    Moving from BI to Protect?

    I have been using BI for many a year, but the lack of good AI postprocessing makes it lacking in today's day and age.

Has anybody had the opportunity to compare the 4K to the 4MP Colorvue cameras? The 4MP ones have 1/1.8"...

    4K camera choice

    You have to pick one 4k camera for outdoor use. Price is a minor factor within the consumer world. Say up to $500. I know no one model will fit everybody's needs but you get one pick. Thanks.
