Acusense and 1/1.8 sensor
Are you talking about two of these? Buying one to put above looking straight down and the other on a wall facing the entryway? I dont see that there would be enough movement to individually move each one into the correct spot. I was trying to use one ecosystem (HIK NVR) and to avoid multiple... -
Acusense and 1/1.8 sensor
Spot on. I was also looking at the big box store solution until I started to dig in and read and watch YouTube videos. 1. Is there an optimal range for varifocals? Would these be best for trying to capture a plate 40' away? Problem is I dont want 15 cameras hanging off the front of the house... -
Acusense and 1/1.8 sensor
Excellent info, spot on, if you are anywhere around Houston, I owe you multiple beers. I've learned more going back and forth with you than I have in the last month I've spent reading and researching. There are so many issues to take into account with cameras and there doesn't seem to a 100%... -
Acusense and 1/1.8 sensor
Bad boys are going to get away, that's what they gonna do. ;) What model is that Reo btw? I understand what you guys are saying. As least I think I do. So what I did was go on the Hik site and use two criteria to find a camera: sensor size and turret as the case type. Then I tried to find the... -

Acusense and 1/1.8 sensor
Sorry, 2nd post in the same day. So couple guys here were super helpful in helping me figure out optimal sensor size. big thank you to wittaj and sebastiantombs. 720P - 1/3" = .333" 2MP - 1/2.8" = .357" (think a .38 caliber bullet) 4MP - 1/1.8" = .555" (bigger than a .50 caliber bullet or... -

IR or night vision?
Very helpful info, thank you Wittaj. I have literally been reading for weeks and come up with more questions than answers. It's quite frustrating. Would you recommend this one? PCI-T15F2SL, it 5MP, Acusense, darkfighter, strobe light, audible alarm, 120 WDR, 1/2.7" cmos EDIT: disregard this...- amrogers3

HIKs with strobe light and audible warning
seems like 4 to 5 MP is the sweet spot between good resolution for both day and night. I read the wiki and it doesn't recommend 4K at night. now the question is whether to get IR or ColorVu cameras for night coverage. I've got the typical 2 driveway lights and porch light. Can't seem to figure... -
IR or night vision?
Doesn't that only help with placement, not necessarily light conditions? Is IR or night vision better for night coverage for a typical residence? I've got the usual home lighting, 2 driveway lights and porch light. Can't seem to find a consensus. I checked the wiki also and I can't find that...- amrogers3
