Not yet, but here is one to the brother Z4E (simply more optical zoom than the ZE). You can expect the improvements to be comparable.
Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E
As many of us are aware, Dahua decided to keep the same model numbers of some of their most popular models like the 5442-Z12E and the 5442 series cameras, but they have been updated with a newer GUI and specs that on paper show better than the previous version as was discussed in this thread...

newer cams have less.
With any new update/model it will filter any animals better than before.
As pointed out in post #21 above, they have improved the model with a new chipset and GUI that basically makes it a different camera. The optics are greatly improved.

have you already tested the new acupick features ?
not sure what to expect from this feature
Unfortunately one needs an NVR with that capability to use it. The promo video looks pretty cool for it though.
In theory you should be able to pull up a person or a vehicle and it will pull up snapshots of every time that person or vehicle was spotted on the camera.
i can imagine that it will work somehow in color mode. But in B/W its even hard for a human to distinguish between two persons with similiar body/clothes.
@EMPIRETECANDY - can you also recommend the best dome camera varifocal for no/dim light situations please? thanks!

Turret would have my preference, but I'm leaning to a dome for anti-vandalism and because it will be mounted on a ceiling (2,5m) near the front door.
