    Dahua recommendation

    ps. animal support (dedicated AI models in IVS for animals) are supported only on 5xx2-S3 and 7xxx-X cams.. there is no NVR with AI animal models.. but if you have big dogs, most Dahua cams treats them as humans :)

    Dahua recommendation

    Three things: - Your cameras have basic AI - mostly IVS (perimeter protection) with human and vehicle filtering. As I understand You simply don't use this feature because Your actual VMS (synology surveillance station???) don't support them? And probably You never configured them to work...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    As I wrote this is Full video meta data. Go to smart plan in camera, disable acupick and after reboot select video meta data. No more configuration needed. Data received and displayed by any 5xxx NVR. In ai search you have options like human / faces / motor vehicle / non motor vehicle search

    Roast My Design Plan, Or Suggest Improvements :)

    A few days ago there was thread where someone wanted to use only 180 degrees cams (fixed and PTZ + panorama). Read my replies there, there is no sense to duplicate why 180 cams are bad idea...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    I used this camera model... please remember this have Z4E telephoto optics - so they are like 2x-8x on smartphones (normal varifocal models -ZE/ZHE are like 0.5x -2x on smartphones). Z4E telephoto varifocal capture 15 to 45 degree horizontal Field of View - they are ideal to capture car plates...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    If You have ANPR cams (dedicated one or WizMind-X 7xxx-X) then any NVR 5-series or up (5xxx-4ks2, 5xxx-EI, 5xxx-XI, 6xx-XI) can receive / search that data. If You have only WizMind-S cams (5442-S3) then You can have partially (graphical plate snapshots) LPR received by any specified NVR (screen...

    DH-IPC-HFW2449M-S-PRO 1/1.8"

    those 2449-PRO are a new product - which no one in this forum ever tested yet... there are cheapest model from a new WizColor category - which have a very good night performance, but everything else is cut to lowest price point... They are only Full Color cams - so they don't have IR (infrared)...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Dahua is blocking reverting to older firmwares based on older baseline (due security concerns). I thing the only way to downgrade in that situation, is doing it by RS232 port on camera motherboard - you can manually flash firmware... ps. never tried - so I'm not 100% sure it will work...

    alternative camera recommendation

    No one on this forum will recommend Reolink camera.. Especially ones with high resolution and small sensor size (wrong resolution to sensor size ratio) - they will have very bad night performance. Also there is no good recommendation for 4 PTZ cams (why?), 20 fixed lenses (why why???) one and...

    EmpireTech Andy - GB-APV1 8MP+4MP 25x - Question on dual lens down angle coverage?

    Yeah.. I propose classical project with 90/110 degrees cams on house corners... Your first projects almost look ok, with the exception of of 2 cams in front which should be mounted not at the end of front house but in the corners of front wall with walls of garage (so they will looks from...

    EmpireTech Andy - GB-APV1 8MP+4MP 25x - Question on dual lens down angle coverage?

    in that case PTZ cams don't have any sense on sides of building... there is so small space to the plot and plot is high - so visibility for PTZ will be small... please remember that maximal FoV for PTZ is 60 degrees (they can't work as wide overview camera)... on sides and back there should be...

    rapidly alternating between day and night profile at sundown? 5442 series

    you can do a difference - but not that big... ps. I don't like timetable changed manual profiles - they work bad in spring and autumn months. When the sunrise/sunset time is completely different on the 1st and last of a given month. This mechanism does not take into account different weather...

    rapidly alternating between day and night profile at sundown? 5442 series

    If You use automatic day/night switching then difference in Your day and night settings (shutter & gain) are simply too big. shutter is 4x longer, gain 2x bigger = 8x more light.. when camera see that day profile settings are not enough, it switched to night profile where it see too much light...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    they lying :) they didn't released any big upgrade with a new features for -XI in last 18 months.. only small releases with bug fixes / security patches (and empty release notes).. You are lucky that 5xxx-XI was launched half a year later than 6xx-xi, so in the base firmware you already have...
