    Thoughts on new DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 4MP PTZ?

    For anyone thinking of buying this camera, don't bother. It was sold off cheap by UK distributers when the installers realised you can walk up to it and twist it with the strength of a 4 year old and walk away with the camera in your pocket. The mounting system is plastic and cheap and IK10 is a...

    Has anyone tried the Dahua IPC-PDW5849-A180-E2-ASTE with Hikvision NVR? Will the NVR see it as 2 seperate cameras or will I need the Dahua NVR? Any help would be good.

    2Mp or 4Mp? Yes, I've read the reviews :-)

    The road is really dark so like I said I tried blasting it with IR and then I can increase the shutter really high. The car doesn't really matter as long as you get the numberplate. I think a 22mm lense would be perfect. The speed limit is 30mph to I don't have to set the shutter higher than...

    This is the same camera during the day, the sun can ,make a huge difference but the numberplate always comes out crystal clear. Then I have my 4MP colour that get the colour ID of the vehicle during the day.

Let me find one during the day. The frame rate says 25FPS according to the software. The camera does 3MP but I set it...

    2Mp or 4Mp? Yes, I've read the reviews :-)

    Probably going to upset a few people on this forum but I always wondered why my 4 year old 2MP IP Chineesium cameras out performed my 8MP hikvisions and Dahua 6MP in the dark. Its not just a little different there is a huge difference. I thought nah this can't be right as they are only 25$ but...

    Will 4MP IP cam set to 2MP resolution in the GUI improve quality on a nightime or is the software just fudging the resolution?

    Cheapy 2 Bullet DIY combo giving a 180 view.

    Just made up a twin bullet combo for a full 180 view with IR illumination underneath. Cables come into the adaptable IP66 box rear entry. Figured out that my PTZ wasn’t practically covering what I needed; quite a large open area. This is just a cheap combo of 4MP cameras running POE from my...

    POE Cameras vs NON POE

    Ok so you think the POE adaotor inside the camera is passive and would allow a 12V feed to power the camera ? That’s good news then .

    POE Cameras vs NON POE

    Just wanted peoples views on this one. I have over 30 cameras installed and they all have POE built in. I was wondering if I would have been better buying NON POE cameras and using the POE to 12v Adaptors next to each camera. All my cameras run from POE switches. The reason I ask this is because...
