Hello ! Im looking for recommendations on a streaming PTZ camera under about 1000$. The priority is video quality since it will not be used for surveillance, It is used indoor with a constant light source. It can have very poor night quality as long as it looks good under typical bright indoor...

Update while waiting for the calibration tool , i played with the hue settings on the smart pss, not in the website setting as there is no hue slider there (check image on the first post) . i was able to roughly match the color, still barely noticeable but not as obvious as the image. So it...

nothing that i notice, it has no other options, just like auto. only manual has some sliders in it

I do not have a regional custom on my choices, maybe because im using an old model

what do yo mean by "last WB option (with a frame)" do you mean the last one in the selection(day, street lamp, fluorescent lamp, etc.. )? ahhh so i can adjust the green then, if i have to much green i just have to increase red and blue by the same amount. Thats so clever!

I have done a bit of reading and came up with an idea of taking a screenshot of the image and using photoshop do determine the RGB value of something grey (i guess i would print out a 50% grey or use the color calibrator) a 50% gray should have an rgb value of 128,128,128. I guess if the values...

Fortunately yes ! these cameras are indoors so the light is consistent. The only inconsistency is the position of the camera, one of the camera (the one that took the greenish shirt) is placed on the dim area but since its a ptz its zoom is set so that only the area with lots of light is on the...

Maybe, but how do i adjust the RED and BLUE values of white balance? it will take me forever to jst trial and error all 5 cameras

Hello, I have 5 ptz cameras and i noticed when i all point them to a single object the image looks different even though they all have the same video settings. This is bothering me and i would like to do something about it. I am satisfied that the cameras are not super color accurate, but what...

Weirdly enough i do not have the H variant but only h264 and h264B, if h264 is baseline and h264B is also baseline, what would then be the difference?

So just basically you want as fast of a exposure as possible. All other video setting are set to help get the fastest exposure that retains a clear video. What does gain actually do? it brightens the image on the hardware level compared to brightness setting which is software? Im noticing that...

Thank you for this guide, i hope you dont mind me asking questions.. what do you mean by 6-8 higher? is that the actual value like if my brightness is say 50/100 the contrast should 58/100? I am currently running a H265, smart codec off (do i need to turn this on?) 15 FPS, VBR at best...

I would like to tune my camera to my environment, but there soo much i dont know which to adjust first. Here are what i can adjust with my camera picture (hue,saturation,contrast,sharpness,gamma) Exposure Backlight WB Now i have no idea how these settings work and have been just randomy...

This is a great document ! So what i dont understand now is the platform and function part Platform 1: Entry Series 2: Lite Series 3: WizSense Series 4: Pro Series 5: WizMind 5 Series Is the higher the number better than its lower number? can you tell me the most notable feature of...

A local seller still have some IPC-HDBW1831RN-S on stock according to dahua page its already EOL (End of Life) and im wondering if its still worth it to get this one, it is priced similarly (just a couple buck more) to a IPC-HDBW2831E-S-S2 which i assume is its successor. On paper the specs it...

Oh, can you tell me more about their naming conventions? Do you know of any more? I see so its great for outdoors? what can you do with audio ? like record audio with the camera or output audio with the camera? What can you do with the alarm also?

I was using Dahua's product selector and noticed these two cameras that confused me a little IPC-HFW2831S-S-S2 IPC-HFW2831T-AS-S2 These two cameras looks to be the same camera but just on a different body. Aside from the lense options is there a reason...

oh wait so you mean i have no problems using 16 8mp on 1 NVR? the only problem i will face is there might be problems displaying all 16 channels on the monitor? So the recording is fine?

Hello I would like to canvas some hikvision cameras, where is the best place to buy cameras? Im currently looking for the cheapest place to get 8MP 4k cameras with sensors larger than 1/2

That is a beautiful nvr, were you able to buy this from somewhere good sir? I think this is perfect 8 bays 16 channels of 8MP 15fps

If i were going on a route where i want only 1 NVR, do you know what model NVR i should go for ?

Yes im completly watching out for this, i was able to test this NVR and it would seem i would need 3 NVRs. Im planning to run them at 10fps to get away with just using 2

about that feature you mentioned, the one with two LAN port. I dont understand it, how does it improve performance? All 16 cameras are connnected to a 24 port POE gigabit switch (with nvr connected to it also), these cameras only use about 20Mbps far from the gigabit the switches can fully...

Hello i have two NVR options that i would like to compare DHI-NVR5232-4KS2 DHI-NVR5832-4KS2 I would like to know which of them is better. It will be used with 16x 8MP 4k cameras and 4x 2MP 1080P cameras. Both of them can fit to the price budget that we have, so it will come down to which...

dahua's cameras has a max bitrate of 8000 kbps, assuming 9000kbps * 32 = 288 000 kpbs which is still lower than its maximum. So am i missing something here ? also if lets say i have only 16 4k cameras, would there be any sense to buy a 32 channel one just for the extra computing power? The...

Well this does not really apply now since i changed my camera selection because of what you have taught me, but assuming i did get 8MP 4k cameras and lets say 32 of those, was NVR the correct choice...

Thank you very much this thread has been very informative for me. So the one thing i learned is that sensor size is king in surveillance purposes. One last thing, does NVR matter? aside from those smart features, does it really matter? are there good or bad NVRs ?

ohhhhh damn, i did not notice the full color is the same one you linked a while ago ... oh definitely, this local supplier has to go. That makes a lot of sense now, their cameras cost less than 65$ which i would think is a bit cheap for a proper 8MP camera. The only thing why i did not chose...

Okay if i throw in a full color camera 8MP 1/2.8 , its still a bad ratio. From what i read how full color works is they were designed for ultra low light, with special sensor designed to absorb more light. Here is the full color camera model that my local supplier gave me...

oh thats so bad ! i thought the deer was on a ground with rocks, turns out to be grass. I'm curious though if you dial down the resolution of the 8MP into 4MP (2k resolution instead of 4k) would it be like a real 4MP camera?
