    School Thread: Lets stay educated and aware!

    Found the same one. I'm trying to understand how a "girl" with male reproductive organs can be considered a girl in the first place, let alone be permitted to use a locker room with girls who are biologically properly equipped as girls.

    Forgot which mm

    Without knowing he distances involved it's impossible to even start to guess. Here's a chart that might help. It's an approximation but even that's better than nothing.

    Unfortunately, he meant Conservative politicians work to stir up division to try and make us angry and afraid. He can't see the forest for the tress, still. That's a common trait of Marxocrats.

    Good cam

    4MP on a 1/3: sensor won't do very well at night. The 2231 or 3241 are better choices even though they are 2MP. Unfortunately they're also more expensive but do have the proper sensor/resolution ratio. Quick guide - The smaller the lux number the better the low light performance. 0.002 is...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    It's truly amazing how much damage, and how a stupid failure in the white House, well actually his whole team from the bar scene in "Star Wars", can screw everything up in such a short time frame. The damage is already immense and getting worse by the minute.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    I'm glad this got resolved. I hate to see disgruntled people on either end of any transaction. My personal experiences with Andy have been nothing but exemplary so this one really surprised me. All's well that ends well. Good job by both involved.

    h264 vs h265

    I think you're better off at least using the same encoding on both the main and sub stream though.

    I got lucky - and need to get lucky - here's why . . .

    Here's some more to have a look at. The 8MP cameras are amazing but are only truly useable IF you have enough ambient light, add some accent lights or use the onboard warm LEDs. Don't get too enamored with "wide, sweeping views" and the "I can see everything around my whole house" lines of...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Once I get it working I will. Solar powered accent lighting seems to be a good application for solar. Making it reliable is the big problem.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    I'm busy trying to "engineer" a reliable solar charging system for LED floods to add some light to the front where the 4K-T is. That was the plan when it was a 5442 as well. The problem with solar is the amount of time the panel gets "full" sunlight and how many cloudy days happen...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    In regard to the "white dots" situation. I went and examined the scene carefully and found lots of them. They appear in dark areas predominately, in my case. and some even appear and disappear as I am watching. That lead me to think it's algorithm related or setting related. I played with...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    I'd say those LEDs, at best, are more like a powerful cell phone LED used for a flashlight, but there are two of them. I have mine set at 5% to provide fill light in a shadow area near the camera. Yes, they can be seen but they are nowhere nearly as bright as a flood light or bulb.

    PSA: Beware of Auto Upgrade

    I use "no automatic updates". I believe "No update prompts" means it will do what it says, update and not say that it did.

    Here we go again(The hook up)

    Rob Reolink should take some time off and learn how to adjust a camera in the first place. Then he needs to learn how to slow down and do a real review. It's obvious he;s a Reolink fanboy from the very start so anything he says is already more than questionable.

    My daily tree and bush trimming crew right on time

    I really like that scene of, what think is, your front lawn Tony. The flag, the meandering road, the lack of traffic, the woods and the lawn all come together so well. Throw in the deer grazing and it's idyllic.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Given the vaccine isn't effective in the first place, as a true vaccine, and that the side effects aren't fully known either, I seriously doubt we've seen all the possible effects/outcomes. It hasn't dissipated yet in terms of side effects. That will take years to fully understand.

    If you could comment on the focus of the T versus the X and the T-2.8 versus the T-3.6, I'm all ears. To my old eyes they both look fine but to someone with sharper eyes and far more experience with video your comments would help.

    multiple always-on viewing stations

    The timeout in UI3 is easily eliminated. In the UI3 "UI Settings" section just set the "Idle Timeout" to zero. It stays on screen all day on my laptop that way, no problem.
