    Comparison of LTS 5MP turret to their 2MP Ultra low light turret

    Fenderman, Thanks for going back and cleaning up this thread. I looked at it yesterday and regretted trying to help/contribute with comparisons that I thought would be of use to the folks on this forum. Aside from that, my driveway is a tough spot to get a decent night pic. Between it being...

    Comparison of LTS 5MP turret to their 2MP Ultra low light turret

    For those of you still following along. Here are some additional pics and I added in the HIK 3MP ULL camera to the same location. For the night pics, I disabled the IR light on the 2 cameras not being tested. In other words, for the 5MP night pic, I turned off the 2MP and 3MP IR lights. Did...

    Cement Pad Installation

    Very nice. So that does not go to an NVR, it is cloud storage? I heard a guy at work jokingly say to another guy that his garage was so big he could turn a cement truck around in it. Yours is literally big enough to turn a cement truck around in!! I wish I had that kind of storage space.

    WD 6TB PURX vs PURZ?

    What is the user benefit to one vs the other? The "X" is labelled as the original version and the "Z" as the new version. I see that the new has larger sizes available but is there any technical benefit of say the new 6TB over the original 6TB? Operating specs look the same as far as read...

    4MP vs 3MP vs 2MP for night vision

    Starlight IPC Turret HDW4231M gives 3 specs; 0.009Lux/F2.0( Color,1/3s,30IRE) 0.07Lux/2.0( Color,1/30s,30IRE) 0Lux/F2.0(IR on) So this camera and the 3042 both say 0Lux with IR and the Starlight shows .009 Lux and .07 Lux, not sure the difference there, but anyway .009 Lux vs the 3042 of .01...

    4MP vs 3MP vs 2MP for night vision

    Thanks for the info. Wow, that thread has 12 pages and within that are links to other threads that have 148 pages! Can't say that I read all of it. :) If I did, by the time I got done, what I decide on will be obsolete. Anybody have any LTS or Hikvision comparisons for 2.1MP vs 4.1MP...

    4MP vs 3MP vs 2MP for night vision

    I did some reading on this site with regards to the benefit of lower MP resolution when it comes to night vision using the IR light. More pixels, more noise, pixel cramming, light leakage across pixels.....I was looking at some 4.1MP LTS turrets (CMIP3042W) for example. Would I really be...

    16 channel LTS NVR advice

    To clarify, you can view playback video footage from a specific event in the app or web client? I understand easily doing that while on the local NVR, but I am trying to view playback on the lTS system in one of their demo versions online. I cannot see any playback footage.

    16 channel LTS NVR advice

    Thanks for the reply. Does that NVR have some sort of event triggers marked on the playback timeline? Lets say I was doing 24/7 recording and wanted to easily see when an event took place on a certain camera. Would the playback screen have a timeline with some sort of markings on it that I...

    Noob here, introduction...

    Yes, I have spent a good amount of time on their site. Spoke with them on the phone as well but since I am not an installer, they were reluctant to give me any real advice nor any pricing at all. I think I want the LTN8716-P16 NVR. For the cameras I was thinking about a mini bullet, 4.1MP with...

    Noob here, introduction...

    Hello all of you experts.. My name is James. I have been lurking around trying to learn about home surveillance setups. Which of your forums would be best to ask questions about some specifics on LTS components? I think I already have my NVR picked out, but need some assistance on camera...
