    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL panoramic - what works for me

    I verified my settings. Thought I was on something else. Running 1/30 at home for night shots. I agree 1/6 is slow but really pulls the light in. Good ol' tradeoffs.

    Poe to Poe Then wired connect to Wifi Extender and Ip Cam

    How big is your house? Are you using 5ghz WIFI only? Wondering why you have 2 AP's? I have ONE Cisco 3702i access point. I use 2.4ghz with the TX power turned half way down. Still can reach the mailbox 150+ feet away at the end of the driveway. Our house is 2550sf, single level with an open...

    Who's ARPing my Camera?

    A static device like a IP cam doesn't need DHCP. It's your network so build as you wish. Makes no sense though...... I try to limit DHCP down to nothing if I can. Why? Someone can plug a variety of gizmos in to your switch and get an IP on YOUR network. At least it will slow the "honest"...

    best/funniest audible alert for cams that have that capability

    I have some Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL cams. Got the alert messaging and strobe lights when triggered. Never buy another camera unless it does these two tricks. Really sends people running to the curb. Tired of my lawn being a dog park or a track and field exercise pad. Anyway who has the...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL panoramic - what works for me

    Like I said, at MY HOUSE. We all have different nighttime light levels. Try it at your house and see??? I can double check that 1/6 value. I know it's slower than 1/30. UPDATE, trying 1/12 now for night shots.

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL panoramic - what works for me

    I just read your post on here. Huge thank you for making this. I already manually entered all the times "per" "camera" LOL. What a doozy. Blue Iris does a daily sunrise and sunset time for us based on lat and long. Nice to integrate it as you did.

    Need Help with Low Bitrate on Hikvision Camera

    I think what is going on is you want 16mb and get after all the lossy encoding is 2mb. So at the sensor is 16mb. At the NVR or BI for example the rate is peanuts. Seems normal to me. Just calculate the bandwidth of a 10 minute trigger at 16mb. Or someone doing constant records WOW. It's H.26X...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL panoramic - what works for me

    Have 4 of these DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL panoramics. Going to list what settings work AT MY HOUSE. 1.Blue Iris 5.something. 2.Big POE switch with plenty of POE budget. 3.Belden 23ga pure copper CAT 6 cable throughout. 3.ONVIF slash in cam triggering only. Love the flashing strobes and "hey get off...

    Going crazy - POE Hikvision cam works, Amcrest won't - same cable

    Going to 23ga is a game changer guys. Lower signal to noise on the line and many more positive aspects. If I buy any CAT Ethernet cable it is 23ga. Even 24ga copper Belden CAT 5e was lacking in raw bandwidth sending video files from a PC to another PC. Wouldn't saturate the full 1GB line speed...

    Going crazy - POE Hikvision cam works, Amcrest won't - same cable

    These panoramic cams are rated at 802. blah blah AF. AF is a 15 watts max spec. The Hik Pano you listed has 2 sensors so it will pull all 15 watts. Your switch is rather lacking on POE budget. 15 watts x 8 ports is 120 watts. Get a switch with a greater POE budget.

    Going crazy - POE Hikvision cam works, Amcrest won't - same cable

    OR the female Ethernet connector on the camera harness has a bad, burnt, missing or corroded pin. If the outdoor cam harness sits where rain can hit it, you better mummy wrap every connector with butyl rubber tape. I know most have that plastic tampon looking weathering device. Hard rains can...

    You need to verify all specs prior to buying any camera.

    Hikvision Product Comparison

    Buy a camera for the shot YOU are trying to capture. This is step 1. What are you trying to record exactly? Ask yourself this. Go to each camera spot as use your own eyes. They will tell you you we need a panoramic or not. If you want general front and backyard shots then a regular non PTZ will...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL not detecting car at night

    Because you don't have the BASIC motion set proper. You can turn on USE ZONES AND HOTSPOT and mask the tree movement and other false triggering areas of your shot. Again turn off ALL forms of triggering until you master the BASIC one in BI. It will only confuse you.

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL not detecting car at night

    Simple nighttime and a black car with not enough CONTRAST setting in basic motion detection. Lower CONTRAST setting to give it a better chance of triggering. Plus your shutter speed was too fast with deficient light????

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL not detecting car at night

    1/120 is way too fast for night. Image will be dark or black unless you have a ton of light.

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL not detecting car at night

    Far as not detecting cars at night, those are super easy to trigger. All you need is the "basic" motion sensor with object size and contrast in Blue Iris. Turn off all the other ONVIF and Advanced motion detectors. Just focus on the "basic" till you get it down. So simple object size and...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL not detecting car at night

    Just commenting on this comment. In my testing, H.264 is superior for video quality. Sure all these plus and H.265 schemes are smaller file sizes. To me that is more lossy compression slash video degradation going on. To test this for yourself, take am image and zoom in with .264 and .265. You...
