Is there a better general purpose camera than the 2018 HDW5831R?
Do you know how it compares to this 8mp version? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JFW767F -

Perfect! You are amazing as always. Going to order one of these now. -
Is there a better general purpose camera than the 2018 HDW5831R?
I'm looking to buy a few more cameras. I have several HDW5831R's (along with many other types of Dahua's). About 16 in total. The most impressive general purpose camera I have seems to be this older HDW5831R model. Great in the day and night. The image and video quality looks better to me than... -

Yup! Feel free to use it. -

Daytime, this is the output jpeg, not a screenshot... -

Btw, for the anti aliasing, this seems to be an artifact of SmartPSS and NOT the camera. I think SmartPSS is scaling the live stream in a way that makes the AA look really bad. If I open the DAV or jpeg files, they look fine. -

@EMPIRETECANDY what I'd give if these cameras could have an option to write out mp4 files instead of dav files :) -

I'm on the latest linked above... it's now completely dark outside and this cam is staying full color, simply amazing! Looking very good! I can't wait to see what the daytime view looks like tomorrow with the new firmware. -

@Wildcat_1 where do I get the latest firmwar? I realized mine is the latest from the Dahua website, which was newer from when you tweaked the cam. I have V2.840.0000000.13.R, Build Date: 2022-01-10 -

So far it seems awesome! It's staying in color so far even though it's pretty dark out... -

I've moved this cam to the back of my house and upgraded the firmware. The anti aliasing is a little weird but overall seems to look pretty good. I'm going to test it out here for awhile and see how things go. -

Thanks! I hope this results in a new firmware :-) -

Thanks so much. I don’t use an nvr and they stutter when I use smart pss to view them with nothing else accessing it. I’m actively wanting a newer model so I’ll keep trying them as they come out. -

It’s definitely not my network. My other 4k cams have no issue with stuttering. Even when plugged into the same cable. It’s a short run from the switch, which is a good switch with good cat 6 Ethernet. Even the color 4k cam looks worse than the 2018 for daytime images and video. The 2018 cam... -

Note, both cams can be dialed in. But no matter the dialing, the 2021 will not look as smooth, as clear, and as realistic as the 2018 model. Then add in the stuttering of the 2021 and I'm convinced that the 2018 is a better general purpose camera compared to the 2021. The 2021 seems to win out...
