    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    It may be 2 sec in the image. It is a little ambiguous. You can read it here from Dahua. https://dahuawiki.com/IVS

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    You have to account for the size in your FOV. For long distance in a FOV, you can setup 2 different intrusions and set size accordingly. Just remember, for intrusion boxes, they say you need the target in the box for at least 2 sec.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    I had an issue with racoons triggering the human IVS too. I turned sensitivity down to 4 and increased the minimum target size also. Have to see how this goes. Seems that the Dahua Engineers have not updated the human IVS when they added animal IVS. False human triggers does not happen very...

    New IPC-Color4K-T is Out of Focus.

    I guess you sacrifice the long distance focus when setting the close focus better?

    New IPC-Color4K-T is Out of Focus.

    I wonder if this depth of field focus issue is only on the 4K color version, or is it on all the newer 4K cameras?

    Security camera installer reuses passwords

    What is worse, is that the installer, that is Pissed Off at you, has access to your system. That would be my first thing to correct.

    Spider Webs Covering Outside Camera Lens

    If you are using turret cameras, sometimes the spiders like to hide in the gap between round camera enclosure and the mounting case. The FL Mud dabber Wasps love to crawl in there and make their nests. I use the foam weather stripping material between the enclosure and camera to keep them out...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-SE S3 2.8mm 4k fixed lens

    Loony, have you used digital zoom in BI for this 8MP camera and compared it to the 4MP 5442 series, when looking at far distances? Does it look like it was approx 2X better resolution when zoomed?

    I feel your pain. I use a pool cobweb brush on a pool extension pole. Also use Raid for for the ones that don't learn. https://www.amazon.com/Poolmaster-20610-Cobweb-Brush-Collection/dp/B0026T5404

    The case for using the SSA backlight setting

    Sometimes it looks like SSA may overcompensate WDR setting on some of my camera locations, but on other locations it seems to do a good job with correction.

    Recommended Home/Away Settings

    Yes, but Ken needs to add the capability for everyone to add their own wav files to BI alerts for better ID of areas, like "front yard, Driveway, Kitchen, Audio home alarm, etc." At least add some pre-canned messages that users can select from. Sometimes when waking from deep sleep on tone...

    Recommended Home/Away Settings

    Continuous recordings are like cameras in general. No one thinks they need it until something happens, then it is too late. If you do not continuously record, you are not serious about your security. You make the choice. As far as notifications, I would recommend having 2 different types of...
