    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    If I had a bin file for it I'd post, but the 210719 came preinstalled. Overall, I'm very happy with this camera. Occasionally cars will drive by that the AI misses entirely, but those are infrequent and I record to a 4 series NVR and motion events to Blue Iris, so I have backup if I need it. I'd...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Assuming the last 5 digits of the bin filename represents the date, then I'm using the 210719 firmware and the 210922 would be newer (Sept. 22, 2021). Andy indicated to me offline that the sole firmware change in the newer version is "Fix 2.6.1.08.07719 red line problem." For what it's worth...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    For folks on this thread with a LPR237B-IR, the link to the 210922 firmware that Andy posted above, is that the same firmware that I have below? I purchased my camera in Oct. 2021 and the upgrade for the 210922 fails when I try to install it. I'm wondering if the 210922 is the same as what I...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Appreciate it, Wildcat. I'm running 21-07-19 firmware. Any chance you can send me a link to the version you're using?

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    For the 237 users on this thread, I'm using this camera at max zoom (2287 on the manual focus zoom slider) and during the daytime hours the optimal focus is at 140, but at night it's 160. If I don't manually change the focus to 160 when the camera is in nighttime mode, I get blurred captures...

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    I I only see it at dusk. During the day and night the picture is clear. It's weird.

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Dahua's documentation for the 237 ANPR camera is actually pretty good and while it suggests the middle of the FOV is the best capture area, it doesn't outright say it. But given this letterbox-like effect, I'm thinking I need to adjust mine up slightly, which is easier said than done. The 237...

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Appreciate the responses. One thing I've noticed with the 237 that there seems to be a capture area within which the AI works and outside of which it doesn't work, at least as well. When I view my 237 on Blue Iris, especially at dusk, the textures in the upper and lower quarter of the field...

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Good to know. Appreciate the responses. Genelit, if you've used the 237 for a while, I may drop you a line about some of the settings.

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    I bought the 237 for the ANPR features and it works well. I'm stretching its 50mm zoom with my 87" capture distance and angle, though, and am wondering if it makes sense to upgrade.

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Distance to target is 87" with a 35 degree angle. The 237 firmware wants plate pixels to be at least 140. Mine caps are usually less but the AI still works. I'm not missing many captures but am wondering if the 4mp version might help flesh out clarity of the plate images. The 237 firmware...

    2mp versus 4mp with 1.8 sensors for LPR

    Saw that the ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B is now being offered in a 4mp version. Both have 1.8 sensors and from unrelated threads the suggestion would be that the 2mp would be better in low light conditions. Since the AI on this camera is dependent on clarity of plate reads, any sense of whether...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Thanks, Wildcat_1. I'll try that. This camera is a lot of fun. The plate reads are great. I'm pushing the distance with this cam with an 85 foot capture point at about a 35 degree angle, and the plate pixels are less than 140 because I'm already at max zoon (I have a constant red message in...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    I went ahead and bought the ITC 237 from Andy and have it up and running and have been playing with it for the last week. My capture point is right where there is a speed hump on the street in front of my house, which is great for getting decent nighttime plate reads because cars must slow down...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    Yeah, I had a numbnuts moment when I read the original post and saw that the specs were there, but was intrigued when wittaj reported his neighbor using a PTZ with it. I'm looking use it not with a ptz, but with the 237 traffic cam that apparently pulls under 20 watts with the IR on. It has...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    I guess what I'm wondering is whether a device that pulls, say, 18 watts, will be operational using the splitter when paired with another cam that pulls less than 10 watts. You mentioned the two cams that you have needed a 60 watt power source. I'm wondering whether the power being split by...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    Looking at this thread again and was curious if anyone has used the Lortya/Linovision POE extender with cameras that use higher wattage? I'm going to replace my HFW5241E-Z12E for LPR duties with Andy's version of the TC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B . The specs for the Z12E says it uses less than 10.3...

    Specs for decent Openalpr machine

    I use subs on all the cameras and run most at 15fps. All cams use Dahua AI and Onvif triggers, with no BI motion sensor, except the LPR. LPR is a 2mp 1ZE that runs at 30fps. I use the BI motion sensor only for that cam. I have a 237 ANLP arriving Monday that I'm going to play with. If the...

    Specs for decent Openalpr machine

    Running an HP SFF G2 6700 with 16gb. Openalpr must use a ton of processing power. I was hoping to pick something up used rather inexpensively.

    What would be sufficient specs for a 2nd PC to run OpenALPR?

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I've been very happy with this camera. I've been using 2 of the 2mp version for the past year and the processing power didn't feel adequate and I usually could only view one channel using the web GUI. The 4mp is completely stable and functions as expected. It also runs at a normal temperature.

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    In playing with mine, one thing I noticed is that if you set up two IVS rules on one channel initially, you don't get the option to add an IVS rule to the other channel. I did a factory reset and tried adding an IVS rule to channel 1 and then to channel 2, and then had no problem adding...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Appreciate the response. I guess what I'm hoping is that the end cap piece can be attached to the short neck piece with the threads and then attached to the PFA162 and mounted on a vertical surface, as opposed to a flat one.

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Yeah, I saw that video, too. I find that burly guy's videos pretty informative. He has a pretty good video on the features of the TIOC 2.0 ptz camera, which you may have seen. I've been following the TIOC stuff because I have small gated courtyard (well lit) where a TIOC turret camera would...

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I can confirm that you don't need an NVR to disarm the TIOC cameras. You can do it with the newer DMSS mobile app (at least on the Android version). In bench testing I've confirmed the substance of this video:
