    Highlights are Blown Out - ET IPC-T58IR-SE-2.8MM-S3

    I've given this advice a go and have had excellent results thus far. The primary difference I'm noticing is that the image is so dark at dusk compared to my AI Pro that it switches over to night mode about an hour before the AI Pro. This seems to be due to manual exposure settings. I've also set...

    Highlights are Blown Out - ET IPC-T58IR-SE-2.8MM-S3

    Hey thanks a ton for the writeup! I'm going to play with the settings and report back what I find. I'm noticing the following options: Self-adaptive, Day/Night Switch, Customized Scene. It seems it defaults to selecting customized scene. I would assume Day/Night switch is ideal so I can adjust...

    Highlights are Blown Out - ET IPC-T58IR-SE-2.8MM-S3

    Thanks for the fast response! Yes a pic would probably be nice, I forgot to grab one when it was brighter today and it's not on NVR yet. I'm using Web GUI. I left exposure setting default, though reducing it did improve the image. I wanted to try again at night to make sure I wasn't going too...

    Highlights are Blown Out - ET IPC-T58IR-SE-2.8MM-S3

    Hey guys, I know that this forum isn't the biggest fan of outdoor 8MP installations. I mostly use 4MP for 3.6 and 6mm installs, but for my 2.8mm installs I ordered 8MP. The image quality is quite good in dusk settings, even in low light, but things get washed out with the slightest bit of...

    Different approach to flush mounting ET/Dahua cameras

    I finally got back to this and can confirm the PFA200 works great with the T54/T58 turret, but I’m just not a fan of the look—it makes the base look huge. I really don’t like making the camera look bigger than it needs to be. I specifically avoided variable zoom to keep the best picture in the...

    Different approach to flush mounting ET/Dahua cameras

    It’s hard to tell from the drawings but the camera mount holes are spaced 120d at 84mm diameter. One of the brackets that comes with PFA200G shows it having this spec, but there’s two parts to it. I’ve ordered quite a few things hoping to find a suitable solution but wanted to reach out here to...

    Different approach to flush mounting ET/Dahua cameras

    Hey everyone, I’ve been lurking here for a while and finally made a move. I went with ET/Dahua cameras, mostly 4MP (T54) and a few 8MP (T58). One challenge I’ve faced is transitioning from UniFi. With UniFi, you can drill a 3/8” hole, plug the cable directly into the camera, and get a...
