Fifth Dahua Camera and I cannot get this one to initialize...
I found a cheaper switch with poe++, albeit it is managed: https://www.netgear.com/business/wired/switches/plus/ms108eup/ Buyer beware though. Although your camera does say it requires poe++, it'sa bit close with a stated max of 58w vs the 60w POE++ max per port. I believe that switch has a...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yeah but I don't think it's down to sensor size or should that be pixel size on the sensor as the larger sensor on the 4K colour series largely maintains the pixel size given it's 8mp on 1.2 vs 4mp on 1.8. I think the issue is rather more with the relationship between sensor physical size and... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I think it's with everything engaged - lens heater, led's AI (!!!), siren, speaker etc. For sure, 90% of the time, not everything will be on at the same time. The issue with going lower in terms of a switch is the one time everything aligns to cause every feature to be used, or if not every... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
24.2w is going to cause huge issues with POE switches. Even mid range poe+ cannot supply those power levels: This is the cheapest Netgear switch I could find that supports that kind of power level (30w per port), and even then the budget works out at 6 ports max at that level for $249.99... -
eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?
I know little of the US but are cordless telephone and radar detectrs really banned? I thought the US was the home of those devices? Almost all UK homes have cordless phones. Radar detectors are rare but largely because over here they cost a fortune and nearly all speed enforcement is done via... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yeah. Whoever works at Dahua should perhaps google animals in the main parts of the world and teach AI those instead of taking pictures from a safari manual. I think Cat, Dog, Fox, Coyote / Wolf, would be far more liekly encounters than Giraffe, lion etc. Unles of course you live in a zoo or... -
Replace ColorVu cameras with IR
No colour camera will see in the dark. so replacing it won't achieve anthing unless you go over to a camera with a B&W IR picture for night time. There's no need to spend huge amounts of money replacing either. I've given you a cheap and easy solution, put an led light in there on a timer set... -
Is thermal right for me?
Understand the limitations. No camera will produce a good picture on movement at 16ms. I use 4ms on 4Kt. 6 or 8ms at a push if I need more light for some reason. Even then, I like to have motion operated flood lighting to reinforce the background light if someone has been detected to get a...- CCTVCam

Really good IR. Colour shows the limitations of the sensor size and that's without knowing gain, shutter etc.- CCTVCam

Replace ColorVu cameras with IR
You don't have enough light. I have the 4kT Dahua which are almost identical and I can get a decent picture with around 300-400 lumens and that's outside not in a small enclosed space like a garage and that's on a gain of 50 and a 4ms shutter. If it's that dark your colourvu requires >50 gain... -
Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?
Why connect through Apple TV ? Can't you just connect your NVR direct to your TV and simply change the source using the remote if you need to view the cams? It seems to me you're over complicating it. -
Best Dash Camera 2024
Viofo is my favourite as well. However, it's very over priced. $399 when it's using the same sensor as the Wolfbox at $199. I couldn't justify that price especially as the others run it close. Dashcam market seems to be dying out a lot in the UK anyway. Insurers don't give discounts and will put... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The Pro version has a definately better image in that example. There's more detail in the fence in the right pro image without appearing oversharpened opposed to a very over sharpened artefact-y looking image in the non pro and the grass to the left of the path has more detail in the right pro... -
2.8 PTZ
Your friend would p;robably be better off either with a fixed camera or a hyrbid camera such as the one Andy has suggested. The issue with a pure pTZ is if it's looking in the wrong place, it won't be triggered and he'll never see where the dogs went and PTZ's are notorious for tracking poorly...- CCTVCam

Replace ColorVu cameras with IR
Simple answer is give the camera some light. Put a light on a timer and run it all night. You only need a small led bulb of a couple of watts to bring the light levels up to where the Colorvu are probably going to give a decent picture without the issues you're describing. BTW pixellation and... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
The 5 / 7442 doesn't seem to have a shallow with dof but it's a smaller sensor. P iris is definately a step forward for larger sensor'ed models. 4kt is great in many ways but Gen 1 certainly appears from my experience to have a few achiles heels albeit the picture is pretty good if your main... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
The digital processing is terrible on Gen 1. I still believe they probably have used lots of compression for non central areas gaming graphics card style to reduce data size. The issue I have with this (in the day at least with reference to the above), is often criminal actions can happen in the... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
I agree Steve. Unsure if the P Iris works automatically, but it's definately the answer. In bright conditions you can have a small aperture eg f18 (if it goes that low) and in the middle of the night when there's no light f1.2. You're still going to get very little dof in the night, but at night... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
I think the issue for PQ is a mixture of lens, aperture and compression issues. It's welll know as you go up in sensor size, you have to go down in aperture to maintain dof. Lack of clarity is probably a combination of shallow focal point caused by large aperture and possibly quality of lens... -

No its a fixed IP on the 2nd Network card. The IP has changed ocassionally in the camera itself after the power was withdrawn. It's the 2nd one I've had like this. My other is slighly more stable but neither seems to like losing power. I'd never seen moving IVS trips wires until the other night... -
Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera
Never knew the 4kt had been revised. The original appears to have some issues incl. but not limited to DOF, focus issues and clarity compared to 5442, processing power / memory (too many things enabled on camera caused issues). It also doens't like power being withdraw and on mine at least... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
As above, I found that with my 4kt's. Close to the cameras 8ms would deliver a blurred person on fast walking. Further out, ok. That's why I run 4ms with re-inforcement lighting as the area it's protecting is close to the camera. Although 4ms is just about decent if dark, I rely instead on 4ms... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I run my 4kt's at 4ms. I noticed even on 6ms in very dark conditions you can get artefacts on quick movement with people when they're close to the camera. Be interesting to see an 8ms & 4ms comparison. Also gain looks slightly high at 60. I noticed a bit of pulsing / sparkling in the image... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
541RZE still looks the clearest and sharpest to me. There's a huge difference in the cars. Maybe Dhaua need to look at the lenses they're using vs the 541 ZE's. The 541ZE is slightly more washed out, but I'd take it over the other 3 anyday due to clarity and sharpness. It's strange how the ZE... -
SIIOOE IP wifi Camera solar powered setup
I'd like to see a night video in low light with someone moving quickly through the picture. The achilles heel of most cheap cameras is you can often only achieve a decent low light static image by using high gain /slow shutters, both of which lead to picture issues especially with movement. Most... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Unsure if Dhaua would allow this but one way of making it clearer whilst making it different could be to put E or ET for Empire Tech in the name after the 1st number so: 5442 would be 5ET442 5842 would be 5ET842 7442 would be 7ET442 Using ET or 5442 would be 5E442 on the E alone convention...
