Undisclosed, yes, all cameras had a 1/30 shutter speed.

I've made an update to the report expressing how ambient street light from behind the cameras was present, and there was moonlight being cast upon the baseball field.

Excellent. It does amaze me the differences across the range of cameras under different environments. This in turn makes it very difficult to choose "the right camera" whilst trying to use one manufacturer for one job.

Having tests like this helps so much and I will say we still find ourselves doing the same sort of testing so often.

keep up the great work IPVM team !!

Awesome! Relentless quality work is your USP. On a lighter side, If I direct a young man to IPVM even before he hits the field, there is a good chance that he will start liking the industry :)

question why the avigilon was used that has WDR

and arecont was not able to have that same advantage.

Just a note.

Seth, this is NOT a shootout and that's why we only mentioned the camera models at the very bottom as a technical note. These images are meant to give users a big picture view of what various cameras types deliver in common scenes.

We could have only tested WDR models and that might be an interesting shootout in and of itself - a real world WDR shootout - but that's not the goal of this report.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think that could be interesting. Similarly, an integrated IR shootout using these types of scenes, etc. We'll look at this. Thanks!

It's good report.

but i just wonder how to see the advantage of the 5MP and 10MP camera's quanlity, in the PC' screen the 5MP and 10MP looks worse than the 1080 & 720P, so i need enlarge them on larger screen?

Yes, you will need to use digital zoom to show all the pixels and see if there are any advantages.

That said, many of the 5MP and 10MP shots look 'worse' because they are 'worse' in handling low light, bright light, etc.

Not all high megapixel cameras are worse, just Arecont high Megapixel cameras are worse.

Have you checked Bosch and Axis's new 4K p30 cameras ? Bosch's 4Kp30 cameras looks fantastic in ISC West live show 2014, which has both details and also "pixel quality".

Looking forward to seeing the benchmark of Bosch 4k p30 camera on IPVM.

thanks.

You are comparing two unreleased cameras (on a trade show floor) to released ones! :)

We do plan to test both when they are shipping - which should be soon.
