Pro Series with Smart Hybrid Light - Review and First impressions

Hikvision PTZ cameras
Ah possibly this you were referring to

Hikvision Easy IP 4.0 Plus camera availability?

Hikvision has launched EasyIP 4.0 Plus series: Hikvision Network Camera Pro Series with ColorVu But don't see the cameras listed on hikvision's website, let alone any info about pricing etc. Any idea when these will actually be available?

Thankyou
I would hope that it’s a step up from the g2 hybrid. To be honest just parity would be good.

My issue was I had a warranty replacement of a colorvu camera which had issues in WDR mode and mistakenly swapped it for a hybrid.

Some of the features look good, hopefully it won’t be a long time till they appear in the UK

I’m really disappointed in this camera to be honest. In pure ColorVu mode at night the smaller lense is materially worse than the non hybrid version. I feel a bit cheated to be honest.

I normally put a lot of research into hikvision cameras but I made an assumption that it was a later model and wouldn’t have a poorer lens. I will look to order the older version to replace it

I'm a new adopter of Hikvision cameras and recently purchased the 8MP hybrid for my driveway. As it turns out, at night, the street light opposite my house provides enough supplementary light that the camera can stay in ColorVu mode. To me the quality is pretty good (as I don't know any different) but knowing that the G3 is in the pipeline, I will probably move the camera to the back garden where it is pitch black. At least the hybrid will be useful there!

Interestingly the colorvu turret looks to have a tiny sensor. One of the first things I noticed when unboxing the hybrid was the lens looked really small. I assumed it was newer technology…

This may just be marketing material that’s inaccurate but I’m not so sure.
 
Obviously I don’t know if that’s a 4mp or 4k etc… but it’s not a good sign

That’s a good plan. Don’t get me wrong the quality is still very good, but it’s noticeably inferior to what I’d had in place for 2.5 years. So to take a step back on my warranty replacement was annoying.

I’m not sure what you are looking at? The sensor size is in the specs; it sits behind the lens so you cannot see it in a photo. Currently they use a 16mm lens sat over that 1/1.8” sensor.
 
I’d not seen the specs yet. Ok so it’s using the same sensor size as the hybrid cameras. That’s a shame
