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

    Bummer about the fedex loss. I'm starting to wonder if there might be a global conspiracy to keep -ILs out of the hands of IPCT members? On the image quality I'm so far not noticing any difference from the .4 firmware that I previously had. I don't recall having criticized the -IL's image...

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

    The 5459-IL horribly flunked an unplanned human detection test today. Four times, I walked through the edge of the FOV, visible for 2 to 3 seconds. The S3 triggered all 4 times, and the IL missed them all. The applicable tripwire is in the same place on both cameras. This is with the new .6...

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    ^^^^^^^ My first reaction is that the video is hopefully AI generated. That said, my mischievous side has always wanted to take literally the signs that say "Drive thru window".

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

    With the new .6 firmware the -IL still lags behind the S3 for human identification. When I walk into the FOV, the S3 makes the human detection in one second or less, while the -IL makes the ID 3 to 4 seconds later. I can't compare directly with the old .4 firmware because I've only got one...

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

    After reading this I was surprised how fast the firmware updated into my 5459-IL. The 744 MB file took about 4 minutes, and the 129 MB file was a few seconds under a minute. What if a politician walks through? Will that be classified as a human or a snake?

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

    Even though animal detection is my priority, that doesn't mean I don't notice other things. For instance, the IL's human detection is not as good as the S3's. It occasionally totally misses a human that triggers the S3 almost instantly, and when it does detect, it's slower, sometimes up to a...

    An even more real-life example is wildfire evacuation. How about your car refusing to go when you get this warning? Level 3 - GO NOW! Leave immediately! There is extreme danger in the area. It is unsafe to stay and threatens the safety of you, your loved ones and emergency responders. Do not...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'm going to defend the stupid people for believing the lie. They're still stupid, however, for who they vote for. I got on to the lie by reading the legislation. Not too many people are going to do that. Heck, even the frauds in congress often don't read what they're voting on or know what...

    I had an '84 4000S FWD with the 4-banger. It was comfortable and easy to drive, and super reliable. It eventually went to one of my kids then the boneyeard after the wheels figuratively fell off. I've had a couple of newer Audis since. Nice cars when everything works, but they demand a...

    Alerts for any wildlife possible?

    OK. I'm not able to help and hope others do. I'm seeking the same information. When I set up BI a couple of years ago, I included CPAI, with high hopes for animal detection. The setup I had wasn't very stable, requiring a reboot every couple of days, and I walked away from it. Without the...

    Your Car May Soon Be Monitoring Everything You Do Behind The Wheel

    I'll agree with that one! Too many "features" that pretty much require you to take you eyes off the road to work them, and if you drive more than one car, the gadgets work differently in each one. Distraction monitoring could become very ironic. The computer-with-wheels is so darn complicated...

    Solar Wireless Bridge 2 camera recommendations

    The BMS in my LiFePO4 batteries will only let the charge level go down to 20%. I don't know if this is common or not. Additionally, the charging slows down a lot when the charge level goes over 90%. With my BMS, a 100Ah battery has a real life usable capacity of about 750Ah. What is a 100Ah...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    We all have our different biases. One of mine is that as when some post or analysis presents incorrect data or conclusions, either out of sloppiness or some hidden agenda, I don't trust anything about it. That's not saying everything about it is wrong, but to me it all becomes guilty until...

    It DOES say to fact check it. Looks like it's all baloney, not even close. Here's a source that says US is #20: https://www.slaycation.wtf/countries-with-the-highest-murder-rates/ Out of several sources I didn't find one that put the US even in the top 10. There does seems to me a...

    I want to mount Cable Glands Facing Upward - Yes? No?

    IMO it's taking a risk. Because I think this way I always have the cable entry going straight up. Either way I've found that it helps to put a thin layer of grease on the gasket surfaces and the cable jacket where it goes through the gasket. At these places doesn't matter if it's dielectric...

    I'm not going to continue this tit-for-tat. I concede the endurance contest. I'll just keep quietly pointing to the comparison thread every time it's stated to not exist. I specifically said you were testing animal detection only. And I said the everybody can judge the other aspects for...

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

    A few criticisms to respond to: -cropped digitally zoomed images - What the heck is wrong with that? Would you rather see the full frame with what you want to identify as 5% or less of the area? -default settings - Post #4 discloses some non-default daytime settings, and 0-4ms nighttime...

    How often do you move cameras?

    I can't think of ever moving a permanently installed camera, but before I choose a permanent place I set it up temporarily. An example would be the camera screwed to a board held to a fence with a clamp, fed by a temporary wire from an existing cam using a 2-port POE powered switch. From this...

    My PC is dead

    My first though is that this looks like a malware generated message. Could you boot up something other than windows to see if it runs? Or reinstall windows? Some linix distros can be booted from a memory stick without installation.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I am not putting down this study. I support it. It's just that it's being horribly misinterpreted, as in John Campbell's video title "Ivermectin and mebendazole, 84% benefit in cancer". I'm afraid that most people who see that will think that if they take the Ivermectin/Mbenendazole...
