    Recent Dahua 4K cams don't have POE???

    B&W was not your only problem. The resolution of your screen.... and it was still way better then the resolution of your cams. The size of your screen and.... depth and shape of your screen You didn't care about those thinks because you were busy looking for a high-tech way to get alerts on...

    Pro AI NVR latest new firmware NVR5XXX-I_MultiLang_V4.001.0000000.2.R.200814.bin

    Actually, the requested feature has nothing to do with the camera and it's AI learning.... All it takes is a simple setting: if I was clearly identified by one of the camera in the backyard, it's ok to disable the IVS push alert from a given group of cams to a given period of time that the user...

    Your standalone POE switch would not create such a bug. An unmanaged switch is layer 2 and it would not keep it's lockup tables after restart so you have nothing to worry about. POE switch is also way more quiet and gives you more freedom to migrate to BI or debug your problems. It gives you...

    I WAS saying that maybe deleting cam #9 before unplug it could clear the data. Not sure cause it was too late to test it when I first found the problem. When I had my 8 cams installed and running, I did try deleting and detecting all cams several times. I also tried deleting all cams then...

    Thank you @Wildcat_1 I was honestly moved by your willingness to help and I would like to "take advantage" of that soon. Especially, since I'm managing already 9 of the 5849 cams (of me, my sister and best friend) and I would like to know what I'm doing wrong with my settings. Having said...

    Thank you guys for everything. First of all @EMPIRETECANDY : the 09092021 was just a typo. I meant of course 08092021.... All of the FW I've ever used came from you. You gave me the 08092021 for the 5849 and the 28082021 for the 5442 the same day. @kobebeef : that was a very helpful info. all...

    Some notes about the 09092021 FW: First, I must say that the color night view is really exiting. I could expect to see only the near area where the leds are pointing but it's getting the light from every source and I can even see the blue sky. Really nice. I'm currently using NVR (5216-16P-I)...

    For all I know, there is only 03122020 there must have been a typo somewhere. The 12/03 is the most recommended if you use IVS for security

    Thanks @Wildcat_1 1. So we hope and believe that the (up)grade, unlike the (down)grade should work. if it would, it's gonna be the easy and straightforward way to go. pressing the button takes not only ladder, it's also repositioning the T-ZE cams cause I'd probably won't have access to the...

    1. I was hoping not to hear that because it gonna be a big pain to climb to each camera in order to press the button. 2. The only power source I'm using is my NVR. I do not use a separate POE switch to use and I'm not too sure it'll work. 3. TTL? I sure hope we are not there yet.... TTL would...

    WOW I've missed that one.... good thing that I was waiting with reverting the FW. I got the 0828 FW from Andy at 09/22 and tested it on 9 cams all together (upgraded more and more cams before I found out the problematic IVS). now, "you cannot access the camera at all. Luckily it appears that a...

    Thank you @Wildcat_1 I'm also currently testing the 0809 for the 4k and the 2808 for the 5442 cams. I do use SD cards but since I don't have POE switch, I'm running everything VIA NVR (NVR5216-16P-I). As for the color 4k, I have full list of bugs but it's not the place for those. In general...

    I do not use BI. My sister is very happy with it. The BI is deferentially the best way to go. But yes, importing triggers from the camera works better and the May, Jul and Aug firmware ALL suffers from poor IVS reliability. ** poor = comparing to the excellent performance I used to get in all...

    Before we get to that explanation I'd add: 1. it's got nothing to do with factory reset before and after the upgrade. 2. it's got nothing to do with global settings. When you'd test the IVS, you'd probably get got results cause it's working OK MOST of the time. But testing over a longer...

    NO !!!! My advise is NOT to touch Dec 2020 FW in case you care about reliable IVS. Though @Wildcat_1 is the best camera tester we have in here, guys that are using IVS as their watch guard (including me but not only me) were complaining about the reliability of the IVS with all 2021 FW we've...

    @Wildcat_1 So that 06/11 branch is also the problem and the solution to the IVS problem? I was hoping for such explanation. BTW, I'm having the same sort of IVS problems with my color4k cams (5849 line).

    @MikeLud1 I did know about a day/night problem and that's why it was my guess but it did look like WDR change and that's why I was pointing you there.

    I'm using 4 cams of the T-ZE plus 4 E-ZE If you cannot point to the settings that were changed, there is nothing we can really help you by looking at those screenshots. If you are using WDR, try to check if it has changed. My guess would be a change from day to night. I did mention that the...

    First, the build date: I am talking about the 28-08-2021 FW that I got from Andy. As I felt more and more comfortable with it, I changed 8 5442 cams (4X T-ZE and 4X E-ZE). Since writing the last post, it happened again (the dog episode). I cannot say I remember if the May FW made problems only...

    Today's news is less pleasing: The family dog was caught on two tripwires (evening - IR). That's something that didn't use to happen with the Dec FW. Another strange thing is that it took 3 seconds for the false alarm to set off => three seconds after passing the wires, when the dog was far...

    It's too early to say something but so far so good. I cannot yes confirm that the problem is solved (because also before it was working okay most times), but so far it looks promising. I did se some of the features mentioned by Andy's table but I do not test then now. spoiler: to use the object...

    I was changing 8 cams to the new FW. So far it looks like it's working okay (though it's too soon to really say something) What I can already say is that all cams were on schdule (night/day) and none of them changed to night. maybe the auto works, I wouldn't know I know that I was using the...

    Back here after a long time. I might have found a solution that would be easy and doable with a relatively small update. Reminder: the main problem I was complaining about was the relation that does not exist between IVS and FR. As I was saying before, the FR as a standalone feature is...

    UPDATE I'm now testing FW version of 28082021 Thank you Andy. That version does not have smart IR but suppose to deal with the IVS issue. I'd let you all know the results the soon as I have any. Please be patient as it may take some time to know anything: the problem with the IVS is not...

    Thanks @Wildcat_1 I sure know that the 5849 uses a different FW. and I do follow your great job with fixing that cam since day 1. And I did buy to me and my family 9 of those cams already thanks to your great review. I was only wondering because the IVS problem of the 5442 was introduce when...

    @looney2ns : I am going to change two 5442T-ZE cams with 5849 cams tomorrow. Though I was asking before, I wanted to make sure that the issue does not exist there. I was afraid that it might be related to the SMD 3.0 that the 5849 use from day 1. I'm asking you as the most experienced guy...

    Yes, the image looks good enough to trigger IVS when it's just skipping the detection. In my case, the IVS is the most important feature. With the Dec. FW I I know I can really trust it day and night. No one enters my property without an alert. BI: I would not go that far and change the...

    I'm using 4X5442T-ZE and 4X5442E-ZE (8 cams). Using the May FW, I started getting my dog caught for the first times in a year. Not only that, I started missing IVS events. reverting to Dec 2020 FW, I no longer get any IVS events from my dog (there was one exception when he was walking on two...

    Don't look for the latest FW. The two FW from 2021 "fixed" SMD 3.0 but broke the good IVS. As a result, the SMD is not detecting human as the IVS but the IVS started failing too many times. There are false positives as well as false negatives. The IVS is way more important so my advise...
