    Hikvison colorvu camera

    I actually do have some light in that location, I believe my current cameras just have bad night vision. There is a street light in the front left, I have my front step lights on all night, and the neighbors garage lights add some too. I guess the only way to really know is to just break down...

    What display do you use ?

    I guess we must be the odd people that have it on for monitoring while we are awake. We can just look to see what's going instead of running around the house looking through windows. We have a few alarms set up (driveway stairs into the house, ..) so if one is triggered we can easily look...

    Hikvison colorvu camera

    You all are correct ! I am that noobe that is being fooled by the hype. I need to learn about where to even see the sensor numbers. Focal length seems to be listed. But here is what I have now... my 2mp 3.6f analog cameras. You can see daytime isn't bad, but night certainly is not good.

    What display do you use ?

    There are times when deer are by my driveway and there almost invisible. I obviously need better cameras, but that wasn't my question. I was wondering about burn in from constant live monitoring. And what people are using. I'm working on the cameras, obviously from my other thread. I need...

    It doesn't degrade the picture ? Especially at night ? I'm still trying to learn about this.

    Hikvison colorvu camera

    My wife saw some youtube videos about the colorvu cameras by hikvision. She is pretty insistent that is what we should get. Are these the goto cameras ? My current system is not bad for 1080p during the day, but pretty grainy at night. I was thinking the 5mp with 2.8 lens. But that makes me...

    What display do you use ?

    I am still looking to upgrade my 1080p system to 5 or 8 mp.. a hikvision colorvu of some type. However this got me to thinking, I'm going to need a 4k display of some type. I currently use a 32 inch tv. Which I could by a 32 inch samsung 4k tv to swap it out. But then I started thinking about...

    2 mp vs 5mp display and ir question

    However, looking at the bnc to poe converters. Tell me if I'm wrong here, it looks like you add a converter on each end of the bnc cable and use a short ethernet cable to attach to the camera and dvr. So this eliminates the wall adapters that currently supply power to the cameras I have now. Or...

    2 mp vs 5mp display and ir question

    I'm afraid my current consumer level cameras / system has no way to adjust anything ... other than brightness, contrast, 2d and 3d noise. And color intensity. (Another reason to upgrade)
