Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
But please give us the capability to go manual ... not only if we need to for the scene ... but also for testing purposes so we can control the settings. Looking forward to the firmware Andy and I'll definitely give it a go on my camera's. Bonus points if you can provide some detailed release... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Here's an animated GIF (generated from PNG snapshots downloaded directly from the camera) showing the difference (with my scene) between HLC OFF and HLC=1. That's quite a bit of difference visually ... plus look at the Histograms. Seems puzzling to me that setting HLC to just ONE (the scale... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
BTW, since the two camera's are darn close to identical, I'm going to take 'em down in a few hours since I need to paint the wall/camera's and get it permanently mounted ... as my wife is getting back in a few days and she is not as supportive as Mrs. Bigredfish when it comes our camera... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
Good info @bigredfish ... but can I suggest maybe posting this on the "main thread" since I just meant to spin off a discussion about comparing two identical cameras. Having said all that(!), I tried turning HLC off, but still see some dancing pixels - it's hard to quantify how much of a... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
That IS a very difficult scene (even without Mrs. Bigredfish's hair in it to assess sharpness! ;-) with lots dynamic range, lotsa detail, and focus from near to far. Having you tried any HLC ... just do ONE ... as it seems to knock down the highlights more than you think it would. This... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
Yep - there are dancing pixels ... but in this thread, I'm just focusing on comparing two of the same cameras and seeing how "identical" they are - so far, so good ... which bodes well for Dahua manufacturing/quality control. Having said that, here's 90 seconds from this morning - shows me... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
No wind this morning ... and not cloudy ... so enough light to run at 1msec (full iris, ZERO gain) and good that the two images looks pretty identical. There's quite a bit of dynamic range between the bright sun and shadows ... the camera is doing a decent job IMHO. There a separate/common... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I don't if this is related to the orange cast issue that is being optimized, but FWIW here's what I see. I'm running with very slow shutter & high gain (don't ask!) with no added light and Auto WB ... and figured this was the camera making it's best guess as there is a variety of light sources... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I'm also curious about #2 as I might be seeing something like this - hoping they provide some more details that you can share about exactly what the problem is and how it is fixed. I'm also seeing a bit of an orange cast at night (running with very slow shutter & high gain) ... but I figured... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Any chance this is related to my thread "Less sharpness in T54PRO-ZE (versus 5442-S3) possibly due to noise reduction being applied even if set to ZERO?" It sounds like Dahua needs to ante up for an all-expense paid trip for Mrs. Bigredfish (and a companion) to visit China so she can help with... -

T54PRO-ZE wiring harness - lots of wires - believe 12V power OUT is new (and probably on other 2025 cams)
FYI FWIW that here's a picture of the wiring hardness from the T54PRO-ZE ... figured a searchable post might be handy for those down the road wondering who, like me, are not long-time expert installers like many here. I believe the other new cams have similar wiring ... and that the 12V power... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
Unfortunately, I don't have a managed switch that would show me power draw ... but that's kinda funky one was a few watts more ... because they are only pulling about 5 Watts (no lights, etc.) to begin with. Yea, I'm not expecting any "earth-shattering" insights ... but figured I'd toss it out... -

T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE ... ;-)
Why would there be anything interesting about comparing a T54PRO-ZE versus ... another ... T54PRO-ZE?!? Well ... it might provide some insights into unit variance ... albeit it's only two cameras. Plus when I had 'em mounted several feet apart (vertically), I thought I was some softness in the... -

Less sharpness in T54PRO-ZE (versus 5442-S3) possibly due to noise reduction being applied even if set to ZERO?
LOL that's awesome @tmxv4128 - be sure to send around a picture of your "Fantastic Four" - sorry I don't have such a collection of camera's! ;-) -

Less sharpness in T54PRO-ZE (versus 5442-S3) possibly due to noise reduction being applied even if set to ZERO?
So here's another good example of what I mean by the T54PRO-ZE applying some sort of Noise Reduction ... even though NR is ZERO. This was taken in the morning (you can see a bit of sun coming from the right) with the settings at 5 msec shutter (1/200s), ZERO Gain, 100 Iris, and ZERO 2D & 3D NR... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I just added a BOLD STICKY in the post above in case it wasn't clear what I was doing here. If you just look at the picture, it's certainly worth a OMG that is BAD, BAD, BAD ... but I intentionally screwed it up. NOTE: I INTENTIONALLY AND MANUALLY PUSHED THE FOCUS HERE. THE CAMERA WILL NOT... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yea, ideally would be at the same height ... but not easily done without drilling more holes in the side of the house. Here's a GIF showing the two images ... and yes, they don't line up exactly (especially in the vertical which would be especially impossible), but I think the horizontal FOV is... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
To followup on what I wrote above about the focus being different, here two snapshots (top picture from top camera) taken at the same time using the SAME focus setting (1732) at zoom=550. Since the camera's are within a few feet of each other (and the slant distance is less), clearly (or not so... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
So my 2nd T54PRO-ZE showed up late yesterday afternoon ... so FWI FWIW that here's a comparison if you are wondering about variance in manufacturing ... albeit just a data set of two. TL;DR is doesn't seem like much difference ... although the focus numbers weren't as close as I thought they...
