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

    Andy, but they have SECOND video processing pipeline without AI-ISP in this firmware.. All dual light (5x59-IL) models DON'T have AI-ISP and they use some form of more classic video processing... almost the same hardware.. the same firmware.. They simply can add option to use video pipeline...

    Main difference for PRO NVR is WizSeek - natural large AI model like Google Gemini for describing what NVR see on video. You can search objects / actions by written prompts like 'Man in blue t-shirt running over street'. Or 'cat jumping over fence'. You can create alarms for specific actions...

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

    no it's not.. 4/5/8 Mpx models configuiration and 140db WDR (triple flash, 90 fps on sensor) on 4Mpx model suggest that sensors on 5x59-IL are taken from OmniVision (identical to 5442) not SmartSense. they have very different noise type.. there is no 2Mpx model on both lines...

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

    Yes, main board with SoC and firmware is the same. Only sensor and optics are different. Plus firmware don’t support ai-isp (different internal config). In world of cams this is normal. Hik have sometimes hundreds cam models on the same main board / soc / firmware.

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

    There is huge difference in AI video processing performance on latest mobiles (I use iPhone 17 pro max) and sport cams (latest insta360 / DJI cams) and those hik / Dahua ai-isp cams.. WizColor looks like 3-4 years old AI video processing taken from older mobiles / sport cams. They have huge...

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

    F1.6 and F1.0 difference on the paper is huge. In reality in cctv cams not.. I had F1.2 aperture (almost F1.0) 5442H versions (in 7442 chassis/optics) and the difference in image brightness at night wasn't huge... Nothing like 54IR vs 34PRO / 54PRO now... Full 7442 on the same sensor /...

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

    the biggest progres in last a few years are in mobile / sport cam / drone image sensor segments.. Quad Bayer sensors have revolutionized the capabilities offered by mobile devices. High resolution (48Mpx, aka 8K) for a day operation plus the ability to group 4 pixels into 1 larger one in the...

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

    I don't think this is possible. AI-ISP is very different video processing pipeline from classic Dahua/HIK one (I found this one year ago with TIOC-PRO). It can be tuned (internal Dahua configuration of used SOC) but not switched off.. very similar to full color cams, which had not switchable...

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

    In comparison to classic IR 1/1.8" image sensor with F1.6 aperture cams with classic processing (like Dahua 5442) the difference is bigger.. Mostly due 3D AI noise reduction (creates very good static pictures), always-on HDR (dynamic remapping) and 3D-LUT color grading. But also different...

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

    but it's 2021 image sensor.. taken from HIK ColorVu 2.0 cams.. As I told a few times, all progress in 2024/2025 Dahua WizColor / HIK ColorVu 3.0 cams are based only on new SOC with AI-ISP video processing. Zero progress on sensor level.. This is very visible from the comments here on the...

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

    On my 54PRO, when I turn off the 3D NR switch, I see an image without 3D noise reduction—with the typical defects of an unprocessed image—noise that forms a characteristic pattern typical of this sensor. Of course, I'm talking about a very short shutter speed (0.1 ms during the day) and high...

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

    Are you saying that all the complaints about "not turning off" 3D NR were due to setting 3D NR to a low level (zero) and not turning off 3D NR using this switch? :) if setting 3D NR to zero would disable all 3D, then there will be no separate 3D NR switch.. it has separate functionality -...

    ok, so Large Scale AI models are available, simply you have more false positives on them.. False positives from WHAT? What objects creates them? Any footage / pics of alarms? Also did you have enabled animal detection? I remember that you reported false positives on this scene and didn't...

    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...

    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...
