Yes, but that was before Ken added "Action sets" Now you no longer need to mess with PTZ presets on each camera, one camera can change all the cams day/night profiles with a lot less clutter.@bp20089 has instructions for something like this in his post where he said he has stopped using his sunrise/sunset app.
Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset
I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...ipcamtalk.com

So I have always tried to just use one profile. I would basically set up a profile that's best for night time and use only that with my 4K T's and S3's. Of course daytime looks a little bright/washed out in non-shaded areas. Today I started playing around with daytime profiles. Most of my cameras look out away from my home where the area of importance is open with no buildings etc blocking light. On the camera I am experimenting with (4K T) I can actually put the shutter setting down to 0-1 ms and that actually looks best for freeze framing. Plus the actual complete scene looks just fine although maybe slightly dimmer than what you see with your naked eye. And this is in the cloudy dark pacific northwest.
Does anyone run their shutter at this setting?

Yeah same here but I just thought I would tinker with some day profile settings and see if it can be improved any. You can almost close the shutter down and still get a fine picture.
What are your shutter and gain settings? I live out in a forest so it is black dark here at night. I use LED soffit lighting instead of the built in LED's on the 4K T's. So my shutter settings are 0-16 ms and gain slightly above 50 to brighten things slightly. Any lower on the shutter and it starts getting too dark. These night time settings have always made the daytime pic a little bright and washed out in some areas.
