Code: Select all
I have a farm with about a dozen Amcrest cameras.
Some (but not all) of them present very poor colors especially green.
Here are two photos to show the problem. Both taken at the same time.
The first is taken with the phones camera which shows the true colors. The second, more brown shows the Amcrest photo.
The Amcrest camera makes it look like the grass is all brown as if it's the middle of Winter when actually it's Spring here and everything is green.
The Amcrest camera also seems to have too many shadows and poorly lit places in the image.
The sky actually looks better in the Amcrest snapshot. So Blues seem to be good. It's just the greens (or maybe Reds?)
I have about 8 of the ASH43 cameras and only some of them do this while the others are fine.
If I try to adjust the hue the Amcrest camera becomes heavily green over green and looks like the Hulk color.
If I try to adjust the Saturation it just washes out and looks very un natural.
I have 8 of this exact same model camera all purchased this year. Some are perfect color and then there a 3 like this.
Maybe these cameras have bad CMOS lenses right from the factory?
