    IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO review

    ColorVu 3.0 - select models with 4 Mpx resolution (not 6 or 8)... https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/colorvu-products/?category=Network+Products&subCategory=Network+Cameras&series=Pro+Series&checkedSubSeries=NONE

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    yes - this should be fixable in firmware.. This is why for long time I hoped for resolution with a new firmware... But it looks like Dahua don't want "downgrade" new bright night color performance - so they will not limit that heavy use of AlwaysHDR. Or give us back manual control over it...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    is the same sensor (or new generation of the same sensor) from SmartSense as in older FULL COLOR (nor IR) cams - so old 5449 (not sold by Andy, but available in EU) or 5849-180 (Color4K-180 from Addy shop).. Or older HikVision ColorVu 2.0 (before hybrid).. not 5442/5842 - where is used...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    A few comments, about 54IR vs 54PRO vs Unifi G6/G6 PRO situation... - reddit teardown shows that Unifi G6 cams are using 1/1.8" OmniVision sensors - exactly the same as Dahua 5842.. We don't know what 1/1.2" sensor is used in G6 PRO - but there are only 2 on the market - one from OmniVision...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    And it could be even worse.. Now we how big boom for AI in datacenter. New data centers created are like crazy rabbits from hats all around world. In a few years we will have big switch to local AI - on mobile, on tablet, on computer, on home devices. Mostly due privacy reason and high prices...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Names of files are wrong. Base file contains a firmware (operating system plus Dahua software). A firmware.bin file contains additional AI data (for iVS, SMD etc) and very often is the (almost) same between releases (no need to update)

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    very strange jump from .6 to .11... file size for firmware.bin is the same, but it is different inside (different md5 sum).

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I wrote many times on this forum, that the only future / way how Dahua / HIK can upgrade is start to use Quad Bayer image sensors, created for mobile & sport cameras world... Those are 48 or 50 Mpx in little bigger sizes than we use in CCTV world (1/1.3" to 1") - single pixel is much much...

    Dahua NVR system

    You didn't write what NVR and cams models you have.. How old or how low in Dahua eco system they are.. It hard to tell what they can do... Configuration on cams and NVR should be done on web interface of cams & NVRS, using local connection (or VPN). Some features can be remotely configured by...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Axis have cameras with even bigger sensors. Don’t ask for price 99% consumer cameras have small 1/2.8 or 1/3” sensors Only a few companies have dedicated 1/1.8” models. Consumer Full color 1/1.2” cam model was one time freak accident by HIK/dahua

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    Ai Key… Ai port was temporary solution for stupid problem ubiquity created by not supporting any form of motion detection from ONVIF cams

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    New generation of Unifi Protect software with many upgrades... Plus new NVRs with view port (HDMI view) and Edge AI built-in (describing what is in video by AI - like 'man in white t-shirt and blue jeans walking with German Shepard dog over the street') No need to use extra hardware..
