IPC-Color4K-T180 or the HIK ver?

Both HIK & Dahua used the same SOC for those cam, which wasn't designed to handle that wide resolutions in video compressor...

Dahua decided to go mobile/monitor friendly squeezed 20.5:9 ratio and generate 4096x1800 (4k wide)...
This allowed Dahua to do 25FPS without WDR and 20FPS with WDR.

HIK decided to go into display very unfriendly non-squeezed 32:9 ratio and generate 5120 x 1440.. (very non standard 5.1k wide)..
This allowed HIK to do only 20FPS without WDR and 15FPS with WDR...

In both cases SOC is overused to do what it wasn't designed to...
Next generations of both cams on better SOCs shouldn't have those limitations..

ps. you can always display Dahua stream in 32:9 ratio (un-squeeze)..
NVR/SmartPSS have options for that...

I'm in the opposite situation of using SecuritySpy and have full flexibility in size/shape of my display layouts. Having enough SCO oomph plus giving users the option of aspect ratio will remain a future dream.

Sorry, what is SOC again? Thinking of getting one of these for office environment. Understand they might not be great close up? As in, someone siting within a meter of camera might not look so good?

SOC = System On the Chip...
today electronics have CPU / GPU (graphics card) / ISP (image signal processor) / NPU (AI processor) all on one chip called SOC...

It looks like the EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T180 has resolved the aspect ratio issue based on your experience. With firmware version 3.120.0.36.R, you're confirming smooth performance. Thanks for sharing this helpful update during your camera research

Nope, my eyes are just really bad. It looked fine until a side by side comparison.

Its not a huge deal to me for my use case. It can always be unstreched in the extremely rare case I actually need footage. I'm pretty sure my NVR can correct for it as well; just gotta figure out the settings.

In NVR video settings You can configure own split...
You start from split9 or split 16 and join two windows to create 32:9 window.
You can latter select this split as live view..
