How does this set up compare to a IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E at 200ft? I may be mistaken but I recall someone said that 200ft is pushing it for the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E whereas this set up seems to be doing quite well.

Welcome

Solid and detailed review. Much appreciated.

Main stream is the primary video feed from the camera. Think high resolution. Sub streams are lower quality streams often used for monitoring or situations where a full quality stream is not needed.

+1 on the SD1A203T-GN PTZ recommendation.

Welcome! So much information available it may be overwhelming to digest but do your best to narrow down what you're looking for and then flip through the reviews for the specific cameras.

BI has a 15 day trial I highly recommend using. Try it side by side with any alternative option to see what you like best. If you want lots of options and flexibility that you can tweak and refine you will most likely love BI and buy it long before the 15 day trial is up.

Worth checking out IPC-HDW5442T-ZE

This made me laugh. You have a way with words.

It's bad enough crashing your bike. Crashing in front of someone's house where you are recorded on multiple HD cameras is even worse. I feel for her.

Varifocal may be your best bet, that way you can play around with it and dial it in exactly to your liking. A bit more money of course but can come in handy testing focal lengths for other future cameras. IPC-T5442T-ZE is worth looking at.

That got a chuckle out of me. The article says 670 nanometers red light. Very interesting. I'm even happier now that I spent so much time in the photography dark room with the red lights.

It was a politician with zero real world knowledge no doubt. We also had a series of plates that would completely de-laminate and peel off. We also have to deal with snow covered plates.

I was all set on adding an LPR to my set up but I'm wondering how difficult it is with the new Ontario License Plates popping up. For anyone outside of Ontario that is curious, the new plates are not raised lettering or highly reflective like most plates are. There has been a lot of media...

Hope you get the footage you are looking for. Regardless this sounds like a great time to work out some bugs in your system and get things running better.

try 192.168.0.2

You checked the video tab in the cameras settings inside BI? Where it is greened out in this screenshot.

Default is 192.168.1.108

Yes. Camera IP

Just the IP address...

The IP address that BI connects to does not load the camera interface when you type it into the browser URL field? Make sure you don't search for it on bing.

Comparing lux ratings isn't always apples to apples and should be taken with a grain of salt but it should give you a rough idea.

Maybe a small metal cage at the bottom that screws on so they can't take the bulbs?

Have you tried connecting to the camera directly using a computer on the same network? 192.168.1.108 is the default IP and you can use a web browser. There is a playback tab that allows you to access the recordings on the SD card. The camera can be configured to either continuously record or...

Message him. He will tell you. He may have them already and just needs to update. Who knows.

IPC-T2231T-ZS is a 2MP verifocal worth checking out. It's good to have one verifocal on hand to use in real world testing to determine optimal focal lengths for future cameras.

wow. Very well done. What grade is this? For sure a huge step up from my days of making projects on bristle board.

Welcome Ryan, You are on the right track with optical zoom being important for license plates recognition (LPR). There is a section in Hardware - IP Cameras - LPR where they are discussed. IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E is a popular choice for LPR with it's 12x optical zoom.

Looks pretty good. Are you getting good PPF in all the areas that you need it? 10 feet is pretty high for recognizing faces. Make sure you do some testing before final installation. Dropping them to 8 feet or lower is ideal. Do you have decent lighting near the 2341?

I usually ditch the included hardware in favor of anchors or toggles. They might be overkill but I have plenty on hand and they are much stronger.
