Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes, just a small improvement would be nice, seems like it will be next month at the earliest now, latter part I suspect. Those two cameras look interesting, my beta testing days are over for a while now but I do hope these work out for you :thumb: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Guessing most owners are either just living with these now or have moved them on. I still have one brand new in the box and two which are up and running, both of which will get replaced unless we have a miracle firmware fix in the next few months. They can be repurposed elsewhere I guess... -

OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras
I would still like to know if anyone has the text overlay running on a IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 bullet camera, if so what script/command they are using. :thumb: *****Update, just resolved this. In camera Overlay I enabled 'Location' then used the normal script/command... -
IR halo ring issue in a IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2.
On the older turrets they used to have a foam ring around the lens, this was meant to press against the glass. In theory the function was to stop IR reflections, often these were not positioned correctly from factory. I had to split the turret open and reposition these on a couple of 2mp... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Depending on the brightness and direction of those lights, I see this frequently on an old 49225 PTZ when car headlights drive towards it. Internal reflections (lens flare) causing the light to bounce around within the lens assembly, potentially. -
HDD recommendation
Annoying, best get it swapped out, only so many times it will come back to life no doubt about that! Some will say brand is personal preference, I will take WD every single time, but only in 5 year warranty flavour, ie Blacks or Enterprise. I used to have a stack of failed Seagates removed from... -

HDD recommendation
The big problem is they can vary depending on model (size), also some of the enterprise 7200's are actually very good, if in a vibration damped mounting. I sit next to (3 feet away) a 14TB WD enterprise drive in a PC which uses only Noctua fans, it registers 30-32db virtually next to the case... -
HDD recommendation
I have done dB test in the past, but the general noise is louder, 'machine gun' effect is also quite a bit louder. The enterprise style in the external drive enclosures are pretty good if you have them in a good drive mount, ie with anti vibration fixings in the case, suspect in the NVR you will... -
HDD recommendation
Unlimited budget and no care about noise - WD Blacks or enterprise 7200rpm Budget and care about noise - WD Purple Handy with tools and great value - WD External on offer and remove the drive :thumb: **For info I have been supplying and building systems for 25 years, can't ever remember a WD... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Think I will try a factory reset on the one I have running latest firmware, this might also allow me to rollback if desired. Will report outcome if I go ahead with that. -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I am seeing this both in live view and playback, similar effect to running 5 frames per second. -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Has anyone recently tried going back to a previous firmware? If I try this it gives me an error and fails whilst trying to install after the upload.
