    Field of View from Picture?

    Hmm, I think I'll go up and take a panorama shot approximating 90 and 70 degrees. Thanks!

    Field of View from Picture?

    An iPhone 5 and I'm looking at something in the 4mm and 2.8mm range. I have Hik's now, but I'm not adverse to trying a Dahua...

    Field of View from Picture?

    Zxel, thanks for that link, I had been there. Fenderman, I don't have any specific one just yet. I'm just trying to figure out what the FOV would look like from under the eave on the side of the house. With my specific view in the frame. Numbers on a tape don't cut it for me. Just trying to...

    Field of View from Picture?

    We just moved and I'm trying to set up my old cameras in their new locations. I have two placed, at least temporarily, and want to get two more. But I'm unsure of the focal length I need – 2.8 or 4mm. If I climb up the ladder and position my iPhone where I'd like to place the camera, is there...

    Speedtest

    I have Verizon FiOS in the suburban Philadelphia area. We pay $55 for 75/75 Mbps. This is from my back porch using my late 2009 MacBook wirelessly from the Apple Airport Extreme router (about 20' horizontally and 20' vertically away). Granted, it's the middle of the day and usage is probably...

    The "Perfect" Setup

    Thanks for all the input. Capturing tags is not really a priority, and in fact the street traffic was just "bonus" material. My concern is my property (with two young sons sowing their oats, and my occupation) so I'm torn between the 3MP with no remote retrieval and the 2MP with remote...

    The "Perfect" Setup

    I have two Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I bullets pushing video to a Synology DS213j using Synology's Surveillance Station (although I tried Security Spy and Sighthound on my iMac - which is another post). Although underpowered (should have done more research), the Synology's only purpose is for cameras...

    DS-2CD2032-I Nighttime View

    If that's true (and I just set it up to test for tonight and tomorrow) I owe you a beer! I was thinking to myself that two "profiles" would be great. I just couldn't figure out to override the hour settings I saw in the top of the tab.

    DS-2CD2032-I Nighttime View

    Settings screenshot above. Digital noise reduction was already at 100. I had WDR enable (for daytime shadow highlights) and set to 30. Sharpness was set to 30. I'll turn WDR off - I guess I can manipulate the shadows with image editing software if necessary. I'll turn sharpness to 0 - just...

    DS-2CD2032-I Nighttime View

    Sorry, here's screenshot of the settings: - - - Updated - - - And here's the daytime shot with early morning sun coming up. It's pointed in roughly a WSW direction.

    DS-2CD2032-I Nighttime View

    Just set up two 2032's on at my house. Still experimenting with all the settings, and trying to figure out if this is the best I can do at night (love the daytime views): Here are my settings at this point: Stream Type Main Stream(Normal) Sub Stream...
