    Tips / Recommendations When Using The S3 Cameras (Listed in My Video too): Reduce Gamma to 42. Reduce Sharpness to 40 - 44. Reduce Exposure Compensation to 20. For Night Settings Consider Dropping Gain to Range of 0 - 40 (from 50). Increase Contrast to 52. At Night, Don't Drop Noise...

    Hahah, totally with you on that one @tigerwillow1 ! I'll add another, the fact that when viewing the GUI's on a Mac you get prompted to download a plugin in .exe format ! ;)

    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...

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

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

    "Almost any camera can do well in the daytime"? The IPC-Color4K-T sure can't....

    Send me a DM and we can talk about what you're seeing and potentially how to fix etc. Let me know

    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.
