    Need camera ideas

    True. An integrator quoted me one for $1,100 each. If I could get a good one for half that, I'd love that because I can get more but it needs to perform for a 24/7/365 operation that doesn't shut down. If that's too cheap of a camera, then I have to stay with the more expensive one. I totally...

    Need camera ideas

    Yes, it has to be 30 FPS at min. The state regulations require it for casinos which is where I work surveillance at. I'm looking for something 1080p 2 MP as well. I need something less intensive on servers. My budget isn't that big for this year. We have Dahua IP cameras for PTZ. But there was...

    Need camera ideas

    So, I'm being given a budget for the year to replace some old analog cameras with IP cameras. We use Mirasys as our surveillance system if that helps. The state requires 30fps and that's good enough for us. We don't want 4K and we want to save on space as much as possible. I'm looking for as...

    PTZ Speed when panning

    Howdy all, My newest issue. When I activate the option to PTZ my IP Camera, this is what happens. I can go up and down at normal speed. If I go right or left slowly, it will move at normal speed. If I pull it more to the right or left (using mouse or joystick device), it takes up in warp...

    Ghosting issues

    That fixed that! As for bitrate, I do want to lower that on all my PTZs. I get a lot of pauses on my live monitors and skips and have wondered if I lower my bitrate if that will require less resources on my servers.

    Ghosting issues

    I turned 3D/4D off and it took the ghosting away. Now I have an issue with the same cameras. Slot machines are showing moving light using the color purple. The light on the way makes it slightly blurry or more so fuzzy. What could I do to fix that?

    PTZ Ghosting Issues

    I'm so sorry. I knew I had posted that question before. I searched and couldn't find it. I should had looked in my previous posts. The 2D/3D was the fix I was looking for. Going to add that to my notes. I really appreciate it and sorry for the double post here.

    PTZ Ghosting Issues

    Hello folks, I have a few Dahhua cameras that are "ghosting" in PTZ mode. When I move the camera around, the image gets "left behind" a bit and it is distorted looking. What information do you need more from me? Main Stream: H 264B Smart Codec Off Res: 1920*1080 30 FPS (I can't lower this...

    Dahua IP Camera: Intermittent Freezing/Pausing/Skipping

    We also have a lot of rules of stuff like retention, fps, and what has to always have a camera on it.

    Dahua IP Camera: Intermittent Freezing/Pausing/Skipping

    They come from the network switches (Extreme) to our VMS servers. We have 4 servers under our primary. Each of them have quite a few cameras on them (a bit over 400 cameras total on all 4 servers). I'm wondering if I need to move cameras around to different servers. Any way to reduce resource...

    Dahua IP Camera: Intermittent Freezing/Pausing/Skipping

    I have issue with my Dahua IP cameras with intermittent freezing issues/pausing/skipping during live view. We use the 52C232XANR models here. I do surveillance in a casino and the state requires us to have 30fps. I can't budge on that at all. It would take state legislation. Video Settings...

    Another ghosting issue on my encoder camera

    Is that something I'll probably need to access from the camera itself? I have a little handheld viewer I can take to test cameras.

    Another ghosting issue on my encoder camera

    I have another camera experiencing "ghosting" issues. This one is a fixed analog, not a PTZ. To get to the settings, I go into an IP address which reaches the encoder that this (and several other cameras) are on. It's a wisenet encoder if that helps. If you need any specific stats, let me...

    What dash cam are you using?

    I picked up the Nextbase - 320XR Dash Camera with Rear Window Camera from our local Best Buy. It's not the best but for only $150, it isn't the worst, either. It doesn't have as much of a wide angel as I hoped for and no smart phone features but I can record video/audio on the front and video...

    Ghosting issues

    So I adjusted the DNR and it seems to have fixed the camera with issues. I truly appreciate the help. On the FPS. In this state, we are hung on laws concerning gaming and the state isn't that fast about changing the laws. I'm just thankful communities like this exists with folks like you. I...

    Ghosting issues

    So, the FPS has to be 30 at minimum. That's per the gaming board regulations in my state. If I don't change that setting, should I change the others differently than what you have suggested or do the same? As for lighting, there is a lot of slot machines in the area. Those of course have many...

    Ghosting issues

    I might be choosing a bad term. This is what is going on: I'll move the PTZ, and a trail of the images will be slightly left behind which is what I'm referring to as "ghosting". If there is a different term, by all means, please correct me. What could be a solution to stop this for Dahua IP...

    Howdy folks

    Shawn here. I'm a Surveillance Agent and Tech-in-Training for a casino in Illinois. I joined to get ideas and community support for camera issues. We work with a lot of different cameras here, some being particularly old. Thanks for having me and I look forward to being a member here.
