Thanks for the info I did already go through the cliff notes and the Wiki when I first signed up but your Quick Start list is helpful. I'll take a look at the cameras you listed as well. I'm definitely reading, studying, and planning, and this site should really help with that process.

:welcome: ======================= In my opinion the primary cost in a surveillance system is the installation time and the time to configure it correctly. The actual hardware cost is low. If you try to go the cheapest route you will end up doing it twice. READ STUDY PLAN Before spending...

Start with one variable focus camera, so you can test the mounting location and the lens size you need. The best consumer camera has a 1/1.8 senor. IPC-HDW5442t-ZE Test at night with motion. Test with a "Bad guy" wearing a hoodie looking down. If you can not ID him, you need a different...

That's good, thanks. Yeah, I don't expect to be able to make out a hooded masked guy in the middle of the night. I'd say my expectations are relatively low/reasonable. Just knowing, "hey someone was on my property at this time and they are wearing a hoodie" is probably sufficient. 1. I'll...

That's great, thanks. So how about a small business, what would they typically use? Let's say a restaurant, gas station, laundry mat, that kind of thing. I'm sure they aren't paying $1,000 per camera, are they? Are they just using the consumer Chinese junk too? Basically the same as a home...

As stated above. good night vision and 4K is a conflict. The best night vision consumer cameras have a CMOS sensor 1/1.8. Video quality is the sensor size not the Megapixels. Read study plan before spending your money. ================================================ My standard welcome...

Start with one good quality variable focus camera, test the camera at night with the "Bad Guy" wearing a hoodie looking down. If you can not ID them then your camera is in the wrong place. As a note, I have two cameras mounted on the garage one on each side no higher than the top of the...

Howdy, no worries RE posting the firmware update, happy to help out. Now that you have 5.5.6 build 200628 installed you can install the original version of 5.5.6 build 180511 or whatever other version you like (e.g. 5.5.0 170907) and see if the flicking still occurs. With the flicking I don't...

I love my 2 MP DeepinView Ultra-Low Light Outdoor LPR Bullet Camera

As with all cameras the need some sort of light to work well in low light. The 5231 is excellent, but there are better. See the threads on the 4mp starlight cameras. You will still ned light. I dont think you understand what exir is...all ir light on cameras are visible. You will not find a...

I have Dahua 2mp IPC-HFW5231E-ZE but it cant normally work even at last firmware. it is noisy, low WDR, and cant work without IR light. IR light is very visible and not EXIR type, only round in centre it have VERY slow PLAY speed (microsd card in it 90/90 mb/s sandisk extreme ultra)...

Thanks bigredfish. Where does one purchase that camera? I know I can get the Dahuas from Andy, and have purchased quite a few.

As @bigredfish said I would probably use one of your trees as a mounting location. I use Hikvision's 2 MP DeepinView Ultra-Low Light Outdoor LPR Bullet Camera and I love it. It automatically reads and logs the plates for easy searching and reviewing

To help with the sussing, check out the Min. Illumination spec <the color value, specifically>. While that spec is specifically for how much light the camera needs to stay in color mode (lower lux values are better), it's been a pretty accurate way to rank cameras in terms of how they do...

Strange. The IPC-HDW5231R-ZE has a varifocal lens.

thanks. I have one of these with a 2.8mm lens https://us.hikvision.com/en/products/cameras/network-camera/performance-series/outdoor-turret/8-mp-ultra-low-light-network-turret-camera-ds-2cd2385fwd-i I wonder how it compares.

Thanks for your excellent research!!
