    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I went down this rabbit hole recently as I was looking for a junction box for the NCD800. On Ebay at least, this box is advertised as fitting the NCD800 and the dimensions you posted. In case this link isn't working correctly, the model number for the junction box is DS-1280ZJ-DM55. When you...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    Wow. That looks great. So what is shown in the photo fits over a Sigma junction box? If so, is there an opening for the conduit?

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    I don't think think the TIOC is worth the price either, especially with that sensor and the fact that I don't intend to make use of the TIOC features. I have two FCD600s and one NDC800. The FCD600 has more than a 180 degree horizontal FOV, in my case about 10 feet more coverage on each side...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    The IPC-PDW3849-A180-AS-PV is a TIOC version of the 4k-T180 with a less desirable 1/2.7 sensor but with an IR illuminator. Where the 4k-T180 has dual 3.6mm lenses, the TIOC version has two 2.8mm lenses. I would assume that the FOV in the TIOC version is slightly wider given the 2.8mm lenses, but...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I know there isn't an official junction box for this camera, but has anyone had luck using another readily available box for it? I want to mount on a utility pole and would like to have the connector on enclosed somehow.

    How long should POE switch last?

    Well, it turns out it wasn't the switch after all, but the cable. About 30 feet of the cable run is on the roof and after only 2 years, the cable showed significant wear on that part of the run. The jacket was split in sections but I didn't see any exposed wires, but the cable was nonetheless...

    How long should POE switch last?

    It's a remote computer so I won't know until a friend of mine stops by to check it out, but all of the cams on that switch are showing no signal on Blue Iris. I have another switch powering 10 cams on the network that are working fine. My Blue Iris computer is connected to the suspect switch and...

    How long should POE switch last?

    I'm been running a Netgear 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Switch (GS316PP) since Feb. 2021 that appears to have just gone bad. The switch is a fanless design and worked great up until it didn't and powered 14 POE cameras and one POE illuminator. It just under three years within the...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I've been in contact with Andy about the firmware for the 437. The firmware my camera shipped with is dated 2023-02-04. It uses the old interface and generally works fine. There are three other firmware files released since--one from April 2023, another from July 2023, and most recent is from...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I'm using Edge in IE Mode and the images and search functions work fine for me.

    I stand corrected. That's a better price for sure!

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    For anyone looking for the Annke 8mp version of this camera (the FCD800), Amazon today has it for $169.99 with an additional $51 coupon at checkout--putting at about $120USD. That's the lowest I've ever seen this camera anywhere...

    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I'm inclined to pick up a 437 to replace my 237 while the 437s are still available (doesn't seem to many other 50mm or long range options for these cams). A couple of questions for any 437 owners out there: (1) can you send API commands to this cam using PTZ presets in Blue Iris like you can...

    100% CPU usage every Saturday

    I may give that a shot. I forgot to mention that I also have disk defragmentation turned off for all of the drives.
