    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    It's been set that way for a while. I think the justification was that the camera is following the person, instead of them walking across the FOV, so it lessens the chance of blurring. I just made the iris change after the incident with the kids. Previously it was 10-70. My biggest concerns...

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    Change of gears, for now. Same project, just discussing a different camera. I decided to take a swing at my mini-PTZ settings since I have time before the sale and I haven't committed to a new, better PTZ yet. After last night, and with the added IR from both X3 cams, I am still on the fence...

    What a Difference 10 Years Make in Camera Capability

    I feel the same way. You may have already seen them, but these are captures from 2018 on my analog Lorex MPX system. Placement and IR bounce isn't ideal, but it's all come a long way. And now:

    Camera thinks telephone pole is human

    Could you make any contrast changes? That can help with PTZs.

    Camera thinks telephone pole is human

    My PTZ would always try it's damnedest to track my fire hydrant. It stopped when I changed the FOV. Could you possible black out portions of the the pole, and not the entire thing? Areas where it wouldn't compromise the FOV for actual captures?

    Criminal spy camera inside Logitech mouse

    Marvin Heemeyer spent 18 months up-armoring a Komatsu D355A bulldozer in his garage. Anyone with enough time and desire will get something done, regardless of knowledge or budget. It just depends on how creative they want to be.

    Home Presentation Format... so we can have an efficient discussion about camera placement?

    There was a post in the BI group on FB about this. Someone who knew better than everyone else could not comprehend the point you just made. After reading it again, I'm already starting to get pissed off about it. The starting focal length is the multiplier when talking about zoom. Focal Point...

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    I think that's 8.33/50. I fiddled with it a little more before I called it a night, and it's currently set to 6.33/50. I never went back outside and had hoped someone would walk by with the new settings. After looking at my pictures, I may go back the other way with a higher exp and lower gain.

    Looking for advice on my install locations.

    Well, Andy updated his Refurb list and I grabbed 2 Z4Es to try on the back path. So I got that going for me, hopefully they work out. I messed with the X3 more last night, and I think I have it to a happy place that will be a compliment to a better PTZ. I may still make some adjustments, but at...

    Home Presentation Format... so we can have an efficient discussion about camera placement?

    Here is some something to get us started. Seeing someone is one thing, but identifying someone is another. Below are captures from my 2MP B52IR-X3 that has 3.6mm, 12mm, and 25mm focal lengths. The three lenses in the camera all point at the same spot. In this case, the guy is across the street...

    Did anyone see the DAYTIME FIREBALL??

    I just skimmed my footage. We have had rain on and off and it was cloudy to the south, but I am guessing I wouldn't have seen it anyways.
