    Ordered Sony SNC-VB770 Image Sensor Size 35MM :)

    @tech101, which cooldome do you have 24 or 12vdc? What power supply are you using? Have you measured how much power it actually draws on a hot day? I assume when it's cool enough in late fall, winter, and early spring that it doesn't consume any power? Is there a thermostat you can set?

    So not sure, but it appears the s-type tornado does not exchange any air with the outside. It just circulates air inside the enclosure to ensure the heat is evenly distributed which will help but given how much heat the sony gives off, the inside of the enclosure might exceed 122F when it's 110...

    Dotworkz has the highest prices if you buy from them. ST-TR-POE+P-SS is $733 direct and less than $500 everywhere else.

    Looking at the dotworkz Tornado Dual POE. I don't really need active cooling since it will be in the shade and the ambient temperature outside will never come close to exceeding the rated operating ambient temp. The max operating temp is 122F. My 635s are 140F and are in enclosures with no...

    The dotworkz store appears to no longer exist. Just errors out. Doesn't appear that the company survived the pandemic. Edit: Up intermittently. I called them and they said they're having issues with their retail site at the moment and not to read anything into it.

    Using the stock 24-70 mm lens that came with it. In my testing last night it is more than sufficient to cover the cul-de-sac and capture license plates out to about 200 feet. My trackers can get the plates all the way to the top of the cul-de-sac about 400 feet away but that really isn't...

    10 fps is what I'm using on all my cameras so I'm used it. 5 fps would be too slow. Tried CBR which made no difference in allowed fps. It increased bitrate without any improvement in picture which is why I tend to use VBR. So far, the main difference is your firmware. I'm very hesitant to...

    Did just run into one problem. I unplugged the camera for a few hours and then plugged it back in. No changes at all from me but the framerates of both streams in the settings changed to 5. I was able to change back to 10 and all is working, but it appears a power loss will cause the settings to...

    I had no issues with setup in BI. I basically just copied exactly what I have for the VB635s and it all worked fine the first time including the substream. Total CPU with all cameras is hovering around 4.5% for BI on this computer which which is running on on i7-8700 that I bought back in 2017.

    So far it's allowing me to do 4 streams at 10 fps for each. The 5th appears to be disabled for whatever reason.

    So far no issues with second stream with first at 10 fps. @tech101 What version of firmware are you on again?

    Trying to get into it first without a factory reset to see if I can find the hour counter. The default login and password don't work so that was at least changed from factory. Scratch that. admin/admin Apparently v1.3 has a different default password and I was trying that instead of the...

    Tracking shows Saturday. I've lusted after this camera for YEARS. Really hope the dual stream thing can be sorted out. Doing DS or motion on an 8 mp image would make my CPU jump from the current 4% to 30%.

    I think the next thing is to try the latest firmware version. Other than that, since it doesn't match the owners manual, I'd start thinking it's a hardware defect.

    @tech101 check your output mode The manual mentions something about fps limits if you're also outputting to hdmi....even if you don't have an hdmi cable plugged in.

    Definitely not right. Surprised it can't at least get to parity with the 770 screenshot. Are you on the latest firmware?

    The 770 manual literally shows a screenshot with the 4k Image 1 codec at 10 fps with Image 2 also enabled. Try not enabling image 3 but just 1 and 2 and lower the bitrate of the 4k image 1 down to 16kbs just for kicks. i.e. can you get to the same screen shot shown in the owners manual?

    Wow! That may be a deal breaker for me and this is not something that is disclosed in the user guide. I wonder if this could have contributed to low sales and it ultimately being discontinued. Are you on the latest firmware? What if you lower the bitrate? Does that add higher framerates in the...

    The 635 supports 3 streams. I have two enabled. The 770 is supposed to allow 5 streams:

    Geez, you got me beat (currently 18)....although some are in the attic on the off chance I ever get a rodent intrusion again. 4 of them are auto tracking(2 hikvision, 1 dahua, and 1 sunba) which gives quite a bit more coverage than non tracking. I'm not sure running it at night will extend the...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the IR illuminators won't work fore the 770 since it's IR cut filter doesn't retract, right?

    There's ONE open box 635 for sale on ebay for $975. Being before the 770 doesn't really mean anything in context as it's not comparable to the 770. The 635 was a $600 camera that eventually became deeply discounted (hence the reason I got mine for $300) and now costs way more than the original...

    That's cool. I doubt the seller knows to reset it unless a factory reset does it. Hopefully a factory reset leaves it alone.
