I’ve got contacts that could get me a IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO for only £100, how big of a difference will this be (8MP 1/1.8) compared to my other 3849 (8MP 1/2.7)? Does anyone have both of these sensors and can provide a night time view? Thank you
IPC-HDW3849H-AS-PV-PRO Good or nah?

it will be much better.. but not at level of 3449H-AS-PV-PRO which kick ass at night (2x less pixels at the same sensor size = 2x bigger pixels = 4x more light capture)...

There will be a big difference to your current camera. I can go from 25/70 1/2.8 Sensor to 4-5/50 at night with the 4mp version Tioc Pro. You could also just resell the cameras for the same or a little more.
I have ordered two of the cameras to test. I'll post a few sample photos as soon as they arrive. I also have the 4mp version
Also bought the 1.8 8MP to test against my 8MP 2.7, from comparisons online for similar sensors there seems to be a big difference.
show the night pictures / video footage from those new 8mpx 1/1.8"...
especially for human or car movement..

The noise inherent in the 4MP version would lead me to believe it would be even worse in the 8MP model.
Would you also mind testing the SMART ILLUMINATOR and see if it will work with SMD and Video Detection Zones? Apparently dahua’s only webinar shows that it will work that way, which doesn’t seem to be happening currently…Arrived today.

So I have tested Smart Illumination. I found out that SMD+MD = Lights turn on, SMD+MD off = Stays in IR Mode, SMD+MD off + IVS = Lights turn on. New Firmware 10R

Using FW V3.140.0000000.7.R, Build Date: 2024-10-18 - Neither SMD OR IVS is required to activate the Smart Illumination white lights
Using this setting

For me, the camera remains in IR mode. Same setting tested.

Or they have throttled options like we have seen on other 8MP on less than ideal sensors...

I'm not gonna update my FW! I like the Smart Illum working independent of SMD 
Don't ya wanna break what isn't broken to have the latest and greatest FW? You'd be in the cool crowdI'm not gonna update my FW! I like the Smart Illum working independent of SMD
