Thanks - but I'm not clear on this. 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600 (roughly 2 million) which explains why the camera is referred to as 2MP. When I configure a 8MP camera to output 1920 x 1080 is it effectively not using 6 million pixels? If so, wouldn't the image quality be about the same as a 2MP...

If you had a IPC-HDW3241T-ZAS 2MP which has a native resolution of 1920x1080 and a IPC-HDW3841T-ZAS 8MP and manually configured the latter to 1920x1080 resolution, would there be any appreciable difference in image quality? Both models feature a 1/2.8 CMOS image sensor.

Note the base of the 4231 is 16mm smaller than the 5231 and Dahua has a specific junction box PF139 and wall mount PFB204W for it.

That helps, thanks for the feedback!

I will have more than one camera. There will be other cameras on the front and sides of the house and another camera on the back side of the house that will be positioned to capture the view shown in Pic 2. I only planned to use one to cover the area I highlighted in pic 1. When you say "cover...

My goals are to monitor activity on my property and to provide the authorities with usable footage (faces?) in the event of a break-in. I've been experimenting with camera placement. Pic 1 is a shot of the back of my house with the three areas (sunroom, doors and windows) I'm trying to protect...

Thanks for the ideas. I ended up attaching three right angle brackets to a piece of 1/4" plywood and using a clamp to hold the plywood to an adjustable height painters pole. It worked well, but in hindsight, since I was comparing two cameras, I should have cut the plywood large enough to mount...

I have two turret style cameras arriving this week from LTS, a 2.8mm and 4mm model. My plan is to use these two models to determine the best locations to mount several cameras around the outside of my home to provide 100% coverage. To this end, I plan to try many different mounting locations...

Thanks, I pulled the trigger on that one.

Thanks for your help. I'm seeing lots of USDT models, but SFF offerings seem sparse. I read your post on the new hardware acceleration feature , so I would like to choose a processor that could take advantage of that as well. Would you mind posting a link to an example EliteDesk so I can make...

Good point. I looked at Dell and HP outlet and didn't see any i5s that cheap at the moment, but did find this on eBay: HP Elite 8100 i7 2.8Ghz 8GB ram 320GB HD Q57 Express chipset $249 shipped HP Elite 8200 i7 3.4Ghz 8GB ram 1TB HD Q67 Express chipset $319 shipped My preference would be...

I see BI recommends a dual core 2.0 Pentium as minimum and an i7 if you have many HD cameras. I noticed QNAP sells NAS boxes that can run virtual machines. They offer a TS-253 Pro with a Celeron 2Ghz quad core processor and 8 Gig of ram. Has anyone tried to install Windows on the VM portion of...
