Where are the 2025 Models?
What kind of improvements are you expecting from the newer Q35 domes that would justify an upgrade? -

Where are the 2025 Models?
Unfortunately I don’t have side-by-side comparisons. -

Where are the 2025 Models?
Haha, no worries! I agree—the 5849 would be a more fair comparison, though it lacks IR, and unfortunately I don’t have one to test. It’s pitch black here at night, so IR is a must for my setup. -

Where are the 2025 Models?
The 5842 model has a 1/1.8" sensor as I mentioned in my post. -

Where are the 2025 Models?
I have the Dahua 5442-S2 (4MP on a 1/1.8" sensor), the Dahua 5842-S3 (8MP on 1/1.8"), and the Axis P1468-LE (8MP on a 1/1.2"). The 5442 and the Axis perform similarly at night, thanks to their ideal balance between resolution and sensor size. That said, the Axis delivers noticeably better image... -

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
License plate recognition has actually worked really well for me with Dutch plates. I reached out to Ubiquiti because I find it hard to believe that the AI Port only supports an 8 Mbps output stream—it seems more like a bug to me. Unfortunately, their support hasn’t been very helpful so far. I... -

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
It also seems that the AI Port itself can’t process a stream at 20 to 30 Mbps. I hadn’t noticed it at first, but after reviewing some of the recordings, I realized that many of them have brief skips—usually missing about a second of video. I compared them to recordings made at the same time by... -

Unifi AI Port- Works great!
I ordered the AI Port to evaluate its performance and paired it with an Axis P1468-LE 4K camera. Vehicle, person, and license plate recognition work very well, but face and animal detection leave a lot to be desired. One thing that really surprised me is that the maximum supported recording... -

Ubiquiti releases Protect Generation 6 Cameras - G6 Bullet, G6 Turret, G6 Instant
Yeah, it’s a bummer. I’d be happy to pay a premium for Ubiquiti hardware if at least they would match picture quality of Dahua 5442 and 5842. Just because I would still really like to use UniFi Protect software, instead of Blue Iris or Dahua NVR.- tuvow

Ubiquiti releases Protect Generation 6 Cameras - G6 Bullet, G6 Turret, G6 Instant
I think it looks pretty bad to be honest. Considering the amount of ambient light, look at 31:18. Someone is walking by and it is very difficult if not impossible to identify his face. It's also very difficult to see the face details of the reviewer if you look at 31:30, even though he's...- tuvow

Best image sensor?
The Axis P1468-LE retails around $1,000 and has very nice image quality, 4K resolution, a great 1/1.2" sensor and optical zoom. None of the Dahua and Hikvision 1/1.2" cams support IR night vision, but this Axis camera does.- tuvow

Fixed-Focal vs Vari-Focal
Comparing IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 (Fixed-Focal) to IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 (Vari-Focal), there seems to be a few advantages with the Fixed-Focal: Cheaper 50m max illumination versus 40m max illumination F1.6 versus F1.8, so I assume slightly better light sensitivity? Does the Fixed-Focal have any downsides in... -

Ubiquiti's AI Turret
I have the 5442-S2 and the 5842-S3 so I’m not looking for reviews of those. I was hoping someone maybe already made a direct comparison between Dahua’s 5842-S3 and Ubiquiti’s AI Turret. I’m curious how the picture quality compares. Unfortunately most AI Turret reviews so far are done by tech...- tuvow
