    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    My T54PRO-ZE has false vehicle triggers sometimes an at least 99% of the time it is caused by a passing white pick up truck. :idk:

    Kinda comparing apples to oranges unless we can override the PROs processing, no? Of course the processing wouldn't be an issue if it were providing superior (or at least equal quality) results.

    I'm curious to know, is the latest official Dahua FW worth the trouble of updating? I am on the original July version.

    Sorry for the multi-posts. I didn't know because an error message popped up each time so I tried again. edit: I deleted the duplicate and related messages that I posted to clean up the unintended mess.

    Based mostly on the testing I have followed here, I agree. This is my worst-case scenario and I hope I am wrong.

    I am still really hoping things are correctable with FW updates but we will see. In the meantime I remain in a holding pattern regarding my purchase and installation plans. I may ask Andy for the 10/28 update while I wait, just to get a feel for the difference.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Considering your climate, would it be worthwhile to create a light silicone seal around all body, electrical and any other gaps leading to the inside of the cameras? It could be removed when needed.

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

    There is a reason for the movie industry spending lots of time and money on lighting equipment and people to haul it around, along with the generators and cables to run them for the past 100 years. Natural light, electric or reflectors, there has to be enough light to capture images. And much...

    Yes, delete original line and create a new one. This works for me. My problem is that I can't reliably end a line when I want. I haven't been able to create and end a line in Global yet. (MacOS)

    Thanks. I think it all looks great under all of those lighting conditions. My thanks also to your thoughtful neighbor for the "walk-on" performance to give a little action to the scene.

    No worries. I get that the background lighting is more of a byproduct of the cams in your setup. What I really want to see is how well a T54PRO does with one of your gators in the dark.:lol: edit: added original quote

    Ah, I wondered about the lighting in the background. Thanks. I'm running the DI10 illuminator. I may try a larger one but I'll wait until the firmware improvements are a bit more settled.

    Would a bright external IR illuminator increase the settings possibilities of the 54PRO? Just curious. I know this is not the fix we are after here.
