    Show me your Smart IR being Smart

    I’m kind of on the fence as it relates to the how the IR output is done on this example. Maybe I’m just spoiled in having a slower transition vs an immediate drop in IR output. Great examples thanks for sharing. :thumb:

    Show me your Smart IR being Smart

    In the video you offered the transition from colour to night was instant. Also near the end of the video everybody’s face was well lit and no wash out. Given it’s analog the video is also instant without any lag. It’s the only reason I still use and have legacy video hardware in place as a...

    Ethernet Burial—Detached Garage Install

    To be clear armoured fibre optic cable must be bonded and grounded. Dielectric fibre cable negates the need to do so. Poor DIYer simply use indoor rated fibre cable in conduit to negate grounding all together. But come up short in about 2-4 years because the indoor rated cable begins to break...

    Smart Electrical Panels, Yes?

    Personally I’m not a fan of the so called Smart TSTAT / Locks. I don’t use either because the vast majority back in the day were solely cloud based. Anyone serious about security doesn’t use or have infrastructure tied to the cloud! As it relates to Energy Monitoring the only hardware I use...

    That was a great summary of the different elements that affect each hardware maker. I’ll add a few more as it relates to Hikvision firmware vs Dahua. It goes without saying the likes of Andy and the many IPC contributors have been instrumental in fixing bugs and adding features at various...

    Smart Electrical Panels, Yes?

    This area is very dependent upon a person’s lifestyle and long term needs. As it is with almost everything in the world. One only needs to consider how many people in your area have a video security system in place. The only thing that has increased this market share is the ease and...

    I agree both Dahua & Hikvision seem to be releasing a lot of shit hardware that cover every possible dollar scale. :facepalm: I mean it’s only 2024 and Dahua still can’t offer video hardware that incorporates a low drift RTC clock! Never mind their shit handling of Micro SD cards?!? Than...

    That was a great read thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the Nest fiasco that locked everyone out in the dead of winter! Some incompetent ass hole thought it would be a great time to push a firmware update without testing?!?! :facepalm:

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    The request was to use a different NTP Server address. Change the time to something else than reboot the camera.

    FYI: FBI disrupts Chinese cyber operation

    Like many other so called news articles it provides zero insight as to the make, model, firmware this malware affected?!? :facepalm: I mean it’s not like the general public wouldn’t want to know something they have in place is / has been compromised! :banghead: They give no insight as to how...

    Most HikVision sensors 1/3 for 4MP but the reccomendation for 4MP seems to be 1/1.8 or larger?

    Hikvision offers many different lines (Series) to fill various budgets. The Dark Fighter, ColorVu, IDS Line offer both 1/1.8” ~ 1/1.2” image sensors and others in between. Buy what you can afford today that offers the best video quality at night. As it relates to ColorVu Hikvision is on the...

    Opinions on the following network

    Looks to be a solid network with common sense connectivity via fibre. All of the cameras should have a Micro SD Card in place not only for back up, fail over, and resiliencey. But, will be able to utilize the ANR feature on the camera / NVR system. Don’t see a properly rated UPS anywhere for...

    Whelps, I can freely admit you have the patience of a saint. You’ve spent more time like so many others trying to help and offer critical insight as to how to resolve, fix, or do better. Yet so many of these same threads end up being a complete time waster just like this one. In 2024 I’ve...

    Ethernet Burial—Detached Garage Install

    You should start by calling into your local utility for call before you dig to identify all electrical & gas. Next get the code book that relates to your specific location. Doing so will inform you as to the type of material, depth, and installation requirements. Running any wire in conduit...
