    B54IR-Z4E Low Quality With Vehicle Motion

    Both AI Codec with CBR and ABR DON'T extend I-frames.. I don't see any reason why it could create any problems for BI.. the only dynamic thing is bandwith and quality settings here... both for I-frames and delta-frames.. Only VBR (on both AI-Codec and Smart-Codec) do that...

    GS-CMOS sensor!!! this is global shutter sensor - very expensive solution, where Sony reigns supreme. Normally, rolling image sensors used in almost all cameras, read the image line by line. Which for very fast-moving objects causes stretching and warping. GS-CMOS sensor is reading image full...

    Healthcare

    It's not deducted (in the way like in the US). Simply employee is paying extra. The same is with taxes in EU. Employees do not pay their taxes and insurance directly - employers do it on their behalf. And it is an additional cost of employment for employers. Yes, in employment contract there...

    Healthcare

    In Europe, if an employee employed under an employment contract you don't paid directly insurance. Your employer does this (has an obligation) - in addition to health insurance, they usually pay your retirement and disability insurance in the event of an accident or death. For example, in...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    turret 5442 also have only 2 IRs... so they should be similar... pictures you sent me by DM shows that IR light is more uniform on 5449... Dahua has saved money here again. Should throw in 4 hybrid LEDs, 2 with near optics and 2 with far optics. Or do like HIK in the latest DeepInMind 2.0...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    5442-s3 is almost 3 years old product... it used previous generation of video processing, older image sensors & older SOC (processor). it received a lot of new functionality by firmware upgrades, but they can't change that it is older hardware. TIOC-PRO is a new product, which is show case for...

    IMOU camera with Dahua NVR

    don't think is even possible to revert to that old firmware for 4xxx-ei... Dahua blocked that possibility.. the best solution is to buy from second hand working used 4xxx-4ks2 or 5xxx-4ks2 NVR where owner / installer didn't upgraded firmware for a few years. Dahua sold millions of those models...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    PTZ425DB-AT vs PTZ425DB-AT-R - Low Noise?

    I can confirm that SD425DB-AT-R (stealth version of MiniPTZ) is most silent (audible) PTZ which I tested in my life. even more silent in comparison to bigger brothers from SD5 series, which have very low frequency (bass frequencies) sounds.. I have on my desk and I almost don't hear it.. Dahua...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Don't look like Dahua, more like HIK-Vision. Totally new LED diffuser - like in ColorVu 3.0 cams.. Andy please check how the zoom works - what is real range? Previous FullColor 5449-ZE with F1.0 was more like 2x optical zoom only (much shorter zoom comparing to 5442-ZE). Does it have bad /...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    the problem with Dahua is that they have platforms which are much more modern (have much more modern web UI) and have much more inteligent AI analytics. But they are not offered on cameras (because of limited power) but on dedicated servers with big AI acceleration cards, which can do a lot of...
