    Dahua turret set screw

    Well, just confirmed that the thread IS #10-32. I have a bunch of equipment rack screws (which are #10 - 32 threads per inch) from my audio/video tech days and the thread fits the screw hole perfectly. So, a #10 - 32 set/grub screw with a length of 3/8" (or 10mm) is what is needed. Don't forget...

    Dahua turret set screw

    I would have thought it to be metric since it is made overseas, no?

    Fixed lens turret smaller in size than a varifocal?

    One more thing regarding the IPC-T54IR-AS-S3, does it normally get warm to the touch during operation? The one I have feels like the outside of a mug with hot coffee in it. Normal?

    Property marker LPR camera

    After seeing the mailbox camera LPR thread, I had a thought to design a property marker post LPR installation at the end of the driveway using a varifocal turret camera hidden in a vinyl fence post designed to look like a number marker post. Camera is a used Empire tech IPC-T54IR-ZE that I...

    Fixed lens turret smaller in size than a varifocal?

    I must be at the point in my life where I officially hate change. These new designs were engineered by those who say, I know it ain't broke, but we're going to fix it anyway! It needs a refresh! Has no one ever heard of the K.I.S.S. rule in design?

    Camera suggestions for dark areas at night

    The 12 to 13mm would still be ok, I think. I'm trying to replace all these 8MP 1/2.8" sensors as they are crap in low light situations. The one at this location is over 5 years old, and it will need to be replaced sooner than later anyway. I really see no advantage to 8MP sensors for my use and...

    Fixed lens turret smaller in size than a varifocal?

    I did find a setscrew in the back where can be quite difficult to access depending on the install. Why did they change the mount design? It was perfect! Not a fan of the new mount

    Fixed lens turret smaller in size than a varifocal?

    Just received my first EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 fixed lens 3.6mm turret camera and first thing I notice is that the camera housing is quite a bit smaller that the EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE I have. The second thing I notice is the mount is completely different. There really is no way to lock the...

    Camera suggestions for dark areas at night

    Ok, just checked the zoom on the current varifocal LOREX camera at this location. With it zoomed to max (12mm), the FOV is perfect for what I want, so I have some wiggle room with the Z4E which is 8 - 32mm zoom
