Q's Cheap Camera Shootout

[klasipca]

I ran with "Get events with PullPointSubscription" enabled on my three (3) Longse cameras for approximately 4 weeks and I did not experience unintended reboots. In addition, as I remember, only two (2) persons claimed they were having Longse unintended reboot issues; they had reported that they had disabled PullPointSubscription but they have not reported that the disabling PullPointSubscription had conclusively eliminated the issue. Furthermore, and again as I remember, one of those two persons also stated that -- in addition to disabling PullPointSubscription -- he had also changed the BI Video > Configure > "Make" to "Longse" and the "Model" to "RTSP." And I believe it is reasonable to argue that two persons does not make a credible sample size Klasipca, especially when one of those persons has made additional configuration changes. As I wrote previously, disabling PullPointSubscription MAY resolve the issue, but it's too early in the game make conclusive statements.

Ok, so then can you try selecting Generic as well as enabling PPS?

I have three LOngse cameras running here. How many shall I configure in this manner?

I think those 3 Longse would be sufficient at least to get some idea.

How do you take this nice screen shots? from within the cam or with a software.
My pictures don't come as clear as the camera.Hmmm

That indoor snapshot with the lights on was taken using a screenshot from BI. This night time capture was taken while the camera was running on a Anker battery and using a portable mini router so I could take it out on my deck without stringing cables. The snapshot was done with TinyCam Pro installed on my Samsung tablet.

Try applying a touch of Configuration > Image > Image Enhancement > Sensor Linear WDR Lare

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Do you have your 'Sensor Linear WDR' set to "automatic"? There's also "Shutdown, Weak, Moderate, Strong & Super". The default setting was "Shutdown".

 

[Q™]

I believe that Shutdown = Off. Try each to see if the bring out deeper clarity.

Has anyone noticed a slight purplish tint in the corners with the BeSafe camera? It's not a big deal but wondered if others have the same thing.

Yes, I noticed it on mine.

 

[patrocle]

One camera works fine,but the other not really
It has a shadow image following

Also i did find all image fuzzy,and had to modify outdoor, moderate settings,for it to go back to normal.

My scene is back lit most of the day. I tried auto, but it wasn't doing the job. I settled on "medium".


Edit: should read "moderate" (thanks patrocle)

You mean "Moderate"?

The time at top goes back and forward... People ruining back and forward.



I used this type of cable for this cam:
Shireen DC-1021 Outdoor CAT5e FTP - Shielded
https://www.amazon.com/Shireen-DC-1...e=UTF8&qid=1474774358&sr=8-1&keywords=shireen
(first time using this type of cable for this cam only)
The other camera (same brand and model) is on the regular junkie cat5e cable and it does not do this.
I have changed ports on my tp-link 8 port poe+ and still same problem, will have to take the camera down to test with other cable or maybe could be other things in settings or something...

I highly doubt it is the cable @partrocle. Try adjusting your Configuration > Video > Iframe Interval to "1"

 

[Q™]

Also, is your BI > Camera Properties > Video > Configure > Receive Buffer (MB): set to to "20"? If no, change it to 20.

Yes, cable should not be the problem,that a really good one!

Well i think
It was at Configuration > Video > Iframe Interval to "1".
I did raised up the Frame Rate from 10 to 15 and the camera is working normal for the paste few hours.

Also, is your BI > Camera Properties > Video > Configure > Receive Buffer (MB): set to to "20"? If no, change it to 20.

My setting was a 3.0mb, i have change it to 20mb in BI.

Do all cameras suppose to be at 20 mb? as i have other at 3mb,15mb,etc...(In BI)

Thank you.

Yes.

What you guys think about the round reflection:

Cam1

Cam2

Could be from the street light poll? reflecting into the ir leds?

I had that with the domes mounted under eaves. Looks like the IRs are behind glass on this one as well which might be causing this, try pointing it down a bit more

 

[patrocle]

Hmm, went out and moved the camera away from any white stuff,lights,etc...no luck.
Then i clean the front lens with a soft cloth and they are gone! Maybe it was from the front protection plastic over the lent's.

First cam it looks that now it works worst than before , is darker! and i try the settings all,but thats the best i can do...maybe the right side white wall may do that?! Wow what a...pain in the b...

This looks ok,but the light cross the street from the neighbor kind in the way...

Try a LITTLE bit of WDR to clean up he wheelbarrow picture.
