Thread 'Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T'

Based on this thread about the lower end 2449-PRO and the better 3449-PRO, many of us wanted to see how it would perform in our situations instead of ideal situations in a marketing video.

The EmpireTech 4M-T camera boasts the following:
  • 4MP on the ideal 1/1.8" sensor
  • Two-way talk
  • Infrared and white light
  • Red/blue siren lights
  • Audio alarm capabilities
The full capabilities and purchase options can be found on @EMPIRETECANDY website and Amazon store. As of right now, it is only available in the 2.8mm version.

My first impressions are that...

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

Dahua released new 5x59-PRO camera lineup with F1.0/F1.2 apertures and WizColor technology:


But also released new 5x59-IL Smart Dual Light cams with F1.6/F1.8 apertures and without WizColor technology:


Both lines looks almost identical (Smart Dual Light have extra Z4E models with telephoto both have extra Z4E models), both are using the same new firmware line...

I didn't know you had alien cats. At least that's how AI thinks. Very green at night! All a bit COD Spec Ops.

Definite winner in the 5442. Only area the new camera wins in is it does a very good job of removing the mosquito noise but as discussed previously, it's not too hard when the picture is static as the background reference is always there. That kind of AI could be added to any camera although with the current motion issues, I'm sure most would at present prefer it without.

Whilst I do like a saturated image, there's a definite loss of detail compared to the 5442.

In fairness though, if you didn't have a back to back comparison to make with the 5442, you'd probably not be unhappy with the new camera on static images. It's the low light / night, with motion where it really trips up based other people's previous videos, and when compared to the 5442, it's clear to see it's a small retrograde step in terms of picture quality, probably a larger one if it weren't for AI. Not sure the new sensor is really an improvement. But if the benefits of the AI outweigh the negatives, then it's not a bad camera, it's just not the class leader in my eyes.

Reactions: Clark Griswald and bigredfish
Dahua released on website new firmware for TIOC-PRO (IPC-HX3XXX-Goethe_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V3.140.0000000.21.R.251206), which have also AI-ISP on/off switch in configuration page.

Interesting is that after upgrading from older firmware, this switch will be default to OFF...

Looks like Dahua starts to hide the current AI-ISP implementation in current cams based on actual hardware from SOC manufacturers. Looks like this is not working as it should and Dahua knows that this can't be corrected in firmware...

maybe future version which will use next gen hardware / SOC will change that...
