2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech
yes, color-4m (34PRO) models are from released in 2024 Dahua TIOC-PRO 3449-PRO camera line... except color4m-tl and color4m-xl models which are from Dahua 2449 only white led line. Andy made a small mess under the color4m / color8m banner - and that's why I strongly appeal for cleaning up and...- steve1225

Rainbow glare in the morning
move/rotate camera in place/direction where this will not be a problem... use sun cover / shade (bullets usually have this).. -
My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)
Very nice... Did you use white light on the camera? or some spot light next to the camera? the white moving spots looks like dust reflections from the light... I would invest/install some white spotlights (narrow beam) / flood lights (wide beam) on the building or fence - but in some distance...- steve1225

you can do IVS on camera (using camera AI resources) and then face detection/recognition of NVR (using NVR AI resources).. usually limited to 1/2/4/8 channels (depending of type of NVR and used other AI functions)..- steve1225

EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser
there is another possibility. on modern (UI5) cams webplugin is not a webplugin any more. Modern browsers from many years don't support any web plugins.. the only browser who have any support is old Internet Explorer (using ActiveX technology). on modern browsers webplugin is done as Windows... -
Auto Tracking Pets with Dahua
Dahua never released any PTZ camera which officially supported animal tracking (in spec sheet). Only human and vehicles. Older non-AI models did that, but only because they couldn't differentiate animal from human. Sometimes never AI models track bigger animals, but only because they think... -
My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)
Tip from other PTZ models: Use a maximum of 80-90% zoom range... Typically, at the maximum 100% zoom PTZ cams / optics produces the most image distortion and instability.- steve1225

2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech
Not only, there are some Dahua low line plastic 2449 models with only white light (no IR) sold as Color4M in Andy shop (sub 100 USD models)... they should be called 24WHITE or 24COLOR - or something like that... this is why I ask for model numbering unification...

2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech
@EMPIRETECANDY Andy, please change the Color4M/8M camera designations to the system we chose together (34PRO). Currently, practically three different camera lines have been released as Color4M. It's hard to tell them apart, especially low line plastic white light only 2449 models. Furthermore...- steve1225

Luminys migration / NVR question
Let me guess.... Are you a Mac user? Do you have Microsoft Office (Word/Excel etc) installed? The CSS styles used in the Dahua NVR interface use appropriately selected fonts for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. And the interface normally looks OK on these platforms... The whole thing becomes...- steve1225

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Avigilon is doing CCTV systems for corporations, who need multiple 100+ cameras systems.. And they have good integrated solution for that (especially VMS / software side, camera hardware is mediocre at best). Price is from the hell, but they have many advantages for that big integrations... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes.. On the new NVR model new firmware with new UI will be updated / extended for next 2-3 years.. As it was always on PRO line of cameras or NVRs... So no worries here... if there are bugs they should be fixed... I don't know what policy update Dahua will take for older 5xxx-EI (2022... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
there is no such thing as signals sent over POE to the recording equipment :) POE is a Power over Ethernet standards.. except some negotiation for power, it simply sends 48V over CAT5 cable :) Nothing more... Dahua NVRs and IPCs are using many protocols, all over classic TCP/IP (or UDP/IP in... -
Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?
it's not - decoding capabilities are half of 5xxx-EI (-AI models in Andy shop).. And 5xxx-EI is old model (2022), replaced by new 5xxx-EI2 (AI-S2 in Andy shop, 2x more AI limits, bigger decoding capabilities, some extra AI functionality).. ps. I'm not 100% sure, but as I understand Luminys vs...- steve1225
