IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

^yes backlight would help.

My suggestion is to try each one and use it as low as you can go. For example WDR at 50 may look great with a static image but will be blur with motion.

Make sure to test each one with motion.

Its a matter of not having a choice if you want to see faces in a backlit scene.

Try WDR at 10-20 and adjust, the least the better. Another option is SSA backlight (Not AI SSA)

Both can cause some blur if you arent running a fast enough shutter. For daytime I run 0-2 outside, I'd try at least 0-4

No backlight

WDR 20

SSA

What settings do you use during the day SSA OR WDR?

 

[bigredfish]

On that camera SSA

Neither will be good at night as you’ll brighten the scene but create too much blur

I needed to use WDR 25%, SSA made the image even darker. Unfortunately, you can see that the sharpness of faces decreases due to WDR. Unfortunately, I haven't found a better solution in this situation yet.

Wonder if a Motion Sensor Light would help during the day. If the Motion did not work have a Timer Light...



Guess you could do like the License Plate Readers and shoot a Flash of Light in their face, lol

hmmm that doesn’t sound right. Maybe try a fixed shutter 1/120 for starts

Does your camera have Backlight SSA?

 

[CCTVThomas]

I set the fixed shutter to 1/120, but SSA still made the image of the inside door darker than without SSA. I just adjusted the lighting spotlights so that they shine on your face when you enter the store, hopefully that helps.

 

[bigredfish]

Cool, still something aint right with your WDR, that's exactly the type of scene its made for.

 

[wittaj]

Do you have the AI codec or AI SSA or something else turned on also?

NVR use this one

So this is the NVR I bought, and was wondering if the HDMI port on the back is 4k capable?

I would hope so as I bought 4k cameras and hope to stream 4k quality to my monitor/tv.

My tv is showing the resolution of this NVR in 4k for anyone else who was wondering.

I am using 4k cables as well, so make sure you are too.

Do I need to plug in the yellow & white audio cables to get sound, or is sound also recorded through the Cat6?

Do these turrets have the ability to record sound, but do not have a speaker for me to 2 way talk do they?
