    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    I am using a NVR8CH-8P-2AI with two 10TB WD hard drives.

    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...

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    I agree with the others above. If you don't have much light, the PTZ5AM-25X will work well. Here is an example with no added lights on my driveway--just the PTZ5AM's built-in IR. Also, the beta software of the animal firmware is working very well with this camera.

    PTZ Camera Recommendation

    BTW, the tracking on the new camera (PTZ5A4M-25X) is amazing compared to the older PTZ. Here is a cat about 50 feet away yesterday that the PTZ tracked.

    PTZ Camera Recommendation

    The new camera uses the same mount as the old camera. Very easy to swap out the old one for the new one.

    Error Msg when trying to access camera configuration

    Hope someone can help me with this. I just installed a new camera with my Dahua NVR. No problems with that, but when I try to access the camera (on channel 2) to make settings via the web interface on my computer, I get the message: “Please use HTTPS to access” I have never had that happen...

    Bird deterrent for turret cameras?

    Just wondering if any of you have suggestions for bird deterrents for turret cameras. Bird spikes work great at keeping birds off my PTZ cameras, but I haven't yet found anything that works equally well for turret cameras.

    PTZ Camera Recommendation

    I just replaced one of my SD49225XA-HNR cameras this morning with a PTZ5A4M-25X. It is definitely worth the upgrade; but as others have mentioned, it is a beast! Mounting it was more challenging than the old camera because the cable is so much wider and stiffer. Pushing it up into the mount...

    Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something

    Here is a pic of one of the cameras with a DIY windscreen. I used to do a lot of audio recording and had several black and gray windscreens for microphones that I could cut up and experiment using on the cameras.. For my black cameras I of course used the black windscreens, and for the white...
