2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech
Not only, there are some Dahua low line plastic 2449 models with only white light (no IR) sold as Color4M in Andy shop (sub 100 USD models)... they should be called 24WHITE or 24COLOR - or something like that... this is why I ask for model numbering unification... Andy can't use original...- steve1225

2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech
@EMPIRETECANDY Andy, please change the Color4M/8M camera designations to the system we chose together (34PRO). Currently, practically three different camera lines have been released as Color4M. It's hard to tell them apart, especially low line plastic white light only 2449 models. Furthermore...- steve1225

Luminys migration / NVR question
Let me guess.... Are you a Mac user? Do you have Microsoft Office (Word/Excel etc) installed? The CSS styles used in the Dahua NVR interface use appropriately selected fonts for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. And the interface normally looks OK on these platforms... The whole thing becomes...- steve1225

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Avigilon is doing CCTV systems for corporations, who need multiple 100+ cameras systems.. And they have good integrated solution for that (especially VMS / software side, camera hardware is mediocre at best). Price is from the hell, but they have many advantages for that big integrations... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes.. On the new NVR model new firmware with new UI will be updated / extended for next 2-3 years.. As it was always on PRO line of cameras or NVRs... So no worries here... if there are bugs they should be fixed... I don't know what policy update Dahua will take for older 5xxx-EI (2022... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
there is thread about this NVR Next GUI 5.0... it's available for older 5xxx-EI as firmware upgrade, but it have many small errors and for now better to stay on older now.. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-nvr-next-gui.81915/ -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
You can assume that for 99.99% chance plugin is still there :) most features will work without it (like on actual NVRs on latest firmwares), but you will see non stop messages about installing and some limitations.. -

Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
You'v received all the suggestions on what you can do (3 options) on the forum. You tried only one of them. Now you're just starting to be grumpy :) ps. If you're sending questions like this, at least put some effort into them. Prepare photos showing the problem and describe them. Show what... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
there is no such thing as signals sent over POE to the recording equipment :) POE is a Power over Ethernet standards.. except some negotiation for power, it simply sends 48V over CAT5 cable :) Nothing more... Dahua NVRs and IPCs are using many protocols, all over classic TCP/IP (or UDP/IP in... -
Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?
it's not - decoding capabilities are half of 5xxx-EI (-AI models in Andy shop).. And 5xxx-EI is old model (2022), replaced by new 5xxx-EI2 (AI-S2 in Andy shop, 2x more AI limits, bigger decoding capabilities, some extra AI functionality).. ps. I'm not 100% sure, but as I understand Luminys vs...- steve1225

Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
Normally yes - zero.. Exposure compensation have use where you have very big brightness differences in scene (80% scene bright, 20% very dark). In other cases - automatic selection should be ok. If you limit exposure / gain / iris too much - then automatic selection will not work correctly... -

Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
In Europe, if a product is defective, we send it back to the seller (online or classic offline - zero difference), and they have to worry about what to do with it.

Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
I wrote that - this is main case where I need separate profiles in those 2-3% cases... For now you can use WDR all day & night.. and use one profile... Or contact with Your seller.. And try to create request for fixed firmware. You seller sold You this product and his is responsible to support... -
Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
As I person who manages hundreds of cams, I will tell you that You are not right.. Simply You don't know how to do it :) In 97% cases night profile (shutter time/gains setup for the night - but only if setup as RANGES from 0 to specified value - in full manual mode) will work very well in day... -
Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
you can't contact with Dahua China directly - they don't talk with end-users... You must go by Your seller, it will use Dahua contact in Your country and then they can report a problem in firmware to Dahua China. -
Confusion around Day/Night switch utility and newer Dahua cameras
second option is simply use one profile.. on most cased today there is no need to two separate profiles for day & night.. even in full manual mode you have RANGES for shutter time and gain - you can create one profile which will work nice in day & night... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Even though I'm a huge supporter of open source solutions, I think you've fallen quite deeply into the world of fantasy and wishful thinking... Dahua is a large corporation with dozens of product lines. Their main asset, besides their brand, factories, and distribution network, is their... -
Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T
34PRO (tioc-pro 3449).. I don't have triple lens cam - but it's listed in Dahua materials as camera with Xinghan AI. So it should have (on latest firmware) option to enable Large Scale AI Models in IVS -> Global config, you can try it.... -
My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)
that's last picture is very soft / out-of-focus... This is probably because the shot captures the top of a nearby tree (bottom left corner of the photo). Next time, try capturing a shot where no close-up objects are visible... and the image in the distance is sharp... The color processing is...- steve1225

My review of the SDT8C842-8P-FA-APV-0280 2×1/1.8" CMOS 8MP 42x (versus the PTZ1A2M-25X 2MP 25×)
Focal lengths are bullshit data in CCTV cameras.. camera manufacturers cheat here all the time... You should look at horizontal Field of View: PTZ1A2M: SDT8: PTZ1A have horizontal FoV 58.5 to 2.8 degree horizontal - it's only 21x (58.5 / 2.8) zoom ratio.. not 25x :) SDT8 have horizontal...- steve1225

Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?
Yes - AcuPick must be supported by cam.. XI & EI2 models have limited capability to add AcuPick processing to a few non AcuPick cams.. But not EI (it's 2022 model with not so strong SOC / AI processor)..- steve1225
