    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    They asked a very pointed question is there a Linux option, probably for a specific reason. If your someone that works in IT and familiar with security, we all know very very well all of the security implications of running Windows PC's on your networks. While that is acceptable for most home...

    SD49225T-HN Auto Tracking and Plugin Help

    So first of all I love the camera so far. Second of all, I understand the limitations of APTZ, so if your only answer is put in 10,000 more manual cameras skip to a new thread please. The PTZ works fine for manual / web controls. I am now trying my first experiments to enable it to try and...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE bad night video

    So I have done numerous things. I can connect to the nvr using chrome and the chrome app. I also ensured that chrome was the default browser just in case. When I click the little IE icon nothing happens. The only button that does anything in the registration screen is the edit pencil...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE bad night video

    Here are some screen shots. Camera registration seems to be the only area with connect or setup buttons. If I click the pencil edit on a camera in registration then I get this modify screen. I can change settings there, but if I click connect it doesn't do anything, and the setup button is...

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE bad night video

    So I am struggling with the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras, and I am sure it is my own fault. I have a mixture of several models of cameras, and currently even my super cheap china cameras do well at night, and the video from these is almost useless. So I have them hooked up to a...

    best night time dash cam performance

    I have seen a lot of good dash cams, I have not seen any that perform very well at night. Any one know of any good starlight setups, or anything good in the dark ?

    Unusual setup

    there are a few usb capture cards that are decent, StarTech was good if I remember right from some work I did. they take a BNC video connection, some have audio, some not. You could use one of those and a video switch if you can't find a more elegant solution

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Wow that is high. It gets quite hot around here, it may not do well in this area. I guess I will find out. I decided that I was going to add one to my setup even though I know most likely I won't be using the ptz functions

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    So this model comes in the SD49225T-HN and SD49225T-HN-W if a person can get the W for the same price, is that what you would do ? The W I assume can do both wireless, and poe ? You would still recommend this camera ?

    Comparison of mini bullet HFW-4231E-SE with 3 other cameras

    Thank you both. Odd how the 5mp labeled starlight with starlight specs aren’t. Still these look useful in the right deployments

    Comparison of mini bullet HFW-4231E-SE with 3 other cameras

    Tiger, my understanding is that on of the strengths of the starlights are low light with no IR at all. Do you have any shots from them without IR ? Thanks

    Comparison of mini bullet HFW-4231E-SE with 3 other cameras

    well seems I can only find that one in up to a 3.6mm so far, so might have to go with something like you just kindly demonstrated for us for anything that isn't a broad view camera

    Varifocal vs Fixed

    makes sense, thanks. I will give that a try. I need to experiment and see how well they do out here with and without IR

    Varifocal vs Fixed

    I am actually cabling while we speak. Keeps me busy while waiting on the toys. I had also considered extra illuminators. My biggest concern is that bugs are just nuts where I live, so I don't want to attract them. I have a ton of porch lamps going up as we speak also, and am curious about...

    Comparison of mini bullet HFW-4231E-SE with 3 other cameras

    Amazing post. I am surprised there has not been more comment on it. looks like a nice little camera, nice to see them side by side. I was curious about cameras like the IPC-HDW4631C-A, it is supposed to be starlight and shows good lux numbers. Does the Chinese really matter short of support...

    Nightvision / Starlight only available on 2MP ?

    IPC-HF8835F is an 8mp starlight camera if you have a lot of $$$

    Varifocal vs Fixed

    So obviously the IPC-HDW5231R-Z or IPC-HDW5231R-ZE are awesome cameras. I love varifocal, and obviously you can get the perfect focus as opposed to compromising. At the same time, once you get them zoomed to the right level, they are basically fixed, easily adjustable cameras. At $160+ a...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    I am seriously considering one of these to cover the large field and driveway in the country on the approach to our house. My one reservation is I have always been told that most people turn off tracking because of phantoms rendering it useless. I figure being very remote maybe I would be ok...

    Advise on a new cameras for a new camera install.

    So I was looking at the latest naming convention on the Dahua site. Is there anything in the number that indicates a camera is starlight ? if so which digit ?

    Advise on a new cameras for a new camera install.

    Thanks a million, that helps a lot. I am currently getting my cameras from China, so that helps. My understanding is that I can mix both PAL and NTSC cameras with no problem. I have tons of experience with LPR, I actually wrote a program for the Sheriff's Department to utilize ANPR in...

    Advise on a new cameras for a new camera install.

    I am aware that the STARVIS is a sensor, and starlight is a separate technology. I just like the looks of both, or even better combining the two. I am leaning towards turret style, or bullet style outside, don't care inside. I was also thinking of adding audio on the indoor cameras. H265+...

    Advise on a new cameras for a new camera install.

    Up front, any advice is greatly appreciated. It isn't your job to design my system, but any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. 4, 000 sq ft house. Rural setting, dark as dark at night unless the stars are out. I have one thing nailed down, I will be using the Dahua NVR Dahua...
