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

    yes.. it's PTRZ functionality... HIK have the same limit... in normal PTZ cams you have separate strong motors for each axis - X, Y, Z (zoom) and F (focus).. they are designed to work 24/7 for years.. in PTRZ cams you have shared small motors - like in varifocal cams where Z (zoom) and F...

    Dahua HDBW5442EP-ZES3 vs HDBW5459E1PZHE-IL

    stay with 5442-S3.. at night it will switch to IR and will work.. 5459 is a hybrid camera - can work both in color mode (with white light) and IR mode. But it has worse image quality at night in comparison to 5442-S3.. there is a long thread...

    Dahua WizMind Series NVR Powerful Hardware Held Back by Outdated Firmware & Poor GUI

    Be beware no one tested this firmware on 608-XI yet here... And for some reason (HW/SOC problems??) we needed wait for this firmware on 608-XI for almost one year... we have tested some BETA firmwares from Andy, but they were different... So you test it at your own risk...

    Dahua Xinghan AI NVRs

    Edge problems is on all Dahua web interfaces - due some windows update.. Search forum history for that... I don't recommend updating older 5xxx-EI to new NVR firmware. There are many small bugs or missing features in different places. Dahua didn't have good 2025 for new products. Firmware...

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

    I wrote about this last week on second thread.. From 7459-IL Spec Sheet: Reading spec sheet, I'm 99% sure that those 7459 cams are using NEW GENERATION of OmniVision OS04J10 (previous OS04A10 was used in 5442-S3/7442-X).. TimeDivision Exposure and very high WDR were always a thing of 4 Mpx...

    T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ

    Big question here is 'all problems with WizColor' is simply from different/bad video processing or there is worse image sensor or open aperture create problems with softness of image (last one can be very true for IR). If there is worse image/optics, then worth checking should be 5459-IL, which...

    Hard drive recommendations

    depending model & size they can be much or less noisier... You must read manufacture spec sheet in PDF.. noise levels are different for different size (TB) models in each line depending how many magnetic discs & heads are inside..

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

    lights reflection typical to open aperture (F1.0).. 5x59 in bullets have some mitigation for that (angled sensor), but in turrets is no space for that. it's first -IL reported on forum, where you bought it? please put video footage with people/car movement at night...

    Dahua released on website new firmware for TIOC-PRO (IPC-HX3XXX-Goethe_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V3.140.0000000.21.R.251206), which have also AI-ISP on/off switch in configuration page. Interesting is that after upgrading from older firmware, this switch will be default to OFF... Looks like Dahua...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    It’s not ISO, it’s always HDR On PRO models you can’t simply compare ISO by comparing images. This don’t work like this

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Why 6ms? You are from the US - so 8.3ms (1/120s)... With today modern LED lighting you can even put European 10ms... 50/60Hz (100/120Hz) light blinking from electric grid is no more with LED lights... If you see ghosting on moving objects, then this means there is missing light.. More IR or...

    3D noise reduction should always be off

    All modern cameras in mobiles / drones / sport cameras and CCTV cams are using some form of 3DNR. Without 3DNR you will see HOW CRAPY modern sensors are and how much noise they produce... even at day condition (like cloudy sky etc).. Only true profesional video cams with much much bigger &...

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-T54PRO-AS 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP WizColor

    5xPRO cams have two NEW video image processing STAGES.. One is AI-ISP with AI based 2D & 3D noise reduction.. Problematic but now can be disabled... Second I call "always HDR" - which is strong local (per image region) gamma manipulation with 3D LUT color mapping and auto brightness algorithm...

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

    Reading this forum thread and post like that I see two problems: 1. AI-ISP and the beautiful, colorful, bright static images this technology can generate have incredibly inflated the expectations you and several similar people on this forum have. The truth is that the 5459-PRO uses the same...

    In Portugal, I simply go to pharmacy every 2 months, give my ID number and without any prescription buy the same meds as last time (hypertension) paying full price (because I don't have new prescription) at 30 Euro range (for 2 months)...

    the same story was with full Video Meta Data on 5442 & 7442.. enabling VMD corrected camera manual settings (shutter times etc) to catch objects in motion.. in case AI-ISP this behavior can be explained by fact that AI-ISP (2D & 3D NR) are USING IVS data - to localize on video picture moving...
