    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    That's my dilemma. I have to get a bunch of cameras. The 2 I have are just for testing before I buy a bunch to install at my work. I was hoping to get one brand of these. I have all Dahua there now. I haven't experienced the breaking of alarm manager yet, but I've only gone through one update on...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I took the images at that distance to see where the T54IR started falling off. Past that point, the subject becomes less identifiable on both cameras, but the T54IR fails to identify first. If I optically zoom in, the FOV decreases, so the area I'm able to identify people in shrinks. This is...

    Not varifocal, which is what I need for multiple locations.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    At that distance, there is a noticeable difference. The further the distance, the more noticeable it becomes.

    Yes. At the longer distances, the G6 Pro had better identification capabilities.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Below was their response after the last changes were made. I won't return it because I do like the better daytime identification distance. But, I am not happy with the nighttime performance. I am still searching for a camera that can equal the daytime performance of the G6 Pro and the nighttime...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Not up close, but like @Arjun said, there is some the further out you go. I'm going to be making some changes like I said in one of the posts above to try enhanced bitrate zones and the masking of zones to where it doesn't overexpose other areas.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I noticed the most difference when I zoomed in to where the bush directly below it was not in the image. I believe it was overexposing the scene. I moved the FPS to 30. I also have it set to frame clarity mode. I bumped the video compression to custom and moved it as far up as possible. The...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I did some digging to interpret what the debug data at the top of the images mean. This is what I found: HQ: Indicates that the camera is currently using its High Quality stream profile E: Stands for Enhanced Video Encoding CS:[32-16000-16000]:00: Represents the Camera-to-Server connection...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    The only reason I bought the two for comparing, is I want the best combo for usability and image quality. The price is just a range I'm comfortable with spending up to. I don't want to go to the extreme ranges of some systems, even though those may be better quality and more user friendly. I'm...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    There was some. I moved the camera out towards the edge of the eave, and zoomed in to not catch so much of the plant on the ground below it. The night moving images have been much better since then.

    WDR set to 25 (I'm hesitant to leave it there on sunny days). Gamma set to 45

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I have a dark side of the house when the sun is out. I just dropped the WDR to 30 on the T54IR and got these images.

    I have it on Standard. Vivid looked oversaturated.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I'm going to keep working on it. I did make those changes, and will see how it looks tonight. I do tend to prefer the daytime performance of the G6 Pro.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    This is doing auto shutter. It looks like it just sets a floor to not go slower than 1/120. It's showing really fast shutter times during the day.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    It looks like that's the lowest shutter it is going down to at night. During the day, even set to Frame Clarity, I am seeing shutter speeds vary from 1/120 in the early morning light to 1/1000 or 1/2000 or even 1/4000 throughout the day. I'm going to keep it on Frame Clarity and mess more with...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Auto frame rate does 1/30 at night. Frame Clarity setting puts it at 1/120. As you know, there's no settings besides 3 choices. It's not granular. But, if you enable the settings readout to show on the video, it shows what the frame rate is being used. I'd love to be able to move it more. But, I...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    There was one firmware update to 5.3.94. I have 2 other IR cameras lighting the area, but all but the first test or two have had those on this entire time. I did zoom the camera in more due to reflections off the eaves and a bush right below it and walls directly adjacent. I think that may have...

    Ubiquiti network equipment has worked great for me over the years. I have a ton of their stuff. That's the whole reason I even considered their cameras. What may make sense for me is having their cameras set for overview areas, and then Dahua for detail areas. That way, I get the fast, easy to...

    Like this stuff. I'm just tired of dealing with it. I do want the easy button at this point.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I'm just tired of fighting with the Dahua stuff. Use this browser for this, plugin for this, this app on this phone for some things, this app for that. I've had 20 something cameras for these last 11 years that I search through for things like, "we had a customer pick up something last Wednesday...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    This is a N54B3P12 on the latest firmware available to it. Maybe that one doesn't have export capabilities. I've tried the browsers, and I usually just use Pale Moon.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    So, I added in the T54IR into my Dahua NVR, and I do get the VMD for it now. But, I don't see the option to Export from there like you show. I also don't see a way to see ALL VMD thumbnails for ALL cameras in one screen. It looks like you have to jump in and out of different screens for...

    My cameras are older Dahuas that I'm looking to replace. They only have Smart Plan options for Face Detect and IVS. There is no VMD on these older cameras that I can find.

    Mine looks to only be capable of IVS.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    My setup must not have that capability.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I'm guessing that's dependent on camera?
