    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I can see reasons for the desire to get on the marketing train for AI, etc. If a company has the technologies and abilities to bring a sound product to market, then why not? If this is not the case, why risk sullying your brand by producing a lesser product than previous offerings? Can't wait to...

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

    My first experience with Dahua and higher level cameras has been eye opening for me so far. I'm chomping on my popcorn, waiting to see what they do about these cams. I really want them to work well and haven't given up hope. Tick-tock, time will tell. :)

    You know, I had a thought a while ago about these new releases. Maybe they were intended to be Halloween Edition cams, each with their own Ghost In The Machine. ;)

    Camera Lens Covers

    Just spit balling here - Try doing a search for "security camera housing" and see if that is an option for you. Have transparent polycarbonate or acylic sheet cut to cover the lens areas. If the actual lenses sit behind a transparent protective surface, you could try a product called...

    My T54PRO-ZE has false vehicle triggers sometimes an at least 99% of the time it is caused by a passing white pick up truck. :idk:

    Kinda comparing apples to oranges unless we can override the PROs processing, no? Of course the processing wouldn't be an issue if it were providing superior (or at least equal quality) results.

    I'm curious to know, is the latest official Dahua FW worth the trouble of updating? I am on the original July version.

    Or do a search for "corner camera housing". Find one or have one made and put whichever camera you like inside.

    Based mostly on the testing I have followed here, I agree. This is my worst-case scenario and I hope I am wrong.

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

    I am still really hoping things are correctable with FW updates but we will see. In the meantime I remain in a holding pattern regarding my purchase and installation plans. I may ask Andy for the 10/28 update while I wait, just to get a feel for the difference.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Considering your climate, would it be worthwhile to create a light silicone seal around all body, electrical and any other gaps leading to the inside of the cameras? It could be removed when needed.

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

    There is a reason for the movie industry spending lots of time and money on lighting equipment and people to haul it around, along with the generators and cables to run them for the past 100 years. Natural light, electric or reflectors, there has to be enough light to capture images. And much...

    Yes, delete original line and create a new one. This works for me. My problem is that I can't reliably end a line when I want. I haven't been able to create and end a line in Global yet. (MacOS)

    Thanks. I think it all looks great under all of those lighting conditions. My thanks also to your thoughtful neighbor for the "walk-on" performance to give a little action to the scene.
