Sensor size still the king for low light ?
The 1/1.2" sensors currently out there can run 4-6ms in very low light (they strill need some light though and a reinforcement light might be worth using to achieve a good picture once the camera has triggered). Whilst there may have been some advancement in sensivity of coatings, easly...- CCTVCam

Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?
It sounds to me like they've bypassed the security using a vulnerability & given themselves root, which then opens them up to do anything or put anything on there. eg give themsleves admin, create accounts or put trojans / other software on there etc. I'm no expert, but probably the way forward... -
Interesting Youtube Post - End of PC's?
Prices have dropped back already albeit only by a small amount. Depends on the kit but large increases. I'm sure I saw a kit somewhere approaching 500% increase but maybe someone was price gouging. Some larger kits in the UK now over £1k!!! These are the results for 64Mb from a well, known... -

US Restrictions for you guys. Also, Memory prices gone up around 500% thanks to AI demand so both memory & storage v. expensive now. As per the video in the 1st post, this was an earlier one: Whilst I can't comment on the content, Steve is highly respected in the review industry: -
Buyer Beware: Fake Optical Zoom Modules
In fairness to the camera, that's not too bad a picture in daytime from that shot. Hard to tell sharpness from the balcony railings alone as it's likely focused further out in that shot anyway. Whether with someone in the foreground, movement or at night it's as good is another matter. But if...- CCTVCam

Adult snapping turtle captured on Blue Iris by Reolink doorbell
Shows how far doorbells need to go in quality. Not great! Interesting how it ran nose down as if it were plowing the ground. Some issue with it's front legs?- CCTVCam

Interesting Youtube Post - End of PC's?
Yoiutube post from Gamers Nexus Steve. Whilst probably concerning Gaming more than anything, it nevertheless has implications for the existence of PC's and therefore by extension the ability to run IP CCTV: -
Moving BIv6 to new Win 11 PC
I tried H265 and it looked great until one day I walked close to the camera, where it promptly stuttered all over with macro blocks as the encoding couldn't keep up/ didn't like the rapid motion, After that, I reverted to h264 and not had a sinle encoding issue since. Before someone says I was... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The 4kt in terms of size is still small. Many phones and action and drone cameras are on 1 inch sensors which whilst only slightly larger than 1/1.2" seems to give gains. Even then the best cameras are on 35mm given even sensors larger than 1" don't seem to come close to the best 35mm... -
Clear voice intelligibility in noisy gym reception – 8MP turret IP camera with best built-in microphone?
Yeah you have to consider picture quality as well. In a well lit area in the day it should be fine. At night it could be another matter unless lighting is either present or set to come on if a break in / person is detected. If relying on ambient or low level lighting, the night image could be a...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Said it before, the only thing that will change any of this is a tranisition to larger sensors. No matter what you do, to quote Startrek "You canny beat the Laws of Physics". Larger Pixels = more light captured period = brighter image = faster shutter speed / lower gain possible. If it was any... -
B54PRO-Z4E first impression
I agree. It shouldn't be a case of don't buy. If it meets your needs fine, buy it. It just doesn't replace the current best which is the 5442. Everything has it's place. -
Crazy Shooting - Neighbors house hit
It's become a cult thing in the UK atm thanks to a guy who went with one in Ibiza, and Gen Z thought he looked liked the final boss in a video game. He's made a fortune out of it from no-where and is now a cult figure named the Ibiza Final Boss...- CCTVCam
