    OMG Thermal!

    I'll chime in. I have a new affinity for the thermals. Love them. Have three TPC-DF1241-T-S8's. The -T version allows temperature alarms to be set, along with Fire Detection, Cold & Hot Spot Trace, Human & Vehicle Classification, Smoking Detection and Call Detection (on a thermal?). As I...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Didn't know that hard working dude would use one of the progress pics......! Wasn't out of there yet. Better. I have some video from the EI NVR of them actually working, in the real world. I'll put together a little "commercial" for the T-180.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    That PFA122 is slick. My new favorite J-Box. Waterproof to boot. So clean looking. All the Dahua accessories are.

    IP66 enough or go for IP67?

    This is from memory. (from phone specs) IP66: no submersion rating IP67 can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes IP68 can be submerged in 3 meters of water for 30 minutes Lower IP number = lesser protection. Either way, IP66 or IP67 is plenty for what they are subject to, IMHO...

    Trying to recover 2231R-ZS. Can still get an IP, not yet bricked

    Every time I've failed a reset, I didn't hold the button down long enough. Have seen just the partial reset and needed to hold it in longer. Use a robust 12V (3-5A) 3rd party power supply when powering up. I think I'm holding it down long enough. I've had to time it. SD

    IPC-Color4k-T question

    The color 4K's are impressive. The planters/flowers really pop on the dock. Sodium lights on the bullet killing the white balance. Great examples. Thanks for taking the time. Gotta love those 1.2" sensors.....

    IPC-Color4k-T question

    @wittaj Which 4K Full Color have the 1.2" CMOS? I can only find them in the 1.8", which is a worthy sensor in itself. Only the large SD8C845FG-HNF PTZ has the big sensor (IMX585) that I could find. Wish more had the 1/1.2". The 1.8 is excellent though, and the 1.2" is not cheap.

    Why Buy Dahua?

    I totally agree, but there are others that don't. They work as advertised for my intended use. I have 3x SD59's and an SD6AE in service and they are great. I also have 2x SD49's and they are impressive in low light as well. SD

    Why Buy Dahua?

    Hard to beat the SD49225T-HN for value (Dahua PTZ). No tracking of its SD59 big brother, but tracking doesn't work as well as everyone's expectations. The SD49 family (12x & 25x) is in the low $300 USD range, and the SD59's are $500+ USD. They use the same starlight sensor...

    PTZ Camera's PT Motor Frozen - Needed a Power Recycle

    Happened to my SD6AE240V-HNI here in Upstate NY during a freezing rain event. I was able to review the playback and watch exactly when it occurred. Recording from the mic sounded like the gear train "slipped" and all 6 presets were off after that. I assume cams of this quality have safeties...
