    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    You need to look up the specs of your NVR. If the ports don't support POE+, then it can't power your camera. You'd have to use an injector or another POE+ switch between the camera and NVR.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Yes, all POE switch ports can be used with or without POE equipment on the other end of the link. The ports auto negotiate with the end device if power needs to be sent or not.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    This is the exact one I'm using to power a outdoor POE passthrough switch which also, in turn, powers my 5A4M. Working solid and no issues. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QCGV6C7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Yeah, you don't need that power supply if using a POE+ switch or injector. An injector is the easy route if your current switch doesn't support POE+. The power supply that came with my camera is sitting in the box in the attic.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Haha. Yeah. If don’t need the 45x zoom, then I still think 5A4M is the better camera. Might as well take advantage of the larger sensor size.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Doubt it. But, yes, you need lots of light to run color at night. That is why I chose that camera. I have lots of light AND the 5A4M has a large sensor size. It's a win-win.

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    @JPmedia Yes, you do need lots of light to run pretty much any camera in color at night. Here is what auto tracking looked like last night on the 5A4M...

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    I have the 5A4M. I want a larger sensor size for nighttime since I run it in color 24/7. Excellent camera.

    Panoramic PTZ

    Is that the only area of your camera that you can setup tracking? On my PTZ5A4M, I setup auto tracking under the IVS setting of the Smart Plan.

    Panoramic PTZ

    About a year ago when I was looking to a add wide angle and vehicle/auto tracking to my business parking lot, I also went looking for a combo ptz/panoramic like you are. The problem is, none of them have good sensor sizes. I ended up just installing two cams: 4K-X (in 2.8mm) and a PTZ5A4M...

    This Wide Angle Cam Looks Fun !!! BUT does it work with BI ???

    Not the right sensor size for MP. Yes, it will work with BI. But it just one LARGE scene at 5120 × 1440. So that means, everything will be "squished" down. The better fisheye and panoramic cams have the ability to break out multiple steams/channels of the main panorama at a regular...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I'm impressed with how quickly they switch from IR to color. I may have to get one of these.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Do you run those cams in IR behind glass? I’m just wondering if reflection in IR or white light mode would be an issue.

    Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something

    It’s pretty easy as I’m just sending a wget command via Linux cron job and using Sunwait to execute the command at sunrise/sunset for my location. I wrote a tutorial a while back about it here: Program for flipping cameras to day/night on Linux

    Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something

    I’m also using a 12 hour clock on my 4K-X but I send a signal to the cam at sunset to have it switch over to night mode so I guess I’m not really using its built in scheduling since im commanding it externally.

    I saw this mentioned with Avast somewhere before so I can't take credit. I don't even know exactly why it breaks SSL but it sure as hell does it appears. Anti-virus is and has always been a sore point for me going back to the 90s. They act like viruses by breaking and slowing down things and...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Can this cam be setup so it starts in IR at night and then, when motion is detected, it transitions to color/white light?

    Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

    What version of Windows is this? Usually certificate issues have to do with out of date OS. Also, are you running any antivirus software? Avast?

    Blue Iris UI3

    I’m unfortunately still getting those error message on Brave IOS even after upgrading to UI-286. I can click "suppress alert" but I still get the red overlay on the right side of the screen in the actual camera view page. I made sure to stop the BI service, copy everything from the UI-286 zip...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    @sunny0101786 You need both more zoom and a better angle. Camera needs to be moved so it’s looking further down the road at less of an angle then it is now.

    Laser/LED pointer prevention - please help!

    That looks like the camera is malfunctioning. I think you just need newer/better cameras.

    First Impressions of the new AI LPR camera

    POE+ and only 3x optical zoom. The 12mm focal length alone is a game breaker for most of us. Only those that can mount this at the road can really take advantage of it. And do you have to run their crappy controller software to interact with this?

    All good advice in this thread. I have a camera pointed right on the front door of my business. I have it zoomed in tight so I get people as they walk in from their waist to the top of the their head. Makes it easy when police need to see a face (used it several times for this already...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I just looked up the cost of Starlink. Did they go up? They want $120/month for my address! I got a Tmobile hotspot plan for backup that I put the SIM in my router so if my Wow fiber goes down it switches over to TMobile. That’s only $12.50/month for 30GB. Edit: Oh I see they have a roaming...

    Remote site, no broadband, power available

    Can you get Starlink? That would be my suggestion if cell service is spotty.
