Hi. I am a new Dahua users. I have a bunch of the 4Mp wiz color night color cameras.

I am curious if there are optimal balanced settings for night color cameras? On one hand I like the visibility but then if someone walks by the camera their face gets blurry. I have found articles where I mess with the shutter speed. 1/50 seems like a decent balance. Or is that too slow ? 1/120 is pretty dark. I have some landscape lighting but that’s about it.

The internal camera helps but is there a way to activate the internal camera only when motion is detected?

And are there any default / optimal settings that people typically use? Things I can play around with ?
Thank you so much !
