    8MP IPC-T2385G-I (OEM HK Darkfighter) vs Dahua 4MP IPC-HDW5442TM-AS Wondering why the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS isn't any better but worse than the IPC-T2385G

    I wish I could but there is no where I could high enough even if they didn't mind. As the upstairs has a balcony over my and they're not aloud or supposed to put anything outside. I haven't put up my second IPC-T2385G-I I may in the back window where the HDW5442TM-AS and see if its any different...

    I may try next weekend for fun and see what happens. Tired of messing with it tonight. I thought it was strange too, so can only think either they don't like the lamps glow/temperature or the glass they are behind is causing something strange. For the most part they're fine as I use them for my...

    Bitrate at 8192, haven't tried custom I figured it was enough as I don't get artifacts or anything. Tried 1/60 is better but even at like 5' not the best and more blur then the other two 8mp. T2385G-I HFW1831E HDW5442TM-AS I'm still learning and playing with settings as normally when I...

    I have been playing with different cams to find the best for color in low light. So far I'm liking the IPC-T2385G-I best for accurate color and low noise, however as I don't have enough light to go above 1/30 shutter with out more noise than it's worth. Not to much blur if any around 20' or so...

    Dahua 8MP IPC-HFW1831E vs 8MP IPC-T2385G-I (OEM HK Darkfighter)

    @mech I have a NVR "5216-16P-4KS2E" I have messed with Blue Iris in the past and do like it, but with the driver/windows issues and having to have a spare PC, I decided to use an NVR this time. Also, with a NVR as it dosn't draw much power I have around 2 hours uptime if the power goes out with...

    WTS SOLD Two IPC-T2385G-I [DS-2CD2385G1-I] 8MP 4mm Turrets

    SOLD I have two IPC-T2385G- 8MP 4mm. Work great but really either need bullet/box or varifocal, as they are behind glass. So I need to either have them on the glass or a varifocal to focus past the glass/any glare. I would like $110 ea. or $200 for both. Purchased from Andy. May trade if or...

    Dahua 8MP IPC-HFW1831E vs 8MP IPC-T2385G-I (OEM HK Darkfighter)

    @mech, No it does not I was wondering the same thing but so far no issues and it much better to me at 1/30 and gain around 60 less noise and more evenly balanced image. Still playing with it though. Per the manual: Exposure Settings If the camera is equipped with the fixed lens, only Manual is...

    Dahua 8MP IPC-HFW1831E vs 8MP IPC-T2385G-I (OEM HK Darkfighter)

    After the recent guy checking cars I wanted something better if available so I tried the new IPC-T2385G-I from Andy and they will most likely be replacing my current IPC-HFW1831E. I got 4mm instead of 2.8mm to get a somewhat better view and more light over less area. So far so good better color...

    OEM 4mp IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+ Test of going back to old firmware from 190920 to 190521 Smart/Auto IR seems ok.

    After messing with different firmware and having the "Algorithm expired error" though it didn't seem to make any difference I flashed back to 190521 and was testing it out no issues so far and Smart/Auto IR is working ok. Still need to flash my other one and test IVS on the front door, but so...

    Video of guy checking doors and got in one...So looking for better starlight cameras to replace or add.

    Nice, I'm just mainly trying to see if it's someone around here, as a moped was also stolen a few weeks ago and was able to get the back print off a hoodie/jacket. Was going to see if it matched the one in this video but haven't looked yet. I'm like 1 mile from OU and there is lots of traffic...

    Video of guy checking doors and got in one...So looking for better starlight cameras to replace or add.

    I have talked to them about it before as they do have cameras in spots though why to high like 3" from the roof in the center and the apts. are two stories. They don't seem to care and there is nothing my end as they don't want to run underground cable or a AP client/bridge. They also don't want...

    Video of guy checking doors and got in one...So looking for better starlight cameras to replace or add.

    I'm going to try the 4K Darkfighters and will try to get a comparison. Mainly getting the highest MP I can as it's a large view or I would go lower.

    Video of guy checking doors and got in one...So looking for better starlight cameras to replace or add.

    I don't normally go though footage just cause, but a neighbor came by saying their truck was broken into last night. So I looked and this is what I found...good stuff is around 3:10. So I'm wanting to replace these or add to them at least one as good as I can get starlight. I know its a big ares...

    4K starlight Series Firmware Update 20190404

    @EMPIRETECANDY, no issues with the firmware but was wondering if a grayed out option on the profile day/night could be enabled? Reason being is I have enough light that it never needs to switch to night so it stays in the day profile. I'm wanting to have a day/night profile to get the best at...

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    Just updated my NVR [NVR5216-16P-4KS2E]to 4.0.1 no issues so far but I haven't ever used push notifications. It looks neat so I may mess with it later. Only issues i'm having are with my IPC-HDW5442TM-AS randomly getting stuck in B&W or going out and having to do a hard reset. Then they go out...

    (SOLD) One IPC-HDBW4431F-AS 4MP 2.8mm IR Mini Dome

    I really can't as its $40 off already and its barley 2 months old or I would. It can be used with or without a NVR but would need a POE switch or a 12v 1a power supply. The quality is quite a bit nicer then the ones mentioned. I can't really be much more help as I myself am learning too. I just...

    I have one Dahua IPC-HDBW4431F-AS 4MP 2.8mm IR Mini Dome camera I purchased from Empire Andy around 3/19. Works great but not what I was wanting at the time and he didn't have what I wanted in-stock. So I would like $80. or would trade for 4MP/2MP IR turret. Shipping $10. Not sure why they...

    Going from TVI to IP

    Thanks @mat200 On the glare normally I get a razor blade to scrape off what I can from the glass before cleaning it helps. Also I have used a piece of anti-glare or reflective film on the glass wherever the camera is. This time since the bullet though mini is a bit bigger then the turrets I...

    Going from TVI to IP

    I have been wanting to go from analog to ip for awhile only reason I hadn't was the price, since ip was twice or more compared to analog. I had found this form when looking and comparing ip cameras and low light technologies. I had seen a lot on HK and Dahua but was still out of my price range...
