I imagine the bandwidth graphs for Axis camera is supposed to be a Q3708 not 9, correct? Either way, thanks for breaking out the bitrate per megapixel, it really puts it as an apple to apple comparison easy to use.

Is it as big as the Hanwha multi from the other day?

New firmware:
DH_IPC-PFW8XXX-Nova_EngSpn_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000.11.R.20170928
General_IPC-PFW8XXX-Nova_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000.11.R.20170928
Release notes not available. However, I noticed improved image quality.

This is probably more of a Dahua fault than a testing one but the PDBW8802-A180 provides much better night time and has true WDR as it uses 4 x IMX185 image sensors. They don't advertise this model properly online yet but this is likely due to stock being in the channel and the fear of stock compensation because of a new replacement camera.
