World first CCTV SD & HD test chart in one!

This chart is designed for both Analogue SD cameras, as well as HD and
Megapixel cameras (A$500+shipping).
Download the Setup and Usage manual here.

There are four test chart snap-shots from four different lenses shown on the left.

For obvious reasons there are no lens manufacturer's names mentioned.

All lenses are claimed to be mega-pixel lenses.

The same camera is used throughout and all camera settings are identical. The angle of view, compression settings and illumination are also identical.

All lenses are focused for best possible image.

Even though the exported images are reduced and cropped (for the purposes of displaying on the web site) the image quality is obviously different, the top one being the best, and lowest being the worst.

All lenses are vari-focal, mega-pixel and within a similar price range.

Lens quality may be one of the most important factors in obtaining the best possible image for your cameras.

The ViDi Labs test chart is one of the easiest and optimal methods for objective comparison and testing.
