    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Now I need to swap the 4K-X location with the LPR EAST camera. The 2 are mounted on the same post and are pointed in a way that their paths slightly cross each other now that I changed the FOV of the 4K-X. The light from the 4K-X is causing a glare in the image of the LPR EAST camera on the...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Ok, with the camera turned more to the right and using the night settings bigredfish recommended, I see a drastic improvement. There is still some noise in the image, but I think that may be due to the lower than recommended bitrate of 6144, which is all the Lorex will support. Hopefully that...

    Thanks. I would presume NVR would be the same

    Just curious, does it occupy 3 channels on the recording device or just one channel?

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    No, seriously, would adding some low voltage lighting help with light in this instance? It's common to see the permanent low voltage on lighting homes here and on fences. Would it be worth it to add decorative lighting to the fence? I ask because it has a good WAF factor

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    It's coincidental, other that the 4K-180, I have all the same cameras. What are you using for an NVR?

    I wonder if adding something like rope lighting to the outside of the fence would be helpful here

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    So here is the new FOV with the camera turned more to the right. We'll see if this helps tonight. The second photo is the original FOV for comparison

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Unfortunately, I can no longer drink any alcohol since my GI surgery in 2022. And I quit smoking 5 years ago, so that's another reason for impatience. I started chewing gum but even that kills you now with its microplastics. I need to find other ways to vent.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Does anyone have a good location for a 6mm 4K-X and want to make an offer? I'm hoping to get $100 out of it plus shipping costs.

    I think you're right. Will work on that today if I get a chance

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Well, you've seen the target and as we can agree, the 6mm is not a good choice for this location. I would love to have a tighter field of view, but then we get further away from the camera and compound the low light issue present in this location. Making adjustments, I'm beginning to think the...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    And no excuses, but I guess I choose the latter because my business consumes a lot of my time, I'm getting older and getting more impatient. I think that last part is a medical condition that runs in my family. My pap in his later years had no patience whatsoever. Stupid people used to set him...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Obviously, I have a lot to learn. There's just so many moving parts. Some can get real lucky with their choices and installation, some are experienced, some do the proper research, making wise decisions based on site and device variables, and some are impatient and just wing it and hope for the...

    It sure is. Unlike your location, I will have to run in IR, which I'm fine with that

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    As I said I will make some adjustments over the next week or so to see if I can make improvements. Like mentioned, the area may likely be too devoid of light to get a fast enough shutter for identification purposes on THIS camera. I have the PTZ5A4M-25X that I forgot about, that still needs to...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    I think everyone missed this previous reply: Ok, so I did some adjustments. In my case, anything above a gain setting of 30 introduces noise and goes up considerably as the gain gets past 34-35. So, I've cut the gain to 30 and had to lower the shutter to 1/30th to get an image that wasn't full...

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Unfortunately, I don't think there isn't enough light to run a faster shutter speed without introducing noise from the gain function. Otherwise, I'm back to the noisy image I showed previously.

    4K-X 6mm uneven focus

    Ok, just to give you an idea what the old Lorex camera looked like at this location. Yes, the FOV is different between the two, but I still think it's a good comparison of image quality. The Lorex is an 8mp 1/2.8" sensor running "Shutter Priority" and a shutter range of 0 - 33.33ms. Gain is 0...
