Also it resets the image settings when you turn Metadata off too. It has a built in exposure setting that makes the image darker and noisier. And yes not having auto focus and zoom settings in the camera settings is a real pain. In fact the whole new UI is horrid if you ask me. I wish they would at least give us a CLASSIC theme. The fancy new one crashes my phone alot and I use that primarily in the field to setup the cameras. Never had issues with the original firmware. Even on the PCs I have used its very buggy UI. Sometimes you have to refresh multiple times to see changes. As techs we dont need fancy animations. We need speed. Especially when standing in a stairwell setting up 30 cameras over wifi.

is that unique to that model?
I have a lot of cameras with the new UI and have no issues at all, none of those you mention either. But I dont try to manage the camera or NVR UI solely by phone either...

I have to admit it's been a disappointment thus far having spent so much money on investing into Dahua flagship products to come to the realization that the firmware is the main frustration considering that Accupick 2.0 has been released 1y ago and yet the 608 XI still dont have any support. The false positives with my 2 dogs are insane where my setup is mainly having Color4K-T and T58IR-SE cams. There is so much you can do with the size filters and the logical step would be the experience database. Speaking with others enthusiast locally in South Africa they ditch Dahua for this exact reason, and apparently Ajax has better overall product support and housekeeping, how true that is I dont know.
Looking forward to the day when my investment would have feature parity across the product line.

The 608-XI has a strange status with Dahua – it's supposedly a top-of-the-line NVR, but for some reason Dahua won't publicly release firmware with the new functionality for it.
CUSTOM (not public) firmware versions are available, where the full functionality of AcuPick 2.0 (and many other features from the 5xxx-EI) is available. Contact your Dahua dealer (if it was Andy, they'll definitely send you the firmware).
Regarding cameras and AcuPick – on currently available 2-3 years old camera models, AcuPick tends to catch a lot of false positives – dogs, cats, moving trees. Disabling AcuPick eliminates most of these issues.
The solution is to increase the minimum object size in individual IVS and Video Meta Data rules on each camera. This solution works very well – I've implemented it on hundreds of cameras.
One week ago Dahua released new WizColor 5x59-PRO (5xPRO) line of cams, which will replace 3 years old 54IR/58IR.
they have better night performance with AI-ISP video processing, support strong hybrid lights (IR + white, white can be activated by human motion). But main difference is much more powerful SOC (chip inside with all processors) which can handle new much bigger and detailed AI trained models to decrease a lot a false positives. Also new camera have full support for animals - not only can detect them but can categorize them (dog vs cat vs bird vs sheep etc).

Thank you. Appreciate the insight. I'll definitely reach out to Dahua. Hopefully locally they will know about the custom firmware.
