    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    You always can try to add more light or IR to make G6 pro image quality acceptable at night time. The only problem is that with added illumination, Dahua cameras going to look even better :)

    Are you seeing any ghosting after all those changes?

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    So, can you tell us exactly how you made g6 pro to produce better night videos of moving objects? Have you added any aditional lights? And how to add that diagnostic info the the video?

    Unable to modify camera IP

    I think that only works because you are using unmanaged switch. But OP is using "Unify PoE switch".

    Unable to modify camera IP

    I think one important step is missing in this overview, the camera has to be directly connected to the PC. So, it has to be powered by 12v adapter or through a POE injector. The other approach, that I'm using, is to have a special 192.168.1.0/24 VLAN with a POE switch port configured for that...

    But the camera is not connected directly to the PC, but through the managed switch.

    is your camera network 192.168.1.* or something else ?

    I have a situation that I would like any of you network gurus to consider

    The 200ft cable could be partially damaged somewhere, it might have enough power/network/whatever for an old camera but not for the 54IR.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Oh, yeah, G6 Pro is absolutely fanatastic at full day light conditions. But when light level drops lower than some threshold (cloudy winter day for example) its performace starts to fall behind latest Dahua cameras. At least that's how it worked for me last winter :)...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Oh, wow, G6 Pro defintely shows some improvements. Although for real comparison it would be better to put both of them as close as possible to each other. Also, self-adaptive mode is not the best way to configure T54IR, especially at night time.

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

    You forgot: no POE, solar power only!

    It looks like better ONVIF support is coming to UniFi Protect

    Ideally, it would be nice to have full support for ONVIF Profile M, including processing of bounding box of detected objects from stream metadata.

    well, I said "trying" :) It would be naive to expect that latest Protect version can fix the camera problems :(

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    OTOH, this is also their weakness, regular people are not going to spend time tweaking those controls. To me, it looks like both, Dahua and Ubuquiti are trying to use "AI" to automate those tweaks and both are failing doing this, so far... I hope someday, someone going to figure it out... but...

    It's about using AI for coding, in many cases results are similar to using AI to improve camera image quaility :p

    Wait for some spiders hanging in front of the camera :)

    PSA: Ubiquiti Network compromised again | Critical UniFi OS bug lets hackers gain root without authentication

    Not exactly , it's mainly about Direct Remote Connection (what is basically port forwarding to console WebUI :facepalm:), but disabling Remote Access completely is not a bad idea. Only VPN, preferably Wireguard or some Wireguard based Unifi tools such as teleport or site magic.

    The exploits only work if you allow access to your console from outside world. NEVER DO THAT!

    But what are we going to buy when Andy runs out of T54IR's ???

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    The problem is: "normal" people are buying this crap because all they care is number of megapixels and good looking static images, preferably in color. They don't think about ID of moving objects... or, rather they don't want to think about ID and stuff like that(NR, gain, shutter speed)...
  23. M

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Well, the ghosting you are seeing is the direct result of heavy 3D NR... and they have to use it to improve quality of static image. It's not just about amount of light, but also about amount of noise. It looks like the sensor is pretty noisy in low light/IR conditions, so they have to...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    With a faster shutter speed, the sensor will receive even less light, resulting in a much darker image. As you can see even in your video, the sensor struggles with moving objects; the static background only looks decent because of the heavy use of 3D NR. From what I understand, the G6 Pro uses...

    Yeah, go ahead and buy Ubiquiti like Arjun suggested.

    The only problem is that their cameras, even top of the line, is just garbage, comparing to Dahua https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/a-healthy-competitor-g6-pro-turret.84296/

    T54PRO is a new camera, it's not as good as 5442-S3, but still much better than anything else what is not EOL-ed.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    But it's definetly much worse than T54PRO at this moment... and I don't think G6 Pro ever going to work better. Its sensor is even worse than T54PRO at low light conditions.
