    Thank you, I was afraid of that.

    Which surveillance cameras feature a Sony IMX585 CMOS?

    I am trying to find out if there any survillance cameras that have a Sony IMX585 CMOS. I did a search, and found some older posts and threads, but there was nothing definitive…

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    If I take a wave over the bow, big enough to strike the camera mounted on my hardtop, I will have much bigger problems to worry about :D Joking aside, you make completely valid points. For me, this is more or less an experiment and I am willing to take the chance.

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    Yes, specifically for use on a boat, in low light conditions. You're correct that blur isn't as much of a concern for my application, since I am not trying to get super high detail out of the image, it just has to be good enough to spot objects in the water (for. ex lobster pot markers, mooring...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    I got my hands on one of those Color4K Dahua cameras, and I am looking for some input on what settings to change in order to get the best possible low-light performance in motion. I've been experimenting with some settings on my own for the past few days, but I don't fully understand many of...

    Dahua DMSS HD connectivity issue - looking for a fix or alternative Android app for live view

    I purchased a IPC-Color4K-X and I have it connected to an Android tablet via USB-C to Ethernet adapter. I am trying to use the Dahua DMSS HD app for live view, but the stream does not work when the app is offline, nor does it work when I connect my tablet to Wi-Fi in addition to the Ethernet...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    Thank you for the pictures, it looks like there's almost no ambient light currently, or is there? If there's some moonlight or anything like that, then the 2nd and 3rd picture definitely have me concerned. The last picture looks amazing, but I am wondering how bad would the image get distorted...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    Thermal is quite expensive, FLIR is the only game in town as far as I know, and they are way out of my budget. Spotlights in my opinion are a hazard to navigation as they blind other boaters, there's nothing worse than someone killing your night vision by shining a spotlight your way because...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    Generally speaking, would an 8MP camera with 1/1.2" sensor outperform a 4MP camera with 1/1.8" sensor ? I am not familiar with any of the brands, but I spent some time looking at the Hikivision product line these past few days and I was torn between the DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4MM and the...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    I have a radar and I am very comfortable using it, the camera would be just for added situational awareness and to spot objects that aren't great radar targets...like the guy finishing from a kayak in the middle of the navigational channel without lights on :oops: Spotlights, LED bars, etc, on...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    Interestingly enough, I don't believe that any of the commercial marine cameras can see IR - they are either low-light or thermal. I don't know enough about this topic, so I am not trying to argue, I just think it is important to keep in mind the intended use of the camera and certain level of...

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    The Hikivision model I posted earlier does't have IR, only visible while LEDs and for this application they have to be disabled. I saw a couple of still sample pictures, I can x-post them here, but I am curious how the camera would perform in motion, as still pictures don't tell the full story.

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    This is one of the commercial products which I am considering, but I am curious if a similar performance can be achieved with a low-light security camera instead.

    Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat

    I am looking for a recommendation for a low-light camera to use as an additional navigation aid while underway at night. There are several commercial options for marine low-light (and thermal) cameras, such as Sionyx, Boateye360, Black Oak Marine, and certain FLIR models, however they all cost...

    Looking for help building a home video surveillance system

    Thank you, I had a feeling the Dahua Varifocal Turret would be recommended since it seems to be the camera of choice on this forum. I must say, I really like it's performance based on what I saw in the various threads..I did quite a bit of reading on it. My two concerns are the cost (a bit high...
