    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Has I have said in a previous post, the IR didn't work from day one. Eddy at Longse wanted me to pay for the postage to send it back to them (after a number of weeks playing email ping pong and their technician connecting to the camera remotely). I was cheesed off enough with the camera so I...

    one thing I did note, when you select single stream, it defaults to 5mp but using H.265 rather than H.264... something to watch out for. rice

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    I've tried from the min value to the max value, going up in 500 steps. looking at my other cameras, the bit rate seems to go up in multiple powers of 2, ie binary values. wonder if there is something in that...? but, I also tried that theory and it made no real difference! :( Rice

    I to only use the main stream, so tried it setup as single stream, but it was no better. Also reduced the frame rate to 25fps/20fps/15fps. Still get the ghosting, osd clock going awol and dropping out :sad2: rice

    Hi bp2008, Did you ever get anywhere with the re-designed user interface? Only asking as the mock ups looked really good! rice

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Unfortunately, this camera is advertised as 5mp 30fps and, from my experience, is unable to do this. After reading all the posts on here over the months, I don't think anyone is running the camera at its maximum setting...? This being due I guess to it being so unstable and unreliable. People...

    Hi rcirz, I'll be interested in :- i) where you find out what the sensor is as it reports the right sensor in the web interface and ii) what you find! Happy hunting :cool: rice

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    This is something I posted a few pages back. increasing the iframe rate just seems to alter how long it take to clean up the image before it start to "trail" again. i did find that dropping the resolution to 2mp helped with this a lot, however, I still have a LOT of "no signal" alarms. on...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    ...think I've got a lemon too! The IR failed from day one. When it is set at 5mp main stream, I get a lot of dropped frames. It is like the camera is running in slow motion, then to catch up it skips a few seconds! Now I've dropped it down to 2mp main stream, it randomly falls over. Like...

    I've been playing quite a bit with the settings. DNR is turned off for both 3D and 2D. It's set to single stream, H264 2592x1944 frame rate from 10 fps up to 25 fps bit rate from 5000 -> 12000 in steps of 500 Tried both VBR & CBR The clock running slow, then dropping frames to catch up seems...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Thanks for the advice. I tried this, but it didn't make much difference. The OSD clock runs slow, then it will skip frames and catch up. It repeats this over about 7-8 seconds. I'm thinking along the same way as you pozzello, you would think the more often the iframes, the better the motion...

    Can anyone tell me why, sometimes, with this camera connected to BI, when I play the video back I end up with "trails" on moving objects in the frame. The "trails" clear every second then start again! Thanks Rice

    Since updating to the new firmware (thanks klasipca :)), I've notice a strange problem... The camera time overlay is sometimes there... Sometimes not! Anyone else had this? Rice

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    The camera is set to LDR (light dependent resistor), but the LEDs continue to cycle. I actually think the driver board is shutting down due to thermal reasons..it gets seriously hot, shuts down, cools down then restarts. The result is the LEDs when they first switch on will work OK for...

    I've also had quite a few issues with this camera... From day one, when it got dark, the ir leds would come on, but would continuously cycle on and off. After a lot of emails to and fro to Eddy and their "technician" using team viewer to access the camera, they finally agreed with me that it was...

    I had a camera from ZXTec that used the same firmware. When I tried to update that, it bricked it! Did you use the cameras web server to update or the search tool program? Cheers Rice

    Thanks for the reply. I've tried both Video Auto and LDR Auto, it doesn't make any difference to the LEDs cycling. The default value for the icut filter was set to 3. I've tried this setting with different values and it makes no difference. Looks as though once the cycling begins, the only way...

    Hi all! ive been following this thread now for a number of months as I've been wanting to upgrade one of my cameras. So, I finally made the plunge and bought a S500 from Longse.

    I run 6 cameras like this and I too have been able to get BI to crash at will, though I've only proven it using the iPhone app, I've not tried it using UI2... The way I have seen it happen is if an alert appears in the list and you click it to watch it as it is still being triggered /...

    Hi bp2008, just a suggestion... When the animation plays for the clip (or if you mouse over a clip?), the size of that clip window goes larger? just a thought :rolleyes: Rice

    Hiya zero-degrees! Thanks for the reply! Milkisbad has kindly send me his PDFs and also mentioned, as have you, that due the the postage cost it is probably better to look at AE. Pity though, looking through his flyer is like going into a sweet shop! All those goodies and at a good price too...

    Why not... Have a hot key, so under normal running conditions, you will maximise what you see with a camera view (as you have currently), unimpeded by a label. However, when you need to know what the camera name is, you press a Hot Key and this will overlay, in large text, over All the camera...
