    PFA150 question.

    You could probably use it on a smaller diameter pole than 3" if you purchased some smaller straps. That's what I did with the PFA-152. Straps are inexpensive at Lowe's.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    The audio setting that has worked best for me is AAC encoding at 64000 sampling rate. Also, I leave the noise filter "off" and made a foam windscreen to place over the mic on the camera. I took some old microphone windscreens, cut them up and attached them to all of my cameras with Command strips.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    I have found the compression artifacts to be less when using H.264H with this camera. I tried both H.264 and H.264H, and could see a noticeable difference in the image.

    What display do you use ?

    Look about five or six posts above and you will see the link i posted for the transmitter and receiver I purchased. I had tried others before this particular model, and none worked reliably until I found this one. I’ve never lost a signal or had to reset anything since I have been using it.

    What display do you use ?

    I find it easy to click one button on a tv remote, and the picture will come up instantly on any of the four tv's in my house. As I am typing this to you, I clicked on the tv in my living room, and it took only a couple seconds to show this image of my cameras. Also, wired is always going to be...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    I would definitely attach a camera to a temporary mount that could be moved around to test the area. Looks like there is going to be a problem with shadows and highlights in that placement. You need to see what it will look like in the day and night before committing to a final location.

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 - Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera

    Setting the resolution for 4096x1216 works really well for me. Also, I leave WDR "off." Having it turned "on" shows the center where the view of the two lenses meet.

    Apple MacBook Dahua Questions

    BootCamp will work great on an older MacBook with Windows 10. You will be able to access everything with Internet Explorer. One note: SmartPSS is awful on the older MacBook. SmartPSS only runs reliably on the newer M1/M2 chip Macs.

    Apple MacBook Dahua Questions

    On my MacMini running Sonoma 14.1.2, Safari was working great with the WEB 5.0 interface, until the most recent update from Apple. I had to switch over to Google Chrome Version 120.0.6099.109 to gain full access again. For any of my older cameras not running WEB 5.0, I have to either run...

    parking detection ivs on IPC-4KX doesn't work

    The IPC 4K-X is a great camera. I use two of my three to detect parked cars. The first thing I noticed with your setup is that the detection area is very small and at the top of the coverage area. The 4K-X is most sensitive to the center area of the window, and with the extreme difference in...

    IVS Tripwire -- Rules for Drawing

    Agree with everything Wittaj recommended; in addition, always envision an area as three-dimensional rather than two-dimensional when drawing a detection area or detection lines. Frequently I have noticed that detection areas people draw out and then post here outline where a body would stand...

    Anybody else using parking assist in their garage?

    I had one of those at a previous house back in the early 2000's. Worked well and the Installation was simple; just plugged it into the outlet for the garage door opener mounted on the ceiling. Still have it in a box in my new garage, so if yours ever breaks, you can have this one.
