    Recommendation for Nightclub dance floor camera

    Hmm.. maybe you have a legit use for an HF8835F !! https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/8mp-starlight.23466/page-2#post-234187 I think it's something around $900 for the camera itself & you'd need to add some kind of M43 lens. It's got a monster of a sensor in it... while the HFW4239T-ASE might be...

    I want the best Dahua

    Tangent might have more experience w/ the fiber stuff, but to give you an idea. For fiber, you usually have a switch on either end with a couple SFP ports. These are a sort of generic port that let you interchange different types of fiber adapters, depending on what you need. Most of the...

    16:9 is horrendous, please stop buying them

    I and most of my stereoscopic compatriots prefer wide aspect ratios that complement the orientation of our ocular perception... but I understand if you pirates and others who identify as cyclops would prefer the square orientation.

    NVR4108-4KS Recordings Paused by Thieves

    So you're stating that his "use of a vpn" means his network is 100% secure? It's nonsense because the NVRs are 100% bulletproof? People around here should understand exploits in network hardware better than most.

    NVR4108-4KS Recordings Paused by Thieves

    While I'll agree that the use of a sophisticated attack is pretty unlikely, the timing does seem suspicious. Does anyone here know with 100% certainty what exploits/back-doors are present in the Dahua NVRs? That's a rhetorical question of course... the answer is no. Can a person get on...

    Review-Dahua SD42212T-HN 2mp Starlight 12x PTZ

    While panning/tilting would behave somewhat strange, presets would work just fine. With my own PTZ models, I've found that I use those more than manual panning & tilting. They're also handy when you can trigger them based on an external event... ie: a door was opened, so flip over & zoom to...

    Blue Roller

    Yeah, if it's just a single diode in series w/ the GU10 LED bulb, then they're basically running with 50hz pulsed-DC current. That's generally the cheapest, most simple way to power an LED bulb w/ AC current.. granted, the LED is itself a diode by nature, but the other also restricts the...

    Anyone know why I can't access my poe cams through a switch in between another switch and cam

    So.. the HP switch provides power to the cameras? Agreed, a diagram might help clarify this. My understanding is that your 220ft cable run is between the camera and this HP switch. If you're able to manage the camera with a computer plugged directly into the same HP switch, that probably...

    Blue Roller

    Yeah, those look like small LED can lights. Many Dahua cameras have an anti-flicker setting... if yours does, try it: https://dahuawiki.com/IPC/Camera_Configuration#Anti-Flicker You can also run a test using a standard incandescent bulb w/ those overhead lights off & see if it changes.

    IPC-HFW4239T-ASE TrueColor - new bullet camera.

    Correct, since many bugs (that spiders eat) are attracted to the IR bulbs, this camera won't have that problem. I've had mine up for several months w/o any webs getting in the way. Comparing this camera to the other starlight models is a bit tricky. If you have streetlights or other ambient...

    What do I need to set up a dahua ptz poe camera at a barn 1000 feet away over wifi

    Yeah, as Red said... if you get the Nanostation 5 AC (not the Loco flavor), it'll run on standard PoE. So you would only need a single PoE+ switch in your barn that'll power both the nano uplink & the camera. I'm doing basically the same thing here, but w/ much shorter range from my patio with...

    IPC-HFW8232E-Z Add heater

    I'd guess the PoE circuit likely doesn't support the current it'd take to run a heater. They don't sell a "heater module" that would fit into one of these integrated bullets... only the bigger ones used w/ the c-mount cameras. If you're good w/ electronics & wanted to go the DIY route, it...

    Dahua HFW4239T-ASE review

    Sorry 'bout the delay. Mounting the big SD65 somewhere near the 4239 is gonna be tricky, at least such that it can't be messed with if I left it mounted for a few days. So... new plan, I ordered the dome flavor of the 4239 which should be delivered in a few days. I'll be able to attach them...

    Dahua HFW4239T-ASE review

    These cameras have different types of sensors. The 4239 does NOT do infrared (black & white night vision) but can operate in color on very little light. If you want to capture an image in "total darkness", then the standard type of camera w/ IR illuminators (like the 4231 and most other models...

    the Pin numbers are the same regardless.. it's just the wire color that changes: Industrial Ethernet Book On a somewhat related note (I may post this elsewhere if I tackle this tonight..), I'm about to attempt to repair the ethernet wiring on a 5231 camera that a squirrel chewed through.

    Starlight comes to Dashcams -IPC-MW4231A-E2 2MP Dual Lens Dash Camera

    seems like you could rig up that connector w/ a few short jumpers to a keystone jack, then the +/- 12v to a barrel connector. Pan Pacific | Product Detail | 6 Pin Male M12 Panel Front Mount Connector Pin sizes look wrong, though. Just odd that it doesn't seem like a standard M12 version, at...

    Dahua HFW4239T-ASE review

    ok, i was able to tweak the lens just a bit... I didn't need to unhook anything, just opened up the access panel & twisted the lens w/ some small pliers. It seemed to go in & out of focus rather easily.. just sorta by nudging the thing, so I suspect something else is loose. Anyway, the focus...

    Dahua HFW4239T-ASE review

    Haven't had a chance to mount my other cam for comparison purposes, but I just got the 4239 mounted outside facing my driveway. When I had it inside, it looked fine, but it sure does look out of focus now... yikes! Granted, this is a bit after midnight w/ several lights illuminating the...

    Dahua HFW4239T-ASE review

    I've got the dome-flavor of the 8232 (mounted over my front door... don't really want to unhook/move) and the 4239... I might be able to mount the 4239 next to it to compare. I've also got my SD65F230F which I STILL haven't installed yet... it's got the same sensor. Might be easier to...

    IPC-HFW4239T-ASE TrueColor - new bullet camera.

    I wonder how much better it does w/ B&W and an external IR flood. I realize the main point is it's color capability, but if you went to the cops w/a picture of a blurry guy in a yellow shirt with red shoes, how much good does that do? Would be cool if you could use that image to "colorize" a...

    Dahua 8mp 4/3 Starlight IR BULLET IPC-HFS8833

    Cool... would probably be more simple to install than the IPC-HF8835F, assuming the 25mm lens is what you need. I gotta assume this is pushing the $1k mark. Any ideas on price @EMPIRETECANDY ? I'm also curious about the IRcut behavior since this version includes the IR leds.

    8MP Starlight+

    This type of camera isn't weatherproof at all... it needs to go into an enclosure like the one mentioned above... DH-PFH610N DH-PFH610N,DH PFH610N,DHPFH610N That one is no longer sold by B&H, but this one would probably work if you used a short lens: MG Electronics CAMH-400K 12" Outdoor...

    yeah, he seems to have it all categorized... drivers going backwards, drivers doing donuts, drivers hitting cyclists...

    Is Rob from Chilliwack on here?

    I stumbled into some of his crazy footage here: 2015 It looks like he upgraded at least one of his cameras in 2016 to a Swan 1080p model. I sorta want to help him upgrade one of his driveway cams to a starlight model just so we can get a better look at some of the faces. 2016 It sounds...

    Advise on a new cameras for a new camera install.

    Unless you count the absurdly awesome HF8835F :) but yeah, about $1k once you toss-in a lens & a weatherproof housing. Probably overkill. IPC-HF8835F So an HFW5231E-Z12 for the driveway is probably ideal!

    8MP Starlight+

    interesting.. So I wonder, is that a fixed IR filter in front of the sensor? I wonder if it could be removed if it is. Guess you could point another IR camera & illuminator at it... it'd look black or reflective if it is a filter, right? Hell, I'd probably have the thing disassembled on my...

    8MP Starlight+

    The A&E docs mention a mechanical day/night IR cut filter... I wonder if it has to be triggered some other way!? Or maybe the software is just broken or lens-dependent. I was at BestBuy earlier this evening and they had several M43 lenses on sale. I saw this Panasonic one w/ a f/1.7...

    hmm... this seems to be the only M43 mount lens on the Dahua website: PFL085-J12M - Dahua Technology F2.8 and 8.5mm, manual focus & iris. @EMPIRETECANDY Any idea what this lens would cost? Their accessory list was updated too and it shows this as a HF2 "shape" camera which would fit into...
