That’s ok, you want to adjust for when the motion light kicks on. It will be a bit dark until it does but that’s the trade off

Thanks for the tips - I’ll have another play around tomorrow
Not really. I have a weak one from Ali, but I'm considering another one, that it is popular on this forum. I believe is this one:
Also I'm considering upgrading the existing one, with more powerful LEDs and LED driver.

Just took delivery of this camera today along with the PFB203W Water-Proof Wall Mount Bracket. Holes on the bracket do not match the camera plate. IS there a different bracket that I should have purchased?
Just looked it up and looks like it should have been the DH-PFB204W instead.

Getting the hang of it
I noticed the function greyed out as well, to my dismay. Seems like the engineers thought it doesn't need to be manually set and let the day/night function figure out whether it's better to keep the IR-cut filter in or not. The way to manually force it is change the mode away from day/night.

I do use the Schedule Profile for some cameras, but I generally dislike it for two reasons: daylight hours shift through the year, I have plenty of mornings with heavy fog/rain/cloud cover where the camera should stay in B/W longer.

Alternately, use the Dahua Sunrise/Sunset utility, available here on IPCT, to control the profiles.

Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset
I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...
In opposite to my 2231 cameras, this one has Global setup under its IVS.
While I saw some demonstration how to configure it, I couldn't find what it is used for
Also, under rules, there are many options I'm not familiar with that I'm looking for documentation for, like Parking detection for example

Sorry just hijacking this but what's the difference in mounting this without the wall mount vs with it?

If outside it makes a nice weatherproof housing for your lan and power cables coming from the camera. Here in the UK I use this one .

I paid just over £9 each for a couple of Dahua PFA130-e boxes from Aliexpress. Took 19 days including weekends.

Ah right, I'm planning to install it in the soffit of my porch with the CAT6 going straight into the camera so was planning for the extra cable to be left in the void above the soffit.
The thing which could cause an issue is the two B5442 bullets I got from Andy have a bunch of other connections sticking out the back so what do people do with those?

My guess is that the Calibrate Region is for the software to be able to accurately measure object sizes to help with the accuracy of human and vehicle detection. I can't think of a guess for Anti-Disturb Enable.
Tape them up and into the soffit also. Or into the junction box if you get it.
