If it is just stretching the image, then it would be false adverting on the manufactures part. When using a 960H camera without a 960H DVR, it will be stretched as the extra 100 (950H) lines are not there.Correct? (How would it look better if the DVR only records the same amount of lines)? The main part I would like to know is if the 960H camera or 1280H camera with the 960H or 1280H DVR actually add TVL lines/pixels like they are supposed to or if they are just stretching the image.

If it is adding lines/pixels, is it similar to the way a Blu-ray player upconverts a standard DVD? The Upconversion looks a lot better than the standard DVD but it not up to par with a HD movie even though it is getting closer with for the average human eye. SCB-5003 low light performance similar to HD Wisenet III models (obviously lower resolution)Ĭan you clarify your definition of "stretched"?ĭoes it mean stretched TVL lines or stretched pixels? Or does it mean they added an additional 100 (For 950H) TVL lines or pixels?

720p and 1080p obviously far, far better.

In full light, not stretched, captured at 4CIF resolution, the 1280H camera provides video similar to 900TVL, better than 960H. Zoomed on subject,difference even more obvious. Stretched 8:3 nonstandard aspect ratio vs. This is notably more expensive than many high TVL count analog cameras, the most expensive of which was ~$60, and even more than HDCVI cameras, which typically sell below $50.
Here are our key findings from this test: It is a shame that vendors are pushing stretched 960H and now super stretched 1280H analog. So, these product are still compatible already installed analog product without any gender or adding product.ģ) When you playback in DVR directly or with Client S/W, it shows 4:3 video with stretch vertically.Īdditionally, they provided 2 images: TVL Comparison Chart and a 1280H system architecture diagram. If you compare recorded data from 1280H and legacy D1 DVR, 1280H DVR shows better image quality.Ģ) Vertical line of 1280H product has 480 (576 for PAL) to keep legacy analog product. And DVR can up-sample the signal to keep image quality and detail information. Camera make more high frequency image with detail information. Prior to publication, we shared our concerns and test images with Samsung.ġ) 1280H is not image stretching. We tested Samsung 1280H against other analog and real HD cameras ( Samsung own WiseNet III models).Īs the comparison below shows, 1280H is similar to slightly better than analog but notably worse than either HD camera: However, even with 1280H stretched out, it shows noticeably less details than a true HD 720p camera. However, if you manually stretch out the 1280 x 480 image to the correct aspect ratio of 1280 x 960, it shows moderate quality improvements over a 4CIF version. Theoretically, Samsung can now claim that they have increased the resolution of analog cameras from the common 4CIF 704 x 480 (.337 MP) to 1280 x 480 (.614 MP) and then try to claim 'HD quality'.Īt 1280 x 480, as captured and displayed, the video is distorted. Those of you who have had the misfortune of using 960H will immediately notice it is the same absurd trick, simply taken to the next level by Samsung, stretching even wider. Furthermore, increasing pixel count / 'resolution' by stretching video is misleading. It warps the dimensions of objects and people, increasing the likelihood of evidentiary problems as the video does not accurately represent the scene. It is obvious that Samsung 1280H distorts the image / video extremely wide.
The screencast below shows how Samsung displays normal and super stretched images and video:

Notice how much wider the chart, license plate and person in the 1280H version clearly are. To show the extreme stretching, this comparison focuses just on the test chart and the subject: The 1280H resolution stretches the image by 81.8% horizontally, though Samsung denies this, see their response at the end. Here it is in Samsung's special 1280H (1280 x 480) mode (click on image for full size):īoth are the exact same scene, same time, just different resolutions. Here is the 'original' / 'regular' sized Samsung image from that camera / recorder (click on image for full size):
Their new 1280H offering significantly stretches video and is one of the most bizarre offerings we have ever seen.Įarlier this year, Samsung trumpeted that 1280H would "allow HD quality video to be deployed without the need to rip and replace analog infrastructure.” We bought the 1280H SCB-5003 box camera and its companion SRD-476D DVR so we could test this out.
