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

    Great image! He’s not missing any meals! Can you tell us your exposure, image, NR etc settings? I think we’re seeing that the 54PRO ZE needs added light (white or IR) at night very much like the 5442 does. Image processing Magic only gets you so far ;)

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

    You have the day/night switch toggled to Auto? Sensitivity 1? Or you can just force it with adding the “warning light” to an IVS rule, OR use Smart Illumination in Auto. Both will force the white LEDs to kick on and switch to color …

    Should I move up to a NVR after 16+ years?

    Depends on your long term plans and if you’re happy with the CVI cameras. I ran an XVR for many years and it was fine. Image quality was actually pretty good.. Then about 5 years ago having added some IP cameras and seeing the difference, I slowly switched over to all IP. Biggest problem with...

    So confused on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X ?

    Lighting makes all the difference;. I think this is pretty decent focus for a surveillance camera. 5- 35+ ft

    Yeah, No. Any car moving is probably going to be blurry. Go back and find the exposure settings I gave you that you had before.

    I doubt its a camera problem. Go see if you see the red LED's on from outside

    I dunno. Have to see in the daytime and see settings. Distance? There's a huge difference from the edge of the circle to that far car and it's plate isnt very well lit up You're 2nd video in Post#167 and image in Post #169 were tons better. Something changed.

    There's no IR on in that video. You're either in color, or the IR is off or some weird setting. Make sure IR is Manual 100

    BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, says it has reached an agreement with OpenAI regarding its ownership stake. Under the new terms, Microsoft now holds a 27% stake in OpenAI, valued at $135 billion, and OpenAI has committed to purchasing $250 billion worth of Azure services. See how that works?

    Well at least the cameras we want and potentially won’t be able to buy will be cheaper!

    Trade wars have consequences. While an argument can be made about security, lets face it this wouldn't be happening otherwise and there are still thousands of vulnerable IoT things out these that can be used the same way by nefarious actors or state sponsored groups.

    Good eye. I'll try and get a night shot tonight with the other two cams IR turned off. Remember it kinda sits in a hole so the width of the IR beam is greatly restricted.

    You’re delusional and deranged. The problem is you’re so in the tank for Trump that anything that doesn’t praise him as the second coming must be from “moonbats” and can’t possibly be true. “Nonsensical” meaning doesn’t agree with your opinion? :rolleyes: I’ve actually been spending much more...

    Way less time than you spent finding your supporting info and typing your rant, which helps reinforce that .... Its about Oil. Its actually harder and takes more time finding GOOD things about him on X and other social media. Living in a FOX news bubble shields you from that.
