I've been running a bunch of cheap 8mp cams with 1/2.7" sensors. Holy cow what an upgrade moving to 8mp with a 1/1.2" sensor! Night time performance with even just a little ambient light is amazing. I'm able to run a 1/100 shutter and still get a decent usable picture without cranking up the gain or IR lighting that attracts bugs. Daytime performance is mindblowing comparing to a cheaper cam. The bigger sensor gives you that much more data per pixel. You will want to run a higher bitrate than you would with a cheaper cam, just because there is so much more detail. They are a bit bigger than I'm used to so I had to 3d print some different junction boxes to hide the wiring.

These cameras work great one year later...they have excellent light in dark areas with minimal light..I use them with a dahua nvr.. not very sharp when zooming in on things

RTSP streams work great with Frigate software and Google Coral TPU for object detection. High quality camera.

Andy is great. I have several cameras from him. The nighttime performance is incredible. Very little light is needed to produce a great color image. If you do not have enough light, the camera has two built-in white LED lights that provide more than enough light to capture a great image at night. But no camera is magic, so you either need some visible light or be willing to use the built in light.

After some settings and adjustments, here are the outstanding results. Daytime almost looking into the sun. Night with the built-in LED setting at only 4 out 100. In the background, one may see a hi-tension tower almost 1KM away! Under magnification the power lines may be seen! Even in the dark one may see the tower.
