Gotcha, thank you. Looks awesome!Not great for direct comparison since the setting is so much different, but this is my best color cam with cam and lighting optimized about as good as I can get it. Very good I think for color at night and I like it a lot better than B&W for capturing wildlife as it's intended, but not as clear as the other I don't think. Even considering the above is 4MB on a 1.8 sensor and this one is 4K on 1.2. But both have their place.

nevermind I see Andy has a color PTZ for not much more, $100 more. Would you get the 4MP 1/1.8" IR version or the 8MP 1/1.8" Color version?
Shoot, looks like the 4mp 1/1.8" PTZ is out of stock with Andy. There will be a big difference between this and the 4mp 1/2.8" correct? Its almost twice the price - assuming its worth it on the nighttime stuff right?The 4MP version.
Amazon says delivery by Nov 1. I guess I will order it so I have one point of support if I need it.The difference is worth it if you don't have the light. He will get soon.
top was 1/2.8" IR and botth is 1/1.2" ColorI assume the top camera was one of the old 1/3 sensor models and the bottom is a Color 4T?
Yeap I've got to play with it a little. I havent done anything but mount it and adjust shutter speed, and take a screen shot. I didnt even aim it. Got my hands full setting up entire new network with firewall, managed 52 port PoE switch, etc. Been a long time since i've messed with any of that so its slow go. Took me like four hours to figure out how to set up a VLAN with the firewall and switch and get the blue iris machine and cameras isolated and communicating. Then the cameras come with a preprogramed static IP I guess? That took another few hours for me to realize why camera was pluged into vlan ports but getting ip out of range. Had to set up an entire other network to get into the camera to change the IP address. LOL.Probably could take it a little faster too. Maybe take it up a bit if you can to get some of that bright plant out of the foreground more and turned a little more to the right to get the white thing at left out and see more of the driveway/walk/whatever that is.
Yeah I was thinking of doing that exact thing. I did set it to manual, and adjusted shutter only. I will work through your step by step for dialing in a camera. I'm sure it will get better, but I was floored how bright / clear it was in color with 1/100 shutter.What is gain set to? Make sure you are on manual that lets you adjust shutter and gain.
And maybe send these pics to the installer and ask them again for a refund for selling you crappy cameras at a higher price than better cameras LOL
I did that, but I must be looking for the clips in the wrong place. If i say "all files" there are only three or four clips. If I choose "alerts" there are a bunch from when cameras were set to just motion. But none come through once I change like you said to onvif. I must have something wrong in the cameras I will check tomorrow. thanks again.IVS will help eliminate most falses. Pretty easy:
Usually want to turn off Motion sensor on that same tab but you can run both if you want.
- Under Video > Configure > check Get ONVIF trigger events.
- Under Trigger, check ONVIF/camera/events.
