Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
HDR reduces the dynamic range in the final picture on CCTV. It uses the ability to see a wider range of contrast to recover more detail and lighten dark areas to improve the picture. It's not the same as watching a HDR TV where HDR increases the amount of visible dynamic range to deepen dark areas. -

I'm guessing you like soft pictures. That looks perfect to me and exactly how sharp I'd like my pictures to be. The detail and sharpness are sublime. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
That looks truly aweful. Not only are the skull brothers out of focus but so is the scarecrow 1/2 way down the lawn and other items in dark areas. It looks as if the iris might be wide open causing a very shallow dof and the camera is strugling with the contrast. I see contrast issues with the... -
Kid's room camera recommendations
Be aware of the drawbacks of bedroom cams. Highly recommend you don't enable remote access and certainly don't port forward if you do, but go locally hosted vpn on your router. There have been numerous incidents of pervs watching children by hacking security cams. My advice would be keep them...- CCTVCam

So confused on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X ?
Yeah the X version certainly achieves a much better picture. I wish I'd gone X's now. The issue is the bullet formats drawbacks - larger, more visible, easy to turn around, wiring exposed. -
New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module
Do you still need video cards for the higher YOLO modules to work? AMD processors seem to getting some pretty serious graphics capability built in eg 8500G has 256 Stream Processors, the 8600G 512. The next gen 9000G series are supposed to be more powerful still although I couldn't find any... -
Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible
Hire a female bouncer, dress her up as a witch & paint her face so she no longer looks human. Put her out at the time the woman usually jogs by, watch the action.- CCTVCam

Camera recommendation for a wide area
This is a night photo but also shows the power of pointing back towards a property. This is my rear yard which isn't approachable from behind the camera (normally anyway, alsway posisble with some fence etc climbing). The advanatge is all the main breakin poins covered. With the camera pointing...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The lighting is handled beter on the new firmware esepcially at noon. However, I don't think the jaggies are a bad thing. I much prefer the fir trees on the right and the stones / plants in front of the house on the earlier firmware 0827. They're supposed to be jagged. That's the needle detail... -
Camera recommendation for a wide area
If you're already got a ptz watching the driveway, then I'd be inclined to do what Hobs suggested and mount it on a post looking back towards the house. One of the issues of pointing cameras away from a property is people close up can walk under the cameras vertical field of view and anything...- CCTVCam

Camera recommendation for a wide area
Without ambient light the 4Kt's and 180 derivatives will see nothing. The night colour cameras do need a minimum level of illumination to work. Leaving the cameras built in white LEDS on will provide some light but it's intensity and reach will be very limited so you would need other dusk to...- CCTVCam

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
You'd think so but no, you won't be able to enlarge the picture very much before it loses definition. You've got the best chance on one of the variable aperture cameras as these can narrow the aperture when it's bright as an alternative to increasing the shutter speed (a balance is needed here)... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
You don't need to go that high unless you want to. My cameras are at about 6ft 6 inches. Maybe the lowest on here? Its very rare cameras are ever attacked on residential properties and if they were, they'd have to walk up close to the lens 1st which means you'll almost certainly get a good... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
I wasn't impresded with the daytime picture, Night was impossible to assess due to there being no camparison in the video I linked between the night picture, the actual light as seen by an eye and another known camera. Overall not impressed. It maybe there isn't a great low light sensor between... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
From this review, I'm not very impressed with the sample footage: youtu.be/se5U1hmTq9A?si=SrqhO-giTWG2-YZg (Add https:// to the front of this. I had to remove it top stop it embedding as media) I would keep my 4KT's over that if typical. Could be down to settings as there looks to be a bit of... -
Can not log into Windows 10 after an update
Have you tried booting into Safe Mode with Command Prompt Mike? If so and you can get in, try running CMD as Admin and using the DISM commands, namely the DISM Restore and Cleanup commands (not much point using the file checking one) when you know there's an issue. The DISM commands should...- CCTVCam

Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
As per above, the Camera did exist but it cost @ $5k + lens + enclosure & heater + wiper etc. I think the final bill was approaching $10k from the 1 person on here who bought one. That said, the performance was sublime, at least with the lens they fitted. It might be asking a lot to see that at... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
Very true but this is where a more sensitive sensor & slightly narrower aperture would help. The new 54Pros address this in a round about way for daytime by using variable iris. So you may still get Shallow focus at night, but in the day when it's bright & the aperture can be narrowed, the DOF... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I personally like that level of sharpness. It's only a bit in your face because of the tremendous amount of leaf detail in the hedge. When you look in other areas of the picture and at the mail person, it looks very life like so I'm not sure it's an issue. Personal preference maybe. . If... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
What I also like is despite the high level of detail in the bushes which take up a considerable part of the picture, there's no evidence of compression at play. It all looks like genuine leaves. That's a considerable improvement over the 4kt in that situation. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yeah I apologise. I'm as guilty as anyone for taking it off topic. As you said there are a number of issues going on which refer to the 54pro, but also warrant other discussion. Will try to keep the thread more on topic. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I agree but I'd also consider lowering it's position. It looks a bit high (around 8-9 feet?) and mounting it lower will reduce the ceiling reflection as well as giving a better facial shot. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
No not internal LEDS. A separate LED floodlight with a separate PIR sensor. (I like to keep sensor and light separate so I can change just one when something fails). I'm not keen on internal LEDS as they're not as bright as a separate light and once they go dim over time, it's new camera time... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
You can use a larger bulb or mount the light further out or use a small flood to give directional light further out. Remember I don't need to see far out here and I have a motion triggered flood light as well. The 400 lumen light is just so the background recording can see, the IVS can be... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Some points: 1. IVS are directional. They only react when crossed in a direction at 90 degrees to the direction of the lines. When you're drawing them you should see some arrows showing the direction in which they will react. On the back set here at the top, you can just see an up / down arrow... -

Just put up a decorative lamp with a 400 lumen bulb on a dusk to dawn sensor like I did. It only needs an LED of around 5-6w so wan't cost much to run. That way you never have total darkness. It also means if for any reason the iVS trips don't get tripped, the background recording will record... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
100%. I'm running a 4kt with a 1/1.2" sensor. Even then I need to add a 400 lumen supplemental dawn to dusk light to allow me to run 4ms at night. As it happens, when triggered I'm probably going to always get an excellent picture at 4ms because I also have a 1500 lumen motion triggered... -

With trip wires (IVS) you should get virtually no false alrms. I've had about 2 in 3 years, both caused by sun shadows. Note there's an art to drawing trip wires, you need to note the direction of trigger, the anchor points as sometimes they look anchored but there's room for objects to pass... -

Along way from being blur free. Too much gain, too slow a shutter: The front kid has become a ghost (classic gain effect). The back two are trailing. You're not identifying anyone from them: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Sometimes it depends on the angle and distance to the camera, Moving left to right as opposed to straight at or away, also results in more relative movement. When I had my issue with blur I had 6ms set which should have been plenty, but when I was close up one night, when I reviewed the...
