    PT - New Dahua Camera Category and Models

    Getting that currently means at least doubling the camera cost. We were spoiled for a time with good low light capabilities mixed with low cost.

    KP7 Aurora June 1, 2025

    One of the more energetic events since last year's major showing. Color 4KT came through again. Intensity was just barely visible to naked eye, but the camera captured a lot of color that would otherwise be invisible. View is from east of Seattle and our clouds nearly ruined tonight's show.

    Owl Giving a Ride

    Bunny gets ride with Owl Uber. Gives only one star review. EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X managed incidental night capture while pointed out at field. Only IR light is from the PTZ. Capture was triggered in SecuritySpy bythermal camera pointed in same direction.

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    Finally replaced older PTZ4M-25X 4MP (less than ideal 1/2.8 sensor) with a PTZ5A4M-25X 4MP (on 1/1.8 sensor). Now I can supply a more direct comparison between the smaller sensor vs larger sensor PTZ's. Both are 4MP images, but the sensor difference is obvious. First is the 1/2.8 sensored...

    Cascades Sunrise on Color 4K-T

    Super nice sunrise over Cascades this morning. Start of video was almost black to the naked eye looking out window, but really shows up well on Color 4K-T

    Delivery Driver with pulsing IR

    Haven't seen this yet. Maybe active LIDAR self driving sensors?

    Blue Heron Eats a Bass

    Great capture. Totally agree, 24/7 recording (in addition to motion triggered recording) has been truly worthwhile for me as well. Motion triggers miss a lot of interesting stuff. Course that means I'm recording nearly 3 TB / day on the RAID.

    Mr. Bear on Thermal and Visual

    First black bear video of this year. Easy to spot on Dahua DH-TPC-BF5421 thermal, but in daytime he also shows up on IPC-T54IR-ZEB-S3. Action is 100 yards out from cameras. Although he usually seems a slow lumbering beast, Mr. Bear is way faster than I can run. Would not want him after me!

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    This morning the Color 4K-X 6mm caught crescent moon rising. Earthlight lit up dark portion of moon enough to be visible on 4K-TX sensor. The entire frame is supplied so one can see 6 mm focus is pretty good for distance and onward to infinity. I agree it would not be good for close objects.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Sometimes it takes three cams to get everything you want in one direction.... One for license plates, one for general street view, Color 4K-X for tight sky view.
