The biggest issue I have with this camera is that there is no benefit to this vs a dual sensor camera like the 'boobie cam'.
Look at each camera angle, those are awful angles with soo much space wasted. Better off buying a dual sensor camera where both cameras can articulate for a better viewing angle.

The Hikvison/Dahua version at least stitches the video together to make it worthwhile being two imaging sensors at fixed angles.

As always, thanks for taking the time to dissect these!

And wow that has to be some of the worse color static images we have seen recently from a Reolink. Usually their static image is good, but the motion is poor at night. That just looks horrible.

Hi Mark, are you referring to this? IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2
So one using BI could get a single stream with a combined video from both lenses?

That camera is two individual streams. That is logical because the lenses are not hard fixed into position.

I'm comparing to the new [Hikvision] DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL and [Dahua] PFW5849-A180-ASTE which is a fixed position dual lens camera like the Reolink Duo.

This is the Dahua version which stitches the video into one:
Bullet 180 degress camera is out now.

So which one of these dual cameras works best in BlueIris? Was looking at installing one infront. Was eyeing the hikvision ds-2cd2387g2p.

Do you think the new Reolink Duo 2 give the same issues?
