    Ubiquiti released U6 Pro Bullet - with 1/1.2" 4K sensor

    Color only (no IR) cams were a thing in 2020-2022.. a stupid idea/decision that was quickly abandoned... All new cam models released in last 2 years, both by Dahua & HIK are hybrids (IR + white) or IR only but with possibility to run color mode at night (if external lighting is ok).. no one is...

    Ubiquiti released U6 Pro Bullet - with 1/1.2" 4K sensor

    8MPx 1/1.2" Starvis 1 sensor is NOT 'NIR enhanced' (term from Sony materials). So in comparison to all normal sensors for CCTV cameras it have very weak IR performance. I simplified this to 'can't see IR'. All camera manufacturers used this sensors only in 'white light only' cams..

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

    Changing format don't change resolution... this was done probably as some screen shot from web browser or SmartPSS working in different screen resolution and re-upscaled.. Please do proper snapshot from camera web interface (lub proper snapshot from original video footage done in video edit...

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

    Andy... it's not a original image.. put upscaled to 7992x4520 ... looks like some early AI upscaling algorithms...

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

    Andy - do you have original snapshots in full resolution (4Mpx) done by camera web interface? Those images are resized and I think (not 100% sure) there are resized from small resolution (so probably secondary stream).. very soft, lack of sharpness & details everywhere... no good...

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

    Andy - please don't fight for firmware "custom" versions with reported fixes. Only for fixing reported bugs and issues in the general Dahua firmware. Custom versions are good for a short period of time. Dahua can prepare a special firmware version with specific modifications for a large...

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

    there is upper limit of it.. defined in internal firmware settings... Older TIOC-PRO firmwares allowed for more... It's a pity that it can't be edited in manual settings.. My main problem with automatic modes (and the entire AI-SSA) is that Dahua should introduce a simple, three-position...

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

    OK - a very important comment for those testing their new 54PRO (and it also applies to the 34PRO/Color4M/TIOC-PRO)... These cameras have a dual system for "amplification" of brightness at night. The first, the classic gain, also called ISO, is an analog gain on the sensor itself. This analog...

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

    OMG.. this latest firmware looks very bad... gain control is going out of control..

    T54PRO-ZE versus T5442-S3 in low light

    there is a few video comparisons of 54PRO to 54IR on main thread.. but ok, as you want I reply here... you should do video comparison with some human movement of both cameras.. best on 1/50 (1/60) or 1/100 (1/120) and gain limited to 50-60.. With 1/10 you didn't even stressed any of the cams...

    T54PRO-ZE versus T5442-S3 in low light

    @alekk I have long list of comments but I propose that you repost this posts with pictures on main thread of 54PRO... Historically when any new camera was released and people did comparison to older models - always did on main thread on new camera model...

    Using POE NVR without providing power

    Many times I added second camera in place where I had only 1 CAT5 cable - by splitting 1,2,3,6 and 4,5,7,8 pairs into two separate plugs on both ends (always connected as 1,2,3,6).. Works like two separate CAT5 cables plugged to two separate POE switch ports - the only limitation is that...

    Using POE NVR without providing power

    there are 'POE power blockers' on the market.. or some stupid cheap ethernet switches.. cutting wires in CAT5 cable don't work - POE power can be sent over the same wires (1,2,3,6) as fast ethernet data..

    Using POE NVR without providing power

    depending of NVR and firmware generation, you can have or not specific options in camera registration -> POE menu..

    Using POE NVR without providing power

    And why you want to do it like this? You can disable POE power on switch or NVR on this port... Also if you provide power to camera using camera power-in cable, it should switch to it automatically (ignore POE)..

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

    why you want to resize? you should use native resolution... you can try also check if third stream (which can be resized) have the same problem?

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

    All WizColor / AI-ISP cams have TOTALLY different video workflow comparing to older Dahua cameras.. Many settings works very different... The same was on TIOC-PRO (34PRO)... You can try to enable full WDR (with values >= 50) - it reverse some (not all) original Dahua video processing - to test...

    PoE+ power issues on ~90m Cat6 run — need advice

    is the cable 23AWG? this is more important than cable is CAT5 or CAT6... You can try to use different switch, but POE++ will not solve any problem here (because camera will negotiate POE+ only).. Also POE+ and POE++ are using the same voltage... Both HIK & Dahua are offering own POE switches...

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

    3449 TIOC or 3449 TIOC-PRO? if TIOC-PRO (with 1/1.8" sensor), then there shouldn't be that difference.. TIOC-PRO have the same AI-ISP / always active HDR technology. Probably something was wrong configured..
