    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    GREAT reporting @steve1225 - sounds like still TBD on the vari-focals, especially WRT sensor technology, sensor size, and lens ... which has some(!) impact on image quality.

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    I appreciate the education @steve1225 and roger all that ... but it seems puzzling that since there are Chinese dashcam manufacturers (and DJI!) getting "high-tech sensors", why haven't any of those vendors expanded into the camera business as it seems like a would not be technically difficult...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Great info as always @steve1225 and roger that they are different markets/business approaches. What puzzles me is why HIK/Dahua don't at least offer a "premium" line that has the better sensors, SOC, etc. As you point out, Chinese dashcam vendors are using the Sony Starvis 2 sensors. What is...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Interesting chart @steve1225 - we'll find out soon enough what "Large pixel size, Large aperture" means in a vari-focal. I.e. the current fixed focals are F/1.0 with 1/1.8" sensors. So will they try to put that fast of lens in the varifocals (hopefully not closing down much in the tele end)...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Ditto what others said that the video doesn't really say/answer much besides it's a WHODUNIT ... or I guess WHATISIT?!? ;-) Regardless, thank you @steve1225 for flagging this since ideally after April 16th, there will be more info and I look forward to reading your usual excellent...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Thanks again @smiticans for the great info. BTW, since you seem to have great contacts at AXIS, a simple question on the 8MP 1/1.2" sensor versus 4MP 1/1.8" sensor is just ask 'em what the pixel size is - I'm wondering if it's the same, which (along with the sensor technology) defines the light...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    I should have been more clear @smiticans - "make me an offer" if you were going to retire your Q3538-LVE ... great you have a "trickle-down" use for it. BTW, looking at the Q3536 data sheet, it says it is 4MP 1/1.8" sensor ... whereas the Q3538 is a 8MP 1/1.2" sensor. I've seen these "types" of...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Fantastic info @smiticans - thanks for posting for all to see. Yea, I was guessing that AXIS probably has more advanced image processing in wide dynamic range images. Low-light is my main interest since I run 7/24 full color - no IR. BTW, since you are replacing your Q3538-LVE dome, if you want...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    FYI FWIW some discussion about AXIS camera in this Dahua thread. As I said over there, thank you @Parley for "taking one for the team" to order this camera and post some great info ... ditto @smiticans who has some excellent commentary.

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    GREAT info @tuvow - any chance you have some side-by-side image taken at night with the same/reasonable shutter speed? P.S. Just noticed this thread about the AXIS Q1808-LE ... thank you @Parley for "taking one for the team" to order this camera and post some great info ... ditto @smiticans who...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Just for grins, I was looking at the AXIS cams - and looking at moderate zoom camera, I saw the 1468 (8MP 1/1.2" sensor) and the 1808 (10MP 4/3" (!) sensor) ... there are probably others (better) that I missed as I'm not familiar with their product line. Now ... as pointed out, those are NOT...

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    With updated sensor technology (improved low-light capability - not too many mega-pixels) combined with a large aperture lens in a vari-focal. Tastes Great AND Less Filling - the "Light-Sucker" would sell like hot cakes! ;-)

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    Yea, but hasn't it been a while since the original 5442 was released ... and then the S3 version? There's gotta be something in the pipeline! ;-)

    Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something

    Awesome @tmxv4128 ... and if it is protected by the elements, you just pull some "dead cat hairs" and toss 'em on there which I presume is better audio solution? As it sounds like you well know, good audio requires some work (whether from webcams, recording, video, etc.) ... and I never thought...
