    Need advice: 2 Dahua cameras for outdoor garden surveillance

    Just to add to what bigredfish suggested above, when I think of a garden and ip cameras, the first thing I think of is bugs. External illumination will help immensely.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    The color cast correction analyzes the artificial lighting in the scene and removes color casts (blue/yellow) to render a more natural white balance. Under the street lamp on my street, it corrected the lighting to make it appear more pleasant to the eye.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    That is probably wise, but since I have multiple T180 cameras, I don't mind testing the firmware on one camera to see if it makes an improvement. I don't recall if this was included in the previous firmware, but the color cast correction on this firmware works very well at night.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    I noticed that Dahua has a firmware update (2026-05-08) for this camera IPC-Color4K-T180 (IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE) on their site. I installed it on one of my two T180's, and it seems to be working well. Possibly IVS detection from the sides is better with this update. (fingers crossed) Here is...

    PTZ5A4M ?

    Not sure what is causing it, but the first thing I would try is a factory reset of the camera.

    Quick comparison video of Color4K-X Series 1 & 2

    The firmware that came installed on the camera was 2/6/24 (rev. 12), and I just now updated to the 1/14/26 (rev. 62). Note that this uses the newer interface, so series 1 and 2 use different firmware.

    Quick comparison video of Color4K-X Series 1 & 2

    Here is a quick comparison of series 1 & 2 of the 6mm Color4K-X cameras. I only made a video at night, since the cameras are identical during the daytime and provide an excellent image. One thing I noted today though is that the series 2 focus point is about 2 1/2 feet further than the series 1...

    Firmware for IPC-T54IR-ZE question

    I had been using the 3.142.15OG003.0.R.241221 firmware on all my IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 cameras, but updated them to 3.142.0000000.8.R.250826. No problems at all, but it should be noted that I did a factory reset of all the cameras first, before initiating the update. I keep a 128GB USB drive with all...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    While browsing my NVR today, found a clip that was saved on my NVR with the same cat, same time, 13 days apart. On the left is the B54IR-Z4E-S3, and on the right is the B54PRO-Z4E. This clip definitely shows how much better the S3 is in dim lighting conditions. I'm going to swap cameras again...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Here is a screen capture from the daytime. And yes, he could use some new tires. :oops:

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    The night settings I have found to work best for this particular setting: Brightness = 50, Contrast = 56, Saturation = 50, Sharpness = 19, Gamma = 50 Shutter 0-6ms, Gain 0-50, Iris = 100, Exposure Compensation = 50, 3D NR = 39, 2D NR = 34 For daytime, most settings are similar except: Shutter...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I didn't blur the plate out. He has painted some stuff over the letters of the plate to distort it, so it can't be read at night. Here is an extended clip...
