    IPVM Free All Access Today and Tomorrow - Tests I think IPCamTalk Members Would Be Interested In

    Thanks! That's a tricky one. If we use the international one, Dahua USA can argue we bought a grey, unauthorized product that does not reflect their quality. This is the same issue we have with Hikvision though Hikvision tends to use the same model numbers across the world whereas Dahua makes...

    Notification From Dahua

    On Feb 12th, @EMPIRETECANDY, in this thread, said "we have some models lacking of stock now till the end of this month, maybe March", so has that slide back now? That would not be surprising given everything going on, just trying to be clear.

    Thermal Camera? Yes, You Read That Right

    Arjun, do you want to measure temperatures with the thermal camera? Assuming so (that's typically what people are using thermal for regarding the pandemic), the issue is accuracy. Normal security thermal IP cameras are not tuned to deliver precise temperature readings. And there is a lot of...

    Dahua CEO resigns

    Could be, I heard that theory from someone else this morning. However, I had never heard any US government or industry people criticize Li Ke or his Huawei background. Not necessarily because they liked Li Ke but because he was relatively invisible. Dahua's issues are far more their size in the...

    US models lagging behind other markets?

    Yes, Hikvision USA models have long lagged behind International versions, historically explained by further QA or development for USA firmware. I would expect with the ban and sanctions, this would create more delays and further limit how many models are sold officially in the US. As @fenderman...

    Dahua CEO resigns

    @aristobrat To clarify, the guy leaving is from Huawei. He (ex-Hauwei) was new in 2017 when we wrote that post. The ex-Huawei guy just resigned as Dahua CEO. Now, Dahua's founder, Fu, is back in

    Dahua Prisoner Behavior Detection Server IVS-IP8000-A

    We've dealt with many high security operations over the years and they virtually all hate false alerts because it is a distraction and gets them in the habit of distrusting the alerts generally. We are certainly open to testing it but, given Dahua's US government ban and sanctions, unlikely...

    Dahua Prisoner Behavior Detection Server IVS-IP8000-A

    Interesting. They are setting expectations rather low, e.g., just 80% accuracy and up to 10 false alerts per day for fighting: Recall rate ≥80% (Correct alarms/real events) False alarm frequency ≤10 false alarms/24 hours (Target size: The fighting target takes up 1/4 × 1/4 of the whole image).

    China Shipments

    @weigle2 good point, @EMPIRETECANDY can you provide any feedback on this?

    China Shipments

    My general understanding is that there is a lot of stock in the US, since many manufacturers and dealers stocked up months ago with the tariff raising fears. Of course, whether specific models or sellers have stock is another thing.

    Which camera is best in complete darkness using IR only ??

    We (IPVM) did a shootout recently on just this with 25 cameras. What we found was that some of the more expensive cameras did much better in delivering strong subject details, I've excerpted a section and a sample image: Details on moving objects: The strongest weighted performance difference...

    onvif.org allegedly threatens Doorbird with action based on an ipcamtalk.com user post

    Yes, I understand that. That was my point. ONVIF cannot enforce its trademark on a random user on a forum. ONVIF can enforce its trademark on Doorbird's own marketing. Why anyone reached out to IP Cam Talk is strange but ONVIF going after Doorbird for using ONVIF on Doorbird's own marketing is...

    onvif.org allegedly threatens Doorbird with action based on an ipcamtalk.com user post

    There's a difference between what Doorbird says in their sales and marketing vs what a reporter for a newspaper or a poster on a forum says. In the case of Doorbird, they are using the ONVIF trademark promotionally, so it can be restricted. In our over 10 years of covering ONVIF, ONVIF has been...

    onvif.org allegedly threatens Doorbird with action based on an ipcamtalk.com user post

    Have you verified that with ONVIF? Maybe that is true, maybe the poster (Doorbird) is mistaken. For sure, the poster is mistaken about 'pressed with charges' as I agree with you that appears to be a translation issue. I am happy to help get clarification on this from ONVIF or you can contact...

    onvif.org allegedly threatens Doorbird with action based on an ipcamtalk.com user post

    I asked ONVIF for a comment and will follow up if/when they respond (They just finished Intersec so I expect a delay). Also, I checked ONVIF's website and Doorbird is an ONVIF member but has no products listed as conformant. Despite this, Doorbird lists an 'Onvif'-setting in many of their...

    LUX Not finding any info on LUX ,

    So 0.000 or 0 means / implies the rating is based on the IR illuminator on. Otherwise, it should be a number greater than 0 as the camera will need some amount of light. Also, and I don't think this is a concern for you, but for others reading this, if you ever actually measure the lux level in...

    LUX Not finding any info on LUX ,

    Be careful about how you use lux ratings in making product decisions. Our testing shows that comparing lux ratings of cameras across different manufacturers cannot be trusted, since each manufacturer uses its own approach, scale, technique to setting a lux / minimum illumination level. So you...

    No, Twelve Security's post was already public when IPVM found out about it. And I contacted Wyze before I released IPVM's post.
