I think the 5442 z4e s3 is hard to beat with infrared picture, if someone need white light/color it would be an alternative
both 5x59-Z4E-IL and 5x59-Z4E-PRO have the same 4 diodes (2 wide/2 narrow) with 120m IR range as 5442-Z4E...
plus there is second option - 80m white range (where 5442-Z4E is lacking) with ability to turn on white based on motion or IVS..
Hybrid lighting (IR + white) doesn't degrade in any way compared to previous only IR models. If someone doesn't want white light, they can use IR only, as they did on older cameras.
Yes, I know Andy once complained here that the TIOC-PRO has weaker IR than the 5442 – but it's a lower-end model (3449 vs. 5442). And Andy compared the TIOC-PRO turret to the 5442 bullet – which is very unfair.
The 5442 turret has terrible IR (very uneven, overexposed center, dark outer areas), and the TIOC-PRO, despite having slightly weaker IR, kills the 5442 in terms of lighting uniformity and usability.
ps. for now we don't know anything about real review pic/video footage from both 54PRO and 54DUAL..
As I understand after some DMs with Andy firmware is not finalized, AI-ISP video processing is NOT enabled yet on those cams.
Probably similar to 34PRO (TIOC-PRO), we will need to wait extra 2 months to receive final AI-ISP enabled firmware (they require time to learn AI models for each camera model / SOC / sensor etc).
