    Anyone ever see this?

    If heat haze wasn't a thing I could totally see it! That's sort of the reason I have been cautious about going with larger optics and have been pretty satisfied with the standard 25x with some digital after. That said, not all 25x are created equal and there are some hair splitting discussions...

    Anyone ever see this?

    Totally agree and as someone who has been in professional digital video/photography since its origins I understand the physics :) With this specific use case however, I do have to be a pixel chaser somewhat, as the subject for this camera is never closer than 1.5 miles and max about 10 miles...

    Anyone ever see this?

    Thank you all for the speedy replies! Yep the plastic is off and the lines sort of come in and out based on picture contents. They seem to like blank areas but I can still see them in detailed objects as well. I've tried a few different cables and power sources (even 12V battery system) and...

    Anyone ever see this?

    Can't get rid of these vertical lines no matter what I do. Image, encoder, etc every possible setting has been adjusted and I think it's the sensor itself but wanted to see if any of you have experienced this. Have also tried 12v 3a and PoE. Cam is a SD49825GB-HNR

    Looking for VERY specific PTZ

    I will keep you posted and for a project like that where coordinates and preset accuracy is key, it may be difficult! SO many of these units have positioning drift issues. I feel like we're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole :) Repurposing security cameras for studio work haha. Used or...

    Looking for VERY specific PTZ

    Hello everyone! Long time :) I have a weird one and am hoping ya'll can help me out. I have tested a handful of PTZs on the market to no solid avail. The use case is an airport about 1 mile away from the cam. We have clear view of runway/taxi/takeoff/landings/etc but wow has it been a...

    IP Cam in a car -- It works better than you think.

    Yep with $400 in parts that's more than possible from a tech stack perspective, so it's just a matter of creating the proper UX that makes it a more viable option than radio feedback/instruction/guidance.

    IP Cam in a car -- It works better than you think.

    Yep I'm still active-ish (At least still receiving alert e-mails, apparently haha) And if your first question is whether or not you can stream an RTSP feed from a small scooter to an NVR, the answer is yeah, why not! :)

    IP Cam in a car -- It works better than you think.

    Completely possible (...sorta) I did exactly this years ago to prove a point then and it actually ended up working quite well. Back then, cars had less fickle 12v systems so I doubt I'd want to try this nowadays but maybe it all depends on make/model. This was from a project back in 2012 using...

    Monitoring Status of Cameras

    Nagios can notify you after doing intelligent deeper inspection via HTTP, SNMP, SSH, Telnet, etc. More usefully, I use it to LOG INTO the camera interface using credentials every 5-30 minutes depending on camera and location. I've found if the UI can't load through the authentication process...

    Inline POE switch

    I spent a while stress testing and to learn its limits. If you don’t already have one and are into little handy tools for the collection, pick up a PoE multimeter. Little tiny box with a screen that displays power, amps, voltage, etc. Great for troubleshooting longer distances or sketchy wiring...

    Inline POE switch

    (I used plain old 802.3af in the tests illustrated in those photos.) The box accepts both and the packaging and specs prefer AT, but I’ve never used them on anything other than AF.
