No, I get that, which is what I meant -on one camera I may end up disabling IR entirely, so no reason to be concerned with smart IR (for that one cam at least) -but the description of a sort of adaptive/agc (tied to face recognition?) is very helpful - thanks again! So, you mention running in...

Thank you - so it might be worth the risk of updating I guess. I'm finding the IR is creating cloudy images in one cam - likely due to where it's mounted (possibly complicated by autofocus -not sure yet). The other cam seems okay with & w/o IR - but I'll need to learn what smart IR really...

Hmmm.... I just bought 2 IPC-T541R-ZE-S3 to supplement 2 HDW5231RP-ZE cameras I've had for a couple years or so - and using them with BI5 So - using BI5, as opposed to a Dahua NVR - do I have anything to gain by using Andy's S3 firmware update? Don't know if smart IR is functional with BI5...

Hello again - I've got the camera feed working again in the BI UI (console?), and I know what did it, but not why. The problem I was having (until 10 minutes ago) was one of the 5231 cameras was appearing as large pixelated gray 'noise'. No discernable image. That was how i would have...

Wow - thanks for the fast reply! So, I quickly went to look that up, to see what that means, and it seems like you're probably right (and i can't check it now, since the wife is watching TV - I've got the HP direct to the AVR receiver), but I still got the pixel/static when I set the camera to...

So, I have 3 cameras: Two (2) Dahua 5231 using POE switch on it's own VLAN, and One (1) old 640x480 Foscam, over WiFi (also on VLAN) All three working clearly from our iPhones (BI Security app), but I can launch the BI software from the HP (where these cameras are recording 24/7) one of the...
