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

What is Super AI Coding? Something technical, or something Marketing thinks sounds good?
Super AI Coding is Dahua code for more :poop: . Lots more :poop: . Those clowns have no self-respect. :thumbdown:
 
The cameras already have AI coding. This is supposedly better than H265. This new version is Super AI Coding which is a better version of AI coding. Not too sure on the specifics of it but you would probably need an NVR that has that capability in order for it to work. Then again.... How many people actually used the older AI coding?

It's just a superlative for their existing AI Coding technology, possibly with an incremental improvement. Their AI Coding feature is for if you think the quality of your video feed is too high even at the lowest setting, and you want to lower it further. It works by freezing elements of the frame that they deem to be unimportant. You know, things like faces, license plates, etc. It's supposed to detect constants (such as camera noise), and suppress them, saving that static bandwidth when recording 24/7. But in the real world, it tends to behave as just described. And as it's lacking any sort of adjustable settings, you can't improve its behavior any. PASS on another useless feature!

You can read their brief on it here: Super AI Coding, save storage, cut costs
 
How many complain that they think the quality of their video feed is too high even at the lowest setting, and they want to lower it further?

It is usually the exact opposite. The quality sucks and they want it improved.
 
New Dahua products to watch:
4 series: using the budget SC485SL and SC855SL sensors like the 2-series PROX, built with battery cameras in mind but also way better than 2024’s PRO on paper and with auto ICR we actually get to put low end Lightbox IR tech to the test.

5 series “LE”
These don’t have any direct tells in their specs like the ones above but maybe using SC489SL and SC859SL representing the very best, latest CMOS from China (w/ Lightbox 2) and, if true, would be interesting to compare to the S3.

Just installed the .13 software on all five cameras. so far fine. I run Self Adaptive on all five. ISA-ISP on, ISA-SSA off. full color 24x7. two cameras in front showing north & south view overlapping, one camera on each side showing east view, and one in back yard showing north view. full 360° coverage mostly.

Any more details and/or links along with ballpark timetable @OD1 ?

A truly new (improved) sensor would be welcome.

Nope just saw those released on dahua website. The new 4 series is a direct tell that it’s using SCxx5SL because of the fixed 1FPS stream. We saw these budget sensors in the PROX, but with fixed IR filter, we couldn’t test the “100% IR improvement”.

New 5 series is just speculation - LE might just be a dumbed down version of the old PRO with less storage and RAM.
 
Datasheet links for the 4MP eyeball PRO and PRO-LE. ... not seeing much differences ... plus min illumination numbers are the same, so presumably same old sensor ... :-(

To echo your comment about "less storage and RAM", those numbers are absent from the LE's specs ...

Have you seen any new options/features, albeit the Release Notes imply there are (basically) none.
Curious to hear your impression if any different in image/video quality, especially at night.

Mystery solved. Almost certainly a dumbed down old pro. I’m not touching a new 5 series until lightbox2 hits the shelves.

Also kind of a shame they’re using the budget battery-focused sensors in a “WizMind” 4 series but there is still a chance these are decent.

Ooopsss :rofl:

BREAKING: ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News, all five networks of the White House TV pool, have just suspended all coverage of Trump's public events effective immediately over the White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, with no replacement pool, saying "no administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting."

The White House left the primary TV pool slot empty for today, the day CNN was due to lead it for Trump's trip to the UN General Assembly in New York, after CNN's White House reporter had her pass confiscated on Saturday.

Trump begins UN week, two days after cutting short Camp David over a possible escalation with Iran, with no shared network feed of his public events.
