If it takes 20,000 lumens to activate color I don’t want it
Call me master of gain and shutter, magician from china, let me show you some of my wizcolor magic

I'm wanting the PRO to work like the old cameras with regard to color and bw switching and the IR lights. The only way I found to do this was to use Self Adaptive mode, and set the warm white lights to manual and 0% intensity.
After seeing this its obvious that they try to fool us all.
It must be the same problem where people here use shutter of 1ms and it still does not look like 1ms in comparison to all known models.
So i believe they know exactly what is going on with this model.
Hope they send a firmware where they just remove all the bullshit they worked so hard on.
I think they only test the cam in china public areas, which are bright as day and thought the software is the best magic they made.
Its just sad that they already big advertised this bullshit.

Getting comfortable
Just get the news this Wednesday will have a temporary fw for tesing, when we add back the enable/disable AI-SIP in Q1, most problems will be solved, but this need lots of testings with the chips suppliers, so will cost bit more time to get a good firmware.
Thanks a lot for guys' testing and helping.

Also have potentially on Jan.1st ^^ Will push them to do fast.Is that Q1 as in potentially not until end of March 2026?
Andy, but they have SECOND video processing pipeline without AI-ISP in this firmware..
All dual light (5x59-IL) models DON'T have AI-ISP and they use some form of more classic video processing...
almost the same hardware.. the same firmware..
They simply can add option to use video pipeline from -IL models for -PRO models...
They make all AI-SIP enable as default, so that is why the still pics are crazy good till the pic have moving objects. I willl focus to make the 54pro one working, other models i don't have the time to help them out.
If these models are updated in the future, what are typical changes that may be applied? For instance, when 5442/541R received "S2", "S3" suffixes, what changes were made? I assume the changes were made to the hardware, or am I wrong?
There is no change on hardware, i think some basic codes will be changed, so need time to Verify it, i will keep posting the latest progress here.
Dahua designates a different chipset/sensor/whatever you want to call it by the S# designation, so the same model could have different firmware for different chipsets used during the life of that model. Usually it is a result of the previous chipset not being available and/or they went with a different vendor. Sometimes the newer chipset is better and sometimes it is worse.
Here is an example - the HFW3549T1-AS-PV is available in 2 versions of firmware across 3 different chipsets for the same model camera:
- HFW3549T1-AS-PV-S4 uses the HX3XXX-Taurus firmware.
- HFW3549T1-AS-PV and IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV-S3 use the HX5XXX-Volt firmware
So until Dahua changes the chipset of this model, any firmware updates will simply keep the model number the same with firmware revision numbers.
Oh, wait, I just reread both posts. "chipset/sensor" caught my attention. If my understanding is correct, this is a very significant change with varying possibilities, better or worse. Interesting.
I think they need to release the manual settings to the users, right now the manual settings is badly effected/limited by the magic night color at night, so that is why tring all settings and can't beat down the 54 cameras.
