    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    There is more than 1 reason why you can stutter as well. It can be the video bit rate if too high for the device it's being written to. It can be the shutter speed if too fast with movement (unlikely here with 1/60th) as moving objects can move a visible distance between frames. It could be the...

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    Thanks for the settings. They explain a lot about the picture. Although you seem to be getting away with a good picture at night, generally the recommendation is not to exceed 50 on gain (gain increases noise). This may explain the presence of aretfacts in the night time picture which make it...

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

    Whats the full colour performance like at night? Do you have a 4kt to compare it to? The one thing I really like about these cameras is the depth of field. The 4Kt appears as if it lowers the bit rate away from the focal point. It looks to me almost as if it's like the trick now used by some...

    8-9ms inference speeds with OpenVino on a cpu 7th gen!!

    Suggest it to the Code Project Developers. At the very least they can take a look at how it's functioning.

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    What are the gain and shutter set at to achieve that brightness? It looks to me as though gain maybe high and shutter quite slow as there's a bit of a blur to the picture on movement and the image has visible artefacts especially under movement (not saying they're bad but they're there).

    Dahua NA is no more

    Wonder if they'll be rebadged Dahua cameras built outside China or if this is simply a sale of goodwill / sales outlets with Luminys producing their own camera models. Also wonder how pricing will be afffected for the US. WIll this become a premium brand due to the extra costs of the rules?

    New BI User, call me Overwhelmed

    Unfortunately the guy who produces BI is a one man band. I agree it can be hard with so many settings especially if you've never set up any cameras before and have little or no networking experience. What it really wants is a manual with every UI page in BI exploded with numbered descriptions of...

    Can you only draw a single straight line? In Dahua you can draw zig zags (you have to do it continuously though) . For most in Dahua 1 to 2 rules is all thats needed because you can draw a lot of lines with zig zagging in 1 go.

    Are you using H265? That might be the source of the tearing. I've seen it happen with h265 before.

    Northern Lights

    Reportedly went as South as California in the great Chapman storm of 1859. I believe more storms are forecast to come this year. I got a few great photos from a location in the UK although some people with proper cameras in the newspapers got some amazing pics:

    Man With Mask / RFID Cloning?

    It's hard to tell. I understand it's a dedicated scanning device. I wasn't aware it cna be done on a mobile phone, although I'm not saying it can't. I do think masks should be banned in public though unless under a pandemic direction. If nothing else, anyone untoward would get picked up simply...

    How many vehicles just don't have plates?

    The US needs to update how it levies Tax. 1/2 the issue seems of missing plates to be because your plates are an indicator of whether you paid road tax or not and so changed / removed constantly. In the UK plates are for identification purposes only and never expire or are remove from the...

    How many vehicles just don't have plates?

    US PD letting you down. Over here, this is practically impossible (cloned plates another matter) but in the UK you wouldn't get far without getting pulled for no plate, partially because the PD are very vigillent and partially because there are hundreds of cameras covering the roads. Over here...

    Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?

    Yes. My electrician used some on my bathroom lighting. They're becoming pretty standard over here I think albeit slowly. I've bought some myself and whilst not used in anything, I have tried clamping and unclamping some wires in them and they seem pretty solid. Usually EU electrical standards...

    Image flickering when WDR is turned on

    Gain is now too high at 80. You should never exceed 50. You will get lots of noise and probably ghosting. If you're needing WDR + Gain at 80 to get an acceptable picture then your camera is in all probability a model that's on a small sensor and poor at night vision. If this is in B&W and not...

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    I have 2 in the car and 1 in the house (double glazing near impossible to break without). I had always intended to buy one but when I needed to spend more on Amazon without Prime for postage, I made the difference up to get free postage with these. I have 2 of the liife hammer type - 1in the...

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    Pity no-one had a fire extinguisher in their car. Probably wouldn't have put the fire out, but might have helped reduce the intensity during the rescue.

    Malware in EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T webplugin.exe

    I used the plugin as I couldn't see the cameras in the web browser. Had no issues although I uninstalled the installer plugin immediately after installation. I scan malware & virus free over multiple apps so I wouldn't worry too much provided you get it from the official source. The most likely...

    Interesting AI software - CSi Style Face Recovery Possible?

    Not a recommendation but I found some interesting software via a video on Youtube that might be good for our purposes. Whilst it has a video version, which I find less impressive, the stills version appears very impressive at face recovery form even dark and pixellated images. I have to wonder...

    Malware in EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T webplugin.exe

    As said in one of the earlier threads, if you're worried submit the installer to one of the reputable AV companies for analysis. Tell them in the narrative that you believe it downloads malware so they don't just check the installer alone. I'm sure it will probably come back as a false positive...

    Residential cameras for exterior- bullet vs turret

    The wiring tails for these cameras are very large and I struggled even to get them into a junction box. I'd hate to think of trying to do it without. I'd suggest mounting it onto a junction box for that reason. It doesn't add much to the camera visibly but will make your life a lot easier. Also...

    Arjun, where are ya?

    Something you never think about normally, but I wonder if they put an earth quake proof base on the SOL? Would make a real mess if it fell plus be a really bad symbol for the US. I'd also hate to think about the repairs / scrapage of the SOL given the height the top would fall as it's one of...

    Burglars run after getting fright on their life

    Just a couple of comments on re-visiting this thread: 1. Re_Watching the original video, the audio warning took far too long to activate. A lot of theives would have broken a window and been in the car before the warning activated. 2. I wish Dahua put speakers in all their cameras. Either...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    Sorry I won't touch it atm until I get some backup software for my BI PC. Everytime I've upgraded BI or CPAI and there's been an issue (which has been quite a few times), I've been forced to re-install the entire pc including Windows. Too much of a pain and hassle to risk having to do that. It...

    Camera Water Issue

    Condensation comes down to dew point which is beyond anyone's control. Basically there is a temperature humidity combination at which point moisture stored in the air condenses out onto surfaces. This is the dew point. If you look at your local weather forecast, it probably states the dew point...

    Camera Water Issue

    Dahua should look at putting in EDPM seals instead of rubber which is what I presume they're using. Unlike rubber it doesn't deteriorate. My Pond liner went in my pond 40 years ago and is still going strong despite 40 years of sunlight, water, temperature changes etc. Many plumbing seals are now...

    CodeProject.AI Version 2.0

    I abandoned Coral for CPU processing sometime ago. It just sits in my machine although I may revert later if it proves worthy. I very much get the impression from the varied results that this is something to do with the installation rather than the device. Some users have reported less than...

    The Power of Bitcoin

    Seems a bit too precisely written. Very AI like. Must admit BC scares me too much to invest (not that I can really). Not the volatility so much as the risk of losing everything if your password doesn't work, drive corrupts or fails etc. With banks etc, at least you can recover a lost password...
