As long as you use the substreams option it should be fine. Obviously you need to have a capable computer and the camera has to be able to be seen in BI.

I would suggest you ask him to allow you to test it first.

a 16mp camera would have the same affect as 2 8mp cameras.

I am always on the lookout for high megapixel cameras , just never know if they are worth to i try them.

Just remember the MP/sensor ratio is more important than just MP.

Ok thanks , what would be a good camera to look at verbally 8 megapixels or above?

The 4K/X is considered by many, including myself, to be the best 8MP camera on the market. It needs so very little light to be incredible.

Hows does thise one compare to the Hik colorvu 8mp 1/1.2? F1. I have alot of them, but they were my first purchase so no comparison, only going on the 8mp 1/1,2" sensor size + colorvu in turret form = match found

They do have pretty good night shots if they get some light, but the only downfall i can see is no manual gain control like dahua's can.... Sometimes you just want the image to be pretty dark to do some HLC yourself instead of letting the camera do frame combining for HLC

There have been more people coming here complaining about the quality of the colorvu than the 4K/X.

Maybe the 4K/X is better or maybe the people that bought the colorvu was expecting it to defy physics and actually be useful in pitch black.

is the Dahua 4k/x also in turret form? And what would be the dahua model number, as its business expense for me, its easier to just buy from a local Dahua dealer and get a local invoice with taxes etc.

The 4K/X unfortunately is only available in bullet form.

Aah, thats a bummer I realy like the hybrid idea of the turrent, smaller and less easy to "vandals" as a bullet (just smack it with a stick and it will move away) but also no sun glare on the protective shell outdoors. The salesperson here in my country told that Hik was better quality nowadays, but now i start reading alot and that dahua model realy seems to be better then the hik 8mp 1/1.2" colorvu
