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

For those interested, here's the "version numbers" that change when you push to the latest firmware from @EMPIRETECANDY - changes in BOLD.

I applied the (smaller - 123MByte) "IPC" file first and then the (746MByte) firmware.bin second. The camera rebooted each time. After that (per comment from Andy) I did a Maintenance Center->Maintenance->Default->Default (NOT Factory Default) which resets most everything except "network, user management, and so on" ... and then reconfigured the camera. LOL a "good test" of your setup procedure! ;-)

As others have mentioned, there is a new option under Camera->Exposure->AI-ISP which you can toggle on/off ... which I think is the "magic" button to disable some of the "wizardy"

I haven't looked "enough" to say if it's better/worse ... just letting folks know the upgrade was easy to apply and appears to be working fine.

BTW, kinda interesting that the "System Version" for Andy's firmware is ".5.T" dated 2025-11-27 ... whereas the Dahua firmware (which I have NOT tested) is "4.R" dated 2025-11-11.

I am so glad to see positive things here about Andy's current test firmware. Thanks as always, to members for taking the time to evaluate and post their findings, especially bigredfish. I especially appreciate his consistent approach of sharing the video and still imagery of scenarios and settings (love those) along with his explanations. This helps me to both understand and learn (My being a dense, bone-head, thick-skull, chuckle-head, ignoramus of a newbie).

And of course, thanks to Emperor Andy, for pushing for these improvements and for making these services and products available to us.

I would wait before jumping to any conclusions just yet, it is my opinon that significant firmware revisions or more likely hardware upgrades (54Pro V2 or similar) will be required before these cameras are performing where they should, particularly at night. Just my opinion of course, I have been testing the new firmware for over 24 hours now.

If you live in an area with good ambient lighting, street or otherwise, then these could work out OK for you. If you have little to no ambient light, or depend on floodlights activated by motion, go straight for the S3 or possibly 4K series, this is assuming the target range is more than 8-10 feet. For close up work as has been noted previously, porches, entrance doors and so on, the 54Pro will work pretty well.

This exactly

I’ll add to details on why I agree in the Z4 thread shortly
 
Just noticed this minor change/update - under AI->IVS->Global Config, there are some new options at the bottom of the page to set the image resolutions/control type/level

Perhaps waayyy more interesting is that there is an option at the top to enable "Large-Scale AI models"

Noted a few pages back on P_ost #1377

Large scale models has been available since at least the 10/28 FW
