    IR Cut Filters - please help a quasi newbie

    ah that is what ICR is? Got it, did not know the lingo. When I looked at some other brands (Hik, FLIR, etc) they all write out IR Cut Filter. I didnt know ICR = IR Cut filter...If that is true, you answered my question.

    IR Cut Filters - please help a quasi newbie

    so that is what I thought - so something like this would produce a purple color image during the day? DH-IPC-HDBW44A1EN-AS I noticed 1 model in the Ultra series had a cut filter but most do not. If you get a purpleish image, why so popular? I know that sounds fairly basic but I feel like I am...

    IR Cut Filters - please help a quasi newbie

    Are they necessary? vague question, I know :-) I am looking at some new exterior cameras. I notice some of the Dahua models have IR's but no IR Cut filter. Is that an issue with daytime images? Dahua get a lot of cred on this forum so I am assuming they compensate somehow? Can anyone...

    Helping picking out a PoE camera

    with the Dahua pinhole you linked to - how long is that cable that goes from camera > the box? Can it be extended if not long enough? I figure I can run the cable to my basement and in my drop ceiling leave that box then continue with an ethernet cable to my PoE switch which is also in the...

    Helping picking out a PoE camera

    not recommend due to price or quality or a combo of? I'd rather pay a premium for something small and out of sight if I lose a little on quality. And I am open to other brands/models in this design. before you mentioned pinhole cameras not handling low light well, this seems to be able to do...

    Helping picking out a PoE camera

    thanks that is what I thought, had to do with the FOV....just double checking. The form factor is small? says outdoor camera, any reason i wouldnt look for a camera made for indoor - maybe smaller since less of a housing is needed to protect from the elements? firmware on these cameras in US...

    All, Need your help. Looking for a fairly inexpensive PoE camera for indoor use. As you can see in the attached photo at the far right on the counter top is a foscam camera. It is eating up counter space plus an outlet. My electrician is coming over to do a few projects for me so i think...

    non critical battery operated camera for Blue Iris?

    Thanks - that was my fear. The install point would be right next to a cabinet and when we remodel no cabinets will be there so leaving extra slack to move it a bit is not going to help in this situation but I appreciate the idea. I guess maybe next time my electrician comes over to do some...

    When we leave for extended periods of time we leave our dog in a crate in the kitchen. I currently have a foscam sitting on a counter pointed at the crate. Its an eye sore, takes up room, etc on the counter. I'd love to mount something up in the corner like an Arlo but I am 99.9% sure those...

    need help with camera settings KNC-HDi47 camera

    Easier said than done - it is part of a intercom/door station unit: http://eholovision.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=249&Itemid=290 I could look to take it off but then re-attaching something new may be past my expertise. Which is why I was hoping I could fiddle with the...

    Remote Access failing but...

    Agree that the change in IP address was the culprit. I guess for now I'll just let it be. Could be due to the UPnP too.

    Because I want to make sure its not a fluke and set up properly so I do not have this issue again (anytime soon at least). Figured maybe I was missing a step or not understanding something.

    Its a rental cable company modem - no idea what firmware it has, when its been updated last, etc. The BI Port is open on canyouseeme - again the app works, I can log in via a browser, etc. Just doing the set up that remote access test screen is failing. Seems odd, no?

    Question FPS

    thanks trying to get this ordered today so I can do it this weekend. For the hardware, just screws, or a plate too? I figured the SATA cable would likely be needed. I am hoping the power supply has a built in extra cable as I do not want to change out the power supply?
