    Camera Shopping Spree : Dahua

    Four cameras to start, each different. My shotgun approach here is to see first hand what works for my peoject. I expect all cameras to be in use in some role. The cameras: DH-IPC-HFW4431M-AS-I2, 12mm IPC-HDW4431C-A, 6mm & 2.8mm DH-IPC-HFW4421E, 6mm No NVR ATM.I'm waiting for...

    Not Mine - Boost Mobile store Armed Robbery Paterson NJ

    Why guns? Ask the robbers why they could not just politely ask for all the contents in the store they wished for? Why not just bring in money and buy what you wanted and not steal what you cannot? They will be back. Why guns? Why rob?

    Camera Suggestions After Neighborhood Break Ins

    If you want to watch over the cars, determine where you can mount cameras and what camera specs will give you what you want. Many of the cameras are offered in at least two lenses that I have seen amongst the Dahuas. (2.8, 3.6, 4, 6, 12 and varifocal seem most common). I am sure this is...

    Not Mine - Boost Mobile store Armed Robbery Paterson NJ

    Really shows a few things: Good guys with guns would have helped a lot. Plenty of opportunity to dispose of the threat. Camera placement. Nice enough to give an idea of what is happening but no way to identify someone from this view.

    HDW4431C-A : Doorway Camera?

    Correct. The wall ends. The column is decorative. To the left of the lamp, the porch continues. Cameras can be discreetly installed here. One at least to watch doorway. Further down I want to watch Front yard and driveway .. and something that will reach out to intersection. (Corner lot).

    Good Base for NVR?

    My few days on the forum learning as much as I can, I see my choices are opening up. Amcrest is not what I am looking for. One camera at the door way, dome. One camera up high Front and one in rear. Likely the PTZS types? Another one up to overlook intersection, cars passing by...
