MR2 0 Posted December 11, 2015 Maybe Dahua will use same sensors? I really hope so... I'm really hoping that one of the big two get it right eventually... the Dahua gets the ability to use the full sensor right (IE a 4:3 12mp setting), but then it has the IR sensors under the dome which will have that reflection issue Dahua also told me that to get H265 encoding will require new hardware, so that's a bummer too. if I have the choice between 8mp + H265 and 12mp + H264 it'll be a close call, probably come down to Lens if they are a similar Sensor. I'm honestly a little surprised we don't have more people testing this stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korgoth Of Barbaria 0 Posted December 11, 2015 Why did you test under different light and time? Because it's like 6 meters high and there is only one mounting and one ethernet cable. Difference in time is like an hour or so. Only difference is the lighting on this sign. Damn, I hate it when I try to make honest comparison test, standing on -10oC freezing my ass off and everyone is suspecting some kind of manipulation or marketing action Here is live view of DS-2CD4065F-AP camera, almost same sensor (1/1.8"), you can check how it works at night. http://hotel-bania.webcamera.pl/ Here is snapshot from this camera made around midnight, cloudy sky, no moon: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxdl8b3z4sp4y2l/4065.png?dl=0 EDIT: Here is 4K video, not night, but dusk: TNRLnC7mVEw This model that I have don't support H.265, but there is H.264+. I'm still waiting for 4K with H.265 and 12MPixel box. Fortunately Hikvision NVRs support H.265 recording AND 4K resolution display, I mean new I series, like DS-7608NI-I2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MR2 0 Posted December 12, 2015 Damn, I hate it when I try to make honest comparison test, standing on -10oC freezing my ass off and everyone is suspecting some kind of manipulation or marketing action well, I appreciate the effort, both to deal with the people who make "no good deed goes unpunished" happen, and to reply to this thread I'm actually a bit surprised there is so few enthusiasts playing around with this 8+mp stuff so (almost) anything from anyone is most welcome we have some 2CD-3332/2332's around so I'll see if I can throw up a direct comparo when mine turns up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MR2 0 Posted December 14, 2015 FYI the unit arrived at my normal site yesterday (it got here in 3 days... nice!) I'm overnighting it to the site I'm presently on to play with should have some sort of demo's or screen dumps tomorrow arvo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MR2 0 Posted December 16, 2015 ok these things are crazy... there is a HUGE improvement, you want to download the two BMP's I've uploaded, then zoom in on an area to get an idea. 3mp http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t370/mgoodwinmr2/3mp_zpsc5a1t6ug.png 12mp http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t370/mgoodwinmr2/12mp_zps8oaksylr.png going to see what the Night vision is, and then I'll see what I can do about a youtube demo... going to be moving this thing around between a few sites demoing, so I'll get some views. when I get some time I'll post up some thoughts too.

MR2 0 Posted December 28, 2015 Curious what lens you went with for this camera. it comes with a good Varifocal, the FOV and focus can be adjusted in the camera's web interface, so no need to spend time getting everything right while your up a ladder etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
