    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    Actually, as far as I understand it, it'll use 4 FR channels from 4 "normal" IPC or 16 channels of FR using FD cams. As long as the cams are doing the processing of face capture, it can support up to 16 channels of FR. correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I got it (you can sometimes...

    NVR5216-16P-I dropping camera feed

    @BlueWave I just got this NVR from Andy two days ago. Didn't finish the initial tests and didn't even upgrade yet. It'll work as expected, it's not an overkill for a residential use: you can buy the popular 5442 series cams that support FD and get FR. So fat, I was trying the setup with two...

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    As @EMPIRETECANDY said, to use so advanced features of this cam (as facial recognition), you need to use AI (I series) NVR. Just got mine two days ago from Andy. ordered 4X5442T-ZE , 4X 5442E-ZE (the bullet) and 5216-16P-I BTW, it all left Andy's hands on Friday afternoon and I had my hands on...

    NVR5216-16P-I dropping camera feed

    just bought that NVR and I didn't yet get it. sounds like bad news... could the signal drops be related to events triggered by the camera? following and hoping for good news

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    This camera supports face detection (FD). The AI NVR enables you to get face recognition (FR). About the carious options, as emailing the captured image, I'll know better when I get hands on the NVR I was ordering but I assume it's possible.

    IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

    IF..... I understand correct, (IF), the higher the shutter speed, the lower the depth of field (the focus depth gets shorter). so for 1/250 the auto focus needs to react faster and the fast cars are also driving faster.... But for normal camera, 1/250 is still relatively slow so you should not...

    Sharing My Thoughts on My IPC-HFW2831T-ZS Cams After 6 Weeks With Them

    The company itself dedicates the EVO plus to fast writing but normal usage. The Pro Endurance cost in most places twice as much for a reason: it's meant to be used for IP cams and dash cams because it's meant to enable a constant write and lots of writing cycles. Don't forget that those memory...

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    I'm very sorry, for some reason I thought it was obvious: I have a yard surrounded by straight walls and fences 5ft tall. ordered X8 AI 5442 cams plus NVR 5216-16P-I that is expected to be able to use the FD and give me FR in exchange. MOST cams are supposed to see the yard and the walls...

    At last I understand why you expect a new F/W to fix the IR problem. Thank you.

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    took me a long time after panicking to read it carefully: The NVR I was choosing is supposed to support 4 channels of ordinary IP cams for FR OR support up to 16 channels of FR using FD cams. Now, if the FR is reliable or not? I never expected it to be bullet proof (though 4 of the cams ARE...

    thank you guys, Andy is aware of the need to use the FR for the cams. that's why he suggested the upgrade from 4216-16P-I to 5216-16P-I I was not aware of two different models. till yesterday, I was thinking it's operation modes: that you either use FR or chose the ANPR I chose to order from a...

    wow wow wow..... good to know. luckily I told Andy that I'm planing to use the cams for FR.... I hope he is aware of the difference (saying it since it's a new line after all) cause the cams left his place yesterday.

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    Thanks Wildcat, first, the official specs of the NVR are mentioning: "4 channel video stream face recognition / 16 channel picture stream face recognition ( with FD camera) " If I understand correct, I can get either 4 channels of face recognition using "normal" ip cams OR 16 channels of FR...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    thanks m00st. I am aware of those: facial recognition is good enough => good identification, minimal false positive. the false negatives are due to a lack of identification that could be a result of: saturation/low light/wrong angle/cover/shade and a lot more. cannot identify a know person...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    thanks very much random, I was counting on it and it's a big relief to hear that. I guess that there is not enough flexibility to have one of the cams not dedicated to human line crossing OR facial recognition but do them both (adding the facial recognition feature along the line only where...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    I've ordered 4 of those plus 4 of the bullets together with AI NVR (5216-1P-I) that supposed to extend the face detection to facial recognition. my goal is to control the surrounding walls and three gates and trigger alarm in case human crossed the border (line crossing for human only) or in...

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    a little confused in here: I've ordered 4 of those cams together with 4 of the new T-ZE. what I need is: to set tripwire for human only plus, 3 of the cams are supposed to zoom three gates and there I'd like to set face recognition (using the AI NVR 5216-16P-I). that NVR is supposed to add the...

    Review - OEM IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP AI Varifocal Bullet Camera With Starlight+

    Thank you THeDank if I wasn't aware of the problematic specs list of Dahua and HikVision, I'd never ask such a question. I also ASSUMED that the DORI distance would be the same in both cams. but the cameras ARE different and the optics IS different and it's not all about different packaging...
