    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    I may be buying one for my old ‘hood. Do you have any nighttime video samples you could post? I need it to reach out to 600 ft and with all the street lights I should be able to run color at night… This old 1/2.8 sensor just ain’t getting it and Witt movement it’s a mess.

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    Some things come to mind watching these 1- obviously used cheap Chinese marketing firms or done in-house. Bad 2- they seem to be made for consumer marketing. Do they sell or brand directly to the Chinese consumer? If not who is the intended audience? 3- all about color night vision. But the...

    Customized Day/Night settings not saving

    That’s what I do. This allows me to set two completely different profiles (exposure etc) for day and night. I have a few locations where I still leave Day/Night tab on Auto (still using the schedule profile however) to allow it to switch if I have a real dark area like my back porch where I...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    It takes me hours multiple days to dial in a camera in a scene at night. The 4Ks take twice that long and months later I usually start all over :rofl:

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Don't update it. 2024 is heavily oversharpened and noisier

    Well all I know is that the Big Boys (Goldman, Citi, Chase, etc) all predicted $3500 by end of year. It's looking like it may get there this week. $3415 and climbing

    Anyone else having trouble reading or posting on IPCT April 21, 2025?

    Acts like a DOS but could just be a server running out of memory and needing a reboot

    Customized Day/Night settings not saving

    I dont use Day/Night for that and other reasons. By switching back to Day/Night you're defeating the Schedule profile and allowing the camera to decide when to switch based on its light sensor. I set my schedule times and leave it in Schedule profile as intended

    Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!

    FYI- 95% of that commercial was NOT using the camera being promoted but professional video equipment instead.... The very short piece of video of the actual camera (5 seconds at :20-:25) was a noisy, blurry mess except for the last 2 seconds of him standing still, which I'm still not convinced...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    1/30 is going to give you a blurry blob on any but the slowest of motion at night....the white LEDs wil help to an extent, in the center of the image You need to start testing by walking back and forth at a normal pace in the scene and capture the video and freeze frames. Without video its...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    What is your FW version on the 4K-X? I use these settings at night on the bullet I showed you between the houses targeting the street. (2021 FW- better IMHO) I can't run these same settings on the other bullet. (2024 FW- much worse. Looking at reverting back to 2021 FW - but it wont let me...

    7.62 and .308 work in many guns. Generally you can shoot 7.62 in most .308 rilfles The other way gets trickier. I forget but one has a slightly longer case?

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Not really problem for this scene. I use it simply to get vehicle/clothing colors on the street and to cover the passageway between the homes, that my neighbor is quickly making into a storage area :mad: About 50ft to the street

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    While I generally agree with @wittaj and @biggen , I find that past 10-12 ft my soft focus becomes very hard to discern on both my X and T You saw the T, here’s the X. 10 ft to the front of the golf cart.

    NVR/POE Recommendations(?) - How many / Where / What models? Mid-tier budget

    Not really. Just a top down pencil outline with distances between corners, doors, major obstructions. Or better photos at ground level looking out from proposed camera locations. It would take an hour or two on site to know precisely. We can only get you in the ballpark
