Dahua NVR5208-XI (WizMind) — worth it or better options?

I'm meaning the ability to see an image of a person, click on it, and then instantly see a snapshot of every other time that person has been detected by a camera on site.

Clicking a person from playback and searching by that person across cameras is AcuPick.

So this is definately supported on the EI or EI2 models? I simply can't get it to work but it works fine on the XI model.

I'm guessing the NVR -EI you have either requires AcuPick processing to be done by the camera (supported camera), or it needs a firmware update to get the feature.

Yes, it supported...

You must enable AcuPick mode on EI NVR's in NVR SmartPlan... And also AcuPick must be enabled on cameras (cam must support it)...
XI and EI2 don't have those requirement (AcuPick is always enabled, XI/EI2 can add AcuPick to a few non AcuPick cams)...

I'm not meaning the AcuPick search capabilities - I'm meaning the ability to see an image of a person, click on it, and then instantly see a snapshot of every other time that person has been detected by a camera on site.

This is AcuPick Search by image function (aka AcuPick 1.0)...

Yes - AcuPick must be supported by cam..

XI & EI2 models have limited capability to add AcuPick processing to a few non AcuPick cams.. But not EI (it's 2022 model with not so strong SOC / AI processor)..

does anyone have a comparison to how Andy's NVR16CH-AI NVR model equivalent is on the Luminys side? I'm guessing R52-16PA but can anyone confirm? thanks

it's not - decoding capabilities are half of 5xxx-EI (-AI models in Andy shop)..
And 5xxx-EI is old model (2022), replaced by new 5xxx-EI2 (AI-S2 in Andy shop, 2x more AI limits, bigger decoding capabilities, some extra AI functionality)..

ps. I'm not 100% sure, but as I understand Luminys vs Dahua situation, Luminys NVR will not support Dahua cams as NATIVE cam (with all capabilities)... They use own private protocol implementation. Only ONVIF without any functionality.

Luminys vs Dahua situation

Luminsys are not manufactured by Dahua directly.
They are manufactured by a separate entity.
