Hey all J from Pearland Texas! New user here, and glad to be aboard! I'm a member of other forums, and love the knowledge there is to be gained!
I've been reading through the wiki, and VPN primer, thanks to all who have donated their time!
I am running an I7-4700 dell optiplex, with 6 amcrest cameras that were recommended by a friend. 2 are 8mp bullets, placed in the front of the house, a turret over the rear entry, and 3 bullets around various spots around the perimeter of my home.
The cameras are ok, but on my older Toshiba TV that I am Currently displaying on they appear fairly granular when zoomed in and I can't even make out the license plate across the street.
Is this a monitor issue, or a camera issue?
Seems. More than a monitor issue since my phone is slightly better, but I still can't make up the plate across the street, which is less than 100 ft away if I had to guess.
I live in a nice subdivision with decent lighting in the front of the home...
I have seen all the recommendations of the dahua Starlight, and the video they take, and am wondering if I went the wrong direction with the amcrest.. I bought my. Current cams off of Amazon, so still have a return window.
What particular model is the best now a days? Is there a link to a particular recent thread I can check out?
Also my wife is very particular to the color black, and I also like the black cameras. Do the dahua come in black?
Thanks in advance!
