    Can not get camera to record motion only

    I'll have to look. Both cameras are hooked to the NVR using HIKVISION protocall.

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Techno.... I am still dialing in the performance. I am having an issue with the exhaust from my furnace tripping up the camera. The IR lights really illuminate the exhaust, even though not visible to the naked eye, The camera will track my small dog, but often looses her. Sunba has been very...

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    I agree. I have a SUNBA 507 20X and the interface is way different from the Illuminati The Illuminati is very similar to a HIK camera I have seen.

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Got her all working.... I like the line/perimeter tracking, camera also has several tracking modes where it will pretty much track anything in the current FOV.

    Hot water heater exhaust capture

    Only when temp humidity is right do you see it in the day. Camera is only picking it up at night when the IR lights are on. Have tried turning on exterior lights at night and the fog disappears. pain cause this is where I primarily want the camera to look.

    Hot water heater exhaust capture

    More heat vapor with a little water vapor. the IR lights really light it up. Have to look at it more during the day, may be able to add some pipe and get it out of the way

    Hot water heater exhaust capture

    No able to move the camera. Moving the exhaust output will take some time, The IR lights really highlight what is almost non observable to the naked eye. Not sure what other camera settings I could try.

    Records during pan tilt movement as motion detection

    I have a Hikvision NVR, and 2 IP PTZ cameras. My Illuminati is mounted on the rear of the house. Originally I wanted it to patrol 3 areas and use auto tracking if trip lines were crossed. later found the camera has to be in a fixed position to do auto track. Really dumb if you ask me. so I...

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Actually figured out where to do it in the NVR, WEB interface SUNBA swears their cameras are compatible with Hikvision. Just not sure if I set it up correctly. To cold and dark out to check right now.

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Yes this is also what I had thought, I will email Sunba again and have them clarify this. Also have to figure out how to stop the camera from talking when it see motion.

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    I have this camera set up on my Hikvision NVR. I am un sure how to program in or set up the auto tracking on the NVR, According to SUNBA, it can be set up via a WEB interface or via the NVR but not both. I would prefer to use the NVR. Ne instructions for the NVR are very rudimentary. If...

    I currently have 2 PTZ IP cameras running, one is on the front of my garage. (POE) A SUNBA Illuminati(POE) is on the rear corner of the house. Have not thought about where I will put the 3rd camera, possibly on the rear of the garage it is Non POE. I also have a 4 port HIKvision NVR. These...

    Lets talk low end NVR

    Yes. so I have found. makes it very hard to tell what is what. Finally just went and ordered this: Hikvision ERI-Q104-P4 Value Express 4-Channel 4MP PoE NVR with 2TB HDD Even if it ends up being pure junk, I paid less then what a 2tb hard drive for it would cost. As I said, this is NOT a...

    Lets talk low end NVR

    Since I have 2 SUNBA Tech cameras, I reached out to them. I was surprised that they admitted their own NVR was kind of bottom of the line and that they " If you would want to seek another NVR that works better, we recommend DS-7608NI-8P. " But looking at that model: Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-8P...

    Lets talk low end NVR

    Some interesting thoughts. I have a separate 4 port POE hub, guess I will just keep that. Thanks for the link to the wiki, will have a look. Good point about ordering from Amazon, or some other USA retailer, easier to return.

    Lets talk low end NVR

    I know what a NVR is does etc.. I have 2 SUNBA cameras. 1 old507 model and a newer illuminati. I also have a nest cam on my doorbell. I DO NOT NEED THIS SETUP FOR SECURITY. What I do want is a 4 port PoE capable system. (currently using a laptop, not enough CPU power but works) 1 to 2TB HD...

    Review Sunba Tedh 507-20XC

    I know way old thread. Just thought after almost 6 years I would update that the camera still functions well. Soon as I get a semi warm day it is going on the front corner of the house to keep an eye on the driveway and front door. (have a nest cam in the door bell) Had an issue with motion...

    New Sunba Illuminati

    All I can say is I have had a SUNBA 507-20X for over 5 years and still going strong. I was using it as a sky camera, but I am moving it to cover the front of the house. I too am looking for a tracking camera, more for the wild life that roams through the yard then security. But also want it to...

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Why would a stuck IR filter give a bloom on the right side of the image? Will climb the tower in a bit and have a look, might be able to give it a few taps and free it up.

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Don't think it is the IR Filter. I think I have burned the sensor. I have powered cycled 3 times. Tried every setting the camera has, and I can not get it to go away. I have always had an issue with sun flare and bright moon light. Looking for a camera that has better filtering...... aggggg

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    Oh well, guess the sun finally killed mine. I so liked the night time ability of this camera. Have to go on the search for a new one that has a sun filter installed.

    Dahua Ultra Starlight Varifocal Bullet (IPC-HFW8232E-Z)

    I have the one on the unit as far out as it will go. I also installed a longer one on top of that. I think I need to add a polarization filter. The camera faces East, and catches the rising sun. IT CAN NOT BE RE-AIMED. I use it to watch the sky. any other direction faces trees. Melvin...

    Just wish they had a sun filter in them to help deal with the flare.

    IPC-HFW8232E-Z Add heater

    I run my on a seperate power line. I could easily rig up a small resistive heater, just really don't want to open the seals on the camera just to find out there is not room.
