    WD Purple HDD sale

    I use two WD Purple Pro 10TB hard drives in my NVR, and they have worked well. They were each $250 at Amazon. A couple weeks ago they rose to $260+ but have since dropped back down to $250. I'd definitely recommend them.

    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    Ha ha, yeah I saved up for a calculator for two years in high school when TI calculators came out. The choice was either a TI or a HP with reverse Polish notation.

    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    On some tasks Macs are always playing catch-up, however, I prefer using a Mac over a Windows machine. The best way to describe it is by taking a drive into San Francisco. In San Francisco, you can always see your destination, but just before you get there you’ll encounter a one-way street you...

    Questions on animal detection onT54IR-ZE-S3 and no push notification on DMSS app for animals

    What resolution settings are you using for the 4K B180? Have you tried 4096 x 1216? It is much less distorted.

    IPC-Color4K-T 4K

    As an example, the first pic is the settings for one of my 4K-X cameras, and the second pic is the settings for a 4K-T camera.

    IPC-Color4K-T 4K

    When I had a couple of the older PTZ's (SD39225XA-HNR), I disliked having to alter the day/night settings each month using IE, so the little bit of pain of about 1/2 hour, entering the values for the schedule for these cams, seems not nearly as difficult. Someday I think I'll write an...

    IPC-Color4K-T 4K

    It's also helpful to do a Google search of sunrise/setset times for your location (including when daylight saving/stadard times start and end). Type in the values for each month in the plan, and it will look something like this.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Every situation is different, so using one camera will always be a compromise. I like to mix and match because each camera is unique and adds something that another might miss. As an example, I use four cameras for my driveway: Color 4K-T180, PTZ 5A4M-25x, Color 4K-X (6mm), and B54IR-Z4E S3...

    PTZ5A4M-25X IVS Issues

    I was having the exact same problem with my camera. I climbed up on the ladder and did a factory reset of the PTZ, and that solved all the issues. I have since installed the latest beta animal software (build date: 3/17/25) from Andy, and it has been working great. Here is a screenshot of what...

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    It sure was. No plate on the back of the car at all. His marker must have run out of ink.

    Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)

    One of the things that has always annoyed me regarding the IPC-Color4K-T180 camera is that the detection area only works well in the center of the camera. Anything to the sides—especially corners—is worthless for detection, whether it be an intrusion zone or tripwire. Raising the sensitivity...
