Dahua T54IR-ZE-S3 - wow, what a contrast difference

Change to Customized Scene, make your adjustments, and then back to Day/Night Switch.

Yup, you were right about that. Had to go to Customized Scene then turn off AI SSA and apply it before the Exposure and Backlight options become available under the Day/Night Switch settings. Weird but Dahua probably calls it a "feature" LOL.

Are you running SmartCodec or AI codec?

Use General

To answer your questions I was using GENERAL. On this cam you have a choice of GENERAL or AI coding

BTW, why are using an I-frame of 60? Just curious.

I've experimented, still am, with 30 vs 60 (1x vs 2x)

There are some tests I've seen where the 2X Iframe helps reduce that tiger stripe/tailing blurry cloud we see on some cameras (like the 5442 series) with fast exposure and fast moving targets.

I'll see if I can find the one study I read that convinced me to try it.

You've seen my video samples, I think most are pretty good?

Do you have the settings for all cameras?

 

[bigredfish]

Each one is different. I only run the 60 iframe on two currently.

Probably with the 5442 cameras?
