    Memorial Day 2022 Promotion

    Thanks for all you do to support the community! I've been loving my TiOC 1.0 camera! I will be looking to order 2x IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV 3.6mm or 2x IPC-HFW3449T1-AS-PV 3.6mm. What's the best way I should order for Canada?

    I'm totally with you on the colour.... I'd be happy with white, black or silver.

    IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED Latest New Firmware

    Thank you Andy! Will this work for a IPC-HDW3549H-AS-PV? E.g. DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.10.R.210930 and use the largest file "DH_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.10.R.210930.bin" from inside the .zip via the camera's web interface? Is there...

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I got a 1.0 from someone I know coming for 110$ CAD. For that price, I'll start with the V1.0 and pick up the Full Color 2.0 or TIOC 2.0 when those come down in price. I'm biased towards "value" vs latest and greatest.

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I had a neighbor's lawnmower take out a window on one of my vehicles over the weekend too (threw a rock while pushing it across the driveway). The 1080p camera still was able to figure out what happened. The 5MP would have done nicely in this scenario.

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    As an update, I'm picking up a IPC-HDW3549H-AS-PV. If the image is too dark with the 5MP, I have a well lit area I can move it to.

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    100% on that advice for IDing people in any other circumstance. My requirement isn't to identify (thus why I'm looking for overview cameras). Small crimes are not charged in my city anymore. Deterrence is the only option / footage for providing to insurance proving what happened.

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Hahaha Even worse, imagine if all the Ring doorbells had an alarm! I would set the TIOC to a voice clip. That's the audio level I'm looking for. I either make this system dependent on Frigate and Home Assistant (two points of failure) or have one device that does everything all in one (but...

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I was hoping to have it only on a schedule say after 10PM and have it only alarm if it detected loitering vs just a guest passing through. You're totally right it wont prevent something serious, but it may be enough to give a teenager second thoughts about looking for open car doors. I've never...

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Thanks for those clips! Those are super helpful vs the ones I've seen on YouTube. You summarized it perfectly - a good low light overview camera is what's needed. I'm biased by my large sensor, low MP IR overview cameras in an area with good street lighting. You've made me pause more and think...

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Hi everyone, I'm a longtime reader of the forum and figured that I should finally create an account and ask for advice. Thanks for all the help over the years with your posts! I'm currently shopping for some outdoor PoE camera upgrades. I'm replacing some 7 year old Jooan (made by Dahua IIRC)...
