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

    Average annual snowfall here is almost 100" ... but we get a lot of sun, so the non-shady parts melt down. Didn't mean to imply it's just about "pretty pictures" ... since yea, gotta be able to capture movement ... and you/others have done some great testing in that area. As you well know, the...

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

    @EMPIRETECANDY Agreed that the 54PRO is warmer (both are set to Auto White-Balance) and I like that look. Ditto that I too see more details on the trees and foliage in throughout the picture - might be some AI processing going on there(?) as these can be very difficult for sharpening...

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

    Roger all that @bigredfish ... and sorry if I traumatized you with the snowy picture ... better not scroll down! ;-) As implied, I don't consider this a good test of cameras ... but I couldn't wish attempting some humor saying WTF with all the (white) noise in the video ... I just mounted...

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

    So here's a "snowy" comparison between the T54PRO-ZE (running 11/27FW) and 5442-S3. They are vertically separated by just less than a foot ... and I've tried to frame them similarly. Both have same parameters of 10 msec shutter, 100 iris, 0 gain, 0 2D/3D NR (and toggled OFF). As you can see in...

    Speaking of the 5442 ... and sorry if I missed someone pointing it out ... but @EMPIRETECANDY has new firmware for the "IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3" on his website that was uploaded in mid-November. I'm currently running "V3.142.15OG003.0.R, Build Date: 2024-12-21" ... with the new "IPC" file saying...

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

    Sorry if I missed seeing somebody saying this ... but did the "Gain Scale" get "reset" moving from the 1028 to 1127 firmware? The reason I asked is on 1028, if you went above 65, the noise rapidly became OMG bad. However, with 1127, I'm not seeing it near as bad ... even when set to 100...

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

    Thanks for clarifying @bigredfish ... as I just double-checked the T540PRO-ZE ... and the System Info page is IDENTICAL (i.e. "V3.146.0000000.0.R, Build Date: 2025-10-28" and everything else) to what you posted, except, of course, the "Device Model" is a T54PRO-ZE ... but under AI->IVS->Global...

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

    Sorry I forgot about your post @bigredfish ... but that's from the very latest 11/27 firmware - right? FYI that I have another T54PRO-ZE still running the 10/28 FW and under AI->IVS->Global Config, it does NOT have that option at the top to enable "Large-Scale AI models"

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

    Just noticed this minor change/update - under AI->IVS->Global Config, there are some new options at the bottom of the page to set the image resolutions/control type/level Perhaps waayyy more interesting is that there is an option at the top to enable "Large-Scale AI models"

    Great question @steve1225 - maybe it flags UFO's ... or "transparent guys on golf carts" ;-) Someone else mentioned this, and now that I have the new firmware running, I can see under IVS->Effective Target, there is a NEW option called "Other" is listed next to "Human", "Motor Vehicle", and...

    [Duplicate posting over here as may be of interest] For those interested, here's the "version numbers" that change when you push to the latest firmware from @EMPIRETECANDY - changes in BOLD. I applied the (smaller - 123MByte) "IPC" file first and then the (746MByte) firmware.bin second. The...

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

    Thanks for info/DM @EMPIRETECANDY ... I'm traveling, so will probably wait a few days before updating. Can you please provide more info about the difference between the Dahua "4" release (Release notes says 11/11/20225 and the sizes are 120/730MBytes) versus your 11/27 release (123/746MBytes).

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

    I don't know if the order makes any difference, but I happen to load the DH_IPC... file first and then firmware.bin I know some people recommend resetting to factory default (three times) ... but I did it in-place and worked every time and my various settings were saved.

    As I wrote earlier "I'd be interested in testing this ... but are you recommending "your" firmware @EMPIRETECANDY ... or the R4 release on the Dahua website?" ... so if you can clarify what you are recommending for the T54PRO-ZE ... and if the former, please send me a copy of your firmware so I...

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

    To echo what @wittaj said, FYI that specifically to the 54PRO-ZE, I have gone back-n-forth between @EMPIRETECANDY and Dauhu firmware and all seems to work fine. I have not tried the very latest releases ... yet.

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    The SMALLER the aperture number, the "bigger" it is ... so more light is let in ... F/1.2 is actually better than F/1.8.

    Slow download speed of recordings in SmartPSS Lite

    I doubt you could buy a (micro) SD Card these days that is NOT capable of at least 10 MBYTES/sec ... and therefore able to saturate the 100Mbits/sec Ethernet connection. So that is NOT a bottleneck! BTW, as someone who did the referenced post, an easy "end-to-end" test of your connection is to...

    IR sensitivity differences between 5442-S3 and T54PRO-ZE ... puzzling results

    I agree with all that you guys wrote above ... and yea, comparing the T54PRO-ZE and 5442-S3 using the SAME(!) settings (to see if the sensor/lens improved) may not be easily doable. Ideally (again!) shutter speed should be straightforward - in the examples above 1/10s (locked - not 0-10msec)...

    IR sensitivity differences between 5442-S3 and T54PRO-ZE ... puzzling results

    Here's the exact same setup after turning on BOTH onboard IR lights (with max manual settings) which adds a little bit of light to the scene.

    IR sensitivity differences between 5442-S3 and T54PRO-ZE ... puzzling results

    For grins, I moved the external IR illuminator to the edge of the roof ... so it's closer to the driveway and therefore more lit-up ... and I was able to increase the shutter speed to 1/10s. As before, other params are iris 100, gain 0, and NR 0 ... as I'm trying to just compare the IR...

    The underlying OS must have CPU/Memory/Performance monitor - be really nice if we could see this easily!!!! P.S. I run mine at 10/15 FPS ... as I don't see a need to capture MORE images ... but I certainly want BETTER images ... ;-)

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    This picture is real good example of what I mean when I say that the "3D NR multi-frame averaging'" of the 54PRO may be overly aggressive ... which provides a cleaner STATIC image but would cause more motion blur. The brick, grass, etc. look pretty decent ... but several examples associated...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    LOL that would be nice ... but perhaps more realistically, I would suggest @EMPIRETECANDY that you keep enlisting folks to test new firmware ... and ideally new camera's. Let me know Andy when you have that BIG SENSOR camera with an F/1.0 lens! ;-)

    Remember how Dahua should hire Mrs. @bigredfish for hair testing? Now they need to hire Mr. @bigredfish for golf cart testing! ;-) BTW, that's actually a nice "moving object" test situation since I'm guessing you have a lot of golf carts go by at similar speeds. LOL @lookee with "Haunted...

    IR sensitivity differences between 5442-S3 and T54PRO-ZE ... puzzling results

    It's possible (but unlikely) that IF the 54PRO is LESS sensitive to IR, that in order to expose the picture properly, it has to run at slower shutter speed and/or higher gain ... which would both contribute to motion blur. So that's why I was trying to assess using locked down exposure settings...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I'm thinking that compared to the 5442, the "3D NR multi-frame averaging" of the 54PRO may be overly aggressive ... which provides a cleaner STATIC image, but would cause more motion blur ... and also when you have scene changes such as caused by fog.

    Updated my previous comments/posts - "IR sensitivity differences between 5442-S3 and T54PRO-ZE ... puzzling results" This ideally should be a fairly simple test - we are just looking at exposure - not sharpness, noise, motion, etc. It's frustrating that my results were not consistent between...
