    2mp during the day is ok, i struggle to get clear ID however from beyond 15-20m(people walking on the opposite side of the road) on cams zoomed almost all the way out for wider angles where i'm trying to cover a both sides of the road (i occasionally get kids throwing stone and eggs 1 or 2 a year).

    They're ok for my shop, they work very well during dim evenings but at dead of night where just a couple of street lamps light the streets, blurring becomes an issue with small fast objects like bikes and runners. details are rather basic, you won't see enough detail to see a branding badge for...

    dahua ipc-HDW2231RS-ZS 192.168.1.108 no it doesn't matter anyway, i think it was just my laptop being crappy, changed the codec to 265 and its now showing images albeit rather slowly. was shitting myself because all 4 of my cams were doing this lol thanks for replying anyway

    hi there, this might sound like a stupid question but do you know what type/size cable gland is needed for the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE junction boxes(PFA130-e)? i just received the boxes and realised they don't come with any...

    advice picking between low light cameras? (DS - 2CD2135FWD I)

    thanks aristobrat... again lol. i was just checking the shutter speed and 1/3s capturing a moving car i saw on youtube looked like a still image moving along the road. but yeah, i think i'm pretty much dead set on one of these turrets. The ipvm calculator sounds awesome and i'll look into it...
