Advice on ELP or Kayeton OV sensors outdoors

[kuchars22]

Hi my sim setup is OUTDOORS only, never indoors, so my choice of cameras are based on natural available light, to hook up to Kinovea

I’m looking at the ELP OV4689 rolling shutter or the OV9281 B&W global shutter, or the Kayeton equivalent of the OV9821 in colour.

Does anyone have any experience in using any of these in outdoor available light? Would there still be issues with decreasing exposure/increasing shutter speeds if overcast? I ask as I heard that the Kayeton version doesn’t allow gain control in Kinovea, and wanted an up-to-date opinion since that response was some time ago.

thanks

I don’t know about the Kinovea gain settings but I think they should auto gain and set the shutter speed based on available light. I remember reading something about a listed manufacturer having some software. You could try to find and gain access to the settings that way.

Always choose a global shutter. Color should be fine as long as you’re not using them at dusk.
