I am learning more about this because I intend to trigger outside lights for humans instead of wildlife and dogs from IR-capable cameras.
I believe SMD4.0 is the latest and greatest on-camera AI. I can also use limited channels on my NVR5208 EI in a mode listed as "SMD Plus" in the specs.
1. This leads me to the first question: How does on-camera SMD4.0 compare to on-NVR SMD Plus?
Another observation is that the latest round of SMD 4.0 cameras have a less-than-ideal Mp : sensor size ratio.(Like Tioc)
2. So, practically, can any users of both versions opine how much better is SMD 4.0 over SMD 3.0?
3. Finally, I know that the 5442 (IR) fixed lens is a go-to camera, but it seems to have a recent 5442 iteration. Is that SMD4.0, and is it better than its predecessor in all ways?
