shdes 0 Posted May 20, 2015 Hi, How does the Dahua 4K Ultra HD ip camera perform in terms of contrast and image quality in normal and low light? And how much can it be acquired and where (the bullet model IPC-HFW4800E)? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MR2 0 Posted May 24, 2015 I think it's crap, IPVM seemed to like it, it seems to Smash the Axis which is classic. Dahua $500 Axis $1k Bosch $1600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dahua $500 Axis $1k Bosch $1600 I noticed the dahua 4K is only 7fps.. how bad (or still good) is 7fps? Would you rather have 25fps 3mp? Is there anyone a PRO member of the following who can share at least a summary of how the dahua 4k perform in say low light? http://ipvm.com/report/dahua-4k-test To find out, we tested Dahua's HFW4800E against 4K cameras from Axis (P1428-E) and Bosch (Dinion 8000) in full light, low light, and WDR scenes to see how they compare.

Though the low light and challenging lighting is no better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Sample image from Axis 4K camera. No where close to Avigilon's 4K Edited May 25, 2015 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MR2 0 Posted May 25, 2015 yeahhh I don't disagree the 4k is not worth the price point though, I don't really Like Dahua... Cammon Hik Hik'll do one, but it'll be a crap small sensor and junk, maybe in a few more years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted May 25, 2015 Avigilon dropped the price of the 4K camera so we have been selling alot of them recently. 4K, Lowlight and Analytics Hik has a bunch of 4K's out now though I haven't tested one yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MR2 0 Posted May 27, 2015 well, the 4k which would run fast with a few well aimed bright sensor lights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shdes 0 Posted May 28, 2015 well, the 4k which would run fast with a few well aimed bright sensor lights Anyone know when dahua would make 25 fps 4K instead of just 7fps? Or won't they make it at all so I can decide just to get the 3mp for now (instead of waiting it). Btw.. external IR illuminators sold locally can only work with the analogs ccd.. anyone got a clue why the IR illuminators is invisible to the IP cmos?

MR2 0 Posted May 28, 2015 Or won't they make it at all so I can decide just to get the 3mp for now (instead of waiting it). if you are under the impression that 25fps is what you need, buy the 3mp now, maybe two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other thing being sold locally is something smelly... Someone's yanking your chain. IR illuminators work fine with IP cams that have movable IR filters.

The other thing being sold locally is something smelly... Someone's yanking your chain. IR illuminators work fine with IP cams that have movable IR filters. The one that doesn't work is tested using IP cams that have no built in IR. So the answer may be it has fixed IR filter. How about those dahua mini PTZs (like the following) without any built in IR. Does its sensor have movable or fixed IR filter. How do you check? http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/sd32203s-hn-807.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted May 29, 2015 It says it's a day-night camera, which usually means a movable IR filter, but it's always good to check if they don't say that specifically. ETA: It specifies ICR, which is IR cut-filter removal, which means it does have a movable IR filter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
