Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

[EMPIRETECANDY]

We love to see the world's first and thankful you have such a relationship with Dahua that they offer that to you!

145% Tariffs will be a crazy thing on business in US, maybe make Canada and Europe first this time

Any successors to the IPC-Color4K-T180 and IPC-Color4K-T in this new batch?

Those going to sell, and the new cams support dual illumination, but all with 1/1.8cmos, 4KT still use the 1/1.2cmos.

I would love to see a dual sensor/lens/180 version of the IPC-T54IR-AS-S3/IPC-Color4M-T.
The current 180 models require visible LED or enough natural light to work; I don't like visible LED's and don't have enough light.

(Funnily enough; my T54IR camera's switch to B/W much sooner at the end of the day compared to my old 5231R-ZE, both with similar settings and placed on the same location)

Watch the video in 4K!!

https://store.insta360.com/product/x5

Today Insta360 released next generation of 360 camera called Insta360 X5..

For people not familiar with 360 cams, those have 2 sensors & fisheye lenses mounted on both sides of camera.
Each sensors / lenses records full 180 degree (vertical & horizontal) image - so camera with 2 sensors/lenses records full 360 degree around (in vertical & horizontal)...

Full 360 degrees sphere around cam...

Those 360 degree footage can bed reframed in Insta360 mobile / desktop app - you can zoom in into any direction. Or do many cool effects (video above)..
They are very popular as a sport camera, offering much more unique shots and features than "single flat lens cams" like Go Pro...

Those cams mostly are used on special "invisible" sticks, which can be even 3-4 meter long.
They aren't visible in video footage - so video looks like from drone which is around a person which holding the camera without showing the stick.

New models replaced old 8K 1/2" inch sensor with some new 8K 1/1.28" sensors. And they added two more (each for each sensor, three total) AI chips dedicated only for AI video processing workflow.
And new night mode called PureVideo, which is showed many times on YouTube demo above..

If the footage is real (from this sport camera and not some professional one), I must say progres done by increasing sensor size and use more AI chips dedicated only for video workflow is horrendous.

Watch full screen in 4K!
Very long 1 and half hour video footage / demo...

Worth jumping every 10 min in this footage - different scenarios (black road, some black forest, many city locations with bright lamps)..
Everything in big movement... very good night performance...

it shows that high-resolution (48Mpx) modern Sony sensors using Quad Bayer Coding (Quad Bayer Coding | Technology | Sony Semiconductor Solutions Group) have better night performance that normal 4 and 8Mpx sensors with bigger pixels in classic bayer layout.. plus what modern AI video processing can do at night conditions...

ps. please remember this is 360 cam - so 2 fisheye 180 lenses/sensors with all distortions and low resolution after un-warp problems specific to fish eye cams..
ps2. camera is moving - so there is video stabilization done by camera and software.. at night conditions...

I wonder what surprises the DJI Mavic 4 Pro will bring us

Very impressive @steve1225 ... and yes, especially the video stabilization done under challenging conditions.

I wonder what surprises the DJI Mavic 4 Pro will bring us

You should look at Insta360 Ace Pro 2 (main GoPro competition) night videos...
the same sensor 48Mpx 1/1.3" sensor + double AI chip as 360 cam, but this is normal sport cam with normal lenses (no fisheye distortion & problems) which records real 4K video frame (no de-warping)...

the same sensor 48Mpx 1/1.3" sensor will be used by DJI in Med telecamera..
Wide camera of course will use 4/3" next gen 100Mpx sensor - but difference here in pixel size are small. More Hasselblad optics & color tech used in drone..

PS. Sport cams & drones video technology went crazy good in last year - this is level of profesional big video cams (DSLR like) with big pro lenses from 10 years ago...

For people not familiar with the Quad Bayer sensors...

those sensors have different setup for Red / Blue / Gren pixels.. which allows use them as 8K (32Mpx or 48Mpx depending of video ratio) sensor at day.. and 4K (8Mpx or 12Mpx) sensor at night...

In night mode - sensors use 4 pixels in the same color next to each other as ONE big pixel (twice bigger in night 4K mode). This gives much more light sensibility at night and much less noise.
And in day mode You can use very hight 8K resolution if needed.

Comparison of normal old Bayer and new Quad Bayer sensors (Quad one have 4 pixels in the same color next to each other):


How video processing / pipeline different in day (8K) and night (4K) modes:



Those sensors are very popular now in latest mobiles phones, sport cameras and drones...

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

I hope all this extra light does not bring weird artifacting and comes at the expense of image quality; you can tell what is AI and what isn't AI
