T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
@Arjun How do you have the LEDs come on when IVS detects motion ? Through the Home Assistant integration (GitHub - rroller/dahua: Dahua Camera and Doorbell Home Assistant Integration), you can control the illumination of some Dahua camera, but unfortunately it is not (yet) compatible with... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
So I raised the issue of Day/Night settings for the IPC-Color4M-T to Andy (camera switching to Day settings just after the warm light is activated). He said he forwarded it to Dahua. In the meantime, I am back to Auto settings and it somehow works. As advised, I compensated the weak warm light... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
Ok when I say "good exposure", it means that it is acceptable (not fully black). But I still have work to do to see what is the best combination to work around this bug. The exposure is flickering between states for one second before settling down on the final exposure. For just a glimpse, I... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
More details about the bug: it is related to the working mode Day/Night. In the middle of the night, I have half a second of the Night settings and then it is switching to the Day settings. Which is why the light is going from bright to dim and why the exposure is going to under exposed... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
Ok I found the bug. I noticed that the warm light is bright for around 0.5 seconds then it is switching to a much lower brightness (which is probably why the picture goes black as the exposure is set to the former brightness). It is happening when I am changing the IVS rule, for instance for a... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
I updated to the latest firmware (with AI-ISP disabled) and I got the same issue: as soon as the "Warm Light" is activated, everything goes to black after half a second (like if the camera was trying to under expose). Anyone has any idea of what is happening ? -

I used exactly the settings as recommended here: https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/t54pro-ze-vs-ipc-color4m-tz.83914/#post-966226 Shutter 0-8.33 Gain 0-50 -

Ok I sent you a direct message with the link. Sorry I am not yet comfortable sharing video online on public forum. -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
I'll have to test myself (as a subject) to see in which condition this weird behavior is happening exactly. Normally the warm light is working correctly when I am not too far (around 5 meters). But I haven't tested myself when I am a bit far away. I am using the Home Assistant integration and I... -

Sure, thanks ! How can I send you the video ? It is around 9 MB. Honestly I don't think there is any real risk (especially given how bad the video is) but you never know here. Have you seen what kind of sign is necessary to display when you have cameras outside ? This is ridiculous... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
Got my first interesting real use case for my IPC-COLOR4M-TL (3.6mm). One person walking in front of my house around 3am, around 10 meters from the camera. It was a total disaster... The camera was set up with "Smart Illumination", so at first the camera was in IR mode: the person walking is... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
I tested and it works surprisingly well. I disabled Frigate motion detection and motion analysis and only enable it when the camera is detecting a person. Delay is less than one second between camera detection and start of recording. That way in case of fog, as long as the camera doesn't detect... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
On both my cameras, the fog/mist looks a bit more like the video from @bigredfish. I can see the individual particles. So if this was like that on the older cameras as well, there is no use to raise the issue with Dahua: there is not much of a difference (at least on my cameras). -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
Yes I have almost exactly the same issue as viewed on the bottom left image (T54PRO). It looks like a storm. But to be fair, on your example it is difficult to conclude that it is the T54PRO AI processing, as the T54PRO is the only one with IR illumination. Do we have an example of older camera...
