    Review: IDahua DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437 - ALPR/ANPR - Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Intro I’m pleased to announce we have another Traffic / Access camera to look at, the DH-ITC-437-PW6M-IZ-GN / LPR-437. You’ll recall that I reviewed its 2MP brother last year HERE. The 2MP was no slouch at ALPR/ANPR work and I’m excited to see how this 4MP variant (using the tried and true...

    Daytime test is about finished just awaiting encoding. I'm taking a different tact with this one, review + tutorial in one. Stay tuned, will create new review post tomorrow

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I'll show off a crazy angle as part of the 437, in fact specifically mounted this way to show what it's capable of. With that said, if you want consistent plate caps that you can take to the bank then YES angle, height and distance to target along with dialing in for speed and light as well as...

    Review: Loryta SD59232XA-HNR 2MP 32x Starlight IR PTZ

    I'll cover this again in the next PTZ review I do so you can see how to dial in but I do mention how to set for continued and consistent optimal auto tracking in other reviews I did such as the 49225 etc

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Will be interesting in putting this side by side but for my money, the Dahua is the more attractive and sleeker model ;)

    The Importance & My Recommended Usage of I-Frame, CBR vs VBR, Shutter Speed In Your Configurations

    @cybernetics1d Yes I find H.264H to give the best quality overall in my experience and do advocate for this. I did a full blown write up on H.264 HERE if you're interested

    IPC-LPR437B-IR / IPC-LPR237B-IR @ Night

    Yes, you do have to dial in the traffic cams differently due to the way they process a plate. The plate matching algorithms are different on the DB loaded cams such as traffic cams vs the AI video metadata cams. Sensitivity does make an impact as you've seen BUT that does NOT change confidence...

    IPC-LPR437B-IR / IPC-LPR237B-IR @ Night

    The traffic cams benefit from vehicle in FOV BUT do NOT need a vehicle to process a plate (AI cams using Video Metadata do as I've stated before). I've shown this a number of times and just repeated a quick test with me introducing a plate by hand into a shot on the 437 and it recognizes the...

    The Importance & My Recommended Usage of I-Frame, CBR vs VBR, Shutter Speed In Your Configurations

    Thanks for the kind words, hope it helps people. With regards to NR during the day, you can drop lower for sure just be careful with special application scenarios (face recognition, ALPR and stereo analysis capture situations). The other thing to keep an eye on (in regards to. noise) is both...

    The Importance & My Recommended Usage of I-Frame, CBR vs VBR, Shutter Speed In Your Configurations

    All I've been asked about these 3 areas many times and even more so lately, so thought I would create a post (started small but you know me, I then decided I needed to add more information). Therefore with that said, I wanted to share my input, perspective and recommendations here on these...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Quick update from me. Re-captured the day footage today and now going through it. I'm purposefully pushing this camera to extreme limits to see how it holds up. Also capturing the menu and setup for you all as well. Will capture the night raw footage soon then look to pull this altogether in the...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Quick update on my testing. Hit a couple of bugs which while better I find them than you all having to see them in prod cams, unfortunately means I need to re-capture footage. Working on this again tomorrow and have also reported to Dahua

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I'll walk through the night time config as well. Brake lights can be accommodated for absolutely. What's the light in FOV like from street ?

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Started capturing some day footage earlier today as planned. Will work on some more this week, then start the edit. This cam definitely needs image adjusted out of the box so I show that as well in terms of recommended settings for you.

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I’ll look to grab more menu video too and pay particular attention to those features for you

    WebSocketServer.exe?

    Yes that’s what I’m pushing for with them, supposedly no need for plug-in, yet based on platform, requires plug-in that is not universal and while it appears limited to onscreen activities such as E-PTZ & AI Live events, needs further answers and development towards true plug-in free, browser...

    WebSocketServer.exe?

    This of course depends on your deployment. In truly secure deployments you DO identify the machine(s) / devices that are restricted for / to accessing live feed + historic / retained data with associated access controls for those individuals using them. This is expected and required in many...

    WebSocketServer.exe?

    Good to hear you have precautions in place (knew you would), always best to secure cam networks in this way, VLAN, isolated segments or combination of both. As you know, I'm a Mac guy first, Windows guy second, hence the Little Snitch recommendation for Mac, great for alerting of processes...

    WebSocketServer.exe?

    Yep I’m with you there. iF you have a browser and platform dependent on a process such as this and have concerns, block, delete and DO NOT ALLOW ;)

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I’ll be doing that as part of the review. I’ll also walk through settings to adjust and where they may be useful. Is there something specific you want to see @Billyjack5 or do you have a 437 and need some assistance ?

    WebSocketServer.exe?

    That depends on where the machine accessing the cam is of course. If it is also VLAN’d and firewall controlled (since it’s a known device being used to access your cams, so realistically should be) then your network security would still be solid. Also use of things like dual homed NICs would...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    WRT Websocketserver, IF this is present on your setup (browser + platform dependent) then you can also take some of the steps (some of which most here are already employing as I and others advocate for secure configs) I mention in the direct thread HERE. HTH

    WebSocketServer.exe?

    Not seeing it on my setups but I do keep a watch on what’s being installed along with file calls etc. Assuming you’re locking the cams down locally directly with firewall on your router or better yet segregating the cams with VLANs then locking, nothing to worry about even if you come across...

    I’ll be aiming to start capturing footage for the review this week and will aim to walk people through setup as well.
