I took the plunge with a cheap colorvu camera to see just what I could do at night and was very impressed with its low light performance. I have the DS-2CE10DFT-F. I wanted to try this out on my analogue box before upgrading to IP, although I now see that the the IP colorvu range goes to 4MP only and I’d like a 5MP if possible but that’s a query for another day.
The issue I’m having is the camera seems to be switching randomly it’s ‘interpretation’ of what it’s seeing, switching between a colder rendering to a warmer more realistic rendering of the scene under the yellow sodium street lights. I’ve attached a video for reference.
It also seems to only happen when I activate the WDR mode. On the default mode this isn’t an issue.
Is this common amongst all colorvu cameras or a sign of a defective camera?
sample video > IMG_1201.MOV
The change in colour is enough to trigger an alert.
I’m keen to understand this before I purchase any more.
thanks in advance.
