    Using POE NVR without providing power

    there are 'POE power blockers' on the market.. or some stupid cheap ethernet switches.. cutting wires in CAT5 cable don't work - POE power can be sent over the same wires (1,2,3,6) as fast ethernet data..

    Using POE NVR without providing power

    And why you want to do it like this? You can disable POE power on switch or NVR on this port... Also if you provide power to camera using camera power-in cable, it should switch to it automatically (ignore POE)..

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

    All WizColor / AI-ISP cams have TOTALLY different video workflow comparing to older Dahua cameras.. Many settings works very different... The same was on TIOC-PRO (34PRO)... You can try to enable full WDR (with values >= 50) - it reverse some (not all) original Dahua video processing - to test...

    PoE+ power issues on ~90m Cat6 run — need advice

    is the cable 23AWG? this is more important than cable is CAT5 or CAT6... You can try to use different switch, but POE++ will not solve any problem here (because camera will negotiate POE+ only).. Also POE+ and POE++ are using the same voltage... Both HIK & Dahua are offering own POE switches...

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

    3449 TIOC or 3449 TIOC-PRO? if TIOC-PRO (with 1/1.8" sensor), then there shouldn't be that difference.. TIOC-PRO have the same AI-ISP / always active HDR technology. Probably something was wrong configured..

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

    triggering other channels is for PTZ cams.. never saw this to trigger multiple recordings/activate alarm outputs/smart lights etc.. if you want to have full house lights/alarms activated by each camera, you have ALARM-OUT output on 5xxx NVRs - where you can connect small relay and turn-on any...

    【Review】IMX482 1/1.2" 5.8um Camera, King of The Ultra Low Light Camera World?

    CCTV cameras require NIR (Near IR) enhanced sensors.. Normal sensors for DSLR like cams don't have support for enhanced IR... Also prices for those sensors are very high.. More interesting for today standards for next generation CCTV cams should be using Quad Bayer Sensors, like used today in...

    there are multiple reports that Windows 11 update (some security patch? defender/firewall rules?) blocks Dahua web service plugin on many computers... the only known solution for now is to delete webplugin from computer... for me (Mac user, so there is no plugins at all) on modern cams all...

    change HD/no HD in DMSS on this channel (primary/secondary stream).. if this will not help, try different encoding settings on camera (h264, CBR, 2048kbit)...

    My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)

    Very nice... Did you use white light on the camera? or some spot light next to the camera? the white moving spots looks like dust reflections from the light... I would invest/install some white spotlights (narrow beam) / flood lights (wide beam) on the building or fence - but in some distance...

    Auto Tracking Pets with Dahua

    Dahua never released any PTZ camera which officially supported animal tracking (in spec sheet). Only human and vehicles. Older non-AI models did that, but only because they couldn't differentiate animal from human. Sometimes never AI models track bigger animals, but only because they think...

    My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)

    Tip from other PTZ models: Use a maximum of 80-90% zoom range... Typically, at the maximum 100% zoom PTZ cams / optics produces the most image distortion and instability.
