hikvision's 4MP ColorVu camera outperformed many other more expensive 1080p models, as well.

***** ****** ****. ************ ** *** section ***** **Newer **. ***** ****** ******, since you have newer models from most of the manufacturers why are you comparing a newly released camera to a model that is 3 years old, instead of similar models? Seems odd since electronics always improve with time, chipsets, technology. I'd expect a new Axis model to outperform a 3 year old Panasonic or 2 year old Hanwha. Were all cameras viewed through a VMS (which) or direct through the browser? Did that make a difference?
