    Latest SmartPSS 2.003.0000004.1.R.230310 refuses to run new cameras added via IP/port (37777)

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    Does 5xxx-XI have working AcuPick over web interface (when You play any footage over web - like search results - is there AcuPick icon to search similar people/cars - last 4th icon on screenshot below)? Can You put screenshot of main web page with icons after login - what version of UI it have?

    Why do "high end" cameras use a 1/2.8" sensor?

    Color at night is very tricky. Even with large sensors, big open apertures (not sharp image) and AI image processing. in most cases we can have good results with static image but mediocre - semi good with people/cars in motion. In comparison IR simply works - and you can have sharp not blurred...

    IP Cam with interchangable lens mount and large sensor

    There are a few cams with 10 Mpx 4/3" cameras on the market.. Bigger sizes are not available because no one produces bigger sensors for cctv market (they must be IR enhenced - each pixel in each color must see also IR - which is not typical for DSLR's sensors)...

    Why do "high end" cameras use a 1/2.8" sensor?

    Both Hanwha and Axis have higher models with 1/1.8" sensor, Axis have 1/1.2" and is going even to 4/3" in one model.. Hanwha X is only higher (PRO) line , Hanwha P line is high-end one.. bigger sensors require much bigger optics which require much bigger chassis - so they usually limited to...

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE S3 strange audio electrical noise

    Full WDR (>=45) triples how many shots are done by camera (3 per each video frame). Also increases a lot image processing by SOC (combining 3 shots using HDR algorithm).. Both increases a power usage... try on different POE switch... if this is high pitch, looks like some coil whine...

    Trying to figure out if I should get an SD card...

    In most cams (bullets & turrets) You can install sdcard when cam is installed without changing cam FOV (position/direction).. the sd card slot cover is easily accessible from the bottom of the camera even when it is installed

    Samsung EVO is NOT designed for 24/7 writing scenarios (cctv, dash cam) - it will die after a few months of 24/7 writing data... Only cards with Endurance in name (Samsung Endurance Pro, SanDisk High/Max Endurance etc)...

    For CCTV or dash cam usage You must use only Endurance series cards... they are designed for 24/7 writing scenarios - have very high TBW (terabytes written) parameter... normal lines will die after many months of 24/7 data writing... I use Samsung Endurance PRO (it have highest possible TBW)...

    Is the Dahua HDW2231T-AS-S2 better than HDW2241T-S?

    both at very low-end spec cams... 2241 have some basic AI (SMD & IVS).. 2231 will have old web UI which require old Internet Explorer with installed plugins to operate.. 2241 probably (not 100% sure) have a new UI which works in any modern browser without plugins.. Both BlueIris & Frigate (with...
