    Dahua Camera Times - How close from Cam to Cam?

    Surely not having the time and date is equally a problem in proving the video relates to the offence in question. I guess you'd have to ask an Attorney as to what's best. Personally, I always get BI to overlay any information as then it's uniform over all cameras. You're never going to get...

    Putting two new cameras online soon... settings question

    A simple tip: If you're worried about not being able to remember thje settings, screenshot every setting page and save the screenshots then you have a reference manual. If the picture or something else isn't great, you can always tweak from there. It gives you the backup you're looking for...

    Yes. Only 3 days left, so I timed it quite well.

    Abusive Boyfriend tries to run over girlfriend who jumped out of moving car - Instead Hits a Parked Car

    What's the nightitme performnance like on that ptz? Very small sensor. I noticed it looks pretty good on the lawn but then again a lot of light there. I alos noticed it didn't pickup or track the car at night in the background.

    BI 6.0.4.8 Install Failing

    Also try re-installing the redistributable. Remove it then reinstall it. You can probably get the download through Windows update instead of BI.

    Switching to new PC and STRUGGLING....

    I leave just a very small space at the end, but yes everything must total less than the total drive capacity. That's usually where the pie chart comes in as the most helpful as you can see all the individual allocations. Also, didn't notice if it was the case in your case, but the drive you're...

    Recommendation for a camera with great night view

    Might have changed a bit, from the Thinkware website: https://thinkwaredashcam.eu/dash-cam-legality-in-germany/

    BI 6.0.4.8 Install Failing

    If you think it's a Windows problem, run DISM commands to repair system files. That might be your best chance. Otherwise in the absence of a full system back up prior to installtion (do you have backup software or Windows Restore on?), you're looking at a clean installation of Windows & days...

    Recommendation for a camera with great night view

    There are drawbacks to a dashcam. You could disguise it. Put a cover over with a hole in it and hide the lens behind the hole etc. I really think it's your best solution. BTW I don't think bike cams are easily removed. I think they're usually on brackets fastened using Allen keys. Vandalism...

    Recommendation for a camera with great night view

    You have almost zero chance of identifying them from that height no matter how good the camera. As you can see you look down on the top of their heads, no camera, no matter how good will change that. You're only hope is they look up. The best camera for night colour is the 4kt but it has it's...

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    Haha. I'm hardly an expert and I'm quite sure they have their own experts who've calculated it all precisely and made decisions as to where compromise, if any, needs to be made. My point is not to rubbish anyone or anything, but simply to point out that compromises has to be made with existing...

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    UK had to restrict it's Motability scheme for disabled drivers after car companies started pushing high powered electric vehicles onto disabled drivers (all manufacturers face a fine for every non electric vehicle they sell, & garages earn more by selling more expensive models). So garages under...

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    That's an accident waiting to happen assuming it's not AI generated. Look at how little rubber contact there is with the road. Those wide tyres just became bicycle wheels.

    anyone willing to share settings for IPC-TPC124XB-AI-S2 1/2.7'' CMOS 4MP Thermal Network Mini Hybrid Bullet Camera?

    A good palce to start would be the universally recommended setting suggested in the wiki. Noting straight away here, you will struggle to get a good picture at night with that size (1/2.7" @ 4mp) of sensor.
