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

    Open both files in the same viewer and rotate between them fast. they are remotely not event similar field-of-view.. different height, different angle, different rotation.. ps. the same height is critical for comparison like this..

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    this is what Dahua is doing now. You have some shared elements - like base, HTMLPlayer, web ui which are regularly rebased. But strange changes (like speed limits done for footage downloads) done individually in each firmware line stays. Those elements and theirs versions are displayed in...

    T54PRO-ZE versus T5442-S3 in low light

    A few more, taken from ChatGPT: LED pwm frequency and flickering in movies ChatGPT said: Good question — this is a real issue when filming LED lights! Let’s go over it clearly. Why LEDs Flicker in Movies LEDs are usually dimmed using PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) — turning the LED on and off...

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    this only confirms how bad Dahua / HIK is on software / firmware side. All modern companies / solutions moved to rolling releases in one main line. So all your supported hardware (from specific company) is receiving the same firmware / software (done from the same base code) with only small...

    T54PRO-ZE versus T5442-S3 in low light

    Because you don't see classic "analog" flicker from incandescent lamps and 50/60Hz (in reality 100/120Hz cuts over zero voltage) AC power supply frequency. Today problem with flicker is different - it's flicker from LEDs and LEDs DC power sources. Depending of LED model and PWM frequency You...

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    Side comment: EVO cards are not dedicated for CCTV usage. they will die after a few months in 24/7 writing scenarios.. only "Endurance" sd-card models (Samsung, SanDisk etc) with high TBW values are dedicated for usage like this.. they use older flash memory technology which are capable of much...

    I can confirm: video footage download from camera web interface using clean browser (no plugins, Mac, safari) is capped at 1.2-1.3 MB/s per ONE download using much much faster Samsung PRO Endurance 256GB sd-card... I can start 6 parallel processes of downloading the same big chunk of video...

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    I understands this very well.. repeated many times on this thread - report problems to Andy.. And wait for next firmware with fix (or not). I understands one more thing - Dahua to fit release dead line, released this camera with very alpha quality firmware. Which never should be published to...

    this means nothing.. there can be ethernet transmission errors which slows speeds very much... try totally different ethernet cable.. even only for the test...

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    I don't use camera interface - but NVRs ones... But similar thing I found on NVR where remote sync which uploads videos to remote server 24/7 even on higher models of NVRs (608-xi) is caped to 12 MB/s (so about 100 mbit/s) with gigabit interface. And can't work faster... on higher camera count...

    Downloading videos files directly from camera via web interface (using other than IE) seems to be capped at *TEN* Mbps

    All cameras on the market (except some Ultra models) supports only Fast Ethernet (100 mbit/s). Not gigabit! Support for gigabit eats around 0.5W more on camera side plus another 0.5W on switch side. Measured for ethernet port doing nothing. Also older / cheaper cameras don't have enough...

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

    You know what is the best? This problem is simply wrong automatic exposure algorithm, which select longer exposures in good conditions.. Can be fixed in firmware.. Worth to collect video documentation (video files showing problem + text description) and sends to Andy.. He can sends this to...

    New Hikvision NVR 5.0 is a disaster

    Try to update firmware to latest one - some problems in 5.0 NVRs was solved... there is second forum which is dedicated to HIK. There were many threads there about problems with 5.0 NVRs UI/UX/firmwares... http://use-ip.co.uk/forum

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

    yes, and after that you have users on the forum who bought many 4K's, installed over house and run on 1/6 shutter settings at night to have nice colorful image because of lack IR :)

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

    Color-4K is dead project.. too many problems which NEVER will be solved (can't be - law of optics).. lack of IR... not worth to buy for new installations.. If I were Andy, I'd consider to hide (or move somewhere down in the shop) of Color4K model / line in the store. Selling it to new users...

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

    it can be.. please remember we use / test a very new product with almost beta firmware, with a lot of new features (and new AI-ISP video processing pipe-line), which is not available in normal distribution by Dahua in countries (it will be in one/two months) and totally not tested by Dahua...

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

    I didn't read very well posts in last 2 weeks (I've been on a lot of things lately.) However, I'll ask globally - what are you struggling with? Is it the alleged lack of sharpness? Or the excessive/unswitchable noise reduction?

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

    OMG... Constant time 1/1000 (without ability to camera choose shorter one) and gain 0 to 1... What is the purpose of that???? When it's cloudy it won't work anymore.

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

    Those new AI-ISP based hybrid LEDs cams (34PRO, 54PRO) can do wonders to video performance at not so good light conditions... and also they can help a lot with IR or/and white LEDs onboard... But always there is another better solution - simply put around house (or any other location) more...

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

    OK, that's ghosting.. some people call movement blur as ghosting so this is why I ask... ghosting is created by 3D NR algorithm in SOC chip (not at sensor level).. 3D NR works that way - each video frame is "averaged" with a few previous ones to create brighter, less noised and more stable...

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

    OMG... Smooth Stream set to 100 don't work like this... like opposite.. This is ratio switch - between smooth (value 0) and clear (value 100)... default 50 is in the middle (half of both)... Smooth (value 0) is giving more bandwidth for each frame (delta frames with small changes) in stream at...

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

    One thing I found on those WizColor cams... Day videos are VERY STABLE on textures (trees, greens, asphalt). Even night videos with good lighting - big areas with textures are very stable. Nothing happens, no pulsing, no re-sharping, no small color / details changing, no nothing... Looks like...

    Latest NVRs firmware supports up to 20TB (official info). Question does it support bigger HDs like this?

    Less sharpness in T54PRO-ZE (versus 5442-S3) possibly due to noise reduction being applied even if set to ZERO?

    One more thing about differences - each camera have different "internal default settings"... 54IR-S3 is very well know from from over sharpening the image at default (50) settings.. it's how it was tuned by Dahua engineers... 54PRO have very soft default settings..Sharpening algorithm is also...
