    Dahua keeps dropping Frames Per SEcond (FPS) to around 5 - 6 even though it's programmed to do 25.

    without some night video footage showing the problem with 6fps and some visible vehicle/human movement on it (to see what exposure time was used by camera and what light/IR situation was on scene) - it's hard to help you... you can try update firmware to latest one, try to downgrade encoder to...

    Dahua keeps dropping Frames Per SEcond (FPS) to around 5 - 6 even though it's programmed to do 25.

    show Your camera image/video settings.. especially exposure settings... if the exposure is too long (like 1/6s) at night then you will get only 6 frames per second... Also what are IR settings.. if there is too low IR, then exposure will be slow.. it's dark PTZ camera with small sensor...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    Problem with Dahua is that, they don't see Ubiquity as a competition.. They see HIK Vision as competition - so everything HIK is doing Dahua is copying and vice versa.. Also they more and more entering other industries like monitors or profesional big event LED displays or even drones (Yes they...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I was hoping that new Dahua 7 series will use new 1/1.2" sensor from OmniVision (or Sony Starvis 2) to differentiate from 5 series.. I wrote about this 2-3 times on this forum.. But this never materialized... answer is of course money - bigger sensors costs more, require bigger/better/pricey...

    for 99% it contains new OmniVision OS08B10... similar to normal G6, where someone here confirmed they used OmniVision sensor there.. https://www.ovt.com/products/os08b10/

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    just must remember that those sensors and all quad bayer sensors for mobiles - are sensors which ARE NOT NIR enhanced.. so they are very bad for IR. you can do full color cam on it, but nor IR cam.. like situation with Sony Starvis 1/1.2" sensor used in Color4K (Dahua 5849). It is used only in...

    URGENT!!! There will be new DMSS 2.0 and new cloud account mode & new cloud video streaming

    in both cases (classic P2P and new P2P with cloud logging) cams / NVRs sended a lot of data to the Dahua cloud. I did many times in previous years traffic analysis from/to NVR at network level - it's not that old P2P didn't used cloud.. Yes it used it, and periodically sent encrypted data to...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    CCTV cameras are a very low-cost product. This is partly due to the OEM <> distributors <> installers <> end-user model. Dahua China, for example, sells the 5442-s3 (which is costly profesional model) for around $100, and Andy's store sells them for around $200, while in the standard Dahua...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    Yes 2.8mm In case of cctv cams this is only marketing virtual specification, which means wide zoom (105-110 degree horizontal). Used for comparison between models. In reality focus length is different. And very depended of sensor size.

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

    yes.. it's PTRZ functionality... HIK have the same limit... in normal PTZ cams you have separate strong motors for each axis - X, Y, Z (zoom) and F (focus).. they are designed to work 24/7 for years.. in PTRZ cams you have shared small motors - like in varifocal cams where Z (zoom) and F...

    Dahua HDBW5442EP-ZES3 vs HDBW5459E1PZHE-IL

    stay with 5442-S3.. at night it will switch to IR and will work.. 5459 is a hybrid camera - can work both in color mode (with white light) and IR mode. But it has worse image quality at night in comparison to 5442-S3.. there is a long thread...
