Gentlemen, gentlemen... let us settle this once and for all. Help fund the purchase of these cameras in question and I will provide all the real world testing you desire. :semi-twins:
Two new interesting cams from dahua
- Thread starter fenderman
- Start date
Another interesting varifocal cam: IPC-HFW8630E-Z
- 6MP (3072 x 2048)
- 1/1.8”
- Exmor R
- DWDR
sounds like Sony Starvis IMX178.
IMX178 doesn't have multiple exposure wdr (true wdr), only DWDR. But with 14 bit ADC, the DWDR could be nice, too.

Could be imx178, but the same type of camera has been listed in Hikvision for a while, they are very costly at around $1k according to B&H

sweet, what was the damage?
I'm thinking of getting one for the back yard, very poor lighting conditions.

What usage would you recommend these for? Is 2MP VF better than the 6mm fixed lens turrets for a cam near the front door?
Or are you guys excited about this mainly for the low light capabilities?
In other words, would this camera ([FONT="]IPC-HDW5431R-Z)[/FONT]:

I would, and perhaps will gladly pay ~$300 for a 6MP IMX178 Dahua.. and that extra zoom is just about perfect.. they are very good UHD low light performers, probably some of the best.. same sensor as the longse low light destroyer, but with a varifocal lens, from a reliable vendor whom knows how to make a camera that will last.
