    EU follies

    Yes, I know the US history. And the fact that very specific president election system in the US is created by history. But ignoring 3 milion more votes is not something we can call democracy. Or telling that some states are worse or better (because they have more dems or reps) and we should...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    on WizMind-S with proper zoom it can works for 100m+ distances at day... Normally in past on all AI cams were used 'diluted' AI models.. dilution allows to shrink proper big AI model to small size and small AI power requirements (0.25 - 1 TOPS) at a big cost of accuracy. Dilutions allowed to...

    EU follies

    He forgot one most important reason - in Polish (and 99% other countries) president election - the winner is the person who simply gets 50% + 1 votes in all country... if not in the first round, then in the second, in which only the 2 candidates with the most votes advance. No shady indirect...

    Aaaa... ok both Andy and people from Dahua Poland told me that first batches with fixed lens of the new WizColor 5xx9-PRO cams should be available in next 1-2 weeks... the sensor used on those cams will be the same as on TIOC-PRO and HIK ColorVu cams (4/6/8 Mpx SmartSens).. they are different...

    OK if you check the DORI and know things like this - then ok.. you don't need any more help here ;) I don't remember on which threads were IR pictures like this. ps. there is one more thing - uniformity of IR. 5442 bullets are for now best in this - they have 2 near / wide IRs and 2 far /...

    Camera recommendations for Europe

    by looking by numbers (32mm vs 2.8mm) optical zoom level should be much bigger.. but as I wrote it's about 6x max 6.5x... no more... there will be huge difference in IR performance.. there were many posts in past on this forum, when some one showed old (1/2.8") and new (1/1.8") IR pics -...

    32mm option (Z4 / Z4M) is only available on WizMind-S 5xx2-S3 and WizMind-X 7xx2-X (plus any proper PTZ).. Please remember that 32mm on 5442-S3 in more like 6x optical zoom (so 1/6 of hight and 1/6 of width 2.8mm image).. Here is difference between 2.8mm and 32mm cams.. For most of those...

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Base TIOC cams are always using 1/2.8" sensor... And Dahua is refreshing this line every one/two years (now -S5 version).. Only TIOC-PRO with -PRO suffix have 1/1.8" sensor.. there are not newer/older models here.. simply two different lines.. one based on another (PRO version of another)..

    Color4M not Color4K Andy did a few mistakes doing own name schemes - this is one... Under Color naming scheme there are now 3 different generations of cams.. Color4K is Full Color 5849, Color4M is TIOC PRO 3449-PRO.. No... only 1/1.8" sensors and worse night performance that 4Mpx models...

    No, 1 gen Sony Starvis 1/1.2" sensor used in those cam don't see IR.. That cam have many problems (limited Depth of View - bokeh effect - very high digital sharpening which increases a lot of noise - compression artifacts). This is also very old construction (video processing is 2 gen back...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    for now this feature is in new cams from 5xxx line up.. They have bigger CPU/SOC processor and can do more AI processing.. somewhere in 2-3 years it will be probably also on new 3xxx cams... typical product & features fragmentation..

    I never paid for shipping ordering from Andy to Poland or Portugal... As I told - Andy can send cams tax free - only problems this method require 2-3 weeks and tracking is only for last part in Europe (they looks like shipment from EU)..

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Andy, if you will test - big question how does compare new WizColor 5xx9-PRO with WizColor TIOC-PRO 3xx9-PRO??? And for both varifocal - what is real zoom range? I have Full Color 5449-ZE (F1.0 varifocal optics) from EU distribution and optical zoom range is limited in comparison to 5442-ZE -...

    For now animal support is only on WizMind-S (5xx2-S3) & WizMind-X (7xx2-X) cams... No other lines supports this... Even new triple-sight cam (IPC-MFW5241T2-E3-ASE) based on the same platform/firmware as WizMind-S don't support animals as target.. In theory animal support is part of AcuPick 2.0...

    NVR-16CH-2XI specs quite impressive

    You forgot that ANPR is only one of the AI functions, which 608-XI can add to cams... Full Video Meta Data (with humans, faces, vehicles & plates) are very good function... Camera can do IVS, NVR can add Video Meta Data.. Also Face Detect / Recognition is another interesting combination done on...
