Thanks for the kind words @wittaj much appreciated. Yes, the Full Color 4K-X's do like to take over even in manual mode which is why the adjustments I shows in Gamma + Exp. Comp. are critical in overriding that. Again will depend on lighting on FOV etc but it does make a difference. Then as I mention, once you've removed Gain (from the camera trying to control
), noise and color shift using the tips, definitely adjust picture settings (contrast, sat etc) to end up with a clean and defined imaged. Should lead to better overall end caps every time. It also hopefully shows how you can take a seemingly washed out image from a low light deployment using only on-board lights (or string lights ) and make it more usable. Dialing in is an art in each deployment but get it right and you then get to reap the benefits of usable video. Never go AUTO (know you know and appreciate this sentiment) Thanks again for the kind commentsFunny you mention that @CCTVCam, I asked the same thing of Dahua too
Hoping there is an update soon but know that their main focus has been on fixed lens versions in turret form that I expect to see soon.
Will put this up against the 2.8 bullet cam so all can see how the turret performs. Nice to see this coming to Turret form too@CCTVCam Yes, i told them when i visited them for product plan, they will review it.
The turret 2.8mm is on the way to @Wildcat_1 , will be world 1st again.
will have 2.8mm and 3.6mm lens, but 6mm will wait later, the camera housing will be a little different than the normal turret 5442. We'd like to invite @Wildcat_1 to make some checking on the 1st sample in the world.
Sample is on the way. 
Ready to test when it arrives. Will be good to see how this one performs.will have 2.8mm and 3.6mm lens, but 6mm will wait later, the camera housing will be a little different than the normal turret 5442. We'd like to invite @Wildcat_1 to make some checking on the 1st sample in the world.

Wow, first I have heard of an HOA having a say with security CAMs. I will definitely vote that down if they try that where I live. Wonder what the deal is? Aesthetics?
The board instituted changes to the covenants. They now have security camera deed restriction rules. Unfortunately, this subdivision covenants allows the board to make changes without homeowner input or even notification. Now it requires that you fill out a form, give a description and sketch of the placement. Plus $35 fee. There are certain rules, like the cam cannot protrude past the edge of the soffit. All cams must be on the house. So my LPR box in the garden would not be allowed.
