    switch 4port POE modeA

    I'm going to buy a 4POE switch and I want to know if it can connect in modeA. For example the TPLink TL-SG1008P. I don't find this info in the datasheet of POE switch... can all of them do this? How I can verify it's using only 4wires, leaving the other 4 free to other uses? Should I try to...

    info on camera SW

    I saw both Hik & Dahua have SW download for Windows, so I think they are a VMS similar to BI. So which is the difference using the browser? Also, if the firmware is chinese, I suppose it is in chinese only in the browser, the VMS should be in english. Or are there some settings only accessible...

    info on camera SW

    If I buy a Dahua or Hikvision, they have their own SW to motion detect etc I would like to know some more info: 1) you use/set their SW with the browser or is there a program exe to download, like BI in windows? 2) if there isn't an exe, is the SW upgradable only through firmware upgrade, with...

    Direct Sunlight On Sensor?

    I think "direct sunlight" it's a bit generic: "sunrise/sunset" could be fine, but at noon or similar it could damage it for it's much stronger light.

    best motion detection softwares?

    Thank you, SyconsciousAu. Me too, at the moment, use BI the same way, with multiple virtual cameras to detect different areas (it could be a better option to have different zones with different settings/alerts (like profiles) in a single camera, more with some AND/OR comparison from different...

    best motion detection softwares?

    Thank you hook3m, I know using PIR is a safer choice for alerts. But, now I'm interested in knowing better which SW is the top notch in dealing with motion detection itself. Any SW will have their particular approach to this, I'm asking if someone has done some comparative tests and reviews or...

    extract IR led on hikvision turret

    Maybe it would be because generally I like DIY, but I thought that an EXIR led could value an 50$ equivalent external IR. Leaving it off into the camera... it's a waste. Anyway I understand it's not a work for all people. It could be useful also having some photos of the inside of the cam...

    extract IR led on hikvision turret

    I read the Hikvision turrets are the best one for trying to avoid spiders and bugs on the IR light. But if that's not sufficient, has anyone tried to open the camera and extract the EXIR IR led using a longer cable and put it in an enclosure external and more distant from the camera? (Especially...

    best motion detection softwares?

    Which are the best motion detection SW? (Apart the cost) I know it can't be perfect, but I'm searching the less imperfect ones. Those with less false detects, more options such as line crossing, intrusion area detection etc Hikvision vs Dahua? I mean, free Hikvision sw is comparable on this...

    PIR activate light when camera is in night mode IR

    Yes, that should the reason of the PIR to detect them. Anyway I will consider your suggestion to keep always lit, maybe little lightings over the place AND the PIR+spotlight.

    PIR activate light when camera is in night mode IR

    The idea was to leave the area in the dark to not encourage a theft to enter seeing what's there. But if a theft enters, having a PIR to illuminate well all the area to make him go away because he was discovered and in the same time having a clearer recording of him instead of only the IR. The...

    PIR activate light when camera is in night mode IR

    I want to know what happens when a camera is in night mode with IR and no visible light, but when an external PIR activates for an intrusion and lights a strong LED spotlight. Does the camera switch to daylight? Does it remain blind for some seconds? Do you miss something in the recording?

    Advices to buy new IP cameras on large outdoor

    Thank you Del Boy, so the lens could be: 1) 2.8mm 2) 4mm 3) 4mm 4) 2.8mm 5) 8mm I read a lot of good of Hikvision here, that's the reason I named it. But, if I don't go the fish-eye route, I saw also that new Dahua 4MP has an unbeatable price vs Hikvsion at the moment...

    Advices to buy new IP cameras on large outdoor

    For the distant point, should I put a normal cam besides the other fisheye ones, as this: Or should I go with more cameras all not-fisheye, like this: Forgive me if I'm saying something wrong, I'm here to learn more ;) Give me some hints, thank you.

    Advices to buy new IP cameras on large outdoor

    I want to make a surveillance outdoor system. I'm no expert on Ip cam, I read on your forum a bit of info, so I'll try to put some ideas. I think every cam at about 200-400€ max each, 3-4 cam if possible. I will use a pc to record and monitor all. As a detail of IP cams, I'm interested only to...

    BI loose focus on HP webcam manual set

    mmm, time ago I did a C++ prog in which I set focus manual at the restart, setting two times the command, one at say 0 and the second time at the correct value: the problem is if you set the focus one time only at the start, it will not memorize... Also BI could do that, maybe I will ask the...

    BI Error with USB webcams

    Those webcams I have are 1080p, anyway if I choose IP I will spend more to obtain better qual: I don't want quite the same qual of the system I have now... I will go on 3-4MP I think. It's the same of an old analog system: if you upgrade to IP you want also to get at least 2x-3x qual. Anyway I...

    BI Error with USB webcams

    Yes, I agree IP are better; in the future... I already had, why don't use them? They work fine up to now. More, for what I need they cost very low, four decent ip cameras (of course with better qual) will cost 3x.

    BI loose focus on HP webcam manual set

    I tried to change focus also in another app and also here it looses it after a refresh of the camera. So it's not a BI only problem. Anyway, it's very annoying: you can't use the webcam this way! Any ideas on BI?

    BI Error with USB webcams

    You're right. They can't display both! It's not only BI. So, should it be an USB controller problem?

    BI loose focus on HP webcam manual set

    I use an HP HD-4110 and I need to manual set the focus because I put a wide lens (those for iphone) in front of it and the autofocus put it wrong. So, I set it manual in video/advanced tab/driver source. Then when I hit ok the camera restarts and when it reappears in BI window, the focus is...
