IPC-T5442T-ZE blurry image area

[Baldcamman]

Anyone tell me why I am getting the blur in the red area? I have rebooted camera and everything else a few times and cleaned thecamera lens.

Id try aiming at a different spot temporarily and see if it's still there... if so that seems to be a smudge or defect on the lens. Can you show a short video clip of that same time?

Looks like an area where the lighting from the IR and the house light are not getting to it.
Are you using H265 processing? If so then H264 may help.

 

[wittaj]

Looks like H265 and macroblocking.

Try H264 at 8192 bitrate and CBR.

 

[bigredfish]

I suppose it could be h.265 and it is in the dark area...

 

[Baldcamman]

Thanks guys at work ar the moment.Will try some suggestion later.
I have 16 of the same cameras on the same Dahua nvr and none of the others have this problem.

 

[Baldcamman]

This is crappy picture before IR on.

 

[wittaj]

That is either the substream or you are still running H265 and/or the bitrate is too low.

As mentioned above, go with:

H264
8192 bitrate
CBR

 

[Baldcamman]

tried this no change

What FPS are you running?

 

[wittaj]

Are you making the changes in the camera GUI?

 

[Baldcamman]

Yes making changes logged into camera itself

 

[wittaj]

WOW. The 5442-ZE produces a much better image than that.

For kicks drop the FPS to 5 and max out the bitrate and see if it improves.

If not, I guess at this point try a factory reset in case the firmware got corrupt.

Since you took a picture of a monitor with a cell phone, we really can't see the best of that camera.

Looks like a whole monitor screenshot with the computer to me? I don't see the tell-tale wavy lines of a cellphone picture of a monitor LOL. Or I am tired LOL

 

[bigredfish]

Yeah somethings not right.

You need to go into the NVR, and using the snapshot tool grab a picture. Ideally when asked in your image program save as a .PNG


Check and make sure you have ROI turned off

Screen shot, no phone. I have 16 of these and all look great except this one. I think camera is failing.

 

[Baldcamman]

If camera fails, it would be the first Dahua I have ever had fail in 8 years.

 

[wittaj]

Did you add a camera recently to your system? If so, maybe you are at the capacity limits or approaching that of the NVR bandwidth and the NVR decided to arbitrarily lower the bitrate of a camera to keep it within limits?

If that isn't it, then I would try 3 factory resets and see if it clears any bugs that made its way into the firmware.

 

[looktall]

Is it only like this in live view? Or is it like this in playback also?

How does it look when viewed direct from the camera and not through the NVR?
