    New computer need Smart Pss

    Same here. Got my first one from Amcrest then installed the Dahua one from the wiki right over it - no issues.

    PTZ on Sale for another hour - thoughts

    Yes, I did buy this and it is still sitting right here in the box. I tend to research too much and have been collecting other components and need to pull the trigger on a new computer. Fortunately I have some other cams working so there was no rush to install. The cold weather didn't help...

    Dahua's Main Competitor Is... Dahua!

    I'd like to also see Amcrest comparisons since they are apparently made by Dahua.

    OpenALPR - No more free rides

    Just making sure I read this right - - - for $5/mo I can still get just the list of plates without any other info? And I can get that in a .csv file too ?

    Dahua SD65F230 - Can't upgrade firmware - Stuck at 75%

    I have no experience in firmware updates yet but would like to know if you are downloading the file to your machine first before installing or are you trying to install directly from the web?

    OpenALPR - No more free rides

    so is it OpenALPR or nothing? a quick google shows about others that are free but I am assuming these have been tried and failed. Correct ?

    Are these intrusions or uninvited guests?

    you kids LOL - nostalgia time: First was a Commodore Vic20 with the cassette tape drive for storage - might have had 16k RAM - used the TV as a monitor Next was a Commadore 64 with 64k RAM - woohoo - still used the TV as a monitor Next was a true blue IBM 8088 with a 20 Meg hard drive and 5-1/4...

    Free Amcrest Cameras

    Okay, I'm in since I was just comparing this same model today to their others with POE and tracking. I have a similar 1080p model that has been working great for quite a while.

    Two Solicitors Take A Break

    I have looked up and printed out our City Ordinance against Soliciting. I have the proper sign in place and so far about 60% of them see it and move on. Knowing the ordinance itself allows me to tell them where they are failing the law should they happen to catch me outside and show them what...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I heard today that a doctor was saying that the face masks are useless as this virus is also absorbed through the eyeballs.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Reading the thread title I thought this was going to be more about being concerned if someone sneezed into one of our packages being shipped from China. Just where is Andy getting his stuff from anyway ? hehehehe :D

    Looking for a suggestion for The BEST nighttime face detail camera.

    Oddly, I was just reading a thread with something similar. This is a 5 page thread IR Cannon w/Adjustable Focus This 2 page thread may be interesting also. IR Illuminators in 2019 Good Luck

    IPC-HDW2231R-ZS Starlight cameras IR wavelength???

    The location of the cams would be right at the street and only about 7 ft high to get a great angle for LPR. But the teenagers walking by won't see the cams unless there is the red glow - and then they would likely be destroyed. Solution now would be to turn off the LED's and put an 850nm...

    IPC-HDW2231R-ZS Starlight cameras IR wavelength???

    I am having difficulty finding this information on a lot of the cameras. Starting to assume that if they don't post it in the specs, then it is 850nm. This is starting to make me wonder if anyone sees a real world problem with being able to see the red glow of an 850nm? I am wanting to get 2...

    Your front door install and captures ?

    excellent - exactly what I had been looking for. Saw @erkme73 responded earlier too while I was searching around the forums but those pics say a thousand words. Thanks.

    Your front door install and captures ?

    Waiting on a pic of that cam mounting itself. Trying to understand that you actually mount the camera with the window itself vertically instead of horizontally and then in your software you tell it to rotate the picture 90 degrees or "corridor" mode. Is this correct ?

    REVIEW: Budget 4MP Turret Comparison - IPC-T2431T-AS vs Chinese HDW4433C-A

    Oh, jeez, I left out that I was referring to using the 2431 cams as LPR's and not the 4433's. So I am comparing $85ea vs. $130ea for some 2231's that I had previously considered. So far I have not seen an mention of the 2431's in the LPR forum either. Thanks for any additional input.

    REVIEW: Budget 4MP Turret Comparison - IPC-T2431T-AS vs Chinese HDW4433C-A

    I am curious to see if these could be used successfully as LPR cams if using the 3.6 I have a good location right at the curb and this price would make me feel better about getting the 2 cams I want out there.
