    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    Andy replied after my last thread saying he was going to get lenses from the OEM so I didn't pursue this any further. Cost is also a contributing factor. I haven't been able to get the replacements below $25 ea. Is there a market for $30-$35 lenses after packing and shipping? I can revisit this...

    Fiber to detached workshop options

    This fell off my radar for a bit as some priorities shifted with the build. I want to thank everyone who jumped in with info, I clearly have to do some reading and learning about fiber before moving forward then figure out my network options. I am no where near a networking person beyond...

    Fiber to detached workshop options

    I have a 3/4" conduit ran between the house and workshop for comms (just under 100 ft from the network closet to the point of entry into the shop. What fiber should I run (I don't currently own any fiber compatible switches but plan to do some purchases in the next few months as the shop gets...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    When you say it's not accessible from the network, are you losing video feed or can't login only? Can you ping it during the loss? I'd start with process of elimination and try a different port or switch all together. Then consider the buried wire next.

    Tinycam Pro on Fire HD 10 tablet for door cam monitor

    Thanks everyone and my apologies about overlooking that I input it in the BI sub. I was scanning for a proper forum and overlooked BI when I saw Android. Mods, please feel free to move this thread to a more appropriate sub.

    Tinycam Pro on Fire HD 10 tablet for door cam monitor

    This particular deployment will have only an IP camera (a 2nd may be deployed down the road but not likely), a recycled combination router/switch/AP and a tablet for 24/7 viewing on a very tight budget. There isn't/won't be internet or another computer either.Would BI need to be the paid version...

    Tinycam Pro on Fire HD 10 tablet for door cam monitor

    I'm looking at picking up a Fire HD 10, 11th gen (3 gig version) to use as a dedicated monitor next to my front door for full time display of just one camera (may consider 2 down the road but 1 will suffice). I've seen discussions about using Tinycam Pro with the fire tablets but nothing...

    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    Just to update this thread, I received a sample lens and have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I have one source looking into the feasibility of a plain glass replacement and another looking at acrylic. We are also looking into poly with a UV coating. Pretty much, it's a waiting game at...

    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    Wow, that's a tremendous difference. I can't understand why they would use polycarbonate on something they know is going to get ultraviolet exposure like an outdoor camera does instead of glass.

    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    I sent you my shipping info. Would be best to post a pic or 2 of the lens detached and let's give Andy a day to weigh in in case he has access to replacements already or can provide details on what the factory material is.

    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    I have the resources to get these made (assuming Andy can't get replacements) if someone has the details of tearing down the camera without ruining it or if someone wants to send me a cloudy one they've replaced, that would be even better (rather not tear my cam apart, I haven't even installed...
