    Unable to get HIK Vision NVR to work with Unifi

    1. create/enable/set up password for admin ONVIF user (there should be separate list of ONVIF users). 2. I don't know does HIK NVR's allows to re-stream cameras over ONVIF. Dahua allows this for 100% (both private protocol, ONVIF & RTSP).. if not, you should stream directly from cameras...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    One more thing after watching footage one more time - T54PRO-ZE have real P-Iris, so Iris settings should be at 100 to be comparable to fully open lens on fixed lens cameras..

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    T54PRO-ZE have much stronger IR than T54PRO-AS or T34PRO, T54IR-ZE have awful IR with big central hot spotting, T34PRO have awful default video processing for IR (you can try to decrease exposure compensation or play with Gamma settings to decrease background to black)..

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I would be very grateful for video comparisons with shutter times 1/120 and 1/60... there are 2 sources of those blurriness after movement: compression artifacts - increasing bandwidth, moving to AI.Coding or lowering Smooth stream to 20/30 should help... ghosting - effect of 3D noise...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    @jmcu thanks for video... There are smaller/bigger problems with facial details recovery on all cameras.. Shutter time is too big - first we don't see big difference between cameras (hard to compare), second probably this is one of the reasons why we have flat faces (they are moved in long...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    And I will wait for 54IL-Z4E and 54PRO-Z4E tests / review on some final firmware. 54IR-Z4E is good, but not best... even 74IR-Z4E showed better performance. ps. they will produce WizSense-S/X cams for one more year minimum. Those new cams are not direct replacements.

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    @jmcu thanks for footage ... please do one more at night with some external street lights.. and please zoom-out the T54IR to match FoV of other cams.. ps. what camera image settings were on all cams?

    Hikvision as a brand

    I had ability to play with a few different VMS in my life.. And none of them had such stupid limitations as BI... Especially on encoding.. there is no difference in 15 vs 30 FPS from VMS (or NVR) standpoint.. video stream is video stream - stream of bytes - which should be stored on HDD by...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    PRO line will be marketed as better one and priced little higher than -IL (or actual WizSense-S 5442)... Due extra bells and whistles... -IL line will be more for people who knows what they want (and what is difference). For me is interesting than they didn't named -IL line as continuation of...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    34PRO (Color4M) is much better camera that MiniPTZ.. with bigger/better image sensor (1/1.8") and newer processor. But also even 34PRO see almost zero car details here. You should put there some external IR emitter which will solve Your problems on all cams..

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    But on the picture You showed It's hard to tell it's a car. Its outline is completely invisible; the only thing that gives it away are the lights. So AI can't detect it... Start working at image settings / config for night - to show more details / outline for the cars... Or use stronger IRs...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Internal LEDs for now destroys image. This don't look good for now.. Please do some tests in place with some EXTERNAL white lighting (street / garden / house lights etc).. No internal LEDs at all... And video comparison to 54IR / 34PRO (or even Color4K) in the same place / direction at the SAME...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Thanks for videos... 1. AcuPick have the same limitations as on 5442 - it use minimum version of Video Meta Data.. No Face records.. No separate plates... I hoped for more on this more powerful SOC... 2. @jmcu - please do videos WITHOUT on camera white lights.. they destroy everything. Please...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    firmware is the same for both, so both have IVS for dummies :) difference is Minimal aperture, which gives You better Depth of Field on IL at a cost of light sensitivity. Dahua don't publish this, but for me based on different resolutions (4/5/8 on -IL, 4/6/8 on -PRO) and differences in WDR...

    AFSA increases shutter time to match grid frequency (50 / 60 Hz) and light flickering.. this is why you have reduced noise :) H means Heater for glass...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Color4K (5849) cam with 1/1.2" was one time Dahua (and HIK) mistake, which probably will never be repeated. 1/1.2" are too big, too costly and problematic for cheap cctv cameras. they require much bigger optics (varifocals) than 1/1.8" cams.. There were hundreds posts on this forum about...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    yes, they are.. but Andy can't use the same model names/numbers as Dahua... they must differ under other brands (like EmpireTech)... ps. also Dahua model numbers are crazy... Like: IPC-MFW5241T2-E3-ASE IPC-HFW5459E1-Z4E-IL IPC-HFW5459T1-ASE-PV-PRO

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    big question to everyone: 5442 is called in Andy shop 54IR... 5842 is 58IR 7442 is 74IR new WizColor 5459-PRO is called 54PRO this way TIOC-PRO 3449-PRO should be called 34PRO How we should call Smart Dual Light 5459-IL? 54IL? or 54DUAL? it's line between old IR and new WizColor PRO line...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    both 5x59-Z4E-IL and 5x59-Z4E-PRO have the same 4 diodes (2 wide/2 narrow) with 120m IR range as 5442-Z4E... plus there is second option - 80m white range (where 5442-Z4E is lacking) with ability to turn on white based on motion or IVS.. Hybrid lighting (IR + white) doesn't degrade in any way...

    Dahua added more models to website: - so we now have also telephoto 8-32mm Z4HE in WIzColor 5x59-PRO lineup with aperture starting at F1.6 and P-Iris (yesterday telephoto models were only available in Smart Dual Light 5x59-IL lineup)...

    Can you check, does AcuPick mode sends simplified or FULL Video Meta Data records to NVR? Do you have on NVR human records (with cloth types/colors) and face records (sex/age/expression) or only human records? Do you have vehicles records with type/color/brand and separate plate images - or...

    4MP 1/1.8” CMOS vs 8MP 1/2.7” CMOS — which is better?

    always bigger sensor.. and lower resolution... in both cases pixel size is bigger = more sensible to the light... if you look at cams to buy for now only WizColor cams (2449-PRO, 3449-PRO, 5459-PRO) plus older 5442 are way to go...
