On that page there was a lot of things said that seemed to indicate it would be great for a Security Camera night vision, and then that one line you pointed out really put the Kibosh on that.
I mean, how could I take anything seriously after reading that they had to factor in Gravity to get a good performance:
At least now I know how to spot misleading blurbs thanks to them. (Won't be fooled again)
[codeUltra Low Light: This low light camera is based on STAVIS Ultra Low Light IMX462 image sensor, which is capable of capturing visible and near-infrared images with very low noise even in extremely low-light conditions or no light (near 0 lux).
[/code]
NIR = forget about it responding to IR.
"Better NIR" means any prior versions were garbage to begin with and don't expect the current version to be much better.
"Low Light" = Don't expect to see much after the sun sets.
================
I realized the IMX519 probably wasn't good at night, I just wanted to experiment with the upper resolutions. I listed it because you asked me what other Arducams I had.
I just don't think I want to try any more of anyone's Camera lineup without seeing some proof that it can in fact be made to return some fantastic IR illuminated night video/images with the methodology on how they got it performing that way. Just burns up to much time waiting for cameras to arrive and then finding out the real story when you try them out.
I mean, how could I take anything seriously after reading that they had to factor in Gravity to get a good performance:
Had to Chuckle over the Gravity bit, I think they meant Green Sensitivity.High G Sensitivity: Up to 10471 G sensitivity of IMX462 camera. Gravity sensitivity is an important indicator of camera performance in low light conditions. Higher the G sensitivity, better is the low light performance.
