Does this camera come in the colour black?
If you can't get it in black, you can probably plasti dip it. That seems (to me) a bit les difficult/permanent than painting it.
Hey guys
The smart IR version fw for the animal fw of the 54IR/52IR/58IR S3 is ready to test now, please contact us.
Andy
Thank you.
What is the improvement/difference between the first firmware (consisting of 2 .bin files) and this one?
I just realized that the "test" Firmware I installed on June 7th changed the "Encoding Strategy" from "Smart Codec" to "AI Coding" ... and there is NOT an option to have "Smart Codec"
I compared to another camera that did NOT have that installed and the "Compression/etc." is the same ... but again, it shows me "Smart Codec" whereas the new firmware is "AI Codec"
I then noticed that the saved videos on the SD card are MUCH larger.
Did anyone else notice this?
I tried various combination, but can't seem to get "Smart Codec" to show up again.
So ... based on this, it seems that "Smart Codec" isn't available (?) ... but is it possible that your "Smart IR" FW
@EMPIRETECANDY puts that back in ... in which case, I would REALLY like to try this! ;-)
I can't find "Smart Codec" either, but I never used it. Didn't "Smart Codec" limit some other functions anyway if I remember correctly?
I must say this 'animal' detection firmware is a massive improvement so far.
It's detecting more animals (mainly cats) than the 5231 and since I have another S3 at the back of the house, I can now see animal detections there too.
And it seems there's another (big) improvement. Before, drawing IVS lines (tripwire) was difficult. You had to draw them a certain way because otherwise they would not click/set.
Now I can draw them freely, however I want.
And 3rd; when making detection of image settings; the (live)video would often turn black which made adjusting settings difficult. Now the live video stays on. Another
Still; the "target filter" slider still doesn't work so this is still basically a workaround. My 2431 S2 will still not detect animals because of that and since that one is EOL, it never will.
But since the 5231 is probably not needed anymore below one of the S3, I can replace the 2431 with the 5231 and find another use for the 2431 where animal detection is not necessary.
Another thing I'm noticing; but I'm not certain it started with the new firmware. I have SmartPSS on my laptop with all 4 camera's (substream).
(The Self Adaptive Stream Type setting in SmartPSS has never worked for me)
The 2 S3 camera's live stream often becomes pixeled for a second or so. The 5321 and 2431 S3 don't.
I have one S3 and the 5231 connected and powered from one POE-port of a POE-switch (through a POE-extender). The other S3 is on it's own POE-port and the 2431 is behind a Wifi-bridge and powered by a Ubiquiti POE-injector. (since that one is one a chicken coop without a netwerkcable/connection.
If it was a Wifi problem, the 5321 and 2431 would have shown this too I would think.
