SecTech Roadshow 2016: Battle of the CCTV Cameras!

Meet the contenders at this year’s SecTech Camera Shootout where we’ll test the best CCTV cameras in the business across 3 categories, Best Lowlight/All-Rounder, Best Compact Entry Dome and Best 4K/5MP Plus in low light, backlight and IR light, paying special attention to motion blur. 

SECTECH Roadshow’s Camera Shootout (pre-register now and get free parking!) is a chance for manufacturers and distributors to show installers, integrators, end users and consultants just how good their cameras are in objective applications. We’re going to be looking at performance in typical light, with back light, in low light and with external IR in all 3 categories.  

At all times we’ll be paying attention to key parameters like motion blur, colour rendition, contrast, sharpness, flare and ghosting, latency, ISO noise and noise suppression and rebuild artefacts. We’re especially interested in motion blur in unassisted low light given blur plays such an important role in denying face recognition, LPR and identification of moving vehicles. Now we know what we’ll be testing for at SecTech’s Camera Shootout, let’s meet the contenders!
