    Do I need a Smart NVR if my cameras already have AI functionality?

    Hi All, I have been installing cameras around my apartment, all of them being 5442. All of them have AI and smart functions and I have them recording smart events to my NFS. I have read here that 24x7 recording is something I should also have, so I am looking at getting a Dahua NVR. My question...

    Help pick camera for facial recognition between 10-20ft

    Ok, so the next question that pops up is, why using auxiliary IR lights? Is it because of the large area?

    This is a great photo. I can zoom in to see the fox's face. I note the 6mm lens.

    What is the distance from the camera to the fox?

    Very helpful. So these total-darkness stills have some ghosting, although you are moving slowly. Do you think that a 2231 would display better under this situation? Or a 5442? These photos are exactly what I am looking for: limited space like yours, full darkness. Thank you so much.

    This is great info! I have read a lot about what you are talking about and I understand the physics. I need to see if i can get my hands on the Dahuas in a reasonable price because my current investigation reveals that i will be paying twice the price i see at EmpireTech's shop to get it :(

    Thank you for your replies. So, can one use IR at night to identify a person reliably? I have read about issue with ghosting, glare, etc. Assuming that all other factors are properly adjusted, is it possible to do that?

    Hi All, I have been reading this forum for months now and I am trying to make some choices concerning several cameras I would need for my apartment, located in a multi-floor building. I want to monitor all exterior (to the flat) spaces. I have read through the wiki, cliff notes and hundreds of...
