Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The scene looks good but for motion you will have to suffer less brightness...maybe, I would go: Shutter: 0-4ms at least Gain: 69 NR: below 10 Sharpness: 0 to 9 Fact is unless you can get serious light (4000 lumen+) then compromises with digital fuzzies (@bigredfish :D:thumb:) need to be made... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Seems like this could cost me more money, what is new! The 4K series are really spoiling me for low light and zero ambient light situations, I find the S3 and 5442 just solid for IR use and general coverage. The 54ProZE is overlapping with those two for me, having varifocal is still very... -

Not yet, features only I believe. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
One of them worked but it was buggy, delete, try again, delete, go back etc etc. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I think maybe a bug, try deleting it then redraw, but I saw this a bit, went back and tried again, worked as expected. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Woeful lack of video from me, but here are some stills from various cameras looking at the same vehicle, identical time of day just simply different angles. Useful to compare with the 54ProZE (1028 firmware), overcast conditions, all 100%, no editing, vehicle moving around 32-35mph : 54ProZE... -

Not much more needs to be said :goodpost: -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Very much so, a stark reminder highlighted by the PTZ, there is no substitute for the correct focal length, regardless of megapixels. On another note it appears that @tmxv4128 has a very nice camera setup there, always good to have some overlap, especially if one might perform better at night... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Looks pretty good, have you tried a walk test on it with IR, the cat walking away will work in the 8.33 shutters favour, just make sure when you cross the scene left to right that motion blur isn't a factor. If this is the case then shutter will have to be lower and gain pushed up a touch. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Sometimes text like book chapters are just as good as videos and pictures, especially if they are filled with wisdom and experience :thumb: - try the suggestions, if they work well, add that person to the 'they know what they are talking about list' :lmao: I would agree with this 100%, as the... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
OK, I am quite certain this latest 1028 firmware is a step forward, both in daytime and night images. Feels like some of the automatic processing has been pulled back, I am seeing more natural looking (sometimes a little fine noise, which is OK) but colour at night and daytime is looking better... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Indeed, 1/120 or even 1/250 would be my go to on most IP cams, the 54Pro for me is actually running at 1/500 or faster :wow: :wtf: but I like my motion properly frosty! -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes, VBR was just not for me, I find it tends to react too slowly if there is critical motion before quality picks up, this depends on the scene maybe, you mileage may vary. As you have seen in 'auto' mode or similar, images look amazing until something moves, then it all collapses :) You also... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes that is good: H.264H CBR FPS matching iframe Bitrate high as possible -Manual shutter... Gain low as possible, daytime 0-30, night 0-50 as guides Shutter speed custom range 0-2 day and 0-4 night depending NR again low as you can go, between 15-30, maybe even off depends on your preference... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Perfection is a good target :clap: tend to aim for that one myself! Keep FPS and iFrame matched, so 15FPS and iFrame 15, and so on, this gives best quality along with keeping bit rate high. Oh yes and CBR as noted by @bigredfish above. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Sounds like you had some work on there! with an IT/networking background, you will be fine tuning these in, work on one first then dial those settings to the other once happy. Tweak from there, normally you will get similar settings for most with minor adjustments for night depending on location... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Only briefly had chance to check the 1028 but I am sure in the daylight it looks better, at night not too much change but I see some frames at night in colour that look quite nice, very very fine noise which I like, retains detail in those situations as mentioned above. Very happy to see more of... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I am on 1028 with one of mine now and not noticing much yet, I cannot tell much if any difference between the two above, other than color saturation/shift on the driveway? -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
That is looking pretty good to me, I saw your night video and thought the shutter could be a bit faster, I am finding that 0-2ms or even less works best for these, depending on how sensitive you are to having totally frozen motion. Sharpness I would say drop to below 25 if you can, mine is below... -
So confused on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X ?
No doubt about that, even marginally out of focus areas on these still produce great results! If the sharpest part of the image matched that truck on a 2MP or 4MP camera from a few years back, we would probably be very pleased. The sweet spot on this video is crazy sharp, even the properties in... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
You hit the nail right on the head here on both counts. I would add that the magic needs to be dialled down and let the sensor perform in RAW format so to speak. Or at least allow us tweakers full manual without Ai/WDR/HDR/Magic assist. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
This should be interesting :clap: great position and plenty moving targets, I am very intrigued to see your thoughts, especially compared to your other cameras. You appear to have some ambient from street lights so the 54Pro should give some reasonable results. -
So confused on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X ?
That makes sense, tough call in the 16-20ft range for me I have to say, the 2.8 will be on the wide side but really low light is critical so that requirement should take priority. I am pretty taken with these 4K models, the low light capability combined with resolution is pretty compelling. Went... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Angle is clearer to see now with the skulls! the digital look of these cameras I dislike, hence why I try to disable all processing, which we know seems impossible at this point. Like you say the processing side is not there just yet. -
So confused on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X ?
Excellent, a camera (DSLR) guy, this inspires confidence, my IP cams need to function in poor light just like my digital camera, at least with the IP cams this is a cheaper game to play! Primes for the big cameras look less appealing to the wallet. Anyway, seems like the 2.8mm is going to win... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Driveway looks to have 'pitting' or small pieces missing in this image, is that representative of how it looks, not seen this effect previously in this image, guessing the WDR/HDR... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes indeed, where I have IR overlap with my 54Pro, similarly, LED overlap with the second one, it helps quite a bit, although once below 0-2ms shutter serious light is required to benefit the image, sadly. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I would go in that range day and night honestly, night is more likely to be beneficial as reduces processing and should be cleaner. Based on your samples you need some sharpening in the day regardless, maybe just 5-10 is enough, would need to trial that. -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Looks like some serious processing going on with that image, maybe due to the challenging sunlight conditions? getting a HDR vibe again! -
Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret
Do you feel that by 18-20 feet the 3.6mm is beginning to move outside of it's optimum focus window, watching this again and looking at stills, almost seems like it is sharper between 12-15 feet. I am now totally confused whether to go with 2.8 bullet or the 3.6mm, maybe should just get both and...
