    For this location: Color4k-T180 or Color4k-T or?

    If you can't identify, it kind of makes the whole excersise pointless as all you can say is someone stole my truck last night without ever being able to prove who, which kind of leaves you in the same position as not having a camera. If you're only allowed 1 camera on the outside of the...

    Bit Rate Issues

    So 2 issues here potentially with BI then: 1. It should be KB not kB 2. It would make sense to use the same bit rate measurement as the cameras. Thanks for you help. I'll speak to Ken. :wave: One other issue I don't undertsand though is why resolution is locked to 1080P in BI. Could this be...

    Bit Rate Issues

    Hi, I'm having some Bit Rate Issues. I'm on an older BI build atm until I can get some PC backup software as everytime I update and AI gets upset, I end up having to do a total clean Windows Installation to fix it! So the issue I'm having is what I've always seen - my 4k camera's mainstream...

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    The pedestrian issue can be solved by the use of trip wires instead of motion detection. That's a simple fix.

    A new MINI PTZ with autotracking 5X zoom.

    In fairness most cctv cameras are fixed length, it's only ther ptzs and zooms that aren't. I agree on the AI. Maybe that's what we're starting to see with the S3. I've had a look at some of the recent phones night video, they don't appear bad. Not as good as Dahua / Hik though, although it has...

    focus problem?

    What Mike and Wittaj said. If there's more detail, to fit it into the same data limit, the camera has to compress it harder which is why the quality drops off. More compression = more artefacts and mistakes. You're picture has horrendous levels of detail with all the small stones, dead blades of...

    A new MINI PTZ with autotracking 5X zoom.

    I know this is an older message in this thread, but in reply I kind of agree but don't. When you look at action cameras, many are made to a resonable budget but have larger sensors these days. eg Insta 360, DJ Osmo Pocket 3. (Both of these are mid range expensive but that's largely explained by...

    focus problem?

    Yeah you will never get total back to front sharpness this side of variable aperture which doesn't exist. As for the Arlo. Even though the colour balance looks better in the picture above, which is explained by the use of Auto and including too much sky in the Dahua picture, when you look at...

    Money & Economics

    That's not Socialist but the Capitalist aim. Some have reported it as the Total concentration of the money in the top 1% with them holding all the assets, with everyone else as surfs. A return to the old days of the king in his castle and the peasant scum with nothing outside doing his bidding...

    Firmware Upgrades Without Fear, Is this Possible?

    No issues here. Just follow the instructions to the letter and don't turn the power off.

    focus problem?

    For a start, set lighting to Outdoor for Daylight not auto. Auto will produce erratic results. None of the exposure settings want to be on auto. You have to dial professional cameras in for the best pitcure because there's much more adjustability. There's also much more bright sky in the Dahua...

    MFW5241T2-E3-ASE: new triple sight very long range perimeter protection camera

    1/2.8" alarm bells for night vision. In their demo video it doesn't look paricularly great in the day and at night washes out the faces on the shorter ranges with the high powered IR required for the long range lens. Great idea for a camera. Not sure the implementation is there yet. Maybe a...

    focus problem?

    I have 2 of these (3 if you count the replacement). At 25 feet you aren't going to recognise anyone. Interestingly though, this improves a bit for me with backlight control, although I now keep it off to keep the important foreground area brighter. I wonder if Dahua are doing something with the...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Again I don't believe it until I see a worldwide market share anaylsis from Dahua. This market analysis report compares the market shares of the biggest brands and projects shares going forwards. This slide is for the Asia Pacific market which is probably the biggest on the planet and shows...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    I'd like to see proof of that. I'm pretty sure 99% of householders buy Ring, Arla etc simply because they want plug and play. Very few consumers can be bothered with time consuming and technically difficult pages of settings in NVR's and cameras. In my own area, there's only 1 other house with...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    I've made no secret of the fact it cost £5k fdor the body in all my posts above. However, unfair? No. 8 years have lapsed since and whilst that size sensor and lens may remain expensive due to the very low numbers being produced, when you look at the DSLR and phone market, some much smaller...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    Nah Dahua is creating for the Commercial Market and generally most commercial users aren't swayed by gimmicks. TIOC has it's place on a single entry point camera in a system that has other cameras recording images either if the deterrence fails, or before it's activated but as a single camera...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    I personally wouldn't touch a TIOC camera. I've had one. Whilst they're great for deterrence purposes, once the flashing lights start, the picture quality is degraded. They also tend to use smaller less capable sensors. As a single point camera as a part of an integrated system of non tioc...
