    2025 EmpireTech Product Release

    This is picture teardown comparison of normal HIK M-series (left) and new HIK VPro NVR (right picture, which is equivalent of 5xxx-PRO NVR Dahua models)... the new "inteligent" NVRs will have 2 processors inside. One classic NVR SOC (under radiator), second will be new external high performance...

    2025 EmpireTech Product Release

    One more thing - Andy put new 5xxx-EI2 recorders on his shop.. They are called AI-S2 (wrrrrr Andy we must talk more about Your products model names :)) and they are only 20-40$ more comparing to old 5xxx-EI in the same configurations (channels output, POE, HDDs)... They look identical - but...

    2025 EmpireTech Product Release

    As I repeated many times in the past - good F1.0 varifocal (zoom) optics are much bigger than F1.6 or F1.8 ones are.. New varifocal turret T54PRO-ZE is monstrous next to old T54IR-AS/-ZE.. the same with bullets... Plus they fit speaker/siren and quadruple hybrid lights into all models (even...

    Experience with Unifi Protect and UNVR Pro

    you need unifi cam... those events are available over ONVIF, but ubiquiti don't want to support this (business decision).

    Replace ColorVu cameras with IR

    Andy should release new 54PRO (5459-PRO) & 58PRO - latest & greatest 4/8 Mpx in 1/1.8" and F1.0 aperture with strong hybrid lights (IR + white), which are very handy.. IR can work at night, white can be (or not, depending of configuration) activated by motion in situation of too low lights.. In...

    Experience with Unifi Protect and UNVR Pro

    Before G6, Ubiquiti used mostly 1/2.8" sensors on lower cams... Now with G6, they migrated to 1/1.8" on lower cams and in PRO there is 1/1.2".. big change in plus... but YouTube videos shows that video processing is at level comparable to Dahua/HIK cams 4 years ago... plus lack of more lens...

    Replace ColorVu cameras with IR

    54IR (5442) also starts at $150 today hybrid lights in latest cams (like hybrid ColorVu or TIOC-PRO or WizColor) are no-cost thing.. $150 price point is cost of big image sensors (1/1.8") with good night performance, good optics and good video processing (modern SOC).. everything below this...

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

    I have one - as test cam... it works well on manual settings (automatic ones are bad)... I want to create comparison to 54IR, 34PRO and Color4K - but I don't have space to mount 4 cams next to each other with some nice street view (modern concrete flat roof square house with no soffit or wood...

    NVR608RH-32-XI Dropping Frames in Continuous Recording. Need Help to Fix This Issue.

    Experience with Unifi Protect and UNVR Pro

    I will repeat, what I wrote in different thread: Big minus of the kit - very basic G5 cameras are included.. small sensor, only fixed lens, very very weak IR plus only basic AI (smart detections like SMD, no face/plate detections or AI recognition).. plus this small NVR is limited to 6 (POE)...

    Difference between the modes?

    Without AI / without motion detection / with higher framerate (50/60 fps) With AI / with motion detection / with lower framerate (25/30 fps) 25/30 fps is enough for any normal usage...

    NVR608RH-32-XI Dropping Frames in Continuous Recording. Need Help to Fix This Issue.

    if live view on NVR on this channel is OK, then next possible reason is bad HDD... RAID0 is most stupid idea to do RAID matrix on NVR.. there is no redundancy there at all in RAID0... All recordings are evenly distributed across 4 drives - failure of any one of them results in the loss of 100%...

    Ubiquiti's New UNVR-Instant-Kit (Comes with UniFi Protect, ViewPoint, 1TB HDD, and 4x G5 Turret Cameras)

    NVR608RH-32-XI Dropping Frames in Continuous Recording. Need Help to Fix This Issue.

    If it were the web interface, there was a known issue in the 2024 NVRs firmware where, depending on the web browser and whether plugins were installed, the player could "skip" over video fragments. In the case of HDMI, it works normally here. You'd have to show a video of your problem...

    Does this problems shows over NVR web interface only? Did you test hdmi interface? Smartpss and/or DMSS?

    Replace ColorVu cameras with IR

    Yours old cameras are identical to Dahua Color4K with 1/1.2" sensor - which have very good light sensitivity.. If they can't capture image at night, it means that you simply don't have light there at all... You should buy hybrid cams with both IR and white.. Dahua have TIOC-PRO (aka Color4M /...

    AcuPick

    ventilation slots are on both sides - so it needs space there... put them somewhere on top some shelf / cabinets where it can breathe... on amazon you can buy cheap long (10/20m) HDMI optical cable and USB extender cable (for mouse) which work ..

    AcuPick

    it's combination of SOC + firmware on both camera & NVR.. for now AcuPick 2.0 works on WizMind-S (5x42-S3 aka 5xIR), WizMind-X (7x42-X aka 7xIR) and new WizColor (5x59-PRO aka 5x-PRO) cams... it requires NVRs: 5xxx-EI or 5xxx-XI or higher to support data from camera (and create 3d models of...
