I think there has been some confusion. My post was primarily an initial follow-up to recent requests for a comparison between my 4mm ColorVu and Varifocal IPC-D5442E-ZE cameras (not old dahua cameras). I’m a bit behind schedule on testing, so I wanted to offer my first impressions. The...

To be honest, I only took the risk of taking my own camera apart, because I didn't fancy sending it back to China - only to face the risk of import charges on a replacement that could potentially have the same issues. I haven't yet done anywhere near enough testing, but comparing the ColorVu...

Hi. I'm currently on the road, but in short - adjusting the lens requires taking the whole camera apart to get at the lens (which its self is locked in place with 3 blobs of glue that you need to remove). I found it easy enough, but it does require a lot of care! Oh, and the camera does have a...

Sorry for the slow reply - I've been away over the holiday season. I will be working with the cameras over the next week or two, so I'll try to put something useful together for everyone.

OK, I've managed to remove the glue and adjusting the focus was quite easy. Everything is now great and equal to the sample image provided by @harb :) Now that's sorted, I'll finally be able to compare it to the Dahua D5442E-ZE. I don't know if anybody else has both of these cameras, but the...

Thank you very much! That’s definitely nothing like the image I have.

Could somebody with this camera please post a couple of full resolution daylight screenshots from this camera? Also, if you have the 4mm version - could you please let me know at what distance objects are at their sharpest? I received a 4mm T2347G-LU from Andy at the end of last week, but...

Fantastic news! Thanks for letting me know :)

Yes, under system/Maintenance (I think), you should find the option to reset everything other than network and passwords etc.

I will add that your second photo (the best sample from the “defective” camera) does not look anything like mine did - mine went straight from the top image to the bottom one. Your middle photo looks like a combination of some WB/exposure/brightness problem, possibly caused by the the relocation...

I had one of these Darkfighter cameras about 4 years ago. I can’t swear that it was the identical model (I have 4A26 in my mind), but it had a similar problem. If i recall correctly, i could zoom out until 2.8mm was displayed on the screen, but then it would continue a fraction further and lose...

Thanks for all your responses!

Yes, I’m certainly struggling. The fact that I’ve found two data sheets, which appear to show the same model numbers but differing face recognition and ANPR features leave me very confused.

The more I look into this, the more confused I get. Could it be that Dahua are marketing the same product with different features in different regions (using the same model names)?... Product 1: NVR-4216-16P-I (Lite-AI Series) This data sheet mentions picture stream recognition (with FD...
