Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The IR from my testing is OK but nothing special, my 49225 PTZ's will still run circles round them at short to medium range, but that is not uncommon, my 5442 series bullets have the best IR. The 4K-T would no doubt beat the Pro in a straight night battle, with that scene. I have two overlapping... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
This is the truth, so dark here lately, good for camera testing at the extremes though, so there is that! -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
100% on all points, I feel like there is a good sensor locked away in there, so far with no way of escaping! Grain seems to be a thing with these 54Pro's, which I do not mind if the detail is there. All IP cams should be setup from the factory to capture at least human motion, both day and... -
OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras
Second question for today! I used to run the overlay text display on my 49225 PTZ without issues, should this also work on a IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 bullet, appears not to be at the moment after I enable 'custom title' on said camera. Guessing maybe a different setup on the newer cameras, or possibly... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Join the club :wow: :thumb: My testing is now limited to new firmware releases, I have seen plenty of this camera to last me a very long time otherwise! -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Well that is an easy win for the 54Pro side by side no doubt, does this give us some hope for the B&W and night colour? -
OpenALPR Webhook Processor for IP Cameras
Oh boy, looks like we have an upgrade!! is this a seamless process, I am still on version 5.3.0 -
DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...
Thanks for the information. I am still on version 5.8.8.8 since I found it stable at the time, maybe I should try a newer release, see how it goes. More cameras on the camper o_O there is no stopping this guy :lol::thumb: amazing. Tailscale VPN does sound interesting, I'm guessing when you say a...- CamCrazy

OMG Thermal!
Yes, 7.5 to 13mm is not an ideal range, I suspect these would get mounted 16 feet up on the roofline looking down and out but even then still quite a narrow field of view. I guess the old for £100 vs £300 for the latest model was and is tempting. Some more research required I guess. -
DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...
Oh my god, sorry, I am shocked, always thought if someone on here said they had 25 or maybe even 30 cameras I would not be that shocked. But 64 and now 75, no way, I feel almost average with just 12 active, no doubt this number will grow to 16+ now the thermal box has been ticked! Amazing...- CamCrazy

OMG Thermal!
Indeed, I think shall probably pickup a 13mm and a 7.5mm, see how they work out for me, for an average of £120 each they can't be bad. Maybe make more sense to get the DH-TPC-BF5421-T in 13mm, assuming it is the newer and better camera, when compared to the BF2221-HTM I have a couple of spots... -
DH-TPC-BF5421-T Thermal camera captures wild hogs...
Sorry, did you say 64 cameras :wow: wow, that is quite a serious number!! just been looking at some 'cheap' new boxed 13mm versions hence how I got here.- CamCrazy

OMG Thermal!
Ah well, only those two I can find which I guess would work for sampling thermal imaging, they are in the £120-150 range on ebay. Can probably work with 13mm but 7.5mm or wider would be more ideal. -
OMG Thermal!
Ok, I can only find the DH-TPC-BF5421-T which is 13mm available for good deal, also plenty of DH-TPC BF2221-HTM 7.5mm models for slightly more money. Guess this is about the only option unless going with new 4mp model. I could live with 13mm for some testing, how do you find these? I have got... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
We can only hope for some good things to come from the firmware, otherwise mine will be relegated to non critical areas that are short range. Disappointed with these (ZE variant) at the moment as you can probably tell, especially having poured hours into testing and setup. I have two installed... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes indeed, worth mentioning again, very easy to see the difference this makes. The oddities continue... :lmao: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Well said no doubt. I have certainly never experienced another like this, lets face it, if we can't tune this thing then what chance does a 'normal' consumer have! Frankly if they don't do something drastic with the firmware to pull this thing around, then it won't end very well. My frustration... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Genuine question, highlighted by these newer cameras (maybe), is there really any advantage from having NR turned on. Other than it looking 'nicer' on the live feed, is it potentially better to set it off or very low, then tune the gain and shutter to suit. If you have it on then motion and... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Indeed, I would take that along with many others no doubt. It might be OK once they 'perfect' it but until that time, best to leave it as an option. Ship them out with best settings for capturing the bad guys. -
OMG Thermal!
Sometimes the need is perceived as the want. You could always suggest the Touring, just explain you decided to settle for the basic model without the wing :cool::p -
OMG Thermal!
:wtf: Seems like I am way behind the curve at the moment! Critters of all kinds it would seem, I mean you realise the power of thermal imaging when you see helicopters using them. More money then, more cameras then, just another day then! :facepalm: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
OK, I was just reviewing some colour footage, typical vehicle entering the scene from the left and exiting right, the first frame as the front appears is very nice, we will call it S3 like quality, actually surprisingly good! The second the camera brain detects motion and literally it falls... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
What shutter speed are most running on these in medium to poor lighting? I've been on 2 or 3ms but on closer inspection think I need to drop it lower, like below 1.5ms. I am relatively new to the 4K and of course the 54Pro, seems they all like to be running at much faster shutter speeds than the... -
OMG Thermal!
Is it compulsory to own one of these thermal cameras now :wow::clap: ... it would be useful for critter spotting, so surely a worthwhile investment. Wonder if Dahua/Andy will be selling a selection box for Christmas :facepalm::lol: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
No need to apologise, I am in the same boat, feedback is good with and without video/images. You can always crop some still/freeze frames from the video, that sometimes works around the privacy issue. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Some new firmware must be close surely @EMPIRETECANDY - keep banging on the door at Dahua, tell them the testing team here are getting short of work... :thumb: -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Nothing wrong with zip ties :rofl: :lmao: and as per @alekk above I would also like to see that comparison, have a reasonable idea of the outcome but... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Agreed on all points, I am hoping if Dahua can reduce the 'auto' features then maybe night will improve. My concern is the sensor could be the limiting factor here in which case we will be out of luck. If these could match the S3 at night then they would be a big win, my 54ProZE still surprises... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I know, just have to push them best possible at the moment, this is one reason I have sharpening off and NR almost zero or sub 10. Keep gain low as I can and suffer dark images :facepalm: But I totally agree, at night these things are sub par, the 4K and S3 look very good in comparison. -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
That should help 4K sales :) but yes, welcome to the 'try and freeze motion at night' club with the 54Pro, I recommend shutter below 2ms, 1.5ms if you can manage it. No logic I know but just facts for now...
