    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    This looks great in night time with so much street lighting and the starlight chip. No need for ir it seems.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Indeed, it has enough room for the pigtail with even the water proofing part over the rj-45 cable. It is even possible to put a poe endspan device in it, so an ir unit or sensor with the default 2.1 mm power connection can be used on end of plain ethernet with POE as well. For example my eve is...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    No it will be little farther away from the wall. But for me: cannot decide if I want a mini ptz or such a turret, or a coming mini-ptz with starlight chip or ... it is nice to be able to mount them all the same way. I have to live with the fact there are cameras on the wall, if they stick out a...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Thank you very much for posting these. I will need to buy a larger PTZ within a year and this one is priced very nice, so it is an option. I assume the above is the same angle, just zoomed in and zoomed out ? And can you confirm it comes included with that mount ?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I mounted this turret to the PFB203W mount. Just for anyone who wonders how it will look :) Imagine the red/purple colour is the wall. (it is my sofa) It now is set up so it looks alongside the wall and slightly down. On the left side there is a piece of the mount that detaches and you...

    Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.

    But IVS will not automatically mean Auto tracking i think ?

    The mount that is in the link looks the same as the mount i have for my hikvision 5220 ptz. That mount is not plastic but it is aluminium metal. And there is room for the connections intern :)

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    The nice thing of those wall mounts of the pfb20x series is that the part that is mounted to the wall is the same for the series. So if you have a mini ptz it uses a pfb202w and this turret uses a pfb203w you can swap them out simply. The part you see is locked with a small bolt to the part...

    Newb POE switch questions

    If you have multiple vlan's the issue will be the routing between them in general. Not many customer routers can do that. If you want secure access also to the cameras from mobile phones etc. Some solution like pfsense firewall might be a solution. That could do multiple vlans, vpn's and a lot...

    Pics so far of survey for my house.

    You might need to put quite some number of cameras there cover it all... But this seems a good try to get an idea of how it will look and catch people at their expected path of approaching the house. unfortunately I have to do it from a design drawing.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    If the floodlight is non ir as i assume, you would want to leave the camera in color mode, so image is rater dark withouth the floodlight. That than depends on the light level in the environment. Once the floodlight switches on, the camera will adjust to that light level rather quick i would...

    Wow 50 watts is a lot.. Is that not a heating element for the housing or whatver ? I read the install pdf and it seems the square plate with the round hole for the lens is the IR unit indeed.

    Dahua SD22204T-GN 2MP?

    I tested this camera with a unit with external ir, so for what it is worth you can look at what it does in the dark (not much without IR or normal lights) See: Thoughts on this mains powered IR illuminator I did not do much daytime recording yet, as i am quite busy during daytime. And we hade...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I did some tests with POE powered ir units here: Thoughts on this mains powered IR illuminator On the back of the house there is water, and the edge of that is estimated 25-30 meters from the camera. I tested a 90 and 30 degree angled unit and a 3.6 watt ir cannon. It was a short test, and the...

    Fixed 4 mm camera's might be cheaper indeed. Will check them out. Edit: So the fixed IPC-HDW4231EM-As is like €125 ar BEC store. Empire is more expensive :) So to compare: 3x camera IPC-HDW4231EM-AS = 375€ 3 x conduit = 210€ 3x bracker = 60€ 3x cat6 cable = 60€. Total a out 705€ Andy sent me...

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    What you think would be the reason for theat limited resolution vertically ? I assume if they stitch the images together they need some pixels to adjust. For example to have the optical path alligned and not to make a too costly hardware setup, and just move it together in software ?

    Dahua 2MP Starlight Lineup

    On aliexpress below $600 it seems. The form factor is better than 3 seperate turrets or mini bullit units with 3.6 lens mounted next to each other i guess when looks mean something. I will consider one for my back garden. I wanted minimptz everywhere, but this 180 degree one for overview, and a...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I Like the idea to be able to do such things for back garden where normally no one is, and that follow one single intruder next to overview camera. In my example i have no choke point in the back garden, and the fence lenght on 3 sides is like 40 meters of 2 meter high fence. It would only be...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I agree, but if you watch only your own ground and not expect multiple intruders from multiple sides, you might get nice zoomed in details from the event. In the above posted clip you can see some details from the cars, but normaly you would have cameras that are also zoomed in. And you could do...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    I am not really limited through experience with databases the last 20 years :) I can see the advantage of having only pointers/links in a database and not jpeg images as blobs. On the other hand if you have metadata, it should also easy to store that in the db, and than you could search through...

    Dedicated License Plate Cam project

    Mysql seems to have the blob type. I looked at a youtube example and it does not seem to be very hard to insert and retrieve images. First some cisco exams and than i hope to have time to look at it.

    Do you know if this will fit in between the pfa151 corner mount and the camera ?
