    Cam recommendation for new patio and parking

    I just moved and would like a cam or two for watching my cars and one on my patio for Amzon or whatever deliveries. I currently have two HFW1831EP 8mp 2.8mm/4.0mm, two T5442TM-AS 4mp 2.8mm, and one SD5A425XA-HNR 4mp PTZ. I may use one of the turrets or bullets for the patio cam if there's not...

    How to wire SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP power supply?

    I can't find my instructions and the charger leads look the same and I don't have a DIMM it's at work. If I need the DIMM to check polarity I can next week. Though I was hoping to install this weekend. As my PTZ randomly reboots but is back in around 1-2 mins, I have changed ports on the NVR and...

    NVR5216-16p-4KS2E changing IP cam internal ports from 10080- to 13,17,18

    I haven't seen this before and not sure the cause or what I need to change or look at. I may have caused it somehow going from my NVR to a POE for BI, though not sure how. I have no idea on that one could use NVR IP/Port and pass though streams. So I'll do that while I learn and try out BI and...

    HFW1831E 2.8mm vs 4mm

    I knew there was a difference but didn't think it was this much. I like the 4mm better then the 2.8 while wider not much use on the left side or far back. I just need two 4mm and wouldn't need the PTZ.

    Random loss of video or black capture in BI not sure why

    I'm just testing out BI/Deepstack and trying to get it all sorted before purchasing it. As I like my NVR and will keep it as a back up, but just looking for something better and easier to search if needed. Like the clips or split every hour feature and double stream recording for low then high...

    Question about possibly trying Blu Iris and keeping NVR as a backup

    I was able to get a 730xd with 2 xeon 4c 8t cpus and around 50TB of storage and 64GB of ram, but only putting around 10TB for nvr until the sas fail or I get bigger nas drives to replace the sas with. I want to also use part of the server for a plex server and file storage. So should I run...

    Changed my SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP PTZ upstairs window mount added HFW1831E as an overview cam and maybe to trigger the PTZ.

    and thanks to @Wildcat_1 my PTZ is pretty much great I just need to adjust for the move. So, now I can actually use the PTZ and zoom in on my cars or whatever and not have to rely on autotracking. Day is great with a hiccup now and then, night it ok around and before the sidewalk but past that...

    Moved my SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP PTZ from back patio to upstairs window

    I originally wanted my PTZ in the upstairs window as it was the highest point and a straight non angled view. Though, it would be behind glass and not the best I could work with it as I have in the past. This time it wouldn't work as to much of the side views where cut off and the glare even...

    SD5A425XA-HNR Tracking getting there but not quite.

    I'm messing with the auto tracking and it's ok but maybe could be better, not sure if it the angle or what but most subjects seem to not tiger the IVS. Also, will start out good then loose subject. Tried to blur out the kid and got it for the most part just trying to not post under 18...

    Well finally got my SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP PTZ mounted

    I finally got around to kind of ghetto mounting my PTZ, but it works for my need and has a better view than I thought it would. Gets a little wobblily if really windy may get another 2x6 and mount together or a angled post, though for the most part it's fine. I wanted a 4x4 but couldn't find one...

    Got my front door/delivery cam up and wondering Face vs Human detection on 5442

    I currently have face detection and works fine, but wondering if human is any better as it can log more info. Is there anyway besides snapshots/email to back up to like a FTP for off site/safe keeping? Also, I can see the AI logging into the NVR but is there any to see it in SmartPSS?

    Finally got to play around with one spot I would like to put a overview cam

    I have a nice spot in the brick wall I would to put either a 1831E or 5442, probably the 1831E as I can sit it in the bottom of the plus sign I guess you would call it. I tried both and there isn't really enough light for even for the 5442 to get good color. So, leaning towards the 1831E as...

    How and where to mount 5A425XA-HNR PTZ

    So, I'm hoping depending on the weather to finally mount the PTZ and a 1831E or 5442 as a overall view/spotter. Just not sure if I should just get a 2x4x8/10 and attach to a fence post or get like a deck block or two and make a mount. As my last PTZ was mounted above the window behind glass. So...

    So we are moving this week/weekend not far but hopefully better location not as much traffic and more housing and commercial shops. Only issue now is parking and may at times have to park across the street. So looking at a varifocal bullet or PTZ but leaning towards PTZ as would be easier to...

    Parking lot door checkers again

    I recently moved and thought I was done with the collage kids/crap, but I guess not. Luckily I have good lighting here and have good video. However I want to put up another cam now just focused where I park in hopes of getting more indefinable shots. I'm currently using a IPC-T5442TM-AS 4mp and...

    Installed a small system this weekend and one cam IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E 2MP 5.3mm ~64mm seems to have issues

    8MP IPC-T2385G-I (OEM HK Darkfighter) vs Dahua 4MP IPC-HDW5442TM-AS Wondering why the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS isn't any better but worse than the IPC-T2385G

    I have been playing with different cams to find the best for color in low light. So far I'm liking the IPC-T2385G-I best for accurate color and low noise, however as I don't have enough light to go above 1/30 shutter with out more noise than it's worth. Not to much blur if any around 20' or so...

    Dahua 8MP IPC-HFW1831E vs 8MP IPC-T2385G-I (OEM HK Darkfighter)

    After the recent guy checking cars I wanted something better if available so I tried the new IPC-T2385G-I from Andy and they will most likely be replacing my current IPC-HFW1831E. I got 4mm instead of 2.8mm to get a somewhat better view and more light over less area. So far so good better color...

    OEM 4mp IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+ Test of going back to old firmware from 190920 to 190521 Smart/Auto IR seems ok.

    After messing with different firmware and having the "Algorithm expired error" though it didn't seem to make any difference I flashed back to 190521 and was testing it out no issues so far and Smart/Auto IR is working ok. Still need to flash my other one and test IVS on the front door, but so...

    Going from TVI to IP

    I have been wanting to go from analog to ip for awhile only reason I hadn't was the price, since ip was twice or more compared to analog. I had found this form when looking and comparing ip cameras and low light technologies. I had seen a lot on HK and Dahua but was still out of my price range...
