2026 New Release from EmpireTech
Dahua released new -LE "subversion" of 5459-PRO and 5459-IL lines... those have 2x less RAM memory and 8x less flash.. there is special much smaller firmware for it and it have only basic IVS + AcuPick (probably in 1.0 version).. No Video Meta Data, no animal support, no auto learning.. more...- steve1225

2026 New Release from EmpireTech
It looks like SmartSense at the end of 2025 released all 3 new image sensors with 1/1.8" - 2/4/8 Mpx.. So new 2026 and 2027 product releases can use them.. But 5459-PRO/-IL is 2025 product.. and 3449 TIOC PRO is 2024 product. So we wait for new 3/5/7 series cams using new tech..- steve1225

2026 New Release from EmpireTech
probably that product exists - it's 5442-IL (not -PRO) where you have AI-ISP processing disabled and in my opinion Dahua used the same sensor as in 5442-S3. But I didn't have chance to test it and prove it.. in last year I'm totally out of cctv market / tech - I went into rebuild my house which...- steve1225

2026 New Release from EmpireTech
it's simple.. because they couldn't release any better cam than 5442-S3 using only better sensor... there is NO better CCTV IR capable sensor available on Chinese market on this price range. the only way to go are Sony Starvis II sensors - but they are much much pricey and due anti China...- steve1225

Jesus... Stop this nonsense about sensors already. All these new WizColor 2/3/5 series cameras are built on the same sensors. And they're not bad - they were used in many cams before AI-ISP / WizColor non sense with good effects. The problem lies in the implementation of video transcoding from...- steve1225

it looks like AI-ISP 2.0 (WizColor X) solved biggest problem we had with WizColor cameras.. Much sharper moving objects (faces) due some new movement detection algorithm..- steve1225

One EU shop somewhere in the middle of Europe supports 27 countries with mostly 1-2 days delivery time and no tax / customs inside. @EMPIRETECANDY should look at this- steve1225

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... -

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...
