Well, Andy (@EMPIRETECANDY ) came to my rescue (again). Using the T54Pro and Fw1028, when you choose to ADD a new IVS Tripwire, it makes a new horizontal line to start. If you just edit that line, you cannot zig zag. But if you DELETE that line, and start a new one, you CAN zig zag that one, so all good! Trick is to delete the suggested new line and re add a new one. Thanks Andy!

good tip.

Even that IR scene is aweful suggesting the IR LED's are weak in nature or the output isn't 100%. I'm afraid that just killed all hope for me and these cameras. As BigRedish said, most cameas can look good at night with a slow enough shutter / high enough gain. But that doesn't give a good picture unless you're into star viewing. The sad reality is a 4kt would be all over that scene. It might take a little more light to get a good picture at ultra low shutter, but I'm going to estimate the light from those garden lights would give a usable picture at probably 8ms and maybe even lower. Just shows you can't beat sensor size / sensitivity with a camera. Ultimately as I alluded to above, all the AI is likely doing in my opinion is adjusting for brightness and contrast and then using intelligent filtering / interpolation to remove most of the induced noise back out. A nice trick but that may improve pictures ovber a non AI camera, but ultimately one that can't beat physics.
