    The official "WTF" thread

    I didn't watch the whole thing, but the officer was a bit of a dick. The first thing I thought when he said the registration expired in 2021 was that he hasn't driven it, and is taking it to get it caught up. Chances are, being NJ, they need to inspect the VIN since it's been out of registration...

    I can, but I doubt I will get anyone walking by at night.

    Yep, that looks the same as what we deal with when it snows.

    Current mid-range view. Even with the snow I don't think it is horrible.

    This is only with snow, and only on my 5442s. That comment was only in regards to the triple lens.

    I will also add, that having my ranges set 0-3.33 during the day, sometimes it's so bright that I have had to put a .X value in for the bottom end to keep it from closing up.

    When it's coming down? Yea, it can be bad. Not as bad as static on the TV, but similar. My rear camera was being alerted non-stop. Generally, it helps at night. I just wanted a worst case capture, and also with the path not being cleared no one has been able to walk back there.

    This is the most recent night capture I have from before the snow hit.

    I haven't done much to adjust settings at this point other than guessing, and mostly on the exposure/gain side of things. With the snow right now I both don't want to be outside and not sure I would get an accurate representation. Hopefully I will be able to get back to it soon.

    My understanding is that Exposure Compensation should only work with Auto, but in some models/firmwares you will see a difference even when set to Manual. Most of my 5442s will show a change when set to Manual. I don't think I am having any issues like what you are describing. All of my views...

    Dual NIC setup switch type

    I run 3 ethernet ports. The onboard MOBO port and a dual NIC. MOBO port is set to the Dahua subnet of 192.168.1.XX. This then connects to a POE switch. When I get a new camera I can just plug it into that switch, navigate to 192.168.1.108, change the IP to desired, and then plug it into the...

    Yes. You can actually choose which channel(s) are recorded when triggered.

    Yes, the IVS triggering is not all that great. I get almost nothing but 2sec clips for the Pano view.

    FedEx Delivery Fail

    I ordered 50lb dumbbells that showed up with barely any box remaining, it was ridiculous. Don't ship them if you're not going to properly package them.

    Why I am finally upgrading cameras

    I am not 100% certain how SFP works, but I would think you could use a media converter on the house side and then the POE switch I linked on the camera end. I would think you could also use one of the POE switches on both ends, if you wanted to power cameras at your house or plug your NVR/BI PC...

    I still need to work on settings, but it seems to be doing a better job than the Z12E at night. This is likely due to the amount of IR it throws out.

    PSA: Physical Gift Card Fraud

    I don't get it when someone gives me a gift card that cost them money to put money on. "Want to put $20 on this? It's going to cost you $5..." Just give me cash.

    No snow here yet, but the temps are just too cold for me to mess with it right now. I'll test as I can.

    Why I am finally upgrading cameras

    I have not used the SFP portion of this switch, but use these 4 port gigabit POE switches in a couple locations and have not had any issues from them. https://a.co/d/9AdNSF1

    Maybe, maybe not, but the area 200' beyond where I am wanting to capture people appears to be in better focus than the people 65' away.

    Yes. I guess I could have added more information. I have 3 camera profiles in BI. Each with the same IP, but different Main and Sub settings.

    How would I know if I can manually adjust the focus? I want to change the focus of Distant View. It's too far out, and I would like to bring it closer. @EMPIRETECANDY Do you know if I can open the camera and change focus?
