2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

Great Price a mini-PTZ 4MP on the ideal 1/1.8" sensor! And a Starvis sensor, so should be pretty good.

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 Color:
0.001 @ F1.0 - SD5R404GA
0.0003 @ F1.2- HDW5459H-ZE-PV-PRO

Should be about equal to the 5442 S3

Weird I can't find it on Dahua's website?

OK found it

How are the white LED's activated? I don't see any reference to "Smart Illumination"?
Can they be activated by IVS?

Can someone get a sample and MAKE some testing?

For a split second I was excited:

Still no 180 camera with decent sensors and IR.
 
Where is this camera? I can't find it on Andy's website.

I asked he told me he only had 1 and it was gone/sold

I briefly thought it might be a front door solution …

This camera would be a good candidate to cover a front door situation like you mentioned, but really wouldn't be of good use in the open because the zoom is short

Would be great if it had at least 12X zoom, but I suspect the form factor would be a bit larger to accommodate the larger sensor and optics to make it happen

My very old Hikvision mini ptz is starting to have problems recently near the front door area. I was thinking about replacing it with this camera. I don't need auto track or high zoom for this spot as I have PTZ5A4K-25X on the other side of corner.

I also like the PTZ425DB-AT-R with the discreet Smoke Dome Cover but can't get over the 1/2.8 sensor and higher price compared to this new camera. The SD5R404GA-HNF 1/1.8" PTRZ is cheap enough to give a try and no big deal even if it didn't work out as compared to the higher price cameras.
