    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    it looks like now is possible to do 4 cams at 4MP (2K) (like 5442 or 3449) or 2 4K cams at once on one AI Port (199 USD or 222 EURO)... EDITED: But I had read one more time the changelog and found that is about UI cameras not ONVIF ones :( So we need to wait for another firmware update with...

    Axis Q6315-LE PTZ and D2110-VE Radar Unit Sample Videos

    this is my one of the problems with Axis... they have tons of models on previous tech (even 2 generations back of SOC) and they very slowly replace them to something never... they release new ARTPEC SOCs generations every 3 years (+/- 1 year).. having cams on 6 years old SOC (2 generations...

    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)...

    WizColor vs ColorVu Gen3

    for who this system is done (multiple locations company? or City monitoring?) does this system exists (500 cams)? if yes what is actual VMS / NVR solution for it? if not (it's theoretical / budgeting question) why you simply don't ask PRO CCTV companies from Your country with history of doing...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    Where? In 2024 the only "major" release were TIOC-PRO / WizColor line.. there were a few low volume speciality new cams (like triple-sight one or some PTZ+panorama ones) and tons of cheap customer cams with limited / very cut Dahua firmware taken from divorce with ImouLife. That's all.. Nothing...

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    Starvis 2 - none from Dahua/HIK... 5849 is using old 1/1.2" Sony starvis 1 sensor - but this sensor wasn't created for cctv (it didn't see IR, so there are only white led models with that old sensor on market)... Other companies like Axis stopped puts sensor manufacturer information to spec...

    The Real Truth of SMD as I See It

    SMD is good if you need to separate all human/car traffic (SMD) and some specific actions/triggers (IVS) on cheaper / lower cams.. but on modern cams (5442-S3, 7442-X) SMD was replaced by AcuPick 2.0 / mini Video Meta Data for that.. With AcuPick 2.0 you can search not only by human/car/animal...

    Help me understand the difference between Face Detection and Face Recognition

    As I wrote many times - you must select beetwen: Acupick turn on with only mini IVS and only mini VMD (no face/plate snapshots, many limitations) or AcuPick turn off for full VMD with all features (as presented on my post) and no IVS (or IVS done on NVR)...
