There maybe some 'wasted' areas with 4mm, but with a 6mm I would lose coverage of nearby areas I want to see. The only way to then capture those areas would be to move the further camera away, which defeats the object. Look at your picture - the green area I want to cover almost goes to the...

Had another visit from my friend this evening. Unfortunately he didn't try my car so he didn't come too close to the camera, but the picture is a vast improvement on the Reolink camera. Bear in mind that it is far darker in real life than it appears in the clip and this is with no IR or LED on...

I meant to post that in the other thread :confused: never mind. Not sure what cameras my neighbours have. Some look like Eufy type and they got a better picture (though far better light due to closer street lighting. The clear picture was further down the street and I didn't speak to the owner...

This was from a clip that I posted. After speaking to neighbours, managed to get footage from their cameras (never knew there was so many cameras on my street until we started chatting about our recent regular visitor!) The guy in the image is white.

"@spacem do you have any video of persons moving like on the old vid? " Not yet in the dark (prefer not to show my neighbours so waiting for a delivery driver etc). Another thing to point out on the Reolinks, when I tried to take off the metal SD card cover on one of the cameras, the screw...

It's H265 at 8192 CBR and it's fixed 4mm. Shutter speed is 1/25. Backlight is off. It's far FAR darker out there in real life than it seems from the image, so that's why it doesn't look pin sharp. Produces a good identifiable pic at the range that want, particularly when the PIR activated...

In the end I've gone for the Hikvision DS-2CD2047G2-LU. The mini dome version was out of stock and the black version not available anywhere, so when I saw a bullet version going cheap on ebay, I went for that. I'll upload some sample images when I receive a delivery or something when dark. Was...

I was in the same position, though it was the Reolink 810A which I picked up - camera filmed a blurry unidentifiable mess when a thief called one night and he was less than 6m away. I've replaced with Hikvision DS-2CD2047G2-LU (Bullet version of Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU ) And happy with the...

These are images posted by ljw2k on this forum. Second image shows the effect of the tiny LED's. My entrance light only needs to light around a 33-50% of the distance shown to the back wall here.

Thanks I appreciate the advice and understand it, but not sure there's a full understanding my reasoning. My entrance light will not be a strong floodlight, but a fairly low power entrance light. They don't produce much light but will be plenty for this camera and any readjustment time will be...

It's not a floodlight it's an entrance light. Look at reviews of these cameras and see what a difference even the crappy tiny LEDs make. I'll post up the results when I fit them.

As mentioned earlier, I usually have a PIR door entrance light which will be more than strong enough to produce a good image with the Colorvu. I specifically don't want IR.

I selected the camera based on specs alone initially and then looked for reviews from there. It's very well reviewed on this forum and elsewhere and is one of the only options available as a mini-dome, which is what I'm looking for and perfectly suitable for the location it will be placed. I...

Has anyone got an account with DVS in the UK and can tell me the cost of these? https://www.dvs.co.uk/products/ds-2cd2547g2-ls2-8mm/ I'm being quoted £150 elsewhere, but DVS wont quote without an account. I can set one up via my business but not worth it if they aren't competitive.

"I cannot tell from your video above since it has infrared - do you have a house light on? Because if the only light is from the street, then the face will be dark and unrecognizable up at your car as the light will be coming from behind and then you get an image like this:" This is a good...
