    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    On last thought before bedtime: While I understand and DID rightly show a test with ONLY the IR from the 54PRO on, I would venture a guess that most folks who have a clue, in most scenes, have an added overview camera pointing in the same general direction as their highly zoomed in Z4. So...

    So any suggestions on the settings for the 54PRO to improve the image?

    And in this one, the 5442 S3 IR is still OFF Changed Exposure on the 54PRO to 20ms per a request. Honestly, and like I said weeks ago, its not THAT bad. For those who deem the image acceptable and want the advantage of the LED's and mic, and fancy AI stuff (The Large Scale AI models produces...

    Ok in this next test, the only change is that I turned OFF the IR from the bottom 5442 S3

    I have had no need for external IR in that scene. The onboards do just fine. In fact I have to run OverExposure (not tonight for testing) so that someone walking in from the driveway isnt washed out But yes, with enough added IR or ambient white lights I can get the 54PRO closer to that of the...

    Beauty shot from the 54PRO ZE I installed in place of a 5442 S2 in the backyard. (also with the new 1217 fw) I'll save that test for later this weekend but same results. pretty still image...but..... * The new FW DID help the red tones

    Fyi All targets are 55-60 ft from the camera in both scenes

    I started this way again because in my real world I have a 7442 at top in that exact same spot overseeing the driveway. So it mirrors my actual setup But yeah less IR should make a difference

    It'll take me an hour or so to tweek settings and perform a couple more tests One thing that will be interesting is that currently they are BOTH benefiting from each other's IR. I'll isolate them and we'll see how they do on their own. Any Bets? Here's my other 5442 Z4-S3 I bought to...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    They are damn close. Damn close It aint a FOV problem and if I zoom to tighten the 54PRO anymore I'll lose the top. They are different and have different FOVs natively and I'm out of room to manually turn the 54PRO That aint the problem... I will attempt to work with the 54PRO settings and...

    Maybe I need to move them to where I have 100-150ft straight shot. We all know that the further away from the target, less zoom, things get easier because the level of detail goes away. Marketing videos 101

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    We come from different angles. Its interesting to learn how each treats exposure, or NR, or Sharpness but ultimately not important if I can dial it in to the best image on a moving target. I only care about the best possible moving picture. Every single spec on heads up identical settings can...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I get you, I understand but I always set a range to allow for overcast/low light and bright sunshine. The camera will by default go towards the highest exposure value Remember I prefer testing with real world settings and try to dial in the best image with motion vs comparing how different one...

    Need Some IVS Help - Rule Doesn't Seem to be Working

    My 4K-Ts don’t activate on critters usually Does your normally activate on critters? Did the Intrusion zone pick it up? Also tripwires can be tricky. There is a 3D element to them where the deer could have literally walked “under” that rule. Try doing your zig zag horizontally vs vertical...
