Upgrade links go to Amazon Norton sales page?!
If you're worried it's malware install Malwarebytes then run that. You may find that your AV tries to block it's installation as some do now claiming conflicts. If you can't get it to install, download Malwarebytes Chameleon. I believe it's discontinued but it still works. This can be run and... -
Version 6
I haven't done it yet, but from the answer to my question above given above (thanks guys), do it from version 5 in the upgrade page. It should offer you version 6 in there. That then removes the need to follow most of those steps as the software will handle most it and should instruct you if...- CCTVCam

Lost everything
Try PM'ing Ken. There maybe a back door or super admin password or some way for him to remote into it, if you're lucky. I personally always keep an excel file of PW's albeit the file is not named passwords just in case. If worried about it getting stolen, password protect it. You could even...- CCTVCam

Version 6
Couple fo questions: 1. Now BI 6 is in the update screen in version 5, do you still need to uninstall version 5 or can you install version 6 from the update screen in version 5? 2. If you update to version 6 (either way) do you lose all your settings becasue BI is a pain to go through and...- CCTVCam

Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret
It doesn't matter how good the static part of the image is if the subject isn't clear. 70 gain is way too much for the 5442 which is why you'd never use it in full colour mode in that situation. The subject can be seen to be suffering from ghosting and visible noise in the 54 pro image both of... -
Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret
Looking at your photos in post #336, that looks a lot higher than 9 feet. Assuming the lower wall with the railings on is at least 6 feet, and looking at the side with the red gas bottle on it, it looks more like 10 feet, that position looks more like 20 feet. I usually mount about 6.5-7... -
Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret
The camera is also mounted too high. It's fine if an over view is your aim. However if you want facial shots, you want it around 7ft. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Probably unrealistic but I'd like to see that. A picture can never be too good. It can be too bad though. The better and clearer the image, the more chance there is of LE capturing the perp. We've had instances where I work of the Police refusing to take footage because they didn't think... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
If you set NR to zero it seems likely given the way AI-ISP is probably working that it's going to apply NR anyway as it can't perform it's improvements without, either that, or it's going to also set AI-NR to zero in which case you're going to get a completely unprocessed picture which has the... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Thanks BigRed. I found the blurb on Dahua's website although the larger pixel sensor seems to refer to Wizcolour PTZ's so I don't know if it is also used in the other Wizcolour cameras. or PTZ Unique. My interpretation of this is it sounds like, hardware improvement aside (there is mention... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Interesting. Looks like I may have been correct. I haven't read through this but Dahua have a page up about AI-SSA and it looks as if AI-SSA is simply using AI to adjust the picture parameters eg Brightness, Contrast etc looking at their sample images... -
Loosing my patience with BI, what have they done to it..
If you upgrade from within BI itself, it usually gives you the choice - stay on your current version, update to the latest stable version XXXXX build, or install the latest build version yyyy which may is beta and maybe unstable. So done from within BI, you should have the choice. Also on the... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
I'd like to see usable video stills at 1/6th second unless you're stood still, practically still or walking directly towards the camera slowly. Even at 8ms = 125th second, I found blur on footahe which is why I use 1/250th. As others have said, the whole purpose of a large sensor is to allow you... -
4k 1/1.2" CMOS sensor with IR
EmpireTech are rebranded Dahua. Yes you probably won't find another brand with 1/1.2" for less than $300. You tend to pay more for larger sensors - sensor & processor more expensive, larger lens, larger casing etc. If you want it to actually say Dahua on it, you'll have to pay more. Might be...- CCTVCam

4k 1/1.2" CMOS sensor with IR
The problem for you is the general idea behind 1/1.2" in secuirty cameras is they're sensitive enough not to require IR. You're other alternative if you must have 4k 1/1.2" would be to add some ambient light. I always recommend a dusk to dawn light with a motion activated floodlight for backup...- CCTVCam

2nd Amendment thread
This had so much promise: I think the issue was there were only really target pistols at an insane price (@$7k). I believe it was developed for Military use by an un-named EU army. There are multiple video out there including 1 showing it shooting THROUGH bullet proof glass. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I never get false activations on my motion sensor light. I always buy a light then a separate motion sensor as the sensors usually wear out / degrade in detection way before the lights need replacing. It's also gives you the freedom of choosing your sensor. This is what I'm currently using... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The Laws of Physics are not changing, they never change. What we're seeing in my opinion is most likely automated video editing that pushes the boundaries of adjustments such as contrast, brightness & colour etc far beyond the point at which artefacts are created, and which then uses AI to... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I think the digital noise is probably gain. As said before AI can't work wonders. It's most likely adjusting Brightness, Gain, and contrast to obtain a brighter image to a larger extent than a person would thus inducing noise, then post processing the induced noise out with Intelligence based... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
In fairness it's a step forward over the 5442, and worth buying if that was your consideration if the 4kt's limitations are off putting for you as a buyer. My point is not to rubbish it, but merely to say that AI has it's limitations and you still can't get around the limitations of sensor size... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Even that IR scene is aweful suggesting the IR LED's are weak in nature or the output isn't 100%. I'm afraid that just killed all hope for me and these cameras. As BigRedish said, most cameas can look good at night with a slow enough shutter / high enough gain. But that doesn't give a good... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I think what you're seeing here is the limitations of the AI. It's probably enhancing the lighting but at the expense of other areas, If you think about when you do manual video adjustment in an editor, there are adjustments you can do eg brightness, contrast etc. However, one you go past a... -
New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module
Doesn't .net in this instance use online models to process the images? I seem to remember I had it installed and it was timing out during internet glitches. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
AI will have an effect. It can be used to remove the jaggies and sharpen images including text. It can also be used to apply colour / light correction essentially output a raw file then apply a realtime adjustments. I'm not saying the latter is how it handles lighting, but it's certainly within... -
New CodeProject.AI Object Detection (YOLO11 .NET) Module
The problem with .net is it relies on the internet. Fine if your conenction is stable but if you suffer contention issues (slowing when it's busy times of day) or frequents drop outs or latency, relying on a connection based varient is very risky. Have you tried YOLO 11 with just an APU Mike? -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
There are sensors that can see. The problem is they don't seem available to the CCTV industry or available at the right price. The one camera we saw that could function in the dark very very well was @$10k once a lens, heater, casing, wipers etc were added. It had to go right up to a 35mm sensor... -

HDR reduces the dynamic range in the final picture on CCTV. It uses the ability to see a wider range of contrast to recover more detail and lighten dark areas to improve the picture. It's not the same as watching a HDR TV where HDR increases the amount of visible dynamic range to deepen dark areas. -

I'm guessing you like soft pictures. That looks perfect to me and exactly how sharp I'd like my pictures to be. The detail and sharpness are sublime. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
That looks truly aweful. Not only are the skull brothers out of focus but so is the scarecrow 1/2 way down the lawn and other items in dark areas. It looks as if the iris might be wide open causing a very shallow dof and the camera is strugling with the contrast. I see contrast issues with the... -
