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

    Have you seen any new options/features, albeit the Release Notes imply there are (basically) none. Curious to hear your impression if any different in image/video quality, especially at night.

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

    Datasheet links for the 4MP eyeball PRO and PRO-LE. ... not seeing much differences ... plus min illumination numbers are the same, so presumably same old sensor ... :-( To echo your comment about "less storage and RAM", those numbers are absent from the LE's specs ...

    Any more details and/or links along with ballpark timetable @OD1 ? A truly new (improved) sensor would be welcome.

    I think you guys are being a bit harsh on @EMPIRETECANDY about the price increases - bazillions of products are affected. For instance, this Samsung 4TB NVMe drive is currently(!) priced at $650. I bought it 8 months ago for ... wait-for-it ... wait-for-it ... $240. That's a 170% increase ...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    So I'm confused - are you saying that since the SD5R404GA has a Starvis sensor, it should have better low-light capability than the PRO and 5442-S3 ... because it has a better technology sensor? If I try to compare using Dahua's spec's (ideally should be with similar conditions), it says for...

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

    So besides ID'ing a BOBcat as a human or a bobCAT as a feline, is there ANY noticeable difference in the image quality between the .4 and .6 firmware, especially in low light with moving objects?

    Thanks @Looksee - I typically go Dahua->Products->Network Cameras->etc. ... and the Firmware is there (as a zip file) but no Release notes in that archive. I appreciate you educating me! P.S. And yes, those Release Notes are NOT encouraging ... and LOL @bigredfish on your disappointed there is...

    I downloaded the .zip file from the Dahua website for "DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Fourier_MultiLang_PN_Stream4_V3.146.0000000.6.R.260401" dates 2026_05_02 ... but didn't see any release notes/PDF? Yet-another-person interested in hearing/seeing(!) how it does in low light ...

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    While I appreciate the humor, lets keep an open mind on the new update ... albeit I would be impressed if it can truly "fix" the "Pigpen 'Cloud of Dust'" Good news is the assessment should be pretty quick with the the "Headless Horseman" (aka golf cart driver) on hot standby for testing.

    WizColor 2.0 is coming (15 April)

    Just to clarify @steve1225 since you said "01 April" ... are you "messing" with us ... or is this legit?
