    Questions About Continuous Recording

    I find all the different USB flavors confusing. 2 3 3.1 4 Gen1 Gen2 I currently have seven cameras going continuous capture to a USB 3.1 Gen2 raid. About two years ago I had around fourteen to sixteen cameras all going continuous capture to that raid. Even while playing back video with all those...

    When you have more money than you do common sense.....

    When talking to a sales person type, I first ask question or two that I already know the answer. If they answer incorrectly, I thank them and move on. If they answer correctly, then I ask the real question(s).

    Hidden in plain sight

    And for when you want fully functional camera hidden, yet is not an option. 1-1/2 feet of scrape ethernet cable siliconed to hole in wall and other cable end stuck in camera base cutout When silicone drys cut cable in half. While real cable goes straight thru wall to switch.

    And so I bought my low voltage company that has been dismissive of any online presence along with today's technology. Email? Webpage? Techy stuff?

    To avoid potential problems and uncontrollable cost increases in the future it is critical that you own the domain name you use. sierratelephonesystems.com and datatechcomm.com appear to be owned by different entities. You can look them up at ICANN Lookup sierratelephonesystems.com Is...

    Hey Did You Steal That?

    Looks like an empty five gallon water bottle. Like bicycles large water bottles are popular with the criminal homeless around here.

    Ordered Sony SNC-VB770 Image Sensor Size 35MM :)

    I have worked with that style of thermostat. It does open and close at a temperature that is set when manufactured. It has an internal concave/convex bi-metal disc meaning two different metals fused together with a slight depression/dome. Uses two different types of metal, that expand/contract...

    5241E-Z12E which setting would you change?

    With the 5241E-Z12E the higher the iris number, the larger the iris opening, the more light you let in. Also with a larger iris number you decrease the depth of field. A strange result I have noticed with the 5241E-Z12E when using a close to maximum setting for iris, the shorter and longer...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    Camara networking issues, packets are not the only thing you can drop. Video from your post #15 reminded me of a problem I had with a HFW5241E-Z12E. Hikvision NVR manual said check this box and you can run ethernet cable to 1000 feet Cool, checked box and roughly 750 feet of UV solid copper cat...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    I also found numerically high iris settings do affect focus oddly with this model camera. I mentioned back in post #9 large iris short and long distance were in focus with mid distance at center of capture out of focus. Large iris reduces depth of field so would expect to lose long or short...

    which setting causes 5241E-Z12E blur with even slow motion?

    Have same model camera. Capturing license plates at about 170-180 feet at about 30 degree angle. I had a problem. Plates would be in focus at right and left edge of view but always out of focus in center of capture. So moving plate would be in focus at shorter and longer distance at each edge of...

    Difficult few days...

    Three very common A/C problems are 1) capacitor - if bulged it is bad can also check with capacitance meter 2) contactor (just fancy name for relay) - check coil where 24 volts goes for continuity and look that contacts are not melted 3) fuses - check continuity also check for tripped...

    I have a network/PoE mystery on my hands

    Just a thought... On the hubs settings screen Status column possible speeds can be 10/100/1000 have you tried manually setting a slower speed? I have had long run that would drop out and others that would make no connection at all, after manually setting slower port speed I would get stable...
