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

I did catch my neighbor's cat, but it did not trigger the IVS. I also for the last 2 mornings the camera catches this lady walking to work, and it triggers the camera's IVS. But as you can see in my settings, it shouldn't of. I have no other motion detection on??

Pretty sure the white LED is not associated with IVS. At least it’s not with the 3449 Pro.
It’s a bit deceiving, but unless there is an Event Linkage directly associated with the IVS rule, (on the 3449) Smart Illumination is what’s activating the white LEDs which is an all area internal sensor not specific to IVS or any region. Think of it as SMD which is why the lady triggered it?
UNLESS The “warning light” ? May be the white LEDs on the 5459PRO? In which case they’re different

What exposure are you running on the top video? Fluffy looks a little blurry
This looks quite comparable to me, pretty damn close depending on settings for shutter speed etc.
The light levels on the Pro in both B&W and colour look way off, hope this is a bug, surely it cannot be this bad, there is another video posted on Andy's channel which shows the Pro looking as expected in B&W and colour mode with little to no ambient light.

Not with an IVS rule …
And you can’t define ROI or detection area with the 3449Pro as far as the Smart Illumination is concerned
Actually, that’s only true for older models like the 3449Pro.
The WizMind 5 Series can trigger Smart Dual Light and other linkage actions directly from IVS events.
The IVS rule itself acts as the ROI — confirmed in the Dahua NVR User Manual V1.0.0 (2025, Ch. 6.1.3 & 6.2.1) and the 5459HP datasheet.
It does use the warm leds as a warning light. The lights will turn back off once the IVS rule ends. I may of found why it triggered as I had the global enabled (see pics) The exposure is all default auto. I will tweak that once I get a few more events. I may have to increase the IVS sensitivity as well, as the cat did not trigger. Here are a few more settings to help explain.

The forum wouldn't let me attach more settings pics for some reason again. This global tab...do we need to configure it or disable it, never could figure that one out? I do not have SMD enabled and am wondering if the global setting is the reason.
False trigger at image edge
Zoom in (4–6 mm)
Mis-classification (human/animal)
Disable “Animal”
Too sensitive bounding boxes
Sensitivity 3–4
Motion blur / ghosting
EIS off, 3D-NR Medium

Mine ROI is not enabled. So am I understanding you right, I need to enable it and draw the area where my rule is to eliminate the false trigger?
Sry for confusion
ROI is used only for motion detection or image exposure, not for IVS/AI events.
For IVS (Tripwire, Intrusion, etc.), the rule itself acts as the ROI — the camera’s AI still analyzes the entire frame to detect and track objects, and then checks if any of those bounding boxes cross your IVS line or zone.
Right?
So the fix isn’t enabling ROI.
You could try:
zoom in a bit,
disable “Animal,”
reduce IVS sensitivity,
and keep your Tripwire line tighter to the actual area you want to protect.

Did the IVS rule actually trip on the lady? I mean the IVS rule flashed red and recorded as an IVS event?
If not, I’m willing to bet $100 the IVS rule you showed at the steps did not activate the warning light and no change is necessary other than to increase sensitivity for fluffy (I run most of mine at 8-9)
I’m betting the global Smart Illumination settings which encompass the entire FOV picked her up and kicked on the warm/white LEDs

Sounds right...I'll try to disable the global AI and see what happens.

Though it sounds like the new 5 series can activate the white light via Event Linkage, it kinda depends on whether you use that by itself and/or in conjunction with the Smart Illumination setting.
For my example in a little more enclosed space, I want the lights to come on before they trip IVS, 1- to allow the lighting change to occur before target hits IVS to insure a clean image, 2- because if bad guy is standing 10ft to the side of my tripwire and not activating it, I still want the light to come on and see his face better anywhere he may be in the FOV
Scene specific I suppose
