    IR halo ring issue in a IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2.

    Yeah, I figured it was the inside by that faint halo. Quality control issue that wasn't caught.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Probably not. It's not like those lights are very bright to begin with. I would think one would struggle to read a book under those lights alone so the camera would also struggle to get any useable light out of them. But it's probably worth a try since they are cheap and easy to setup and...

    You will love that 5A4M. It is a monster though.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    The goal is to recognize the type of vehicle and COLOR and observe people passing through. I totally forgot about the new PTZ I purchased from Andy, it will be behind this camera, 5 - 6 feet higher and running IR and auto tracking No, I actually saw this. But identifying the make of a car at a...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    If thats the case, then this isn't the right camera for this location. Sounds like you need a camera that emits IR. The 4K-T/X are great cameras for low light but they do need some light to function. Having to run it at 1/30 is too large a sacrifice. You won't be able to identify anyone in...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Yes. See here for close focus distance: EmpireTech 8MP 1/1.2" CMOS Full-color Fixed-focal Warm LED Turret Security Camera IPC-Color4K-T It’s ~20’ for the 3.6mm.

    Yeah. I guess I’m confused there since it says “sub stream”. It appears it’s still using the main channel stream for the alert picture. Edit: Your recent post does clear it up.

    IR halo ring issue in a IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2.

    I’m talking about inside. You have to take it apart to clean that.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Nope. These cameras arent for residential use with their dismal close focus distance requirements.

    Nothing inside the lens? No spots or dust?

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Adjust your color/sat levels if you need to remove some color out. I run the 3.6mm 4K-X variant for overview of my business parking lot. It’s awesome as far as light collecting ability goes but I also have it mounted 30 feet in the air so there are no soft/unfocused spots at that distance.

    So just upgraded to 5.9.9.37 and now hi res .jpeg option is gone from the alert tab. Anyone else seeing this? Will this cause pushover to only get the low quality .jpeg alert. Edit: Well just tested and still got the hi-def alert .jpeg from my main stream so I dunno.

    Suggested form factor/camera for indoor PoE cameras?

    Inside a house, domes would be fine. No bugs/dust/UV to damage and distort the dome covering.

    Password is wrong and GetEvents error?

    Get Events errors have always been solved by turning off ONVIF Authentication in the camera GUI as @wittaj suggested. I now have it turned off on all my Dahua cameras. But it's definitely odd you can't add the camera to BI now that it has been removed.
