    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Hey, if you're not intelligent enough to listen to scientists instead of youtube experts, hope you're not going to complain when you either die or require advanced healthcare... or someone you love gets covid. Maybe it's an American thing? I haven't seen a lot of intelligence out there....

    Need to cover dome camera

    Sounds like it’s time to cut your losses and give up. Not every job is worth it. :/

    Dahua Starlight WIDER than 2.8mm

    Thank you :-) I largely see domes which I was hoping to steer away from, but this one looks interesting... 4x2MP IR 180° Multi-sensor Panoramic Network Dome Of course for the price it might just be better to run in another cat5 and place another 2.8mm ;-) Cheers

    Dahua Starlight WIDER than 2.8mm

    Hello all, I've just purchased another IPC-T2431T-AS 2.8MM from Andy, great little cameras. Is anyone aware of any models that are turret style but wider angle than 2.8mm, I have a corner in mind and it would be good to get a wider shot if I can. Thanks! D

    2 locations possible for driveway cam - what do you think?

    Thank you, I;ve read the cliff notes previously. Just wanted another opinion I guess. The building labelled 12 is another house - not mine - the only options I have are within my property which is basically the two I proposed. Appreciate the help, I'll keep thinking about it. Cheers D

    2 locations possible for driveway cam - what do you think?

    Thanks for the reply. The garage cam is the "Proposed 2" mark. Up to about 13 metres from the camera. The "Proposed 1" is the green area on the top of my house. Up to about 19 Metres from the camera. In the second pic the red zone is the area where I would be wanting to cover. I guess I am just...

    2 locations possible for driveway cam - what do you think?

    Hello, I have a turret covering my driveway providing a wide view of my property which does a great job. However, I would like to have something with a tighter field of view to cover the approach. I could mount something with a longer lens up on the green part of my house which would pick up...

    Considering adding a vari-focal camera to my setup - your help appreciated!

    thanks, I have no way to get out & get dielectric grease for a couple weeks yet (mandatory lockdown here) but I will do so. Do you think the 2MP camera would be adequate resolution or should I go for the 4MP bullet? Many thanks

    Considering adding a vari-focal camera to my setup - your help appreciated!

    Thank you! I was more interested in spending a few hundred rather than nearer 2k :-) I see Andy has a 2MP turret IPC-T2231T-ZS - despite my other cameras being 4MP am I correct that the tighter focal length would probably result in a decent picture? Regarding the connection,,,, point taken! I...

    Considering adding a vari-focal camera to my setup - your help appreciated!

    Hello all, I have a 2.8mm IPC-T2431T-AS 4MP Starlight turret I got from Andy that is covering my gate which is doing a great job - for close up such as my garage and car. Night vision isn't too bad either. But, detail such as faces or licence plates of approaching cars is of course too soft. I...
