Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Some points: 1. IVS are directional. They only react when crossed in a direction at 90 degrees to the direction of the lines. When you're drawing them you should see some arrows showing the direction in which they will react. On the back set here at the top, you can just see an up / down arrow... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Just put up a decorative lamp with a 400 lumen bulb on a dusk to dawn sensor like I did. It only needs an LED of around 5-6w so wan't cost much to run. That way you never have total darkness. It also means if for any reason the iVS trips don't get tripped, the background recording will record... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
100%. I'm running a 4kt with a 1/1.2" sensor. Even then I need to add a 400 lumen supplemental dawn to dusk light to allow me to run 4ms at night. As it happens, when triggered I'm probably going to always get an excellent picture at 4ms because I also have a 1500 lumen motion triggered... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
With trip wires (IVS) you should get virtually no false alrms. I've had about 2 in 3 years, both caused by sun shadows. Note there's an art to drawing trip wires, you need to note the direction of trigger, the anchor points as sometimes they look anchored but there's room for objects to pass... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Along way from being blur free. Too much gain, too slow a shutter: The front kid has become a ghost (classic gain effect). The back two are trailing. You're not identifying anyone from them: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Sometimes it depends on the angle and distance to the camera, Moving left to right as opposed to straight at or away, also results in more relative movement. When I had my issue with blur I had 6ms set which should have been plenty, but when I was close up one night, when I reviewed the... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The 4KT is on a larger sensor 1/1.2" vs 1/1.8". That's why it can get away with being 8mp and still deliver a better night time image. It doesn't come down to pixel count alone but pixel size when it comes to delivering good pictures in low light and putting more pixels on the same sensor size... -
Ubiquiti released U6 Pro Bullet - with 1/1.2" 4K sensor
Although the camera doesn't appear to challenge the 4kt directly, I think what this illustrates is there's really a need maybe for Dahua to produce a large sensor low light camera, maybe a 4kt replacement but without the drawbacks of the previous camera. That probably means more memory, faster...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I agree 100%. If it was gain that was the main problem, all dark areas would visibly have grain and light areas as well if it was really high. However, the picture looks very grain free. Whilst a slightly high gain setting here can't be ruled out due to the appearance of his face / clothing... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
You need a much faster shutter as well. Lots of motion blur. I never use below 6ms & prefer 4ms with light present. That may also assist with the washing out close to the cam as it will lower the brightness, but not the under exposure further away that may beomce darker than you'd prefer. I was... -
Small Business Camera Recommendations
No offence but he should heed Looney's advice & ignore those. Domes suffer from internal reflections & the polycarb goes opaque over time from UV light causing an ever more degraded image. Turrets or Bullets are best outdoors because they usually use flat glass lenses that suffer neither from...- CCTVCam

Video stream Bit Rate vs Image Bit Rate Reference Bit Rate and Custom Bit Rate
Adding to what BigRedFish has said on letting the camera handle the compression, as a general principle, compressing footage a 2nd time should always be avoided. -
Video stream Bit Rate vs Image Bit Rate Reference Bit Rate and Custom Bit Rate
Not an expert and don't know about extensive knowledge but I'll tell you the basics. The camera's video stream from the sensor is RAW ie it contains all the data representing the picture. The camera processor then compresses the video to write to storage. This is because RAW files are huge and... -
Britain is Lost
Violence and threats happen a lot now. You've seen the famous Charlie Vietch video where Fred his bodyguard slap & kicks the person allegedly with a knife who demands the erasure of the video. What you won't have seen from that clip posted previously is the build up, the same person in the mask... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
You can do it manually without the cameras. Get a largish piece of scrap card ie A3 ideal, and a maths protractor. Draw baseline at near and parallel to widest edge (straight line) and put a dot on it in the centre in felt pen. This is the spot you're going to put the protractor on. Put the... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Andy produces his own custom firmware based on Dahuas. Often it has less bugs, extra functionality. Wow that's a big boy. Just like watching porno. Lets hope the picture it produces is just as good. PS don't the missus anywhere near it! BTW a couple of quick sensible questions, how much is... -
【Review】IMX482 1/1.2" 5.8um Camera, King of The Ultra Low Light Camera World?
Yeah that's the kind of sensor I would think they used. Surely now Sony no longer produces these (MkII) for their cameras, they have the fab equipment used to produce these dies lying unused, there's no chance of these competing with their DSLR lineup as they've moved on by several generations...- CCTVCam

【Review】IMX482 1/1.2" 5.8um Camera, King of The Ultra Low Light Camera World?
As someone aslo interest in seeing better sensors used in CCTV, the best low light camera I've seen was produced by Sony some years ago. Someone had one on here, although after the initial posts, I don't think anything more was really posted. The issue was the cost. I believe from memory it was...- CCTVCam

Stupid people deserve their own thread....
I actually agree, not that it's intentional suicide, but wiht people who take drugs. I've never understood why people try to shut out their problems with drugs or alcohol. But in the case of drugs, why would you take some crystals or powder in a clear baggy not having a clue what it really is... -
EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser
Are you absolutely sure and how long have you tested them for? What tends to happen with browsers other than IE, is they all "work". It's just after you save changes and come back a couple of weeks later, you can find the changes haven't been implemented / reverted despite a confirmation on exit... -

Aren't they one of the manufacturers moving away from a locked in eco system? -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
We're kind of splitting hairs with terminology as I'm sure you understood what I meant as per your comments below. :) There is only 1 cable, poe ethernet cable that carries data and power. To be 100% clear, yes I'm talking about the data standard that sends the data over the ethernet cable not... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I didn't say release feature source code nor code of others feature solutions. What I said was release the code used to decode the signals sent over poe to the recording equipment. That is almost certainly client side code and probably only a codec at the end of the day. As it's almost certain... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes and entirely possible. A large company I know uses it's enthusiast community to debug it's software and rewards them with free licenses / it's hardware products. It worked extremely well and you don't need code experts only a community as rather than looking in the code for bugs, all... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Exactly this. Dahua has it's own solution. It could make it freely avalaible as an open standard to others. It's choosing not to but instead to lock it's features to it's own equipment. Dahua's features are almost certainly camera side and hardware / firmware implementated, so it's likely only... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
It's is Dahua's decision. They can't make ONVIF change their standard. They can however, release their NVR / Software side interface as a new open standard for everyone to use to make their camera features potentially available to all brands of NVR / software. By making their interface the new... -
Trying SSD on BI
The problem with flash memory of any type is the finite number of writes which are much lower than for HDD's. The associated issue is I believe there's been a trend with memory cards at least in recent years to move away from SLC the most durable type of NAND to other less durable types such as... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Maybe ONIV is having some issues with feature implementation, I don't know. But Dahua no doubt has the ability to develop an open source non locked alternative or simply to open up their API protocol. Provided the data is transmitted over poe and provided they allow other software / NVR... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I can't help but feel Dahua are shooting themsleves in the foot here. For sure, their reason is probably they're wanting to bring everything in house and give people a reason to buy their systems. However, there must be hundreds of thosuands if not millions of users worldwide who don't want an...
