    Why 2 different IR LEDS on the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3?

    Different lens / reflectors.. One give wide beam, second narrow one It’s very good system which allows to configure very uniform IR lighting for full video frame depending of distance from camera to objects / ground and optical zoom level. other models should have this Turret 5442 don’t have...

    Dahua White LED turns on when motion detected?

    if you have WizColor cam (even 2449-PRO) then TIOC-PRO (3449-PRO) will NOT upgrade anything in night video performance.. Sensor and ISP is the same on both cameras.. 5442 will be probably some downgrade for you. 5442 have little better sensor (less noisy), but have much closed aperture (F1.0 on...

    Can WizSense DVR provide human/vehicle detection with regular HDCVI cameras?

    I will give you the same reply as on reddit: Always better performance will be with IP solution only. Especially when done on medium/higher models, not the cheapest ones... Analog DVR solution is only for situation when You have existing analog cameras You DON'T want to upgrade. Modern DVR can...

    Connecting to 2nvrs together through port forwarding on separate networks

    the most secure solution is using some proper PRO routers (like something from unifi catalog UniFi Cloud Gateways - Ubiquiti) and create peer-2-peer VPN between two sites.. if this is not possible, then you must enable access to port 37777 from smaller NVR to bigger one... you can do by port...

    Dahua White LED turns on when motion detected?

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    normal turret 54IR cams have bad not uniform IR with much stronger light in the middle, but your camera is very bad here.. like broken one... bullet 54IR have much better IR, with separate narrow and wide IR's and ability to configure proportion to have almost flat IR... Color4M-T have little...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    no, basic sensor technology is similar.. main difference is ISP - image signal processor - which reconstruct color image based on RAW data from the sensor. TIOC-PRO was a first cam where Dahua did huge step here - using modern technology from mobile / sport / drone cams world.. classic 2D & 3D...

    Dahua released spec sheets for those new WizColor 5xx9-PRO cams... And it looks like they bumped third digit in models names from 5x49 to 4x59 - to show that this is BIG UPGRADE in technology... As a reminder - the 3rd digit in the Dahua model number indicates the technology generation: xx0x...

    Color4K is a toy with a lots of problems.. And it's old model.. You should look at TIOC-PRO and 54IR cams... TIOC-PRO have better color performance at night, is dual light (IR + white) but for now is only available in fixed lens config (2.8 and 3.6mm).. in a few weeks there should be varifocal...

    more interesting is the same AI models used for detecting humans / vehicles can be used: for AI codec - to increase compression quality inside/around humans/vehicles (at a cost of background), for AcuPick 1.0 - to detect and report people/cars (even static ones) to NVR, which will analyze their...

    SMD designation / versions tells how good AI models are in specific camera... if camera can do only SMD+ it means have very low powered AI accelerator which can do only smallest (most distilled) AI models... the same AI model used for SMD is used for IVS. Simply IVS just adds extra conditions...

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    this cam is from very low line (2449). it have very low spec SOC, which don't have power to support sensor full resolution - it does only 20fps.. to have full fps you must decrease resolution.. From spec sheet: Main stream: 2688 × 1520@(1–20 fps)/2560 × 1440@(1–25/30 fps) it have only white...

    Using the "experience database" in the 5442 s3 cams

    for recording 24/7 there is NVR / BI... I use camera sd-cards as BACKUP and they record only events... backup for situation that HDD in NVR will fail.. or someone will stole NVR (I usually mount them somewhere next to some TV).. there is no need to backup recording where nothing happens...
