Last test we rotated Hikvision’s 3.8-16mm F1.5 – an 8MP IR-corrected 1/1.8-inch (9.2mm) lens – with Hikvision’s 11-40mm 1/1.8-inch 8MP IR-corrected lens. This includes Hikvision’s SMART technologies, which include face detection, intrusion detection, line-crossing detection and object counting, on-board ANPR analytics, Smart Defog and EIS (electronic image stabilization). In the engine room for this test is Hikvision’s Darkfighter DS-2CD6020FHWD(-A), distributed locally by Central Security Distribution and Ingram Micro, Darkfighter has a 2MP ½-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor and dishes up 60fps, 120dB of WDR, and 3D DNR digital noise reduction among a lot of other cool stuff. This passion makes it difficult to be objective about Darkeye, which looks like the love child of Sigma’s warm 17-50 Ex HSM DX zoom and Nikon’s slightly soft but gloriously colourful 25-50 AI-S reporter.
Hikvision darkfighter 16mm manual#
I own about 20 manual lenses – primes and zooms – and am enslaved to the metallic syrup of manual zoom and focus.
Perhaps I should confess to a conflict of interest at this point. In the case of Darkeye, you pay for what you get – it’s $A810 list, so this is an application-specific lens. When it comes to lenses, you get what you pay for. At once it’s a lens capable of snaring the best possible performance from the camera wearing it and the answer to a prayer that lens quality will stop its slide to the abyssal plains of low cost. WHEN you’re a lens junkie, a piece of glass like Hikvision’s Darkeye represents something mysterious and wonderful. We tested Hikvision Darkfighter in SEN a while back but post-SecTech Roadshow, I jumped at the chance to re-test the camera with Hikvision’s new Darkeye SLA lens.
