    PFA130-E or PFB203W wall mount

    I want to move my turret camera because the current setup is causing problems. The sunshade reflects the IR, which gives less night vision, and the lighting spot does not help (beginner's mistake from a few years ago). I am going to transfer the camera from the canopy to the wall (see photo), so...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Hi, check out this post, maybe that helps: #655 Be sure that working Mode is set to Customized Scene. What model camera do you have? My T54IR-ZE-S3 & B54IR-Z4E-S3 both work fine with the commands. This doesn't create any issue with my exposure, backlight, etc. Here is the...

    Iris Control on Varifocal cameras

    Do you recommend to keep Auto Iris turned on? Or does this introduce blur?

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Yesterday I upgraded my two T5442-ZE cameras to the T54IR-ZE-S3. The new T54IR-ZE-S3 is in a different league, especially at night. During the day I see little improvement. For this comparison I have the new and old cam's at the same settings: Smart IR on, Shutterspeed 8.3ms, Gain 50.

    Review- New Design Tendelux 10 Watt IR illuminator.

    Last week I installed the Tendelux 20 Watt IR illuminator next to my camera on the garage. What a difference. The main reason why I did this is so that the IR illuminator attracts the spiders instead of the camera. I have turned off the IR illuminator on the camera during the day and at night...

    New Setup Thoughts: Blue Iris or NVR

    In my opinion, the app is perfect, super stable & well developed. Chinese manufacturers can still learn something from this. If you have an Ajax alarm, this is the ultimate combination in my opinion. It's a shame that Ajax for external cameras does not indeed support AI. I have Dahua cameras in...

    New Setup Thoughts: Blue Iris or NVR

    I also ultimately chose the NVR option. I have an AJAX NVR that is integrated with the AJAX alarm system, works perfectly! I use Unifi hardware for the network, which is very user-friendly. I set up the network as follows: VLAN 1: main network for all devices VLAN 2: This network is intended for...
