    Question whether the dahua camera/NVR combination works for "AI by recorder" and good "night vision"?

    Heh.. You really tries to outsmart people who installed hundreds of cams :) 5xx9 are Full Color camera line (like Yours 5449-A180 cam), they don't have/see IR, almost all are only fix lenses, have big problems with not sharp image due big sensor and fully open F1.0 aperture (check Bokeh -...

    Question whether the dahua camera/NVR combination works for "AI by recorder" and good "night vision"?

    You selected half meter long big metal 'monstrosity' which will be very visible to anyone. And very 'pointy' (because it's big bullet). if you want to have not so visible cams, use small ones.. most popular cams for home market are cams in turret (aka eyeball) housing. they are small ball with...

    Question whether the dahua camera/NVR combination works for "AI by recorder" and good "night vision"?

    this camera in official Dahua distribution in EU costs about 4K Euro.. I don't think there is anybody here who had ability to play with it.. Yes the spec looks very good. It even supports AI on all channels (with some limitations like Video Meta Data only on one).. Please remember this camera...

    Pros v Cons for updating USA spec N98A6N with NVR608H-64-XI latest firmware. (if even possible?)

    there are many other 2024 and 2023 5xxx-EI features missing on 608-XI firmware... like animal support, IVS learning database, ability to change camera sorting (move 5th camera to be a first one), new UI and many more... all those features were released as part of AcuPick 1.0 and then AcuPick...

    Pros v Cons for updating USA spec N98A6N with NVR608H-64-XI latest firmware. (if even possible?)

    I didn't update - so I will ask: what was the problem with 608 on Jan 2025 firmware?

    have dahua NVR, can you run second monitor 30m away?

    Dahua AI NVR algorithm updates?

    only single file, they have AI update inside... only 5xxx-S2 and 7xxx-X have 2 stage firmware update system (2 separate file update) due AcuPick, which were added after both camera were released and original firmware on those cams couldn't accept new firmware with much more extended AI...

    What is difference between these two cameras? Dahua

    DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ZE-LED old days were better ?

    no... TIOC-PRO have only fixed lenses... for varifocals - only good old 5442 & 7442... -ZE and -Z4E variants.. 5449-ZE is not sharp, I don't know is this problem in my camera or simply this is problem for all line (F1.0 constant varifocal aperture in 5449-ZE - I never saw any camera lenses with...

    DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ZE-LED old days were better ?

    3449 TIOC-PRO beats both 5442 & 5449.. 5449 in theory is better that 5442, but my 5449-ZE-S2 is not sharp as 5442 or 3449 TIOC-PRO and have older Full Color image video processing..

    DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ZE-LED old days were better ?

    I have exactly this model.. and I must say that 3449 TIOC-PRO (IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-PRO) which I have next to 5449 have better night color image quality.. it's much sharper and give brighter image with much more colourful image.. ps. yes 5449 (F1.0) is little brighter that 5442 (F1.6) at night...

    Dahua White LED turns on when motion detected?

    2449-PRO is very basic plastic model with very limited feature set.. white light can't be activated by motion - this feature is limited for TIOC line... look at 3449 TIOC-PRO - it have this feature, white light activation for people or/and cars..

    Even if Dahua will start to offer cloud storage as subscription, nothing will change for us.. All classic access (Dahua private protocol, RTSP, ONVIF, NVRs, DMSS, SmartPSS) will stay as they are now.. The big problem is that all camera & NVRs products + remote software from both Dahua & HIK...

    Nothing from that... all old camera & NVR web interfaces (and limitations, like plugin bullshit) stays as it is now... all very bad DMSS/SmartPSS interface / capabilities / implementation stays as it is now.. all problems & limitations about cloud & remote connectivity stays as it is now.. all...

    Long stream of big words and marketing bullshit.. Nothing specific or significant.. DoLynk care is a thing from 2-3 years now.. It's mobile app (and website) for installers. To get full access You must be validated as installer or integrator by Dahua. In my country You do this by going to any...

    T54IR-ZE-S3 FW update issue

    T54IR-ZE-S3 FW update issue

    normally in Dahua there are only one firmware file to upgrade - which contains firmware + baseline + AI algorithms in one file... other files are for camera recovery over RS232 / TFTP... but on 5xxx-S3 and 7xxx-X cameras Dahua added a few more AI algorithm in camera life cycle.. And original...

    Dahua NVR constantly sending large amounts of data to their servers?

    I must say that changes which Dahua did in last years about DMSS / NVR / cloud integration went in very wrong way... DMSS lost possibility to display events (and snapshots) from NVrs which are not subscribed / reported to cloud / notified to mobiles... Not every one want to be informed by...

    Dahua NVR constantly sending large amounts of data to their servers?

    No, they don't... In latest NVRs firmwares they send massive amount of data to Dahua (probably) servers over HTTPs... I have many NVRs on LTE/5G connections where NVR eats all mobile transfer monthly quota in first days of the month. From my debugging it looks now that any event (SMD, IVS...

    Pros v Cons for updating USA spec N98A6N with NVR608H-64-XI latest firmware. (if even possible?)

    There is no new features in firmware upgrades in latest 18 months for 608-XI... only security / protocol / baseline fixes.. Dahua forgot about this line of NVR..

    Question whether the dahua camera/NVR combination works for "AI by recorder" and good "night vision"?

    Very strange setup - only 3 cams (from lower line) and very high NVR. For better Video Meta Data support You should look at 5442 cams which can do mini VMD + AcuPick + IVS on camera at once.. Much more options (especially lens options with varifocal / optical zoom).. Yes 3449 TIOC-PRO works...

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    the main rule on both Dahua and HIK cams / NVR... if camera have some AI function (Smart Motion Detection, IVS with human & cars filtering etc) then You don't need NVR with AI functions.. All AI is done on camera and NVR only stores video footage & events & marks on HDDs... AI enabled NVR's...
