But with the pinhole lens fitted ... does it focus ?

The original comment was relating to not being able to see 'live view' in a web browser, so changing to UDP in the camera settings was to fix that problem.

Its the easy and IMHO the best method :) Sensors require illumination of the subject, the more the better.... what kind of illumination is up to you, but in stock form the humble and cheap top-201 is not all singing and dancing.

I'm only a humble tired old man... If they want to call it a 'dual filter' then so be it :rolleyes: If they want to call it a super duper box of potatoes then as long as it has an IR filtering part that can be removed for the purpose at hand then a rose by any other name would smell just as...

Its called 'dual' because its switchable between clear and IR blocking (2 options) Inside the device is a electromagnet which changes the position of the IR filter so that its either in front of the sensor or not.

Hi stepz It looks like an IR filter.. but only way to prove it, is to test it. The cheap way to obtain a filter is to purchase something like this ...

Just to expand.. The standard top-201 as ruppmeister says above is IR blocking, which is good if 1. you don't need IR capability and 2. the lens focal length is perfect for the chosen situation. IF you need a different lens then and point 1 is still valid then it will...

Hi stepz The 'top201' type of camera board does not come with the IR switching/ blocking components, and needs to use an IR blocking lens to keep the colours right.... (doesn't come with it cos the case/box is to small) So if you can find a pinhole lens that is IR blocking then all will be well.

Our old friend iTune must of had political training in avoiding a question by giving an answer to something else.....lol

Sometimes, lol .... With some lens its possible... and others its not. The major problem is that the basic camera whilst being fantastic value for money, is not able to be all things to all men cos to keep the price down the IR has to suffer, there are ways around the problem but as it stands...

Maybe the 'new' firmware has been named incorrectly and is indeed the old, lol

Which on balance (all things and $$$ considered) is fair.

Hi JDWX The pinhole lens it self is nothing special as far as sticking a pinhole lens into a 'TOP-21' type of camera goes, apart from ensuring that the case has a short threaded projection, and using something like blunted tweezers for adjusting the focus... the trick would be to use an IR cut...

Just to add.... Not sure about the 'pin hole lens' as posted above, but it may be IR pass which means that the color (colour) could be affected, IMHO IR block and a small amount of additional ambient external lighting is the better method The whole concept of the 'TOP-21' variants give a...

I have tried that app on my phablet and using the info from wayyyyyyyyyyyy back in this thread, it works fine. Stream can be selected to be 0 or 1 Test the height and angles before attacking the frame :rolleyes: (but eye level may be a bit high)

By coincidence I ordered a board today IPC IPG 1080P SONY IMX222 Hi3516 So give it a few weeks and I'll let you know

Update All parts arrived... so just to state the blee*ing irrelevant, The 1MP Hi3518E board with 1/4" OV 09712 preforms well, but the 1.3MP Hi3518E board with 1/3" AR 0130 is better Dur! Plot lost... but I'm sure it will return :rolleyes:

Not as yet ... But my method will be 1. Remove lens and apply PTFE (plumbers tape) to the lens threads. 2. Silicone sealant into cable hole (and a rubber boot if available or if you can be arsed) 3. Rubber stretchy tape (coax seal ?) over joint between back cover and case 4. Plastic washers to...

Now days its all the tools of the hobbies, lol P.S Microphone arrived today, so only 3 more things to come before the fun starts.

Yes But prefer to use this

Cases arrived, looking good.. they are errrrr little cases Waiting on boards for the next step

No worse than any other workshop / shop floor I've been in, but not good for polite dinner conversation though :peaceful:

I hope that this 'change' will be one for the better. I'd like to thank you for your help / assistance / hand holding and patience that you have given me when fixing my language problems with my uncommon Hikvision devices (and even more so when I tried to be clever and managed to make one of...

Hi lojix I ordered http://www.aliexpress.com/item/FPV-Square-Mini-Metal-CCTV-camera-case-Housing-for-38-38MM-ccd-Board/32297031266.html as they have the shorter threaded lens mounting more suited for pin hole lens application, but should be fine with standard lens as well I have no idea at...

Found that a while ago when I was looking for what to connect the green wire to... so a few of the reads are mine (but not all of them, lol) But I'm glad this threat has woken up again, as I've succumbed to temptation and ordered some boards and cases :)

Good point bls Heres how someone else made a multi output psu http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-a-Computer-ATX-Power-Supply-to-a-Lab-Power-Supply

I think (from memory) that the yellow wires in the ATX PSU are +12v

Sounds like the plans coming together :D

Means they are out of stock, the price will be adjusted when they are available again If you wanted you could seen them a message using a different link asking how long before they are available again.
