- 2x Mobius, 2 x SG9665GC, 2 x A119S, 2 x A119V3
Keeping the comparisons going:
Placed the Viofo A119V3 (FW 1.02) next to my A119S V1 (FW 4Vk) for a night comparison. Both cameras had CPL and WDR on.
First off, I think in the process of combing the two videos and re-encoding, some details were lost in the A119V3 video, as the video above shows the V3 having more motion blur than it actually does. Here's some still shots to demonstrate:
From the split video:
Here you can see the detail from the A119S looks sharper than the A119V3, but this really isn't the case.
Same scene (although slightly further away), this time taken directly from the source video:
A119S
A119V3
So, takeaway here is take split videos comparisons with the understanding that whenever videos are re-encoded (especially if the videos are at different resolutions, like these two videos), the editing/encoding process can introduce new variables.
To that end, a couple more still shots for comparison:
A119S
A119V3
A119S
A119V3
A119S
A119V3
And why I like to use a Mobius with a 12mm lens:
My thoughts:
For nighttime performance, the A119S and A119V3 are very similar. To my eyes, the A119V3 is slightly brighter, giving some more details in dark area. But the A119S is no slouch, and still holds up well. Neither do a good job at reading license plates at night unless you are very close.
If I had an A119S and was considering the A119V3, personally I'd hold onto the A119S, especially thanks to @BCHobbyist for the excellent firmware that has elevated the A119S even further.
