SD8C260PA1-HNF

[Phil.g00]

This camera intrigues me. It is a 2MP on a 1/1.8 starlight sensor. (60X Zoom with 500m IR)
I interpret the sensor/MP ratio to mean night vision should be outstanding.
However, I cannot find any footage anywhere on the web. Even Andy has no footage. Does anyone have this camera or is it just too new?
Does anyone else have any other experience with 2MP on a 1/1.8 sensor?
Any other comments are welcome.

Andy has gracefully offered to contact Dahua to enquire if there are further details about this camera.

I am thinking hard about pulling the trigger on this camera.
There are two similar models:
The SD8C260PA1-HNF (500m IR) and the SD8C260PA-HNF (250m IR with dual light fusion).
I assume that means that one model has only IR LEDs and the other has a mix of IR and white light LEDs.
The area I want to surveil has no distant lights, but it does have local lighting.
I have thermal cameras that can act as spotter cams.
Ideally, I'd want a camera that automatically changes to a colour picture depending on the scene's ambient light.
Has anyone related experience that might guide me in making a selection?

Well, I pulled the trigger on the SD8C260PA1-HNF (500m IR).
Andy said he'd test it is 100% before shipping it to me, and I have asked him to upload a day and night scene on his YT channel as it seems very little is known about this camera.

Cool. We can't wait to see the results, but I am sure it will be awesome on that MP/sensor ratio.

Yep, Love to see results for this

would also love to see the 4mp version honestly

No news from Andy yet.
