    I'm sure the price has too :rofl: Not ashamed to admit that I went through that phase as did many, it was fun, but by the 80's I was climbing telephone poles and went another direction.

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

    Actually I aim for a balanced video. Not too much noise nor blur..I’ll accept more noise than blur if it makes enough difference in being able to positively ID the target. But I know I'm at the limits of either the camera or available light when I can't find an acceptable balance. The answer is...

    Actually we got Weller 107 barrel proof in the gold lace bottle for about $40 then. Now if you can find it on secondary market it’s $5000+ :oops: If we only knew… But you could get 1/4 lb of pot for that same $40 so guess which was more popular ? ( for those who didn’t grow up in the 70’s...

    dahua SMD

    could be a lot if things from settings to the FOV. Not enough detail or image examples to know. SMD is not typically the best choice for that. Try using IVS

    I think this speaks to the “fine line” I have and that Ronald Reagan, who passed the law allowing for emergency care regardless of status or ability to pay, intended. Is there healthcare fraud amongst illegals? Sure. Same with many natural born Americans. Visit a hospital ER lately? And yes it...

    We have a lot of "Republicans" that are really NE liberals. Losing DeSantis is going to hurt.

    I have one supposedly coming so looking on with interest. Plan is to use it to catch faces on the street 45-50ft in color under my weak ass 1930's street light. Pretty sure it uses candles or oil

    Wood bracket broke on one of my license plate cameras.

    I think it took a dive on purpose out of frustration with that white vehicle being parked in its FOV too long.

    1/50? Wow, anything slower than 1/120 usually won’t freeze motion or reduce blur much for me at night even with decent ambient light

    Also check specs for close focus distance. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 10ft or more..

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

    Are you viewing main stream or substream on it? It has a habit of "settling down" and much has to do with the scene and multiple complex fine details, like trees with leaves and grass. Enough NR and shutter you can make it all but disappear. Higher bitrates help as can lower frame rates. Its...

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Won't really know until you can get a car or human moving captured, but it looks good. 1/120 is pretty much my slowest exposure for nighttime. All depends on ambient light of course, but even that (8.33ms) is too slow in many cases. If I can't get lower I live with B&W/IR or add lights!

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

    That’s the pulse of the full frame loading. See it on most cams if you look close enough. These settings are about where I ended up. Very close to same as 5442s. Difference is a brighter image with better dynamic range but with fine digital fuzz that can be pretty much mitigated during the...

    By the way, on the IVS, I just updated the firmware.bin with the 10/28 package for a 3rd time and it seems to be working. Apparently when you update the main FW even the same FW thats on it, the algorithms are still messed up unless you upload firmware.bin again. I am currently running 8...
