    That's the plan. On the right side of the camera

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    It needs more light and lower gain. The darker edges have a hard time. I was off on the gain, gain set to 0 - 60. Exposure is 0 - 7

    Where to install cameras and what focal length

    I don't understand why you keep mentioning the Z4E, I'm talking about the B54IR-ZE (no 4) which is the bullet version of the T54IR-ZE turret you mentioned with the exact same variable focal lengths. I'm saying that the bullet versions typically have 4 IR LEDS versus the 2 IR lights on the...

    Attached is a screenshot of one of my 2mp cams at night. Exposure is 0 - 7, gain is 55. I think it could use another D20 or even a D10 on the right of the camera

    Where to install cameras and what focal length

    He said he purchased a Z4E which is too zoomed in for him. A B54IR-ZE is a 2.7mm - 12mm variant which would allow a wider FOV I only mentioned the B54IR-ZE as it has 4 IR LEDS vs the 2 on the T54IR-ZE, which should give a bit more light in low light areas

    Where to install cameras and what focal length

    Or a B54IR-ZE, depending on the ambient light. The bullet version has twice the IR LEDs of the turret version.

    Yeah, I didn't see anything that would make me want to take the leap. $175 for a used camera is no bueno for me. For $44 more I purchased a new one with a warranty

    Yeah, so I'm slow :rofl: That's the other thing I like about separate cameras, the flexibility of different camera angles.

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    It looks great during the day. I have a few 2mp cameras in the back yard with the same lighting situation as the location as I was mentioning and even with the Tendelux D20 supplemental lighting, it could use more light at night. I have a ZE in use that is mounted on the fence on a square pole...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    You know, I was going to pull the trigger on this 2mp triple camera, but was afraid 25mm wouldn't be enough to get me the FOV I'm looking for as it is right about 50 - 55 feet from the mounting location. I think the location would do better with a Z4E and a ZE. I really don't need 3 different...

    "I want 2.8mm cameras everywhere to see everything..." - This is why you need specific FOVs with purposeful focal lengths.

    Was trying to get an idea of average amount of cameras needed for a well-covered property. Obviously, every property will be different. I have many ideas for camera locations, but they may not always be a good choice. I realize it can take experimentation, but for those experienced, there must...

    "I want 2.8mm cameras everywhere to see everything..." - This is why you need specific FOVs with purposeful focal lengths.

    Roughly how many cameras are employed here?

    Guide to good camera installation practices?

    I'm sure there has to be a thread on here somewhere, but I can't locate it. Is there a thread on here that guides one through the installation of cameras - locations, angles, etc. that are preferred, locations to avoid and other things from experience to watch out for?

    I guess some locations can be difficult to get the right setup. I'm learning there's much more to successful camera images than just settings. The location and installation also play a big part in the image, and each is just as important.

    Also, are you sure smart IR isn't enabled?

    I am certainly no expert with nighttime settings, but you may want to try a slower shutter speed. I would see what 0 - 5 or even 0 - 6 looks like for night combined with a slightly higher exposure comp setting (like 55 - 60). If that doesn't work, my guess is you may need additional IR light.

    I couldn't be that lucky. I'm looking for metal poles for cameras, I thought you knew of a place to source them as they would be perfect

    I need the compatible firmware for DHI-VTH1510H

    Starting with a demand (I need) never usually gets you very far. A better way would be to ask: Does anyone know where I can get firmware for a DHI-VTH1510H?

    I say it again, this would keep me busy for weeks, possibly even hours! Didn't realize all this was available to the general user.

    So, cameras with built in AI can pass the VMD attributes onto the NVR? Is that page with the snapshots and video clip part of the NVR software or part of Smart PSS lite? And where do the snapshots get stored, on the NVR hard drive?
