    Missing footage

    I recently changed one of my cameras to a IPC-T5442T-ZE and every minute or so Blue Iris time will freeze and footage will not record (for 15 seconds or so and then the video feed either goes to No Signal or the time catches up with the feed) even though through the browser interface I see the...

    WTT IPC-HFW5231E-Z5E

    Let me know if you'd trade for a PTZ SD1A404XB-GNR 4M 4x Starlight IR PTZ (also like new).

    Alert Side Frame

    Brilliant - that did it! Thank you! Let me know if anyone is aware of a way to change the navigation buttons (size increase)? The 'skip to next alert' buttons are too small and I constantly have to re-center - I can't be the only one??!!

    Alert Side Frame

    I apologize if this has been asked/answered before (I did look), but is there anyway to move the alert (side frame) to the right-hand side (from the left - similiar to how it was set up in BIv4)? Also, is there a setting to increase the size of the navigation buttons? Thanks for any help with...

    House Camera Setup and LPR Advice

    You have the best vantage point but I agree I would (guess based on photos) likely move camera to capture more in this area (see black rectangle).

    House Camera Setup and LPR Advice

    Also, From the KIA screenshot to the UPS truck it appears you zoomed in (which is great) with that said as you zoom in the field of view shifts down and a manual adjustment upwards may be warranted.

    House Camera Setup and LPR Advice

    I'd personally paint the mount, and bottom/top plastic covers on camera - obviously there are reasons not to...also likely better to extended visor and I could be seeing things but is the protective lens clear sticker still on the camera?

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    I received the IPC-T5442TM-AS this morning, and I found that the shell is the same as the IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE - I didn't even bother swapping out the old base from the mount. Also, I didn't open it up but it appears to be a m16 lens (vs. the standard m12). I guess the m12 lens is becoming obsolete!

    IPC-MBW4231-AS

    I assume by mobile this is a dashcam (I believe this is obvious but....)? Has anyone purchased this unit? any thoughts on the dahua dashcam? a little high for a dashcam but might be worth the cost...

    Varifocal Lens Change

    Yes, I just matched the same order as the lens it replaced. Be careful to remove the ends without damaging.

    Varifocal Lens Change

    I recorded some low light video in the same setting (as the daytime footage) - time stamp is correct. I didn't realize I didn't capture my 'camera device' clicks when I clicked on the Camera button in SmartPSS, so the different settings in the order of the video are: 1) SmartIR (on) 2) Manual...

    Varifocal Lens Change

    Huh, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you. I didn't really test it much in low light conditions - I thought I would get the same results as 5mp sensor. I'll post some footage later this evening....

    Varifocal Lens Change

    I am not am expert....at all...with that said, my understanding is regardless of the distance (in low light) 5mp would be equally as bad, although perhaps someone can correct and enlighten:) And yes the lens work with IR.

    Yes, either of the above would work. If you type in 'm14 lens' Yumiki is one of three but the direct link is: US $20.99 |HD 2.0megapixel auto iris 6 22mm M14 motorized CCTV lens,F1.6, ICR, Auto Zoom, Auto Focus, Auto IrisHorizontal Field 43. 16.5D-in CCTV Parts from Security & Protection on...

    Varifocal Lens Change

    I wanted to see if I could swap out a 6-22mm 2mp varifocal motorized lens for the the 2.7-13.5mm stock lens in a HDW2231R-ZS 2mp...and I would have but the good folks at Yumiki 2019 Store from aliexpress.com decided that I should have a 6-22mm 5mp lens instead:( Not cool but I still wanted to...

    (8MP) IPC-HFW1831E Review

    I finally opened this up and I believe this is an M16 lens vs. a standard M12. I don't see anything other than a 4mm/6mm on aliexpress for this lens size. Edmunds appears to have a 25mm for $80 - but I'm not sure if it supports color or IR.

    Hikvision 2042 IR 4mm vs 2032F IR 12mm

    If memory serves, the 2042 and 2032 (not the 2032f) share the same body - and I believe it uses the same old 4 wire configuration, whether or not the IR board exactly fits I don't know/recall.

    Ghost Car LPR

    I believe it would translate to a 0 to 12 gain - but again I would just do 0 to 0 to start out (again for day settings only) and as your environment dictates it begin to increase it.

    Ghost Car LPR

    I would turn off noise reduction, WDR and Gain (at least as a starting point & especially during the day) and turn up frame rate to 20. What are you're other settings i.e. shutter speed? This hyperlink should also help: Camera Configuration — openalpr 2.5.103 documentation

    Dahua N44BB33 - Dead or Alive??

    As an occasional hobby I'll purchase a used camera 'for parts' when it seems like a good deal and when I believe I can rehab it (and give it to family member or good friend). Here is an example of when my assessment was way off (I had cleaned the lens and the glass when this photo was snapped)...

    Dahua DH-SD6CA230TN-HNI / 6C430UNI PTZ cameras

    I went ahead I swapped the lenses (I was never able to fix the 2mp board - see above) and believe I answered or confirmed my above assumption - disregard the time stamps (both snapshots are taken about 8:45pm - tonight for the 2mp and last night with the 4mp with default/auto settings on each)...

    Dahua DH-SD6CA230TN-HNI / 6C430UNI PTZ cameras

    Quick question regarding these two PTZ cameras - which is the better sensor in a low light environment? I would assume the SD6CA230TN-HNI with its Exmor CMOS 1/2.8" sensor - but I don't know anything about (evolving) sensor technologies. The 6C430UNI has a 1/3" Progressive Scan CMOS sensor...

    Dahua DH-SD6CA230TN-HNI / 6C430UNI PTZ cameras

    Question: are Dahua hardware schematics published? If so where can they be found - namely I'm looking for x voltage reading for a given path. Also, if any of you have any issues with any Dahua PTZ cameras (i.e. no power, no network) you may want to look at the slip ring wiring component - on...

    Change a Hikvision lens from 2.8mm to 4mm or 6mm?

    I have ordered at least a dozen lenses from Ali and all orders were fulfilled -- as long as the lens was at least 5MP (generally I used them for 3MP cameras) I had really solid results. I ordered from the following: 4K Productions Store Excelax Technology Ale YISHUN Electronic CO.,Ltd...
