Anyone had a chance to try this camera yet? I think they are demoing it at ISC next week.

You can't even buy it, can you? I can't even find it for sale.

 

I don't think it has been released yet. Next week is ISC West and this camera is supposed to be featured there so hopefully there will be a release date coming very soon.

 

According to this road map, it is supposed to be out already, but I'm guessing this isn't 100% accurate:

This Hikvision 4K dome (DS-2CD4585F-I) looks even better. I hope someone does a review of it soon:

Everyone is getting there hopes up for 4K and outstanding image quality. In my experience 4K looks great in evenly lit areas but soon as you have shadows or low light the image just doesn't cut it. 4K cameras need better WDR and low light before they get mainstream.

Yeah, without bigger sensors, the low light problem will just get worse with higher resolution. Binning will help with low light, but then you lose the benefits of 4K.

 

I'd assume these will need a higher bit rate and more powerful CPU to maintain decent compression. 4K won't be much improvement if it's over-compressed.

How will these perform in the daytime with an area that has a very small amount of shadows?

Yeah, how did you do that?

 

Do you have to be a distributor to get them already or are they out on the streets already?

 

Any word on pricing?

Patience! Just got back from a Roadshow, I will post some videos from this cam, soon

Good performance in difficult lighting conditions, above average low light performance.

It's just like 6 Mpixel cams from Hik, but with a little better ress

Yeah, any pricing on these? They couldn't give any pricing at the ISC show and they said it wasn't out "yet".

I hope they are in a good price range.

 

That's what I'm hoping to. I want to play with these or atleast look at some samples here. I saw it at the show but it was hard to test it in dark conditions.
