    How about a new review, what about 2, 3, possibly 4 ?

    Yes AcuPick is certainly interesting and I respect what Dahua is doing to speed up evidential review and reduce burden on operators. This is incredibly important the larger the scale of the deployment in terms of cams x target / schedule capture x retention etc. AcuPick 2.0 has come on a long...

    Hey everybody, I hope all are having a great summer, staying safe, enjoying the weather and having fun with friends and family. I’ve been heads down on a number of larger global projects while also working on FW recommendations, fixes, feature suggestions etc for Cams, NVRs & middleware. This...

    Exactly right. Force the BW for IR, don't rely on Auto as I and others mention all the time

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    I did try this in hopes that some of the changes I put forward to correct some of the 'problem behaviors' I mentioned were fixed but alas, those are not in this release.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Yes as I mentioned in my review and feedback to Dahua. This cam needs work and is why I can't recommend it. I can dial it in to be better but as I showed Dahua engineering, there are a number of issues that need sorting. I gave them a full rundown with many many videos, tips, FW changes etc.

    If that’s the case then I don’t think I’ve seen as many doubles in 1 competition. Lots of new cams for people to play with. Nothing wrong with that.

    BTW I did confirm with Andy (@EMPIRETECANDY) and for those asking, the total was 478 entries, not 483. This also correlates with the list all of us were given.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Just updating on this one. Still working with Dahua on the firmware and algorithm options I feel they can implement to make this better. The compression and macro blocking are not good, especially for a camera that spends a lot of its time moving between locations and tracking. The issue is...
