Different Night Time Modes Color or B/W

Post by Revo2Maxx »

Hello all.. So there are many things that can go on when trying to set up your camera... One person might have some issues with Picture Quality and other might have issues with not seeing the whole picture... So while I like to have my camera that I am going to show in Color and HLC mode this mode isn't going to be the best for everyone. I have more then 1 camera doing duty and some are Color with IR. Or Color without... Problem is that it is hard to say what one should doto make a picture better for their needs.. It is best that you really do some testing to see what works best for you...

So first of all.. This camera pictures are going to be in 720P and while most people don't use that low of quality you can see by the pictures provided that it can look just as bad as some night pictures of High MP cameras... Main use for the camera is the back door. I do have 2 other cameras on the Back door as well. 1 in BW and other in Color that gets the door facing this camera... Then there is another camera that you can see the IR from in the Reflections when I have this camera in B/W and sees everything this one don't However what isn't shown is that there is a Motion Light that does come on and ads secondary light for my camera on the garage... Plus there are other cameras around that catch all of these spots as well..

So to be fair it is not going to be 100% the same for your setup.. One when my Camera is in B/W without IR from the camera there are other IR on even though they are in Low IR do to being Smart IR... Plus the Light on the left of the picture in B/W has 2 different lights IR and Flood from back yard about 60 to 80 feet respectfully. Normally I have 2 other IR lights on out there that are not on because my DOME is offline right now and I have the 2 IR lights that let my PTZ dome see at night because it is older OLD tech 960h 37x camera. Didn't get it installed after repaired and the onset of VERY Cold weather... Don't do well in the cold anymore lol... I have name of the pictures added to the camera name to make it easy to know what was BLC or WDR and so on... Now going to look at the PIctures I seen they were not all there so I went took some more to have a Complete idea. Info in the Picture of what Mode it is in. 11 in Total...
