inexpensive used camera night comparisons

Shot through window, pics are screen shots off a mac using an Axis 2400. Only light is a pole light at the front of the houses. Crude comparisons but thought they might help someone.

1st is Samsung 130B (color only) vs. Bosch 0355 (B&W on right), both f1.4.

Bosch 0355 vs. CNB VCM24VF. The CNB has a unique picture, perhaps the Monalisa is doing compression to achieve this, also perhaps why running into a 241S it always has at least 50% higher data rate (day or night) than other cameras tried.

HCCM474M (Honeywell) vs. Bosch 0355. Honeywell was pretty grainy so did not even bother to straighten out the shot, nice pic during the day though and really small. Honeywell does not have an ICR I think but switches to B&W at night. Must not have turned off all the interior lights as I see a small reflection in the window.

Bosch 0355 (bottom) vs. Nuvico (top, color). Started using better lenses f1.0 and swapped around in this example (one camera w/ f1.0 and one w/ f1.4).

Bosch LTC0355 0.09 lux 50 IRE f1.2, 570TVL

Samsung SCC-130B CCD IT type S-HAD CCD 0.25 Lux (F1.2, 50IRE), 330TVL (color)

Honeywell HCCM474M Interline Transfer CCD Sony ExView 0.4 lux Color/0.1 lux (BW) @ F1.2 (50 IRE), 470TVL

CNB VCM-24VF 0.1Lux color 0.03 BW SONY Super HAD CCD II, 600TVL (color, true day/night)

NUVICO NVCC-41NA2 0.1 Lux SONY SuperHAD CCD Sensor, 480 TVL (color)

My old expensive cameras test:

Day

Can see the difference that F:1.0 lens makes .. thanks

Was that a Tamron or another brand?

One thing Id like to test is a CNB Monalisa dome at F:1.4 vs. a Monalisa Box with a F:1.0 lens ..

Night without frame integration:

Tamron megapixel off my 1344. Someday I'll do the box, right now mounted under the back porch...

Night with frame integration:

(sorry about quality, very high JPEG compression level, to reach less than 150 KB.....)

All cameras, except LTC0495, is 1/2' sensor size, all lenses is the same.

Also, all pictures includes moving object.

Hi Mike. Just curious, which one was Samsung and Which one was the Bosch.

Oops I tried to do it x vs y, where x = left y = right. I'll go back and fix that. Bosch is B&W and on the right.

Nice, thanks!

Took a crack at pulling the specs on those

LTC0510 50 IRE 0.032 lux f1.2

LTC0495 50 IRE 0.59 lux / 0.08 lux (Monochrome mode)

LTC0620 50IRE 0.31 lux / 0.052 lux f1.2

Lunavision HO-S221 30% video 0.05 lux f.14

Lunavision HO-S321 30% video 0.003 lux f1.4

Samsung 0.05Lux@F1.2 (Color), 0.006Lux@F1.2 (B/W)

---------

Amount of light to get 1 lux at sensor

f1.0 5 lux

f1.2 7.5 lux

f1.4 10 lux

f1.6 13.3 lux

f1.8 16 lux

Here is a (somewhat blurry) pic of the Tamron lens on the left (the one in previous posts that gave me such a problem with day/night focus shift on the Axis P1344), and a Computar on the right that does not have this problem (both are 3-8mm).

Tamron Megapixel lens not good.....

But Tamron SD lens is perfect

Starange, but fact.

Lunavision cameras is most expensive in this test. But most worse, also.....

Bosch not "lie" excellent cameras in real situation.

Samsung "lie" (excellent noise reduction), but very good, and cheapest in my comparison company (y)

Appreciate all the help you provide on the forum, so I grabbed that camera out from under the deck today. Here is the best I can do (as I've sold the Monalisa dome). On the left 0355, on the right BBM24F. Two pics, one is with the DNR cranked up on the CNB.

And just for kicks, the same scene partly illuminated from a MIR1000 sitting on the back deck. Cameras are inside, set up in the side bay window.

One other thing I'll mention about the BBM24F, it has a connector which is (partly) for external control of the D/N but says "option" in the manual. It does work however.
