The current goto cameras are 4MP with a 1/1.8 sensor 1) More megapixel is not necessarily better. 2) Do not use reolink, ring, nest, Arlo, Vivint cameras (they are junk), absolutely no cloud cameras 3) Camera Sensor size, bigger is general better Sensor Size Chart 4) Camera lens size, a...

Start with one good camera, test your mounting locations, lens sizes. For what you appear to want to do look at Dahua IPC-HDW5442t-ZE or IPC-B5442E-Z4E ==================== My standard welcome to the forum message. Read Study Plan before spending money Cameras are for surveillance to get...

Following as I am interested in the responses, as night time photography is a very challenging area and the saying you get what you pay for really applies at night more than day. What I can say though, is all the ultra low light cameras such as the Startlight and Startlight+ all require some...

All good advice, thanks! I think a modified version of that is exactly what we're going to do. I'm going to help him put together a list of devices based primarily on what you've suggested above. I think he and I need to talk a bit more about his infrastructure before we decide on internal or...

Normally I would suggest buying an initial small number of (quality) hardware components. Pick whatever first tier name brand for AP, switches, and router. Purchase another 1-2 ultra low light cameras. But given the budget perhaps it makes sense for you to ask your friend to consider one of a...

Got a question on firmware for the DS-2CD2635FWD-IZS . My camera has firmware listed as V5.6.3 build 190923 from its systems setting page in the web gui. Yet the latest firmware posted by Hikvision is V5.5.61 per 3 MP Ultra-Low Light Network Bullet Camera . So I'm a little confused at what...

start with one variable focus 5442 dahua camera. Build a test rig ( a bucket of rocks and a 2x4) so that you can test the proposed location of the camera and the type of lens to use. ==================================================== My standard welcome to the forum message. Read Study Plan...

The very first post in this thread states the cams are Dahua HFW5241EP-Z12E. I have posted a few other LPR threads, as have others here. @coney27 really likes the cam below for LPR, but the max focal length is 32mm. But it has a nice accounting of plates internally that can be easily sent to a...

:welcome: You have pick a good starting point. Make sure your NVR can support the load from the cameras, Just because you have 6 free ports does not mean you can add 6 8mp cameras. check the specs on the NVR, it will have inbound and outbound data limits and processing limits. More MP is not...

Yea I'm not quiet sure why that setting is there either. I'd assume Hikvision left it in there just because. I'd love to be able to see a B&W picture with the 1/1.8th sensor which im sure would be comparable to a Darkfighter. Maybe test the low illumination scene setting? I'd bet there would be...

That is an expensive cam that only comes in either a 2.8-12mm or am 8-32mm varifocal lens. Most folks have found that 32 mm is not enough to get plates in a residential setting. You would have to look at the specs for the specific cam, not a line of cams. Does it have a proper focal length for...

Simple answer NO. You need a dedicated camera like the 2 MP DeepinView Ultra-Low Light Outdoor LPR Bullet Camera

Thanks. So I assume the Empire Tech version sold on Amazon of the: IPC-HDW5442t-ZE .... Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing -- variable focus 2.7 mm-12mm 4 MP Starlight...

On cameras if the sensor size is the same an 8mp camera will have 1/2 the amount of light per pixel as a 4MP camera. Most all the empiretTech cameras are Dahua camaera. Same as the Loryta it is also dahua. General advice buy one good variable focus camera so you can check that you have the...

Do not chase megapixels, more megapixels are not necessarily better. Camera Sensor size, bigger is general better Sensor Size Chart Use Dahua starlight cameras or Hikvision darkfighter cameras if you need good low light cameras. Start with one variable focus camera, check the lens and camera...

Running late on commenting on this thread. Get cameras and NVR from the same manufacture. Do not mix Chinese hacked cameras or NVR and international equipment. Some manufactures block mixing equipment. What you save in money you will more than waste in time. Read study plan before spending...

Wirelesss wifi cameras are not for security or surveillance. It is very simple to jam a wifi signal. They are ok for watching the bird feeder or the deer walking across your yard. Start with one good variable focus camera. If you insist on wifi go for 5GHZ it is less crowded...

Not sure the purpose of the cameras. But if they are REOLINK send them back. REOLINK cameras are pure useless junk. Mounting cameras on the second level of a house will show you what happened but not who did it. The object is to ID the bad guys and put them in jail...

I would recommend building your own system. Purchase an NVR and cameras from the same manufacture. The best cameras have a 1/1.8 sensor, the bigger the sensor the more light and the better picture quality. Start with one variable focus camera , use it to verify the correct lens and camera...

Thanks a million, Southern Yankee. All the best.

:welcome: There is a sub forum on LPR. For everything but the LPR I would use 4MP Dahua starlight %442 cameras. Start with on variable focus camera to verify lens, cameras locations. Use a test mount. Test at night with motion, have a person wear a hoody and ball cap, looking down , if the ID...

1) if using an NVR, get the cameras and NVR from the same manufacture. 2) do not mix international cameras and Chinese hack cameras on an NVR. 3) on a garage mount two cameras on the sides of the garage door, no higher than the top of the door...
