    Camera model selection advice

    You will be asking too much of some of these cameras. You need to decide if you want Detection (surveillance) or Identification; they are opposite ends of the spectrum. It is recommended to test positions and fields of view with a varifocal camera before committing to a focal length or position...

    Amouranth Breaks Down Full Video of Attempted Crypto Robbery - Colion Noir

    For someone with a panic room (if it's actually legit and not just a closet) you would think they would rely on more than just cloud based cameras. Yes, they had on masks, but all the more reason to have a good system and access to the means necessary to protect yourself.

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    I had this happen in front of me on the interstate, yesterday. It could have been bad. I am not sure what type of license plate frame they had, but between that and their speed, it is near impossible to get anything from their license plate. Best I could do to get this was to take a snapshot...

    Swivel mount

    Along that same thought, most also don't know the structure/assembly of the turret housing and it's adjustability. That's why I went that route.

    Swivel mount

    There is swivel built into the housing, if that's what you're after. It swivels at the seam, above the Alhua logo.

    If your mouse has USB, HDMI, and 12v connections, there may be a camera in it.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 Water intrusion

    Yep, no issues with any of them and they see ALL the weather. I am more concerned with the junction box than I am with the cameras.

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    But who would need to put it in there? Logitech? And wouldn't the additional, external power and data cables be obvious?

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    You are far more likely to have something installed on your PC that records your screen than you are to have a camera in your mouse recording your screen.

    Did anyone say the T58IR couldn't read license plates at 40ft? This is a license plate at 40ft with a 4MP T54IR-ZE set to 12mm.

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

    Correct, this is currently the only camera on the backside of the fence. I do plan to put another one of these on the other side of the gate to cross this FOV, so it may gain benefits from that IR cannon when I do that. I'll mess with it a bit more, and actually get out there when the weather...

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

    It's physical. All 3 lenses are physically connected. When using the built in mechanical adjustment, you are tilting the entire block of cameras/lenses. In addition to this, since only one lens contains the IVS mapping, the three lenses need to maintain the same relation.

    Cam on gate post

    That is what I thought you were trying to describe. The issue with that is you now have a square on a square, and they're not true to each other. Having them lined up, and being less obvious, is the point of the design. As it is designed now, it is 3 pieces; a top, the middle housing, and the...

    No, it uses its own PFA124. You can modify your PFA121, but the 124 would be better.

    Large DB (>250,000 records) notification in BI

    A lot of my issues were due to errant and non-important alerts. They would just stack up. I moved to IVS alerts from my cameras, instead of BI motion, and it helped a lot. For instance, my flag in the front yard would trigger all day and just rack up the DB. After changing to IVS, I only get...

    Active deterrence or TiOC 2.0?

    I guess this just doesn't seem to really be something people in the US go for. We usually just add cameras, have a security system, and they are there own things.
