    EU follies

    Also coal-fired power plants. As well as fuel refineries. Unfortunately, there was a lot of it within 50 km of where I lived. Which does not change the fact that I lived in a town outside a large city, where everyone heated in stoves and smoked from communions. The climate is changing. As a...

    EU follies

    As I told in post before - I had 3-5 infections a year treated with antibiotics for all my living in Poland. They always occurred during periods of cold weather (autumn/winter/early spring), when people burned a lot of stoves (this is how old or poor houses in Poland are heated to this day - not...

    EU follies

    As someone who learned in high school how large electric power grids are built and as someone who understands the complexity of securing power supplies for large facilities (like data centers) - it drives me crazy when I read such statements by right-wing politicians and commentators who don't...

    Insta360 use sport cameras 1/1.28" sensors (4:3 format) with 8K * 6K (48Mpx) resolution each. But due fact that this is fisheye (circle in 1:1 ratio), only some pixel are used... 72Mpx (double 36Mpx) is actual resolution from both sensors which can be used in photo mode.. in Video mode this is...

    Lower end Dahua cam to be paired with flood light.

    As other people said, You should look at TIOC-PRO line (like 3449H-AS-PV-PRO). they have even better night performance that 5442, they have both IR + white light (where white light can be activated by Motion). Official prices for TIOC-PRO in Poland are lower that 5442. You can also order those...

    Is there an affordable 1/1.8" CMOS 180 Pano camera w/ INFRARED night vision?

    180 degrees cams are very popular ones... Both Dahua & HIK should release new 180 degrees cams based on WizColor technology (IR + white LEDs on 1/1.8" sensor and AI processing). FullColor (only white LEDs) technology is too old, also 5849-A180 have many strange problems / limitations...

    Is there an affordable 1/1.8" CMOS 180 Pano camera w/ INFRARED night vision?

    for now only low-end TIOC variants (3849) and very high end (83242) have IR... 5849-A180 is white only (don't see IR).. the same situation is in HIK catalog. 5849-A180 is 3 years+ old model, but done in FullColor technology from 2020... We wait for WizColor models which will replace that line...
