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

    Here's a GIF (with attached PNG's direct from the camera) showing the 0827 versus 1028 firmware. Not sure it's a very good comparison, especially with the "Skull Brothers" there ... but since they are so close to the camera's, the vertical offset is magnified! ;-) I really like the how the...

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

    Yes, the "dimpling" in the driveway is REAL ... ditto the "speckling" in the road. This is an area where the image processing of the T54PRO seems to "smear" it more than the 5442-S3 ... BUT ... I really need to do a comparison with the latest T54 firmware ... probably in a couple of weeks when...

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

    I asked a while back from upgrading from the 0827FW to 1022FW that there was a new item under Maintenance Center->System Info->Device Info called "Cloud Service Version" After applying the 1028FW, I went "looking around" at the various menu's and found out what this changed. Specifically under...

    Yea, I think it looks a bit HDR'ish because there's a LOT of dynamic range ... plus as I'm sure you know from photography @CamCrazy, sharpness is really tricky on foliage because it can "overprocess it" Image below is with the sharpness turned down from 75 to the (default) 50.

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

    So this morning, we have an image taken from a T54PRO-ZE using some brand-spanking new 1028 Firmware that @EMPIRETECANDY just sent me - thanks! The upgrade was seamless (had to do by file rather than by folder ... but just did one at a time and it reboots after each) and below are the version...

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

    Yea, I noticed that also @CamCrazy and was like WTF is going on?!? Sharpening is just about the LAST thing I do when processing images ... but maybe that's not the case here and when you enable sharpening, it reduce the noise reduction (even though I have this turned totally off) that is...

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

    To minimize shutter speed and gain ... and since this is a "scene" shot with the camera at fairly wide-angle (zoom 550 - about 85 degrees horizontal - testing data on that coming soon!) with the middle of the driveway being ~50' away, most everything should be (reasonably) within the...

    Just to toss out a few more pics, here's the PNG's from the "Twin T54's" running. The first set of three are with 0827FW (see lower left) and the others are 1022FW. Camera settings are identical with 5msec shutter, 100 iris, 0 gain, and 0 NR. The first image in each set (see the filename) is...

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

    Yea, the picture above with Sharpening=ZERO is with ZERO gain and ZERO NR. If I pull that into Photoshop, "Smart Sharpen" cleans it up quite a bit ... but I was pretty surprised how blurry that looked ... so that's why I wonder if that's the "raw" image (as much as you can get an unprocessed...

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

    I think part of what you are seeing in sharpness in those two areas (especially the fir tree on the right) is the slight difference in angle. When I first got the T54PRO-ZE, I had it mounted in the lower spot below the 5442-S3 ... and saw difference like that. But when I moved it to the higher...

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

    Here's a high Noon comparison of 0827 versus 1022 ... similar observations as before. At this point, I would be comfortable (and WANT!) to push FW1022 ... but I'll hold off for a bit longer in case anyone has any specific comparisons they'd like me to do.

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

    Here's some morning pictures comparing the 0827 and 1022 firmware. Settings are identical at 5msc shutter, 100 iris, 0 gain, ZERO NR, Auto WB. Note there is a little more "speckling/dimpling" in the street/driveway with the 1022 firmware (bit more smearing in the 0827) ... which is "good"...

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

    So here's the NIGHT comparison of Firmware 0827 & 1022 on the T54PRO-ZE at zoom level 550 - that scale goes from 0-2426. First, this is NOT A "FAIR" SITUATION for the camera ... since the settings are 80msec shutter, 100 iris, 65 gain, 50 3D NR, and 50 2DNR. So clearly the light level is waayyy...

    T54PRO-ZE wiring harness - lots of wires - believe 12V power OUT is new (and probably on other 2025 cams)

    To wrap up this thread, here's what I ended up doing with the T54PRO-ZE wire bundle. Basically the tape all of the "electrical" ends, and then tape the skinny wires together ... plus even the labels ... since all of that just gets "caught" when you are trying to wrap it up inside the wall mount...

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

    Nice spot! Yea, normally, I'd wedge some foam (with tape on the inside) to close that off (although it's not like there aren't opening from where the turret rotates) but since this is a temporary install, I just stuffed a torn-off-cloth in there. BTW, the PFB2203's DO have the plastic filler...

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

    Here's a first pictures from the "Twin T54's" (LOL that sounds like the name of a porn star! ;-) from mid-afternoon - the firmware version is in the lower left. This is pretty tough as quite a bit of dynamic range with the sun & shadows. The settings were 5msec shutter (1/200s), 100 iris, ZERO...

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

    So trying to compare the 0827FW versus 1022FW with the camera's located several feet apart was challenging, I went ahead and removed the 5442-S3 that I had mounted against the wall ... so once the T54PRO firmware has gelled, maybe I'll put the 5442-S3 back up and we can compare to that. The...

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

    I'm suggesting to @CamCrazy that if he hasn't tried it, see what happens with motion freeze (at "reasonable" 0-3msec shutter speeds) if he turns NR completely off. I.e. can we rule out that as a possible cause for his issue? It's a pretty simple test. Walk by the camera with the current...

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

    @CamCrazy : I wonder if maybe the difficulty you are having in freeze motion is related to my observation (which I didn't realize) that even if you have the 3D/2D NR levels set to zero, if you have it toggled, you are still getting some NR - as @steve1225's said "In case of WizColor cams - this...

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

    @EMPIRETECANDY : Minor suggested documentation update and/or change in setting behavior. So during my daytime tests, I have set the NR (Noise Reduction) to 0 ... AND ... toggled 3D NR OFF ... which seemed redundant since the level is to set to zero anyway. Turns out that doesn't appear to be...

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

    Now that you mention it @EMPIRETECANDY, there is a blue shift in the histogram - the 1022FW shifts to the left compared to 0827FW. Again, the scene is different (bummer I don't have 'em side-by-side anymore) ... so it's not directly comparable.

    Here 'ya go - PNG's straight from the web interface - had to resave as JPEG's because the 2nd PNG would upload, but not "take" ... for reasons unknown, that seems to happen sometimes - they are almost 10MBytes!

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

    For completeness, here's the Histograms for those two sets of images above. There's a noticeable right-shift in the (top) 1509 pics ... whereas the (lower) 1656 is much closer. I'm not sure this really tells 'ya much (except that the metering was brighter in the earlier 1509 which had more...

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

    Yes, ZE is vari-focal ... both set at zoom=550 (on a scale of 0 to ~2,500) ... but as noted before, the focus numbers are not that close ... about 1640 & 1740 ... so make a slight difference in FOV. And yes, it's an overview camera as shown. Here's a comparison a little more than an hour...

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

    Here's the first comparison image - note the firmware version is labeled in the lower left. So far, 1022FW seems to be running fine ... although I mostly look at image "stuff" in full color, so TBD on the AI/IVS/B&W/illuminator/etc. that other people are much smarter about than me. So if you...

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

    So I'm starting to look at this - picture below of the setup. Unfortunately, the two T54PRO-ZE's are no longer right next to each other ... so the FOV is slightly different.

    Thank you @EMPIRETECANDY for providing the software which I just applied and this updated the camera to "3.R, Build Date: 2025-10-22" ... so I guess we'll call it the "Andy 1022 FW" TL;DR is a routine update as all went fine and the camera is back-up and running and looks "normal" - will look...

    My "sacrificial" T54PRO-ZE is standing by to be upgraded ... Since I got it just a couple of days ago, is it still covered under warranty if your firmware bricks it?!? ;-)

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

    But please give us the capability to go manual ... not only if we need to for the scene ... but also for testing purposes so we can control the settings. Looking forward to the firmware Andy and I'll definitely give it a go on my camera's. Bonus points if you can provide some detailed release...
