out of focus

[10geezer]

hi
DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-AS-LED

the above seems to be just out of focus in virtually all distances , is this just a fact of life with this model or is there anything that can be done

Video example would help

Yep video and screenshots of settings will help.

You could have too low of bitrate (should be 12,000), be on VBR instead of CBR, could be looking at substream instead of mainstream.

 

[10geezer]

BRF has responded ... Amended as follows

Backlight - off
Exp was auto now shutter priority 2
Was h2.65 now h2.64
Still as CBR
Bit was 8192 now 16000
Was 25fps iframe 50 now 15,15
3.6mm lens

 

[wittaj]

That should help a lot, but use manual 0-2 and gain 0-50 instead of shutter priority.

 

[bigredfish]

NO dont use shutter prio
Use Manual range 0-2

 

[10geezer]

logic for not using shutter priority , cos i use that to good effect with my zoom one ?

 

[wittaj]

Shutter priority will let the camera go to 100% gain and can create ghosting if there isn't enough light.

Manual allows you to control shutter and gain.

You should almost never use shutter priority and always use manual control.

maybe ive got away with it cos got ultra bright light on movement sensor so avoided the need for gain.
thought sutter priority forced a min shutter speed but allowed cam to amend to higher speeds if ambient light improves ?

 

[10geezer]

this is what gives stunning night images with extra light

 

[wittaj]

Shutter priority set to a range and manual shutter set to a range will both allow shutter speed to go faster if ambient light improves.

But the firmware is designed to favor a brighter static image, so a shutter priority with 0-8ms shutter may go to 100 gain because of low light and will result in just as poor as a 1/15 shutter if there isn't enough light.

You need to be able to control gain as well as shutter if you expect decent quality.


Having NR at 50 rarely results in stunning night images with motion - please provide a video example with motion. We don't care about static images as we aren't submitting photos to the County Fair LOL.

Lets see that with motion in a night video. Static images dont mean shit from any camera.

still getting used to this system , direct from nvr or via ip in pc. i suppose to send recording to you its easier to get it sent to pc so i can then bounce to you
is there a dummies guide to how this is done

 

[10geezer]

... the ip via pc doesnt seem to alow me to find some prev night footage ?

 

[bigredfish]

If you have an NVR go to Search and snag a clip.
Use IE or Edge in IE mode or you wont see all of the controls

so ive been past that but search didnt seem to find anything , got it so a days human events show but cannot get it to go to say 10pm on the bottom scale like normally does

 

[bigredfish]

Go to storage and make sure you’re recording full time as well as events.

 

[10geezer]

i have it set so it just records everything full time , i can in nvr/screen just search for human & it goes green to blue vert lines where humans found. storage main stream set to auto
