    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    @Arjun How do you have the LEDs come on when IVS detects motion ? Through the Home Assistant integration (GitHub - rroller/dahua: Dahua Camera and Doorbell Home Assistant Integration), you can control the illumination of some Dahua camera, but unfortunately it is not (yet) compatible with...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    So I raised the issue of Day/Night settings for the IPC-Color4M-T to Andy (camera switching to Day settings just after the warm light is activated). He said he forwarded it to Dahua. In the meantime, I am back to Auto settings and it somehow works. As advised, I compensated the weak warm light...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Ok when I say "good exposure", it means that it is acceptable (not fully black). But I still have work to do to see what is the best combination to work around this bug. The exposure is flickering between states for one second before settling down on the final exposure. For just a glimpse, I...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    More details about the bug: it is related to the working mode Day/Night. In the middle of the night, I have half a second of the Night settings and then it is switching to the Day settings. Which is why the light is going from bright to dim and why the exposure is going to under exposed...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Ok I found the bug. I noticed that the warm light is bright for around 0.5 seconds then it is switching to a much lower brightness (which is probably why the picture goes black as the exposure is set to the former brightness). It is happening when I am changing the IVS rule, for instance for a...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I updated to the latest firmware (with AI-ISP disabled) and I got the same issue: as soon as the "Warm Light" is activated, everything goes to black after half a second (like if the camera was trying to under expose). Anyone has any idea of what is happening ?

    Ok I sent you a direct message with the link. Sorry I am not yet comfortable sharing video online on public forum.

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I'll have to test myself (as a subject) to see in which condition this weird behavior is happening exactly. Normally the warm light is working correctly when I am not too far (around 5 meters). But I haven't tested myself when I am a bit far away. I am using the Home Assistant integration and I...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Sure, thanks ! How can I send you the video ? It is around 9 MB. Honestly I don't think there is any real risk (especially given how bad the video is) but you never know here. Have you seen what kind of sign is necessary to display when you have cameras outside ? This is ridiculous...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Got my first interesting real use case for my IPC-COLOR4M-TL (3.6mm). One person walking in front of my house around 3am, around 10 meters from the camera. It was a total disaster... The camera was set up with "Smart Illumination", so at first the camera was in IR mode: the person walking is...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I tested and it works surprisingly well. I disabled Frigate motion detection and motion analysis and only enable it when the camera is detecting a person. Delay is less than one second between camera detection and start of recording. That way in case of fog, as long as the camera doesn't detect...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    On both my cameras, the fog/mist looks a bit more like the video from @bigredfish. I can see the individual particles. So if this was like that on the older cameras as well, there is no use to raise the issue with Dahua: there is not much of a difference (at least on my cameras).

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Yes I have almost exactly the same issue as viewed on the bottom left image (T54PRO). It looks like a storm. But to be fair, on your example it is difficult to conclude that it is the T54PRO AI processing, as the T54PRO is the only one with IR illumination. Do we have an example of older camera...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Yes I realize that now, my mistake. I guess I'll have to see how I can configure Frigate to use Dahua IVS instead of its own motion detection.

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I don't mind that the video or image quality are bad. But the camera is artificially generating a "storm of movements" in the video which is picked up by my NVR (Frigate) and then it goes on overdrive to analyze continuously the whole night. It makes me regret not using the onboard AI by using...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    This night is really foggy and it is driving my IPC-Color4M-TZ + IPC-Color4M-T completely crazy (I am the settings from @tmxv4128 but I think the result would be the same with the default settings). Looking at the video streams, it looks like a gigantic storm is happening outside (with big...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Thanks a lot, I copy-pasted exactly your settings (except for LDC-on, I do not have this option). For the camera Working mode, are you using "Self-adaptive", "Day/Night" or "Customized Scene" ? Is the encoding making a lot of difference ? I was hoping to keep h265 as compression, as it is saving...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    I bought both the IPC-Color4M-TZ (IPC-HDW3449H-ZAS-PV-PRO) and the IPC-Color4M-T(IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-PRO) 3.6mm. As these are my first cameras, I have no basis for comparison. Did you keep the defauts settings for the image quality or encoding ? If you have any tips to improve the image quality...

    No motion detection on standalone IPC-HDW3449H-ZAS-PV-PRO (IPC-Color4M-TZ)

    No motion detection on standalone IPC-HDW3449H-ZAS-PV-PRO (IPC-Color4M-TZ)

    A cat has been detected as human (Intrusion mode) yesterday, we'll see if that happens often. I was also surprised to see that we cannot define several time slots on the same day for a rule: It has to be a single slot per day. So I had to create a second identical rule and assign it to a...

    No motion detection on standalone IPC-HDW3449H-ZAS-PV-PRO (IPC-Color4M-TZ)

    Thanks it works perfectly now ! Is it worth activating "Large-Scale AI Models" on the AI Config|Smart Plan|Global Config ? I read that it may perhaps increase detection time and remove false-positive. It may be useful but I don't want to activate it if it will increase power consumption for...

    No motion detection on standalone IPC-HDW3449H-ZAS-PV-PRO (IPC-Color4M-TZ)

    Hello, I just bought the IPC-HDW3449H-ZAS-PV-PRO (IPC-Color4M-TZ) and I am using it at the moment in standalone mode (without NVR). I tested it a little with my Frigate, and it is working beautifully (even the 2-way audio). But mainly I am using the web interface. I wanted use some features...

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    @user8963 The standalone VTO2202F-P has a better camera than the modular VTO4202F-P ? Do you perhaps have some screenshots comparing the two ? It would be a bummer because I thought that the camera was really good (even if for now I don't use it a lot). @Badstraw Yes I am using the script to...

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    Yes someone should post an update comparing properly Dahua and Hikvision with the latest models and firmwares. At that time I had to take a decision based on the available data, perhaps today I would take a different decision. For the standalone mode, I think the idea is that the Dahua Outdoor...

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    Indeed I thought that having the video was interesting, but in practice I don't care. My area is quite safe and seeing the people doesn't bring much to the table. Being able to recognize a person is a minimum, but targeting Full HD or 4k is perhaps a bit overkill. But there are some people who...

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    Dahua interface is really not that nice and it is really easy to get confused. However the hardware (the VTO) seems to be good (time will tell), and quite flexible: this was the deciding factor for me between Dahua and Hikvision. In the thread I referenced above, there were the following statements:

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    Oh perhaps you are right. But for me this is also a non-issue as it is not possible to approach the door in complete darkness. So I had to put a light outside anyway. If they cannot find the outdoor station (which is huge in my opinion), I think I have a problem with my guests ;-)
