Dahua T54IR-ZE-S3 - wow, what a contrast difference
Have you tried forcing the image settings to be the SAME on both camera's ... and if so, is there still a noticeable difference? If so, that implies something different in the hardware. Otherwise, it sounds like the the algorithms are on the "fence" with the scene ... with the two cameras... -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Ditto what @CCTVCam said - bummer if not noticeable gain in low light performance. And thanks @EMPIRETECANDY for sharing info as you find out. BTW, when you get the specs, might be helpful to know what the "mounting compatibility" is - i.e. if we have 5442's, will these be a drop-in replacement? -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
As always, great info @steve1225 ... and cool that @EMPIRETECANDY will have them soon .... as I'm hoping to replace some cameras and get some improved low-light capability over the 5442-S3's. BTW, do ALL of the new Dahua camera's come with animal detection? That ends up being pretty nifty/useful. -

Yea, so frustrating that we haven't seen this technology go into "our" camera's ... -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Very impressive @steve1225 ... and yes, especially the video stabilization done under challenging conditions. -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Ditto and LOL that in order to get a "better" sensor, you buy a dashcam and cannibalize the sensor. -

GREAT reporting @steve1225 - sounds like still TBD on the vari-focals, especially WRT sensor technology, sensor size, and lens ... which has some(!) impact on image quality. -

I appreciate the education @steve1225 and roger all that ... but it seems puzzling that since there are Chinese dashcam manufacturers (and DJI!) getting "high-tech sensors", why haven't any of those vendors expanded into the camera business as it seems like a would not be technically difficult... -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Great info as always @steve1225 and roger that they are different markets/business approaches. What puzzles me is why HIK/Dahua don't at least offer a "premium" line that has the better sensors, SOC, etc. As you point out, Chinese dashcam vendors are using the Sony Starvis 2 sensors. What is... -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Interesting chart @steve1225 - we'll find out soon enough what "Large pixel size, Large aperture" means in a vari-focal. I.e. the current fixed focals are F/1.0 with 1/1.8" sensors. So will they try to put that fast of lens in the varifocals (hopefully not closing down much in the tele end)... -

Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Ditto what others said that the video doesn't really say/answer much besides it's a WHODUNIT ... or I guess WHATISIT?!? ;-) Regardless, thank you @steve1225 for flagging this since ideally after April 16th, there will be more info and I look forward to reading your usual excellent... -

Where are the 2025 Models?
Thanks again @smiticans for the great info. BTW, since you seem to have great contacts at AXIS, a simple question on the 8MP 1/1.2" sensor versus 4MP 1/1.8" sensor is just ask 'em what the pixel size is - I'm wondering if it's the same, which (along with the sensor technology) defines the light... -

Where are the 2025 Models?
I should have been more clear @smiticans - "make me an offer" if you were going to retire your Q3538-LVE ... great you have a "trickle-down" use for it. BTW, looking at the Q3536 data sheet, it says it is 4MP 1/1.8" sensor ... whereas the Q3538 is a 8MP 1/1.2" sensor. I've seen these "types" of... -

Where are the 2025 Models?
Fantastic info @smiticans - thanks for posting for all to see. Yea, I was guessing that AXIS probably has more advanced image processing in wide dynamic range images. Low-light is my main interest since I run 7/24 full color - no IR. BTW, since you are replacing your Q3538-LVE dome, if you want...
