    Is there such a thing as a Low voltage or POE powered IR Illuminator?

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32905690146.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.56114c4difWKYL These are the cameras I've been using, the 720p 48v one, covers about as much area in IR light as the 150w security light I used to have to use with my PTZ cameras. The ad says these are 720p but they are...

    Is there such a thing as a Low voltage or POE powered IR Illuminator?

    Bringing back an old thread to inject my 2 cents. I ran into this problem with my PTZ cameras, none of them came with IR LEDs built in. I was going to do the 12v converter method with a 12v illimunator, but then I remembered, I had bought a junk 1MP $17 camera off aliexpress one time that had...

    Pulsating/iframe problem on Hikvision NVR recordings

    Most of my cameras only have i-frame intervals measured in seconds from 1 to 5 seconds, playing around with it does have an effect, for example if I set the i-frame interval to 5s and I set to h.254, HD, 2048 Kbps, CBR, 5 fps, I only see a pulse about every 5 seconds, but if I keep everything...

    Pulsating/iframe problem on Hikvision NVR recordings

    Did you do all this on each camera or do you have a way to set the encoding on the recorded video separately on your DVR?

    Pulsating/iframe problem on Hikvision NVR recordings

    I've tried every combo of bitrate, framerate and encoding available on the cameras, it doesn't seem to matter. I can't find anything to modify on the NVR that would apply to the recorded streams.

    Pulsating/iframe problem on Hikvision NVR recordings

    Ok thanks, this video is crystal clear in the live view of it though, both in ivms-4200 and browsing with chrome. I guess the processor is just losing something in the writing to hard disk. I think this started happening after I added the last couple of cameras to that machine.

    Pulsating/iframe problem on Hikvision NVR recordings

    You don't see what looks like noise in the entire frame once per second at 1080p?

    Pulsating/iframe problem on Hikvision NVR recordings

    Hi everyone, I hope someone has run into this before. I've noticed that on playback of recordings of cameras in my Hikvision DS-9632NI-i8, the video is not as good as the original stream was, it appears to pixelate/pulsate every second on the keyframe. I can't see anywhere in the NVR settings...

    HIKvision NVR alternative

    I built out with hikvision so I'm mostly stuck with it, but I have recently been trying out a Watchnet 4 camera system, and I have to say their software seems much cleaner and their tech support got back to me right away by email when I had a question.
