The middle and bottom pictures are with no LEDs and no white light, strictly starlight gathering light from the sky Middle pic is 11:20 pm at night and is dark back...

    Best Cameras for under $150

    I have installed a few of the starlight cameras. One in a storage facility with zero light at all, you can not even see your hand in front of your face. That starlight camera has the white lights and if installed outside can turn off the white lights and use the sky as a gathering light source.

    Hikvision dome built in mic problem Model DS-2CD2542FWD-IS

    The MIC is very good and hears everything quite good. It really hears slight chair movements and things like that. I was quite happy with it

    Dahua dome that displays good and color at night

    Ok thanks, so 2mp is better at night then 4mp? But daytime I would think 4mp is better then 2mp. Would that be a accurate presumption?

    Dahua dome that displays good and color at night

    Show me your non blur camera image. You must have an outstanding camera. I been installing and tested well over 100 different cameras since 2003. I wasn't asking how bad mine is but where I can get comparable camera supported after purchase from Dahua

    Dahua dome that displays good and color at night

    I bought a 4mp Dahua dome last year. It works great but no support from Dahua because the serial number or device number they said it was not their camera. So, anyone ever buy a Dahua 4mp that displays like mine? The nearest street light is like 5 houses down the way it faces and 150' behind the...

    Siding and Soffit install mounting base/block?

    I never did it at one time either, I just do it to make a neat install and hide wired. It is fairly easy actually and 1 tool made for siding around $8.00 is worth it.

    Optimal Position

    I have left the cable exposed in many cases. If it is BNC connections they can also be in the weather. If it is Ethernet connection they also can be out in the weather if the connector has the quick twist ends on it to weather proof the connection. As far as both on the pillar at the end of the...

    Siding and Soffit install mounting base/block?

    I have lifted siding and hid wire and connections behind siding. If you have to run the length of the house of siding I have selected one that has no obstacles and lifted just the ends and slid a 1/4" figerglass fish rod and usually fishes easy from 1 end to the other making wire runs easier...

    Optimal Position

    I would add 2 to the bottom of the driveway gray pillar. 1 would be wide angle lens covering the apron and entrance to the drive and camera 2 facing the front of the house.

    Camera Mounting on a Stucco House - Help

    There should be wood behind the stucco. Usually it is a coating. I would first try using a 2" screw and see if it bites. I usually find a 2" screw works in most cases unless brick then use a anchor. If the screw does not bite and spins then you can always try running in a zinc drywall/wood...

    Dahua Mobile Camera video sample

    Exactly JMCU an inverter run a house DVR or NVR and plug in a monitor should be plenty of voltage to run these systems. Im sure many of these would work fine. https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/12v-power-inverter

    Dahua Mobile Camera video sample

    Could probably put a 12v to 110v inverter in the vehicle and power a whole system. DVR NVR what ever and all cameras. I had thoughts of doing that which would probably be better then a dash cam

    Front door IPCam mounting suggestions?

    I also agree with cris cross view, but would put the 1 at the corner of the house by the white fence capturing the window and all down the house drive and street, the 2nd camera looks like it would go under the overhang by a brick wall that looks like is coming out some.

    Montaview products anyone tried them?

    I know, that is why I mentioned I wish they would rather then just display their product. This way no issues when it comes to serial numbers and not supporting Dahua marked cameras I get from other sellers. Last comment I made looked like I was saying Dahua sells on their site. Bad wording on my...

    Montaview products anyone tried them?

    Ok thanks. To bad some of these companies don't just sell direct like Duaha and only show product. It sure would simplify the whole thing

    Montaview products anyone tried them?

    My problem seems to be how to know a camera purchase will have support from Dahua as in the past they ask for serial number and all the ones I bought were not serial numbers USA/Canada and said no support. Drives me crazy on where to buy knowing it is the real deal and supported by the Dahua support

    Montaview products anyone tried them?

    Thanks, that was a good explanation and will look more at the Dahua brand from now on. I found out from a couple ebay buys the hard way, contacted Dahua with questions, they asked for serial number, said can't help, not USA/Canada serial number not theirs.

    Are Dahua cameras good for color compared to the others at night? I know there needs to be some light and other cameras can also get color with ambient light, just curious if Duhua is a leader preferred to others

    Dahua has a new water proof junction box PFA130-E / PFA130E for Turrets ( PFA137, PFA139 )

    I find the glands are ok with cat5 wire and maybe some other. Bad part is the camera ends don't fit through the hole in glands. If they made a nut that split that would be nice. Camera ends for network cameras are about the same as BNC ends just fit through the hole in the glands

    Thanks I do have 2 cameras that have color at night, 1 is a Dahua and really low light it has color amazingly. Other is a China brand and has medium to low light but is color. I can turn off the LEDs on the china ones and by doing that it sees nothing but when the motion lights kick on they also...
