Thanks for the informative reply, I took a look at the links you added as well, pretty well sums it up I had read about the trap of chasing higher MP so probably should have known better but was thinking with a motion activated LED for additional light I may be able to live with the reduced...

Thanks again mate, was doing my head in trying to.work it out, never occurred to me that it didn't have that feature being a new 4k camera, ahh well least it wasn't user / installer error. Have a good one

You would have thought yes. But obviously has some sort of detection, as I set up trip wire and had the red and blue leds and siren working with movement, I would have thought that would link to turning on and off the white led with movement as well

Well that explains that then, that would make sense I suppose, light stays off when dark, not even IR, then when movement or an image is needed it turns on the led and stays on until it's light enough around it and turns off. Well that's just great! Thought the 8mp would be an upgrade to my 5...

I see, so this version doesn't have intelligent illumination (and can't be upgraded ?) Reading the specs it says 'smart illumination' but also says illumination 'on / off - auto - manual', So not that smart?!?! But that would explain why there is no 'intelligent illumination' option. But then...

This one?

This is all i can find (btw appreciate your help)

Yes ,sorry that is two screen shots my older 5mp cams and yes they have the smart illumination option, then a screen shot of my new 8mp cam that has no such option, only night/ day / on / off / auto ??

Thanks for your reply, I've just logged into the camera via WebGUI and still no option for smart illumination, just day and night, on, off or auto. Updated firmware for camera and still no change, nvr is running latest version, got me stuffed? (Photos of 2x cams via Web gui, one has the option...

Thanks mate, I'm just about to try that I've dug out my old laptop so hopefully can log into the system as you have suggested cheers

Hi all I have dahua nvr 5216 and just added 2x new 8mp HDW3849HP cameras (already have 10x 5mp cams which work no problems with smart illumination) with new version DMSS app. Problem, I can't seem to configure smart illumination on the 2x new cameras. No IR option or anything, white led is...
