Hi C hris527, I don't have a definitive answer for you since I basically stopped buying that particular camera. However, anecdotally I will say that after testing a few of these in different scenarios here what I think (just my theory). The camera seems to perform well if it's physically...

Ok Fenderman...just sharing what I found. Thanks...

Hey Warptooper... I don't have any additional information on the sensor....but I've attached an example screenshot. As I mentioned in my review, I've run the gamut on price...from several thousand dollars (Hikvision), to this at three hundred dollars. If you know of a 4K PTZ camera with...

Hey everyone, I hope you are all coping with the current craziness! Back in 2018, I posted a review of the 4K Hikvision which had great performance characteristics but at a quite hefty price tag and extremely large and heavy footprint. Since then, I've been scouring the web for ANY alternatives...

Hello fenderman, Just so I'm clear, are you referring to the "Settings/Clips and Archiving" section where you configure export? The checkbox called "Add the camera's current text and graphic overly" seems to be the only one that makes sense. However, if I check that box and hit ok, it comes...

Hi Folks...maybe this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a reference. I use the IOS App on my iPhone10s Max, latest version of the app and logging in as administrator. When I scroll through the cameras on the main preview screen (where you see live feed thumbnails on the left and...

Hey bigredfish...in what ways do you mean? Are you talking about low-light performance? or something else?

Glad to see some folks chiming in here...Thanks Guys!!! Yeah, I saw that Dahua camera and like the specs...but it's the same bulky form factor as my monster Hik-vision (although a little less in cost). Given that 4K sensors seem to be popping up everywhere in bullet cameras (and only for a $150...

Wow...no replies??? I am surprised that no one has an opinion on this? Maybe this is only important to me....but that seems very strange. Still, this is is kind of the same "crickets" response I got about a year ago, so maybe that should be my first clue! :D I will just keep looking online to...

Hey folks...Happy Halloween to everyone! I've asked about this almost every 12 months or so, but thought I would ping the community again to get some feedback. I have been constantly on the look-out for some new products that feature 4K with PTZ capability. I find it strange that even now (it's...

Hey everyone....I decided to finally migrate my dedicated BI machine to v5. I had been testing the new version on my desktop for a week or so and everything was looking good...so I thought now was the time. Unfortunately, this one did NOT go smoothly. I don't really know why because I did the...

Update from my post of yesterday.... After first backing up settings I then uninstalled BI4. Then when I loaded up the new V5, the settings were indeed gone. But it was a simple matter of importing the saved settings to restore all my camera and web settings. One quick note, when I loaded up...

I also made the leap (finally) today September 28 2019. Smooth as silk, although I have yet to uninstall BI4, so we'll see after that. New interface takes some getting used to, and to be honest...it was one of the reasons I was holding off (old dog, new tricks kind of thing). Anyway, I decided I...

Hey Holbs, thanks for getting back to me! I won't be able to identify the rating on the cable until I get back to the property. But in any case, I am very excited to explore this option. I've ordered a couple already!

Hey Holbs...I just saw this and it looks cool! Potentially enables a scenario that I've been trying to find a solution for. So you are saying...if there is a phone cable already in place, that (with two of these)...you can turn it into an ethernet connection? Is that right, or am I mis-reading...
