In Night mode, under Backlighting, turn on HLC. Highlight compensation should tame the headlights.
You have to access the camera interface itself
Assuming you have a Dahua NVR, you go to the Registration page, at the bottom of which will be your cameras. Each one will have a little blue IE icon. Click it and it will open the web interface of your camera. Login and pass same as your NVR. Both NVR firmware versions below

Thanks! Another question for you. I am looking to get an EmpireTech NVR and I noticed in a screenshot above in post #67 that you have an equivalent one also and your cameras are on the 10.x ip address - did you let the NVR assign those and then you use the IE icon to access the camera interface? You mention the user and password are the same - did the NVR do that or did you go into each camera and assign them the same user/PW? Did you have a user/PW on the camera prior and the NVR overwrites them?As long as you don’t try and change any of the settings of the camera via the NVR they will retain their settings.
What camera is this ?View attachment 44602 Here is one at 9:30 with HLC on at 50 and the shutter set at 1/1000. I’ll turn HLC off tomorrow night and compare them. Thanks for the tips.
IPC-HFW5241E-Z12EWhat camera is this ?
I started with the dahua sunrise sunset utility someone built and is discussed heavily on this forum. I have it change to black and white an hour before sunset and change back to color an hour after sunrise. With that I used the sunrise/sunset app to see what the focus on the camera during the day and then when it changes each sunrise/sunset I have it manually set the focus. The problem is at night with the camera zoomed in to mostly just the street there is nothing for the camera to focus on so it change go out of focus like you are seeing. Setup the app and you should be in set.I bought one of these and I have it setup. It works for a few days then gets out of focus. I know focus has been mentioned on here but could someone explain to me what I need to do to keep this thing focused?
I see what you're doing. I'm going to do this as well. I know our times will be different but is there a preferred time to have the schedule change it from day/night? 1 hour before, 1 hour after, spot on, etc.^^^^^

leave it in B&W 24/7 and you’ll rarely lose focus. I don’t use the utility. I simply use the schedule profile to change exposure from day to night along with image changes like add contrast and HLC if you need it.
