Just wanted to update that I did create separate profiles for day and night recording and applied a schedule and, following the advice in this thread, I'm much happier with the results. Before, I was never able to get good results without using backlighting. And then it worked ok in some...

I kinda learned some of that with the first camera I bought... pictures looked good, but the first time I needed to capture a picture of a moving vehicle (even at 10mph) it was almost unusable. That's what led me to researching and eventually moving up to these EmpireTechs/Dahuas. But I'm...

I was just thinking, too, if I really want the best image quality, I may just need to bite the bullet and have 3 scheduled scenes. One for when the sun is beating down on everything, one for when the sun is behind the trees but still daylight, and one for night. I guess there's just no...

Ah, ok.. cool. Thanks for that! I tried SSA before and I forget what the issue was... the sun is on the other side now so I'm not able to test specifically for the situation that eventually landed me with HLC on. Pretty much everything looks good at this time of day. lol But SSA does actually...

Ah, ok... it does seem to be adjusting now. I think I remembered wrong. What is happening is, at 45 it looks good. Soon as I tick it down to 44, there's a drastic reduction in saturation that makes it very "pale" if that makes any sense. Maybe I need to up the saturation?

I feel like I tried that already and for some reason, once I got down to like 45 it made no difference. In other words, I could adjust the slider and the picture would adjust until I hit that and then it did nothing between 44 and 1. Maybe it was like 25 or something, I can't remember, but will...

Holy crap, I made a couple of those changes and what a difference! Man, I feel dumb now. But then again, I kinda knew I just wasn't doing something right or didn't understand how much these settings could truly influence the quality. And your post is right... I actually saw this post when I was...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Witaj, I see what you're saying. If I play the videos and freeze them around the same time and then take a screenshot and really look, you can see that the screenshot of the 4k video (on left) has those jagged lines that seemed to make the picture look worse, but...

It looks the sale price is in effect on Amazon? $209 for the 4K cam? Amazon says it’s the lowest recent price so I kind of assumed there was a bit of sale. So figured I’d better make a decision and start grabbing them now. Lol I did go ahead and order one immediately after talking to you guys...
