    T54PRO-ZE Field-of-View (and change in aperture/exposure) as focal length changes

    The aperture is larger at smaller focal lengths and smaller at larger focal lengths. It's actually staying the same size physically, but the aperture number is calculated using a mathematical formula based on focal length. So as focal length increases the aperture has to become larger to...

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-T54PRO-AS 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP WizColor

    I did check it. Same result as you showed. The histogram is cut from the bottom, resulting in deeper blacks. No other change. I get similar results when jumping between soft and standard style, but there is more noise in dark areas.

    T54PRO-ZE Field-of-View (and change in aperture/exposure) as focal length changes

    I had exactly the same brightness drop in my T5442T-ZE review. 1 exposure value from wide to tele.

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-T54PRO-AS 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP WizColor

    Hi bigredfish. It’s been a while :) That was my first thought when I saw this HDR-like image. The nighttime footage reveals it even more. Shadows are much brighter and noisier. Highlights look much cleaner. It appears that they have increased shadows using a curve adjustment, which can often...

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-T54PRO-AS 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP WizColor

    Hi everyone, here is a review of the new IP camera I purchased from Andy, the T54PRO-AS, which is likely a sibling model to Dahua’s recent HDW5459H-ASE-PV-PRO. It features a 4-megapixel sensor paired with an f/1.0 lens. The camera supports Smart Dual Light (IR + warm light) and includes a...

    Sensors used in Dahua cams

    That would be almost impossible today, because Dahua is no longer providing any info if the sensor is Sony’s STARVIS. I believe, for the past few years Dahua has switched mostly to Chinese sensor manufacturers. I really doubt, there is any Sony/OmniVision sensor in recent Dahua camera. Right now...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Issue 6 seems to be a matter of bad camera focusing. Your 4K-X looks like it is soft at infinity. The 4K-T looks fine.

    Dahua Color 4K-X in-depth review

    @CCTVCam Extra tests? I haven't added anything else since publishing this review. I've expressed myself wrong. I don't think the 4K-X was the worst on COLOR out of all three cams, but it was definitely not the best one. Yes, the sentence "To me the 4K-X wins in all modes." shouldn't be there...

    Dahua Color 4K-X in-depth review

    @CCTVCam You are right. I did it because I compared these camera as a whole, not just sensors itself. Thus all parameters matter. Resolution also. If this was only sensor comparison, I would have to omit for example lens brightness. The fact that 4K-X is better at night than 5442 and 4239...

    Hi everyone, today I present you a review of recently announced Dahua Color 4K-X camera. This is a 4K resolution model with ultra bright f1.0 lens and huge 1/1.2” sensor. The combination of bright lens and such big CMOS, promises excellent image quality both in broad daylight as well as at...

    Dahua T5442T-ZE in-depth review

    Hi guys, Today I present you a review of Dahua T5442T-ZE. This model is equipped with 2.7-12mm zoom lens and an excellent 4 megapixel 1/1.8 inch CMOS sensor. Compared to 5442TM-AS-LED and 5442TM-AS models, which I’ve already reviewed, this one has twice as much RAM available. The housing is...

    Review of Dahua NVR5208-8P-4KS2E + Dahua HFW7842H-Z cooperation

    I hate to hear my recorded voice. And my spoken language really sucks. Just turn down the volume if you can't stand it ;)

    Anyone interested in reviews of other brands?

    @john-ipvm Sure I've seen them. Otherwise I wouldn't dare to give an opinion. You've got plenty of tests and reviews, but to me these are superficial. The thing is, you never go beyond your procedure. It's always... this camera is behaving like this in our hall test, and like this in our another...
