Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Just go with the 1028 update, no reason not to at this point, been running it on two here since release. Auto LED's a bit wonky but that can be overcome. Like you and many others, hoping these can be saved to some degree with firmware, otherwise 54Pro v2 will be the next fix. On the plus side at... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
No it is fine, any degradation will not be noticeable. Worked very well on the occasion when I've used it on either IR cams or flashlights. I have a few different types, some are more textured than others, not huge differences for IR though, mostly more noticeable on white LED's. If I can dig... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Have you tried using some 'frosted glass effect' window film/vinyl, it works great as a diffuser on white leds and also IR emitters. Have used it in the past on my starlight models that weren't very well diffused, cheap enough and does the job. I intend to add some on my S3 turret when I work... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I would happily do this with at least two or possibly all three of mine! frankly. It is bugging me already, when a manufacturer releases a product pretty much half baked, simply no excuses. I mean come on, it takes a bunch of enthusiasts to test the prototype :wtf: -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I got three the same so you were smarter than me, I've made better decisions but :lmao: Stupidly assumed they would be similar or same as the S3 series, as an ex work colleague used to say...assume makes an ass of you and me! -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Indeed, we paid to be beta testers, what a deal right :facepalm: - I should know better, an expensive lesson, now I need to buy more cameras to fix it. -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I have so far found the 49225PTZ, 5442 bullet and S3 bullet to have best IR power, in that order give or take with the latter two. Hard to say with the 54ProZE turret, at this point I would say less power than the others mentioned. I suspect that the S3 sensor is possibly just more sensitive to... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Unless you drop shutter below 2ms you can forget freezing motion on these 54Pro's, 4ms, 8.33ms, forget it, never going to happen. Below 2ms (ideally 1ms) and you will see motion freeze as sharp as the static objects. I am not saying it is ideal and you probably sick of me bashing on about it but... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I can almost guarantee you have motion blur in those 54Pro images, shutter will need to be lower than 2 to stop that, try 1.5 or ideally 1. Currently I am running my car monitoring Pro at 0.7ms. It will sharpen up the freeze frame then. Give it a try if you haven't already, disable NR also and... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
If the sign on the S3 is sharper or easier to read, it isn't by much, very close I would say. Pro image no doubt has a nicer look to it, will await the night images, hopefully with a visitor! -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
They look pretty good with just the onboard or some crossover from another white LED camera, mine are in a black hole for light and I have been quite impressed. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yep, concur with that, as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, or in this case 'pictures' :thumb: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I believe the extreme edges of the lens/image are not as good as they could be, but the only 'blur' is the out of focus area which is anything closer than about 4-5 feet. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes, appears that the 4K has it faults and limitations like many cameras, low light performance is not one of them thankfully :thumb: For me it performs in two critical areas, low light performance and the ability to freeze action very well. Oh, and I guess a third would be 8MP resolution... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I find these Pro's very polarising! there are some situations in the day where the playback quality can look better than the 4K, I also find as you have that the shadows can be darker. As I type this, the light is fading fast here. Sunset was officially 7 minutes ago, the 54ProZE is already in... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The IR from my testing is OK but nothing special, my 49225 PTZ's will still run circles round them at short to medium range, but that is not uncommon, my 5442 series bullets have the best IR. The 4K-T would no doubt beat the Pro in a straight night battle, with that scene. I have two overlapping... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
This is the truth, so dark here lately, good for camera testing at the extremes though, so there is that! -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
100% on all points, I feel like there is a good sensor locked away in there, so far with no way of escaping! Grain seems to be a thing with these 54Pro's, which I do not mind if the detail is there. All IP cams should be setup from the factory to capture at least human motion, both day and... -
OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras
Second question for today! I used to run the overlay text display on my 49225 PTZ without issues, should this also work on a IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 bullet, appears not to be at the moment after I enable 'custom title' on said camera. Guessing maybe a different setup on the newer cameras, or possibly... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Join the club :wow: :thumb: My testing is now limited to new firmware releases, I have seen plenty of this camera to last me a very long time otherwise!
