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

    I run my 4kt's at 4ms. I noticed even on 6ms in very dark conditions you can get artefacts on quick movement with people when they're close to the camera. Be interesting to see an 8ms & 4ms comparison. Also gain looks slightly high at 60. I noticed a bit of pulsing / sparkling in the image...

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

    541RZE still looks the clearest and sharpest to me. There's a huge difference in the cars. Maybe Dhaua need to look at the lenses they're using vs the 541 ZE's. The 541ZE is slightly more washed out, but I'd take it over the other 3 anyday due to clarity and sharpness. It's strange how the ZE...

    SIIOOE IP wifi Camera solar powered setup

    I'd like to see a night video in low light with someone moving quickly through the picture. The achilles heel of most cheap cameras is you can often only achieve a decent low light static image by using high gain /slow shutters, both of which lead to picture issues especially with movement. Most...

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

    Unsure if Dhaua would allow this but one way of making it clearer whilst making it different could be to put E or ET for Empire Tech in the name after the 1st number so: 5442 would be 5ET442 5842 would be 5ET842 7442 would be 7ET442 Using ET or 5442 would be 5E442 on the E alone convention...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Probably didn't quite get the LAN setting right. The 2nd NIC (camera side LAN) needs to be set up so it cannot contact the main LAN ie it needs to be on a different sub net address, whilst the main BI NIC (PC motherboard LAN in my case), can connect to the main LAN as it should be set up on the...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    UK Here. We have plenty of rain also and cold wet winters, not a drop inside any of my cameras after several years of usage. Likely issues are as above either improperly secured SD card slot or another possible cause, improper fitment of the wires into the rear of the camera ie bad direction of...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    Just wanted to add, a good way to test you settings is navigate to the camera's update settings via the webpage and try using search for updates under manual update, If the settings are correct, the update request will time out.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Just be aware on varifocals it's there purely to zoom and set permanently once you find the best view for you location. It's not a zoom lens to be used for zooming in and out on people, and frequent use may cause failure.

    IR Hot Spotting Low Tech Fix

    Only issue is it probably won't last long due to the IR, but then again it's cheap and replaceable. You could explore other alternatives such as uv stabilised plastics with patterns in them, maybe even some vision obscuring window films such as used for bathrooms etc . At the end of the day...

    EmpireTech web interface questions.

    Strikes me you're not using IE if you're getting warnings about Https. I've never seen one and seem to remember that IE precedes https warnings. When we say use IE we don't mean it's replacement Edge, we mean literally discontinued IE as removed from visible access by Windows update from your...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    I don't think Gazans would be happy about it anyway it was done, but what I mean is give them land for free in the West Bank in exchange for Gaza. Ie facilitate it as a land exchange.

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    I see only 1 solution to Israel's problem and it might be a risk reducer, not a fix and that's to annexe Gaza and instead trade it for land in the West Bank. At least this put's Palestians in 1 area. At the moment Israel has them in 2 making almost a pincer movement on it's land and Gaza gives...

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    A little high? The recommendation on here is you don't go over 12ms. Many find that too slow and use 8ms. I personally use 4ms or 10x faster than what you're using. If you can't get a good picture at 8-12ms, then something else is wrong in your setup, either your camera sensor's size and...

    MFW5241T2-E3-ASE: new triple sight very long range perimeter protection camera

    There's too much gain in that picture. You can see from the lack of definition in the faces and the noise. So probable best setting for good facial capture would be a lot darker which then brings it's own issues. It probably does the job as you could probably identify them from that picture, but...

    Crap name. That alone is likely to kill it. Marekting is always the 1st key to any business. Mile-Flash might have been better but maybe there were reasons why they couldn't / didn't want to use that. Just not seeing the "flask" bit. 2nd observation, the low light pictures further down the page...

    IP conflict after power cut

    I've had a similar exerience recently. Power was cut and when it came back on I found that 1 camera's IP address had been deleted from the 2nd NIC card (the manually added addresses to allow IE contact), and the IP on the 1st, which was DCHP, was now fixed at a random address that wasn't ont...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Maybe one way around this would be for CHina to offer the extra features as a firmware update thus putting reponsibility for the face recognition on the end user. TBH, I doubt it's an issue with private buyers anyway, as most private buyers don't have an extensive database of identities unlike...

    humidity level and noisy image in dark lighting conditions?

    I'm not noticing it either. Typically increased noise would be seen in the dark areas such as the black paving slabs, black cars, dark doorways. They all look pretty much the same to me. As Big Red said, you will see the water droplets on plants if there's humidity which may give the appearance...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    I'm not sure that's exactly true in Ukraine's case. I think there's been a lot of MAGA propoganda relating to Ukraine from when Trump didn't want to fund them. Certainly some weapons have been sold on to hostile countries, which is why I personally said at the very start, no Western country...

    Trying SSD on BI

    Sounds like you may have made a big mistake here. You say the UI is snappier. This suggests you have the OS / BI on the same drive as your footage. If so this is a big mistake. The drive footage is on will always wear out the fastest and by putting them all on the same drive you risk having to...
