Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

I recall they had the 5442 S2 and S3 cameras listed at the same time with same part #s for a few weeks/months

This is xsplit broadcaster.. live stream my local NVR feed and the GUI of the new ITS Radar DHI-ITC431-KW4F-G LPR camera GUI.
Having trouble with the new Chrome update as the GUI now does not like the websocket from 2 days ago.
FYI the 54IR-ZE was full zoom.

Hard to say so far, need nighttime testing, but I'm buying another 5442E-Z4E (S3) before they quit making them. Already have a backup T54IR-ZE-S3

And I will wait for 54IL-Z4E and 54PRO-Z4E tests / review on some final firmware.
54IR-Z4E is good, but not best... even 74IR-Z4E showed better performance.

ps. they will produce WizSense-S/X cams for one more year minimum. Those new cams are not direct replacements.

That’s good to hear.
Yes of course the 7 series is even better.

Like you I’m more interested now in seeing the -IL, and I suspect final FW will take a few months

Great footage @jmcu ... just to be clear, was the gain (ISO) "about" the same on all of them?

At a QUICK glance, the overall exposure level seems about the same on all of them ... but looks like some "boost" in the shadows especially for the IPC-54PRO-AS. I think (?) I saw some better dynamic range for the PRO models ... but that may have been because the color temperature seemed more natural to me. I think(!) the PRO's look sharper ... but hard to tell with different focal lengths ... and I think their focus points might be a little closer as I'm looking at foreground grass and the lines in the sidewalk. The S3's telephone pool looks a bit less fuzzy and car spokes (nice to have) look pretty decent.

So maybe I'm clueless, but didn't seem (?) like a clear winner ... I was hoping to see the new camera's clearly show markedly better low light performance.
Curious what others say as I'm sure I'm missing stuff ... plus what do you think?

I'm wondering if maybe either try in a darker area (although it's a good combination of lit/dark) and/or bump the shutter speed up ... so you are "pushing" the limits of the cameras.
I.e. push the exposure triangle so the image from the "laggard" falls apart even in the static scene ... so easier to see who "wins" ... and yes, no IR and no on-board illumination.

BTW, I really like how you provide the "quad" screen and then each individual cam. Plus I really appreciate how you walk through the scene ... so showing not just "static" IQ, but also dynamic IQ. White shirt is a good test ... but maybe some more color in the shorts/shoe - LOL maybe you have an colorful umbrella you can walk through with to exaggerate it. Ditto if you walk around with something that has some big letters on it (or your shirt) for sharpness testing! ;-)

Again, GREAT job ... lining everything up for similar FOV, match settings, etc. for these type of tests is a LOT of work.
