    NVR with IR control?

    My Dahua hybrid from 2014 came with a remote. Ok for switching screens and basic stuff, the mouse is way better. Problem is it must share some programming with the Vizio tv I had in the room, using the tv remote would make the nvr switch screens, manual record, turn off recording etc. Ended...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    I wouldn't do a hikvision with 25mm mod lens or anything that couldn't be refocused remotely. Mine works at 80-100ft but it's a pain to focus, when it's clear for daytime, it's blurry at night. Mine is weird that I focus it for night time but it's blurry at the edges which is sharp in the...

    Night Vision - B&W to Color

    Mirror, great idea, thanks. Tried the aluminum foil and it worked great. When it gets warm i'll try to cut some mirror to make it look less ghetto and hopefully direct more lumens where i want them.

    My Hikvision nvr does this too.

    Night Vision - B&W to Color

    Looks good. Did you block off the back side of the light? I have a similar setup, tempted to through some aluminum foil or something in the light to stop the glare.

    back door thieves apprehended

    So is a really fast connection required for your services with no data caps? Wondering how you can pull in so many camera feeds and control ptz's. I get terrible lag when I try to remote into my system and move the ptz's around.

    Car spins out into my lawn

    Not very exciting. Noticed some tracks and torn up grass. Dude tried an hour to dig out, finally got a wrecker to tow him out. Hikvision Darkfighter Longse low light destroyer

    How do I keep color on?

    From the live view tab in the ptz menu under the direction arrows there are tabs for presets, patrol, IR etc. Go to the IR tab and change the mode to "off" instead of auto. IR shuts off and it'll go into color mode. Unfortunately it's not in configuration, image settings tab, that'd make too...

    LTS 2MP Dome & Turret install

    Kinda looks like an epoxy floor. Great install, wish I could do it that professionally looking. I always have a hard time running wire in walls.

    IP cams with internal ethernet jack (no flylead)

    My Hikvision Darkfighter dome has this feature, no pigtail. The jack is on the board inside the dome.

    guys in a work truck piss on my mail box and steal my trump sign LOL

    Not trolling, just curious what changed his mind about political signs. No need for name calling. Perhaps something happened from him having the sign.

    Hikvision DS-2CD4526FWD Darkfighter

    Haven't seen any sample footage online from the Hikvision DS-2CD4526FWD Darkfighter so here you go. Just hung it up so still messing with the settings. 1/60 exposure, 2 60w equivalent LED porch lights, IR cannon shooting into the street, onboard IR off. Picture next to dahua blackface for...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Yeah not the best idea to mix and match but basic functions usually work from my experience, including ptz, just not stuff like line cross. I've run hikvision ptz's on a dahua nvr without any problems. Anyways, the black face was a little too exposed to the elements so I didn't feel...

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Just got my mini black face from the link nayr provided. I mounted it under a 1 foot soffit, hopefully it survives. I'm running a hikvision 7608 nvr. Ptz controls are touchy, will continue to move until you stop it if you click a button quickly, hold the button longer then it stops when you let...

    A homeowner turns the tables on three armed men who broke into her home last Friday

    Re: A homeowner turns the tables on three armed men who broke into her home last Frid You would say they were seeking cover to return fire and kill you.

    Another License plate capture project

    Update: Revision 3 I really need something mounted under the soffit so I removed the 25mm lens and put it into a 2042 bullet paired with the popular aliexpress 3 led cannon. Actually works ok but more zoom would be better. I also notice that the lens camera combo has some reflection/glare...

    Inexpensive IR illuminator

    I have that same one, univivi with 6 leds. It's a really narrow beam but could illuminate about 4 parking spaces 50ft away. Here's my current favorite: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZWFKRLK/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1465185832&sr=1&keywords=ir+illuminator&tag=ipctk-20 Before and after pic

    Inexpensive IR illuminator

    Yeah they'll work for messing around. I have the same one. Works good indoors in my garage. Outside it's like shining a flashlight with a narrow beam, only covers a small part of the area. Mine broke after a few months. I also bought a crazy cart, similar size one but with a lot small led...

    opening a turret camera

    It's easy, i've done it a couple times. Just unscrew the two halves, I have some pictures posted on this site somewhere. I didn't need strap wrenches, just depends how tight it is and how strong you are.

    CMVision IR9 Illuminator

    Yes on the same soffit, same height aimed at a similar angle to the camera, just a little more to the left.

    CMVision IR9 Illuminator

    The top picture is without the external IR, the bottom is with external IR. The turret is fine until you see it next to a Darkfighter or a Longsi s500 with big sensor. Turret has too much noise, turn up noise reduction then you see ghosts. I have my illuminator pointed about horizontal, the...

    Neighbors wheels stolen 2

    One of those cars had wheel locks on them already. They still got them off somehow. Wheel well alarm is clever, hopefully it goes off before they get the wheel off. I'm using a CMVision IR9 flood. I really like it, I bought 2 more. If I had to do it again I'd mount it in front of the camera...
