    How high is too high?

    I thought about guy wires if I had to. If the dimensions help, I was looking at an 8” hole 4’ deep. The height issue I was thinking of is exactly what you’re addressing and instead of the 20’ on the telephone pole, I was looking at 15-16’ on the 3”x1/4. The red dot is the camera’s current...

    How high is too high?

    I own the pole. The problem is that when I put it up, I only had security lighting in mind. With the ability of this camera I’d like it moved another 40’ north so I can see all the way to the state road and completely cover the front and side of my house. I was going to set the pole in concrete...

    How high is too high?

    I’ve mounted my camera to a telephone pole and it’s about 20’ high. The location it’s in is not the best for a camera so capable. SO, I’m going to drop a 3”x1/4 wall square tube in the ground about 4’ at a more advantageous location. I was thinking about 16-17’ high. Has anyone mounted a ptz to...

    NVR5208-EI NVR

    If I use this NVR with my ptz, am I able to record continuously BUT, still have the ability to look at events that are triggered by a rule in a given preset? If I get this, I’ll buy Blue Iris as well to help manage it.

    Verifocal camera with sd storage

    If this camera lasts two years, it’s the best peace of mind I could’ve bought for the money. Zooming in at night offers some incredible shots. As far as I know I’m picking up every car that goes and comes past my house. During daylight hours I have ZERO problems identifying plates at close to...

    Preset locations with zoom

    That did it. Now it seems to be picking up from both going and coming directions. I’d also switched the zoom to manuel. I switched that to Auto.

    Preset locations with zoom

    Will do. I just don’t know why the blue box was around them and the person not targeted/recorded . I’ll see what happens throughout the day.

    Preset locations with zoom

    that’s what I got. I’ll delete one if need be. There’s two roads running parallel with mine in the foreground.

    Preset locations with zoom

    Yes sir. I see the zigzag and just as the walker breaches a zig, the blue box encompasses the walker.

    Preset locations with zoom

    Copy. I’ve got the contrast 8pts higher than brightness. Gamma is @ 50%. Is it ok if two rules overlap? Say the zigzag is in the intrusion area?

    Preset locations with zoom

    I set the tripwire and someone walking a dog was picked up and was outlined with a blue box but, the camera didn’t record or zoom in on them. It definitely recognized them though.

    Preset locations with zoom

    I’ve read your posts and learned it takes time for the camera’s algorithms to acknowledge an event/rule. I’m concerned that I’m setting a tripwire/intrusion too close to where a vehicle enters and that once they’re inside the rule area, I can’t pick them up anymore. It’s a give and take...

    Preset locations with zoom

    Does having a zoomed in preset location help trigger rules like tripwire or intrusion provided the rule was setup at that zoom/preset?

    Unable to set time plan for camera

    I’m trying to set a time plan on a SD5A425GA-HNR. I’m unable to add a night, general, front/back light etc. to the time plan settings. I can delete hours, copy and revert back to default but other settings are no bueno. Any ideas are appreciated!

    Nice. A nice man overseas recommended a NVR5208-EI this would do the trick?

    Night time events not picking up like days

    I wonder if it’s possible to set a rule as tripwire zoomed in at a point where headlights wouldn’t be an issue. Is it possible to program this action for night alone?

    Night time events not picking up like days

    IR is set to auto. Should I look at the shutter settings for night? Here’s some from yesterday and one from this morning. It is phenomenal and is doing way more than I thought was possible.

    Here’s a screenshot at 540 from dmss. I’ll log into the settings in a bit. Which settings? The camera picture, events or AI for that preset?

    Night time events not picking up like days

    My new SD5A425GA-HNR doesn’t pick up night time events hardly at all. Should I set different rules for night time? The camera sees everything perfectly…. They’re just not being recorded.
