    Replacing my old cams; need night vision, etc.

    Here you have comparison of most popular here on the forum camera Dahua 5442 (54IR), which is 2.5 years on market with 1 year old 34PRO (Dahua 3449-PRO aka Color4M) and very fresh release of 54PRO (5459-PRO) in 2 versions (fixed lens and with optical zoom). All those cams are the best cams for...

    Not worth to touch / upgrade Color4K-T180.. Old technology, too much problems & limitations.. Andy please ask Dahua about new WizColor 180 camera? Both in 3 and 5 series? I think many people were very interesting in good 180 cam with WizColor tech & hybrid LEDs without many...

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

    I have one more question: can you describe what difference is between IR/white lights on 54PRO-ZE & 54PRO-AS? Does both cams have 4 multicore LEDs (all 4 can be both white and IR) or they have divided diodes (only 2 white and only 2 IR)? what range & distribution over video frame compare? does...

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

    thanks @jmcu for videos.. interesting is that 38PRO works very well in that scenario... question is how 58PRO perform? maybe there is no reason to limit out selfs to 4Mpx when WizColor 8Mpx can perform in many installations...

    help with IP Camera models

    At this moment, when Dahua is doing more and more AI features which work only in Dahua ecosystem (cameras + NVR + DMSS app), considering other options than Dahua NVR for small house installations is becoming increasingly pointless. Especially since we're seeing progress with the mobile app...

    automode sucks totally.. with much bigger/longer max shutter time it have much higher noise.. crazy... auto defaults are bad..

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

    no... moving into Smooth means more data (bandwidth) is allocated to small changes between individual (delta) frames in video stream at a cost of I-frames. moving into Clear means more data (bandwidth) is allocated to a full redraw of the entire image, which occurs every i-frame (usually every...

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

    on some of your night footage I saw a lot of softness / blurred areas around your body (in places where you left in last 1-2 seconds).. this is artifact from 3D NR.. plus some grass softness can be also created by 3D NR... WizColor is using much much more 3D NR than previous cameras like 54IR...

    OK, I wrote this reply before read your answer that Youtube didn't show 1440p version of Your videos in default video player.. @jmcu did crazy things with re-stream HDMI video output from NVR (which normally is 4K, but if streamed from channel zero on NVR and not external hardware HDMI encoder...

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

    ok.. thanks for a lot of footage... one more thing: if you will record more, please always limit 2D & 3D noise to 30... at default 50 they don't help and only create a lot of problems (lots of ghosting / blur around your movement).. Also in encode settings you can always move smooth stream to...

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

    this can be many things: all footage we see (both from @jmcu and @duplo) are one/two times rescaled & recompressed.. for now no one have published original footage at native camera resolution... 59PRO-ZE can be wrongly focused... 59PRO have very open aperture (F1.0 for AS, F1.2 for ZE) which...

    big question: why you rescale all videos to 1080p (FullHD)? Or YouTube don't support Dahua 4MP ( 2688 × 1520)?

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

    for now we don't have any AI tests... based on marketing materials 54PRO have also progressed here (better detection in difficulty conditions, less false positives, better animal support with animal type detection)... also 54PRO have better extra HW (speaker, dual mic, hybrid dual IR/white...

    @duplo did you received from Andy (to EU?) new WizColor 5459-PRO (released a few days ago, so pre production sample) or simply you show us FullColor 5449-ZE, which was available in Europe in last 2 years? Image from camera You named 59ZE looks for me like Full Color 5449-ZE. This model have big...

    thanks @jmcu for more videos... first 22 seconds (on my parameters - shutter up to 1/120, gain up to 50, iris 100, 2D/3D up to 30) confirms what I said many times on the forum: WizColor cams are brighter and recovers better/more colorful night image than beloved 54IR.. First they have little...

    Unable to get HIK Vision NVR to work with Unifi

    historically HIK NVR's didn't allow to re-stream over private protocol (so other HIK NVR's didn't recognize this NVR as multi camera source). Dahua always had those feature and this worked very well. I don't know how with ONVIF. Don't use HIK any more.. But you can always try to stream from...
