Is there a way to enable a higher shutter speed than 1/120s (non fixed but rather from-to x ms) in the night profile using 60hz anti flickr? (Camera 4k-X) I used 0-35 gain and 1/120s shutter with 60hz anti flicker (due to external spotlight), but in the morning it will become over exposed...

My 4k-X does not recognise humans at night, but works flawlessly during the day. Do you know which criteria a human have to fit in order to trigger recording? Currently the general motion makes sure video is captured (a long with a huge amount of videos of flies), but I am only interested in...

Had a look at the sample images from the website above and it is pretty clear that the 5442E is superior.

Looking for an IR cam to supplement the 4k-x. I was hoping the situation may be a little different since the aperture is quite large for an IR cam. f1.3 gathers more than twice the amount of light compared to an f1.8, which may counteract the smaller sensor size. However seems a little too good...

Do any of you know of where there are thorough tests/reviews of this cam? Searched the forum and did not find it. Searching far and wide to find a suitable cam for my front porch (ideal near focus 1m, far Identification-DORI 13 meters to cover the whole area). 6-7 mm focal length is what I am...

The 4k-x performs better in BW from what I can tell. If I get a second camera I might change the 4k-x to color as the camera closest to the perp will get the facial features (in BW). Identification has been possible so far in BW. 1 intruder was identified by the police and I have a second case...

In videos from the 5442 it seemsnto have issues adapting the IR intensity when subjects get closer tonthe camera. Is that correct? Would not want to blow out any facial features etc - would need the camera to take care of the IR exposure. The distance to the subject will be 3-15 feet directly...

How does the image quality for stills stack up to the 7442? Will definitely consider it.

Currently I have a 4K-X which I am really happy with, but I would need another camera at a lower angle to complement it in order to get the full face upon intrusion (reason explained by attached image where part of the face is obscured by the cap). To complement it I want to place a camera...

These settings work for us - the first perp visit we got was later caught by the police. Still may need some optimization, but the proof is in the conviction. We have a dim porch light and 100% on the illuminators. This is the 3.6mm version. Any gain seems to smear in our case, so kept it at 0.

Thinking of buying a ipc-hfw7442h-z which should give better night time performance than the 12MP version. Any suggestions on where to buy it from as it is EOL? I also have the 4k-X in the same location (ceiling), but this would be at a lower angle to catch faces covered by baseball caps (since...

Looking forward to a version with a longer focal length. Would need a camera at a lower angle for those perps whom are wearing baseball caps :). Will there be a successor any time soon using IMX585 btw?

The compression really made a difference. See attached images H265 H264H H264H and noise reduction Which H264 mode should I use? Got 3 to choose from

Thanks for the tip. I got the impression h265 was superior in most ways to h264 after reading about it online. B/W should give better performance and I think I compared the two modes and found it to be correct. Changed to color during the day though. Was in bw by mistake.

Last night there was another visitoraand I would like to improve the output (less pixelation etc). Any ideas given my setting and the scene?

Spent some time dialing in the settings before going on vacation. It's great to see that the first instance where the people who were bothering us for the past 4 years came to visit I got a clear enough image for positive identification by the police. Set it to manual exposure and 0-9 ms, 0-10...

I changed the fps to 15 but kept 4k resolution, h265 and 1/500s. Also changed the encoding to AAC and removed the noise filter. The sound seems to be improved as it is not fluttering during preview mode, but will have to keep testing. Where can I see the cpu load on the camera? (No NVR).

The sound quality on the 4k-x was quite underwhelming out of the box. My reolink 820a was really good in terms of sound quality (not video quality though). Any suggestions for which setting to use to pick up sound without stuttering, interuptions and overall poor fluctuating sound pick up...

Is there any way to make the 4k-x (DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED) activate the LEDs when motion is detected (also considering any workarounds)? I don't think that deterrance feature is available, but in case I am wrong or if there is a viable workaround, I'd be really interested in knowing about...

I'll have a look at DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED as suggested and go from there. Thanks for the replies. It has the f1.0 which I was looking for in the 5442, leds and a larger sensor (double the pixel count but should be ok anyway).

I think the reolink can capture the scene (3.6mm dahua equivalent fov) and a dahua 6mm IR model 5442 could capture part of the scene for identification. Turret or dome is a matter of performance for me - I expect the turret to outperform the domes. Which model would you suggest given the scene...

I will read the replies again once I return home, but to clarify there is a street light outside my house (7 metres away) and the perps could be either front light or back light depending on whether they go for me or my neighbours house (town house). My main concearn with IR cams is the risk of...

Currently have a reolink rlc-820 which is no good at night (motion blur) and since flood lights is not an option I am wondering whether HFW5442T-ASE-NI is the way to go considering the sensor size, aperture f1.0 and 60 fps in 1080. Also curious to know whether the 3.6mm is the best performing...
