    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    That's my dilemma. I have to get a bunch of cameras. The 2 I have are just for testing before I buy a bunch to install at my work. I was hoping to get one brand of these. I have all Dahua there now. I haven't experienced the breaking of alarm manager yet, but I've only gone through one update on...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I took the images at that distance to see where the T54IR started falling off. Past that point, the subject becomes less identifiable on both cameras, but the T54IR fails to identify first. If I optically zoom in, the FOV decreases, so the area I'm able to identify people in shrinks. This is...

    Not varifocal, which is what I need for multiple locations.

    At that distance, there is a noticeable difference. The further the distance, the more noticeable it becomes.

    Yes. At the longer distances, the G6 Pro had better identification capabilities.

    Below was their response after the last changes were made. I won't return it because I do like the better daytime identification distance. But, I am not happy with the nighttime performance. I am still searching for a camera that can equal the daytime performance of the G6 Pro and the nighttime...

    Not up close, but like @Arjun said, there is some the further out you go. I'm going to be making some changes like I said in one of the posts above to try enhanced bitrate zones and the masking of zones to where it doesn't overexpose other areas.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I noticed the most difference when I zoomed in to where the bush directly below it was not in the image. I believe it was overexposing the scene. I moved the FPS to 30. I also have it set to frame clarity mode. I bumped the video compression to custom and moved it as far up as possible. The...

    I did some digging to interpret what the debug data at the top of the images mean. This is what I found: HQ: Indicates that the camera is currently using its High Quality stream profile E: Stands for Enhanced Video Encoding CS:[32-16000-16000]:00: Represents the Camera-to-Server connection...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    The only reason I bought the two for comparing, is I want the best combo for usability and image quality. The price is just a range I'm comfortable with spending up to. I don't want to go to the extreme ranges of some systems, even though those may be better quality and more user friendly. I'm...

    There was some. I moved the camera out towards the edge of the eave, and zoomed in to not catch so much of the plant on the ground below it. The night moving images have been much better since then.

    WDR set to 25 (I'm hesitant to leave it there on sunny days). Gamma set to 45

    I have a dark side of the house when the sun is out. I just dropped the WDR to 30 on the T54IR and got these images.

    I have it on Standard. Vivid looked oversaturated.
