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?
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

Distinguishing between motion events and alerts
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what I'm looking for is the ability to distinguish between an "event" (which should also be marked as such on the timeline and/or show up in an "events" list) and an "alert" (which is marked as such and shows up in the "alerts" list). Kind of like what you can... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Thanks @smiticans! You're absolutely right that I shouldn't expect 5x improvement of picture quality if the price of the camera is 5x. But I hoped for 2x improvement because of the 2x increase of pixels at same pixel/sensor ratio. Maybe I've been judging the Axis camera a little too harshly... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Same, no option for 15 fps. I'm running the latest Axis OS (12.1.64). This is why I'm trying to compare moving objects. I know it's easy for cams to generate beautiful static pictures. I guess the night video of the car is not terrible, but I suppose I expected a sharper picture and more detail... -

It's not possible to select 15 FPS either when I create my own ONVIF media profile. See attached screenshot. -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Here's a video in IR mode. Looks like there's indeed a spider web that might be causing some issues as well. Nevertheless the image looks very compressed to me. At least the camera doens't look out of focus to me :) I did decrease the zoom level a little bit, so there's more time for the camera... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
I decided to do a factory default and start over. I have attached screenshots of all my Axis settings and the BI video settings. I have tried to stay as close to your settings as possible. I used the same zoom factor and used AF to get to a focus setting of 84. The only thing I wasn't able to do... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
I just tried your zoom level and AF settings, but the leaves still look a bit blurry to me. To be honest, it’s a bit hard to judge in IR mode. It’s past midnight here, so I’m going to check tomorrow if the lens is clean. It’s brand new, but maybe a spider has already been building a little web... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Yeah I've tried AF several times but during the day it goes anywhere between 75-85. Is a range like that normal? I'll try again at 1/60, but since the Dahua's work well with 1/120 it's still a bit disappointing that the Axis isn't doing well with 1/120 (considering the 1/1.2" sensor). Your... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Your videos look very crisp and sharp to me, mine look heavily compressed and blurry. I attached a day and night example. In the night example you can hardly make out any details. The guy wasn't even driving really that fast. In the day example you can see a lot of blurriness all over the... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Thanks. If I set quality to 70 in the video encoder profile, doesn't that lead to double compression since I also already set a compression of 30% at "Video -> Stream"? I'm wondering, because I'm frankly not really impressed yet with the video quality. -

Distinguishing between motion events and alerts
I have a few Dahua cameras and one Axis camera setup with Blue Iris. Right now all ONVIF events are a trigger event in Blue Iris which lead to an Alert within BI (Alerts are set to "when this camera is triggered"). I noticed that some NVRs are able to distinguish between motion events and alert... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Thanks, I'll try your recommended settings. What do you have the WDR tone mapping set to? Your capture of the Amazon driver looks very good, but the white light helps a lot of course :-) The camera is mounted at about 3.50 meters, not exactly sure. -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Well I'm used to the best practices for Dahua cameras as laid out by @wittaj. So for example, different settings for shutter time and gain during the day and night. During the day I can easily run a max shutter of 1/250 with a max gain of 30 but during the night it gets too dark with these... -

How to set up P1468-LE with Blue Iris
Quick update: the camera is now operational and mounted outdoors. It's working well, but I still need to play with the video settings to get the best video quality. @smiticans I have a few questions you can maybe help me with: 1. Is it correct that Axis doesn't have support for a day and night...
