    AI Port from Ubiquiti is Here

    For now this is a joke... when they do device which will do AI for 4/8/16 cameras at good prices, then we can talk.. Especially that Hik/Dahua AI NVRs do that - so ready to use solutions are on SOC/chip markets..

    Camera/NVR questions for commercial property

    OK.. if this is 10 years system so you should look at Dahua NVR5232 model (PRO line, 2 disks, 32 channels) and as I told Dahua 5442 cams (54IR)... Yes, those cams/NVR are exactly the same as Dahua ones - the same hardware, firmware, connectivity, software.. only different brand/logo... 4Mpx...

    Camera/NVR questions for commercial property

    - You can mix cameras up to 12MPx on modern Dahua NVR... of course higher resolutions needs more bandwith and if You want to display them over HDMI (or analyze them using AI on NVR) also decoding capabilities... So You should check those 2 parameters in NVR spec sheet. - You didn't wrote what...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    At this moment ColorVu G3 is not available in distribution and there is not tests or reviews. But both are created on the same sensor and SOC (chipset) platform so they should have the same performance. PS. Lux ratings provided by both Dahua & HIK are completely made up and in many cases don't...

    1. first don't mix SMD and IVS... use only IVS, SMD disable.. 2. if You enabled IVS with AI by Recorder, log to camera web panel and check is IVS disabled on camera? if not, disable it... IVS done on NVR is enough...

    Alternative to ZeroTier?

    ps2. unifi routers have also Teleport feature for mobile/desktop clients... You install unifi app (wifiman, on google/Apple Store) and then in unifi router console generate for each VPN client unique link, which must be "clicked" in web browser on each device with wifiman... this link installs...

    Alternative to ZeroTier?

    OK - primary question: does this solution is only for VIEWING one camera installed on remote site? if yes, then why You need any VPN? Does Dahua P2P don't work over starlink?... You can give access to anyone using DMSS, simply giving camera serial number and user/pass with viewing permissions...

    Hikvision NVR with Motion Detection 2.0 for various IP cameras

    You didn't wrote what are those other cameras? if there aren't hik-vision and they don't support RTSP - then HIK NVR will also don't support it... this nvr is low-line acusense one... yes it can do motion detection 2.0 on all channels, but please remember that You must also check decoding...

    Does a 1/1.2” IR camera exist?

    I think that we will wait about month-two for final firmware... For now as I told there is factory firmware, two versions after factory (with small changes) and latest beta 00007.241018 with AI-ISP enabled.. I have installed it on many Color4M - on some it gives much much better results, but on...

    Does a 1/1.2” IR camera exist?

    NO - old Sony Starvis 1/1.2" 8Mpx sensor wasn't IR enhanced. So it was used only in white light cameras. There is a new version - from Starvis 2 line, which is IR enhanced as all sensors for CCTV cams. But I didn't see any Chinese camera based on it yet. If You look for something with IR and...

    camera detection / recognition research (what to buy and what is achievable)

    those SOC contains not only CPU (ARM cores), but also ISP, GPU and NPU - AI accelerator - very often even two running in parallel allowing to run 2 different models at once. Usually NPUs have power between 0.25 to 2 TFLOPs, but SOCs designed for NVRs can have more. For comparison very popular...

    Four cameras, two locations, one NVR

    Do you use double nat? why there is second router there? If both NVR and cameras are in the same network, them simply add those cameras over IP to NVR... if cameras are hidden behind second router (why???) then You must remove that router, use open ports / port forwarding or use P2P.. I...
