Are you using SmartPSS to edit these settings, or right through the chrome or safari browser?
In chrome, I have to use the extension NACL Web Plug-in. Is there another plug in I should be using to edit this in chrome, or should I just use Safari?

The proof is in the picture, as they say. This is why I didn't hesitate one bit to order two the moment I saw the photos Nayr posted here. If you're very keen in photography, you don't need a lot of convincing and testing once you see the results.5231 zoomed all the way out....
It's amazing what this thing is capable of. I realize I don't have much to base my opinion off of since I've only just gotten into security cameras, but damn if this thing isn't awesome..
BTW, appreciate the zoomed out photo...now I know what 97º HFOV looks like.

Chrome killed NPAPI plugins, gotta use the NACL Web Plugin w/Chrome.. Safari and IE are the only browsers left that work with the NPAPI plugin.

Is there a way to put This NACL plugin on the toolbar. It works with others( 1password, MightyText, UASpoofer,) but I cant get it to work with NACL. I have to go to settings, extentions, etc, to get this to open up.
Is there another easy way to open up the camera website in NacL?

I just know tomorrow night I'm going to be wishing I had bought more than one lol damn chinese new year. I hope dahua's just keep getting better and better.I'll try to contain my excitement for this low light BEAST. This freaking thing can see in the dark, without the IR's. Frankly, I'm in disbelief how Dahua was able to pull this off. Attached are some pictures from this camera at full zoom where I plan to keep it, this camera to match the FOV and settings of my current camera (Q See Dahua 3mp mini bullet), just mentioned current 3mp camera view, and pictures with the most equivalent actual stills camera I have (Sony RX100iii) to match current darkness and view from the 5231. I didn't want to bust out the dslr b/c that wouldn't be fair, but my RX100iii has a 1" sensor and is one of the best, albeit expensive, point and shoots around. Sorry if that's alot to digest, but soon it'll make sense.
A little background, I realize I could go a bit slower on my shutter in order to drop the gain but the cars in the neighborhood are on the accelerator as they pass my house so I need to keep it at 1/60 at a minimum to get decent identifiable vehicles.
Without further ado.....
The scene, as seen from my RX100 and as close as to the current brightness of the street. Sorry I didn't have my ladder so I tried to recreate the FOV as best as possible.
EXIF: 1/30s, f/2.8, ISO 3200
Dahua 5231 current view fully zoomed in...
Shutter - 1/100, Gain 0-90, NR 40
RX100iii trying to match the 5231 for scene brightness. Had to go to 1/20, f/2.8, ISO 6400.
RX100 matching the 1/100 shutter speed, I had to go to ISO 12800 to get anywhere close to the same exposure. No noise reduction.
Current 3mp Q See Dahua mini bullet fixed lens at 3.6mm from same location
1/50, Gain 0-95, Noise Reduction 50, HLC 5
Dahua 5231 matching the same settings as above, hahahhahahahahhahah
5231 zoomed all the way out....

Snowing at 3am, and with default settings (auto-exposure, auto-color) it looks like daytime:
with no IR on you cant even see it snowing, on the other hand my cams w/IR on are nearly blind.
