    Is PTZ with tracking right for my very wide but narrow front yard?

    How would you approach putting in PIR in the area 100' away from where the camera is where there is no power there? I have blackface Dahua right now for PTZ that can see that area

    PoE (motorized) varifocal with great low light sensitivity recommendation?

    Yes, I am absolutely done with domes for exactly that reason. Crappy part is that I need now three of them on one pole and three turrets will look bit of Fort Knox

    PoE (motorized) varifocal with great low light sensitivity recommendation?

    I am looking to replace several 2MP domes I have had for a while with something better. Would like varifocal, so I can tune to what I want to focus on recording. Motorized would be nice. Definitely need PoE. If I can stick with under $100 per, that would be awesome

    Dome version of mini PTZ v2?

    I love the mini PTZ I got couple months ago, but there is an area I would love to have one that someone can't figure out (easily) where it is pointing. Dome versions that are as good value?

    Is PTZ with tracking right for my very wide but narrow front yard?

    Interesting. Yeah the current setup for the rest of the cameras does sometimes drive me nuts with alerts, when it is windy and sunny. Any recommendations for some trip wire and motion sensors I should look at?

    Is PTZ with tracking right for my very wide but narrow front yard?

    I have about long and narrow (158'X50') area of the yard facing increasingly busy street I'd like to cover with camera(s). I have couple Dahua PTZs now I really like that seem to work well for the area I use them for. I am trying to avoid having to run conduit and wire to multiple cameras...

    Got mini PTZ v2. Refuses to "take" DHCP setting, no other setting is kept after save

    Re: Got mini PTZ v2. Refuses to "take" DHCP setting, no other setting is kept after s Managed to make it work. But now my problem is that I can't find PTZ protocol that works. Neither in Blue Iris nor in IP Cam Viewer (Android). I tried ONVIF and it did not work

    Got mini PTZ v2. Refuses to "take" DHCP setting, no other setting is kept after save

    Really frustrated. Got this mini-PTZ v2 (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-Sell-2016-New-Arrival-Rotary-Bullet-PTZ-Camera-with-Onvif-1080P-MINI-PTZ-IP-Camera/32583148851.html). Not only can I not save any other setting, it sits stuck on 192.168.0.99 and won't accept DHCP setting. Worse yet, it...

    4th Gen i5-4590 be able to handle 6x 3MP cams at 15FPS record on motion only?

    I am looking at replacing my weak laptop with something not too expensive to handle 6 of the 8 3MP cams that I have running at 15FPS and it only records when BI detects certain level of motion. I don't have plans to run continuous recording on any of the cams, there is no reason for it. Would...

    8x 3MP cams at 10FPS each and i5 2557M can't handle even 5 cams

    I did some optimization of settings and new update helped with CPU utilization. That said, if I left say 3 cams with almost no activity on the laptop and got i5 desktop, that could be more cost effective solution. No? Started separate thread, since I changed the spec to 15FPS and clarified non...

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

    I would be getting one of those mini PTZs if I was looking for purely recording. Looking at theses Dahua PTZs, since I am thinking that they would serve as good deterrent when they are in big ass white dome enclosure. You never know where it is pointing, unlike the mini PTZs

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

    I hear ya. I am in the boonies, so interference etc. isn't a concern. Cameras that do matter are all wired. This PTZ is more to run patrol of the general open area and act as a fill-in for blind spots. There isn't really crime around here (knock on wood), PTZ is more for checking on random stuff...

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

    I run Ubiquity switched access points in my house (3X of them to cover 1 acre and house), same APs I use in my office filled with engineers. Other option would likely be using Ethernet over powerline adapter. Really would be nice to have domed PTZ, though I realize I will need to use IR...

    >$100 4MP+ PoE cam with best night image?

    Which Longse model you have in mind? 2232-I5 just washes out the faces no matter how much I tweak it. I am looking into doing IR illuminator for that area

    >$100 4MP+ PoE cam with best night image?

    I am getting tired of dealing with IR light ghosting from couple LTS cams I bought back before I learned about EXIR. So I am looking to replace the 2MP so so units with 4MP+ units with best IR+night image combo. Any suggestions for around $100 per cam shipped? I have HiK 2CD2232-I5 4MM version...

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

    Any idea where I can get the wireless version? I did search for SD29204S-GN-W and I didn't get much (maybe my google-fu is weak today). I don't care for PoE, since this is going into existing dome enclosure and power adapter is going to sit in the NEMA box.

    Too many options! Need help picking out three cameras from several options

    I am having hard time seeing difference between the two except for IR leds. I need better night visibility, so Huisun version with those three big ass IR LEDS in the bottom should be the proper choice?

    Too many options! Need help picking out three cameras from several options

    But if it does H265 and H264, I am futureproofing for when BI will support 265. Just change setting to 264 and we good? Which one is the better choice for non-dome PTZ? Imporx or Huisun mini PTZ?

    Too many options! Need help picking out three cameras from several options

    I need three different cameras for three different situations (all cameras will be used with BI, PTZ controlled from BI): Fixed - PoE, very good night sensitivity, strong EXIR, under $100. 4mm and 6mm options. H265 a must...

    1080p or above PTZ camera options on the budget?

    You mean the HiK one is not rated for outside? Or Huisun one? The encolsure is IP66 rated, hence why I was considering non IP66 PTZ (basically to save cost). It is very clear where Huisun unit is pointing. Would love to have something bit more of a "mystery" deterrent for the driveway. You...

    1080p or above PTZ camera options on the budget?

    How about HiK DS-2CD2F42FWD wireless version? I can probably live without zoom and it will sit in IP66 enclosure

    Shadows from large trees are driving me nuts setting off motion capture

    I think I will go two-profile route for night and day. Question: what is good Minimum Contrast setting, if there are lots of moving shadows during the day?

    Shadows from large trees are driving me nuts setting off motion capture

    I am using area, not hotspot. Excluding roadway, so I don't capture cars. Any advice re. daytime settings?

    Shadows from large trees are driving me nuts setting off motion capture

    I can't seem to be able to calm the motion capture during sunny days without making it unusable at night. This is 2MP 2.8MM cam. See the settings I am using. Would love to get some guidance on what I am going wrong

    1080p or above PTZ camera options on the budget?

    PTZ is more for me to fire up and check different areas that might not be covered. The rest of the cameras are all on motion triggers via Blue Iris.

    Having hard time finding 6MM H.265 3MP+ EXIR

    Any recommendations for 6MM H.265 3MP+ EXIR HiK camera? Maybe I can skip H.265, but at least would be nice to have 120DB WDR. Also, is there a list somewhere of trusted HiK vendors on AliExpress?

    Is there a good site with solid advice on placement of cameras?

    Oh that site is actually really helpful. All but one camera I have is 2.8MM. May need to to swap out some, since I am not getting clarity of images I want.

    1080p or above PTZ camera options on the budget?

    I am more interested in image quality and stability. You are correct, I don't need PoE, since power source is in the light pole
