Hitosino released an OEM product from Hikvision Colorvu Ds-2cd2347g1-Lu and of course, with the same specs and features as the original Hikvision released. And there are many other Hikvision OEM products similar to other models that Hitosino released. How good is it compared with Amcrest ip4m-1048ew color night vision?
What this product does
In order to be able to provide color night vision like during the day, keep the light around the security camera so it doesn’t drop below the minimum illumination and use a wide aperture so that maximum light can enter the image sensor.
Color Night Vision
For this reason, the Hitosino OEM camera from Hikvision Ds-2cd2347g1-Lu colorvu is equipped with 2x non-dazzling lighting which illuminate ambient light around the camera to keep the surrounding light not to drop below the minimum illumination so that the camera can provide color night vision like during the day.
Both Hitosino and Amcrest we discussed here are supposed for businesses, for homes you may consider floodlight cameras such as Victure floodlight camera, or Lorex v261lcd floodlight camera.
Wide diaphragm
You can compare with Amcrest ip4m-1048ew which comes with 2x white LEDs for ambient illumination for color night vision. Both Hitosino and Amcrest provide the same minimum illumination spec up to 0.001Lux. However, Hitosino oem is equipped with wide f/1.0 aperture lens as opposed to Amcrest which is only f/1.6 aperture.
WDR
When there is condition where both strong light and dark shadow are existing within the camera frame, the standard security camera will have difficulty providing a good image and tend to produce overexposed or underexposed images. For this reason, WDR (wide dynamic range) feature is applied to security cameras to provide a balanced image so that the image is not too overexposed or underexposed.
Both Hitosino and Amcrest security cameras are equipped with WDR feature but at different levels. Hitosino offers 120dB wdr while Amcrest 140dB. Of course, with 140db wdr it is better than 120db wdr.

To enable face recognition you need to connect to any compatible Amcrest NVR with AI feature such as NV4208e-ai 8 channel, Amcrest NV4216-ai, or nv4216e-ai 16 channel NVR systems
