Looks like that will work quite well indeed, can read the numbers on that pole! Which model 54Pro is this? turret or bullet? sorry, probably mentioned and I've read prior to this post.
That cat is moving slow I know but still looking pretty good, wish people and cars moved that slow :rofl:
Similar with my B54IR-Z4E S3, faster shutter and always brighter, source of great frustration at this point to be honest.
Ah OK, that makes sense, I realised the latest release was features only. Yes, we need a roll up with some serious reductions in 'auto bot' :lmao: adjustments!!
Agreed, I was almost hoping it would fall off sooner at about 30% zoom, which does make you wonder about processing more.
I think that I've already crossed over into the 'annoyed they released this too soon' camp, with what appears to be a potentially (my opinion only!) sub par sensor. I have...
This most useful, appreciate the time you put in, not a quick task! Looks to my eyes that light falls away quicker past 0382 and 0582. Would very much like to know at what point (potentially) the f stop changes from f1.2 to f1.x
Indeed this is likely data that Dahua can publish, for now I will...
I would just be grateful at this point if the 54Pro could get level with the S3 at night, and during the day for that matter. Surely a lot of this has to be linked to the automation/processing, if so then it really is madness and at times like this frustrating. I can capture a great still image...
Shutter below 2ms during the day (and night really!) for these to be sharp with freeze motion, I run mine below 1 during the day, yes, really!!
Daytime settings below...
Yes there is really no taming these at the moment, we are reaching the same conclusion at this point. Unless tuning out this auto processing brings these back closer to the 5442, then I suspect the sensor may well be the limiting factor here. We are finding the limits and beyond of what they can...
I am a camera (photography) guy, although I know there is huge development regarding phone cameras. There will never ever be a substitute for good glass and a large sensor, you cannot bend the laws of optics past a certain point. In the photography world I will take a fast aperture prime (fixed...
Interesting, hopefully it can be tuned out as much as possible. The 5459-IL series look interesting although aperture not spectacular, anything which gives better manual control without Ai processing can only be good!
This 'always on' processing needs to stop or at least have a toggle for those who don't want the 'we think we probably know what you want so tough luck' option turned on! I am seeing this on the 54Pro and wish it could just be disabled for more natural viewing.
While we are on this auto...
Wow, that is a lot of work but very interesting. This agrees with my findings based on user feedback and my own experience with the 2.8 at least, sharpness is good from 5-12 or even 5-15 but then falls away from there. I mean they are still insanely good past those distances frankly but this...
It is on the limit honestly, pushing the gain will cause other issues, dropping the shutter will darken it quite a lot. Just have to try shutter below 2 or 3 and see how it plays out. Otherwise just go with IR and tune that to suit, still have to keep shutter low (fast) though.
IR Would improve it from a motion standpoint no doubt, would be nice to keep in colour if possible though. Don't forget the iris @Chokolinho - 65+ if it is below that already.
Ok, that is not so bad, but shutter has to go lower for motion sadly, I figured it would. Below 2ms is calling sadly, then possibly push the gain but really best if you can manage not to. You are about to hit the limit if that has not already been passed :thumb:
Maybe knock sharpness to zero if it is looking to grainy. Can even try NR to nothing but still enabled, surprising how much better that can look, it might not be clean but should be better for motion. Keep the iris above 65 but maybe below 85 also if you can, will brighten it a touch.
