    LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars don't

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d It was on 0-30. I tried it on 50-70 last night and I was getting glowing white plates. I was having bad luck with not much traffic for testing.

    LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars don't

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d Since this camera is so far away from me, I haven't been able to get down to try reducing the exposure on the manual lens since I last posted here 2 weeks ago. Using a starting point of @nayr settings, daytime...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    I bought one. I'll post a few images in this thread. "On time delivery 60 days" is concerning though. Mine is just now in Awaiting Shipping status.

    Funny, but I like modern conveniences. Besides, I'm not doing this for my house.

    Cheapie garage door camera

    That is a very cool solution. I like that you were able to add the geofence function in as well. However, I am looking for a camera to show the garage door with a bonus of surveillance in the garage. How about this for a cheapie? LBM30S130...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    That isn't a bad idea at all. The best solution here may be a new garage door opener that has wifi and status etc. But, I don't want to mess with that level of effort. I would have to wonder if the door would automatically close on the item that was left in the way of the door though...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    Which cam would you recommend for this task? It would have to be a camera that has good wifi to make sure it doesn't go down. I was thinking a non-poe wired cam to keep things reliable and maintenance free.

    Cheapie garage door camera

    Hi all, I am looking for cheap camera whose main job will simply be to make it easy to tell if the garage door was accidentally left open. I looked through the Longsee price list and my head is still spinning. What would you use for this basic purpose? Thanks, John

    Now there is the 2mp bullet doing this as before. There is also a 2mp dome doing this. :/ Would a 4MP turret have better performance in this scenario? Like this except 4mm...

    Getting better IQ on iPhone for Hikvision iVMS4500

    I really like TinyCam Monitor for Android because of it's great Image Quality. I would like to find something similar to work with a Hikvision NVR as iVMS 4500 seems to use substreams. However, I don't see Tinycam listed on the Apple Store. What app do you like? TIA! John edit, this would be...

    NVR and 6 cams

    Using Yahoo email. I had found another thread on this topic so the DNS and alt DNS were switched to google's servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

    LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars don't

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d Thanks guys. I will adjust the iframe to as low as possible. There is no openalpr, it is connected to a 5 year old version of Milestone Enterprise (which should accept 3rd party apps). I am hoping to get that...

    Grass bright orange in sunlight

    There was purple tinge on the black table during that short 3p-4p window. Not sure what was up with it. I have had a camera with an IR cut filter issue before, it made the image pink during all daylight hours. It looked fine before and after. Nellys said to reboot it, then try defaulting it...

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d I remembered you had said 500 and 1000 before but I didn't find those settings until you posted that pic that included the Manual Exposure setting. Thanks so much. I start with you settings as a baseline. It...

    NVR and 6 cams

    So I got three fans mounted. I used the 40x20 to replace the PSU fan and I used zip ties to mount 2 40x10mm fans - one towards the hard drive and the other towards the chipset. I wanted to make at least one of them an inlet fan but there wasn't an easy location to mount that way... After an...

    LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars don't

    So I got this Dahua IPC-HF5421E mounted this weekend. There are cars in this clip at 00:07 (pass!), 00:25 (pass), 01:25 (fail!), and 01:40(fail). I turned the resolution down from 2688x1520 @20fps so that I could get to 25fps @ 2304x1296. I am waiting for more captures. I have a super IR...

    Hikvision 7616 ethernet port not working

    Which port? The LAN or one of the internal ports for the cameras? I have noticed that I can connect to NVR over a poe port as long as I add a second IP to my NIC that is in it's subnet. If you want an app for when you are not home, Splashtop or TeamViewer into your PC to view cams.

    Yet ANOTHER computer thread lol

    I have never tried to check a clip like that. I view them all in BI. Are you trying to play the clip file in WMP or in BI? Regarding a PC: buy one of these, sell the video card or put a better one in to game off of it. You will hear recommendations not dual task the machine. Do what you want...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    So the IR light arrived at my house yesterday. I will be home on Friday and I hope to install this over the weekend. The old camera used auto iris via the image sensor (see pic in OP), not the lens. The lens is manual iris. Is this cam likely to work in day and night or am I only going to be...

    NVR and 6 cams

    Thanks for pointing that out. I already have a benchmark temp reading. Psu was 85, chipset 80, old, failing, 230gb was 99. I just installed the 4tb purple I ordered. I plan to check it as is and then again with fan mods.

    NVR and 6 cams

    I found a 14db fan. I bought 2 and associated cables to hook them both up. http://www.amazon.com/Scythe-Mini-KAZE-Silent-SY124010L/dp/B000LB0M8S?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 It is 40mm x 10mm not 40 x 20, but I think it should work. I called Nelly's and they...

    8 port POE switch options

    Agreed. The SF1008p runs cool though, at least at the wattage outputs I have seen. I would have expected it to be warm. Thanks for the info about the POE+!

    8 port POE switch options

    I am looking for plan B in case I can't find a quiet NVR tomorrow at Nelly's to work with Hikvision. [see thread] If I switch to BI, I need at least 6 POE ports. I guess I could do 2x TP-Link TL-SF1008P, but that would look a little messy. TP Link also makes the 8 port POE+ switch for $155...
