Turret no big difference on functions, just different shape.Looking forward to @Wildcat_1 's review, thanks Andy

Yes as Andy said, I’m working with Dahua on the FW improvements needed per my video feedback. Will post updates soon and where work may still be needed.

Just letting everyone know, I'm still testing this one (bullet cam first) and recently tried 2 new FW updates on the unit featured in this review. There is still work that's needed on the alignment so I've captured further data and fed this back to Dahua. I've also again made recommendations to allow for manual alignment of the lenses in the GUI. I'm expecting the next FW in November so will keep you posted
Well, mine just arrived, the turrent version.
It feels like I've missed something somewhere, but at the moment, at night the resolution looks like the equivalent of 1080p... or slightly worse.
Both at 2688x1520
IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-3.6mm (defaults)
IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE-NI (my existing long term settings)
Then here, trying to align the settings between the two. Shutter 1/25, BLC, Natural, 2688x1520.
IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-3.6mm
IPC-HDBW5442R-ASE-NI
Then, here from the "Main stream" at 2688x1520, and then "Sub stream 2" at 1920x1080, from the same camera ... they look too similar ...
IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-3.6mm 2688x1520
IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-3.6mm 1920x1080
Hope this is either firmware or my stupidity. Looking at the video feeds without noise reduction, the pixels and noise looks larger than my existing camera ... definitely more like 1080p pixels.

@Wildcat_1 Any update on a night comparison with the 5449 (Dual colour) and 5442 in IR mode. The IR quality of the dual cam seems less detailed than I was expecting, based on your previous videos of IR cameras in that location. I would love the IR quality of the 5442 with the additional color overlay, but if I am trading off IR quality then I am not sure the 5449 is better (for me).
Funny you bring that up, I’m actually planning on closing out with that video in the next day or two along with a comparison of turret cams vs bullet cam on Dual Lens and will include the 5442 overlay as I usually do but in IR this time. To set expectations you absolutely will see a difference when comparing traditional IR vs fusion tech due to the continual lean towards looking for color and overlay provided by the 1/2.8” etc. Stay tuned !

I picked up the 5449 Dual Color and was hoping to install this weekend... question though... if I install above my garage door I was thinking of putting it below the flood light in the picture. The flood light is on a sensor and stays on all night. Would this cause problems with the cam?

Known around here
you should edit that screenshot
Well, 2 things I would point out, 1) putting it under the floodlight (assuming directly underneath) is really too high, aim for 7-7.5’ max. 2) if the floodlight is truly sensor driven (I.e motion activated) then you do run the risk of causing ‘bloom’ to the cam as its potentially washed out briefly when the floodlight comes on and cam has to adjust. Therefore constant light so you can dial in the cam for the FOV would be more ideal so you don’t risk the bloom effect of the motion flood that could impact your ability to capture usable images.

No what I meant is the light is on a dusk to dawn sensor so when it comes on it stays on all night long....I saw a neighbors house across the street and he has a bullet cam located above his flood light but mine doesnt have that much room between the eave and the floodlight fixture so I figured I would install directly below it but didnt know if having the lights above the camera would cause issues
