    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    @tigerwillow1 have you tried the Experience Database ? If not then recommend you try that too if using IVS caps under AcuPick and those are seeing the incorrect caps.

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    @looney2ns Mines running pretty sweet (apart from the bugs) now but let me know which version you’re running and what mode AcuPick or Video Metadata etc. if AcuPick then I would highly recommend using the Experience Database on the cam and adding incorrect IVS caps to it as it will make a...

    Ubiquiti UniFi AI Port

    UI hasn't even released multi-cam support in EA yet so I don't expect it in release form any time soon. As I mentioned I think UI unfortunately see the AI Port as a necessary product to bring people into their Protect ecosystem BUT critically only for people to buy their cameras, not use 3rd...

    My Dahua 5x42 S3 / T/B5xIR Related Bugs As Promised

    All, as promised, I am detailing the 10 bugs I’ve found with the current 5x42 / B/t5xIR S3 cameras below. In some cases the bug is in how the camera interacts with NVR’s looking to read its capabilities and accurately interpret the metadata from the camera. In each case, I’ve listed the issue I...

    Ubiquiti UniFi AI Port

    No problem. Just remember YMMV depending on your infrastructure, configuration, camera + associated FW levels across all of the above.

    Ubiquiti UniFi AI Port

    I run and test a number of Dah, Hik, Axis and other brands and have not seen issues except with the very first few beta releases of the Protect Onvif Support FW. Those issues included not being able to detect cameras (turned out to be a limitation on UI's implementation, more below on this) as...

    Hey @rpmartinez I see you DM'd me as well so thought I would answer here in efforts to help others. Tagging @EMPIRETECANDY for awareness too. I run a full Unifi infrastructure (as well as others) as part of multiple setups I have in place. This includes Protect architecture for testing as well...

    I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera

    Looking good my friend. Are you planning on running the Axis Plate Verifier with this one ? Not cheap for the license BUT it does do a good job. Of course if you're running them through OPENALPR or other Middleware, heck even NVR AI processing then no need.

    Challenge Accepted - 4K License Plate Recognition @ 85Ft with 4K S3 Camera (EmpireTech B58IR-Z4E-S3)

    Exactly the way. Have plate capture set on 1 cam to make sure you get key evidential information then have your secondary and tertiary cams for identifying features (model, color, make etc) then I also advocate for a PTZ (depending on deployment, target requirements, threat model to location...

    The great thing about this forum and community we're all part of is that with us all continuing to share settings, configs, deployments etc, we all not only expand our knowledge BUT also find break points, bugs etc that in feeding those back, give us better products like these S3's for example :)

    Challenge Accepted - 4K License Plate Recognition @ 85Ft with 4K S3 Camera (EmpireTech B58IR-Z4E-S3)

    Dahua did do a white paper on a 'Timed Exposure' (or something similar) AI algorithm at one point and how they were looking at a feature they would be implementing around this (about 1 year ago). It basically would go beyond WDR / HDR on steroids. However, that white paper disappeared and...

    Well, Steve was kindly sharing that by using that setup you can sometimes get the car details with plate captures too, in other words best of both worlds (not having to compromise just capturing plates and losing vehicle details etc). Which like I said, in certain environments and target...

    @wittaj Yes WDR OFF is the better one. As mentioned, unfortunately what Steve kindly shared is VERY situation dependent. Although I've tried this before when testing LPR and never got the desired results for the specific (and challenging) deployments, I did want to revisit too. For example in...

    Yes depends on your distance to target for sure. Shame there is no Z12 on 4MP / 8MP. Just move your house closer to the road, sorted ! ;)

    Couple of notes: You have to be careful when you're mentioning 5442, remember that series has been around forever. ANPR is NOT supported, NOT implemented on the S1 or S2 models of 5x42 cameras, period. However the new S3 cameras DO support ANPR (I showed how you can check the cam capabilities...

    Yes, my goal was to see how far I could push the Z4 variant and like you, initially I thought this was going to be an impossible challenge only due to the sharpening and artifacting / noise seen out of the box. However, I knew I could do something with it so set the task of dialing in over 3...
