Of course you do LOL.I see some serious barrel distortion in those pictures on this so called fantastic New dual lens.
Thanks Andy and I know every lens has some distortion but this to me is obvious and maybe because of 2 lens's being used. I do appreciate your pictures and you are always first to post new camera's.Wide lens always has some distortion like fisheye, this one has 2 lens on one cam, from my experience it’s not bad or your called serious. I know you always have high standard for cams we posted, appreciate your time for helping us , thank you ! @ljw2k
I just put on the window to take default pics.
You could be right but I think it is outside on the terrace.For all we know the distortion could be from the window and angle of the camera.
Yeap, next week we will do the review for this cam, also with a 2.8mm 4K Color4K-X, cams will fly to US tomorrowWhat you see from a single shot maybe hold in hand ...
for me this could be any camera .. if we have a real test with footage (not single screens) there can be a discussion about the camera.. but from these single shots? lol
its nice to see something ... but maybe just wait for real test
where is my test sample for hot and humid Florida? lol
Not a huge amount of difference in those night pics. The extra sharpness is definately from the 4mp. What you can see is a little more saturation and I guess that is what this camera is doing, using the IR data for contrast information as low light in colour is often low contrast when the lighting is very low and so probably lacking this information. One thing that stands out with the above, is Andy's street has quite high light levels to start with at night and thus not bad contrast information. I'm guessing there may be a more marked response where the light is very low and a tradional colour cctv cameras has quite a flat low cobtrast / colour picture at night.Test on the 3rd floor 10m/38ft high.

IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, 2MP Starlight. Camera default come with IR light on, so have to press it to color mode. Will get a 4MP and 4K color4k-X to test here later, haven't take the cams back home.

It shouldn't if the images are taken at the same speeds a normal. What may happen is the camera gets hot as I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of processing so question what features will be in the cameras ie will they be cut down on features to free up processing space for the images and will they be pwoer hungary.For a second I thought this was a full color version of the booby cam LOL.
I cannot wait to see how this works!
I am sure the algorithm and technology can make a still image look great without ambient light, but I would have to think motion will suffer because of it?
As above, I suspect the IR is being used for contrast information. I'm also not sure they simply project the 2 images together. I rather suspect, rightly or wrongly the ir image isn't added to the colour image but rather it mapped for contrast and then that information is used in the colour image for colour intensity data instead of what the colour sensor records. However, this is guesswork on my behalf and I have no detailed knowledge of how ditigal cameras work.Dual sensor does sound like a very promising design. I wonder what kind of weird image artifacts it might have. Some materials such as clothing may appear darker or brighter in infrared light than a human would normally perceive it. It will be interesting to see how that affects the final image. Also the lens alignment could be an issue. Unless they use some AI to combine the images, I think the color and infrared images will not line up perfectly at closer distances.
