    Dahua pinhole camera

    I’m using a few my 5231R-Z’s with rather minimal lighting and IR disabled with excellent results.

    Copy that. This camera’s primary role is ID at the door on the very far right of the image. It does very well at this. It’s around 65” off the ground and you face it when at the door. I’ve grabbed several photos when people come to the door and I think it will be good for ID on this door...

    my BI system build

    I got the five indoor cameras up and running. The network cable temporarily tie-wrapped to conduit to make sure camera placement is good. One outdoor is permanently mounted and working great. My outdoor lighting is bright enough to keep the Dahua Starlights in full color mode at night. It covers...

    my BI system build

    Got the 6U rack I bought on Amazon mounted along with the UPS, POE switch and Optiplex. Lots of conduit to run. I do have one outdoor camera permanently mounted and the rest temporarily setup to give the Optiplex running BI some burn in time. I added another of the Hikvision domes. 10 cameras...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD-I aspect ratio is off in BI

    I figured out the aspect ratio thing. The more square cameras are 3MP, the wider aspect ratio are 4MP. Rookie error on that. I still can’t get the Hikvision zoom working on either varifocal. Settings of one offending camera:

    Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD-I aspect ratio is off in BI

    I verified the resolution coming out of the camera and the resolution in BI’s camera settings is 2048 × 1536. This is happening on (2) of these cameras and a similar 3mp Hikvision varifocal turret. Also, separately the zoom control isn’t working on either of my Hikvision varifocal cameras...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD-I aspect ratio is off in BI

    In BI’s desktop app they have the same thing going on. The upper image is the problem camera, the lower is a camera with correct aspect ration displayed. They are currently mounted to an overhead beam for testing, so both are looking at the same area.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2335FWD-I aspect ratio is off in BI

    I can’t sort out why my DS-2CD2335FWD-I and DS-2CD2H35FWD-IZS both show up like this in BI: In the camera’s web page it shows more like this aspect ratio: I’ve experimented quite a bit with the camera settings in BI and I’m not getting the full width of aspect to display. Any pointers?

    my BI system build

    The Optiplex 7050 MT only holds one 3.5” hard drive. I have two 4TB Purple drives from the Hikvision NVR I returned. I’m not keen on modifying the 7050’s case at this point. It does have two more internal SATA channels and power.. I got the iOS app working today along with geofencing to switch...

    my BI system build

    The POE switch arrived. I bought in on Amazon Warehouse deals for about $50 less. I moved all cameras to the new switch with the NVR plugged in as well. When I ran the trial version of BI on my laptop I quickly saw how nice it will be for when I'm wanting to get a clip of something caught on...

    my BI system build

    @actran I have the BI demo version running on my 5 year old Dell Precision i7 laptop with 32GB RAM. Three cameras at too high of frame rate and the CPU was crying. Needless to say I’m sold on BI, and I’m not gonna worry too much about setting it up until the new machine arrives. I will...

    my BI system build

    I currently have a Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2/16P with six Hikvision cameras and three Dahua Starlight turrets. As I've gotten to know the NVR and I've read on here, I decided to switch to BI. I looked for a good deal (<$500) i7-7700 machine and didn't see anything that was what I wanted. So, I...

    Dahua Starlights w/storage on Hikvision NVR

    There was some conversation in another thread about using the Dahua Starlights with a microSD in a Hikvision system. I have one of these currently, sorting out how it can be made to work well in concert with my Hikvision NVR. Curious what others have learned?

    3 MP WDR Vari-focal DS-2CD2H35FWD-IZS

    I have one Dahua 5231R-Z and two more on the way. I dig the audio for use on my entry doors. I put a microsd card in it yesterday and I’m sorting out the ivs stuff on the camera. Using the nvr to continuous record. I got one of these Hikvision DS-2CD2H35FWD-IZS cameras in last week, too.
