    IPC-Color4k-X with Passive POE

    I ordered an 802.11AF/AT injector and will install. I've googled the difference between passive and active (i.e., devices that conform to one of the standards such as 801.11af or at) and it seems conforming to the standard means there is a negotiation or handshake between poe providing device...

    IPC-Color4k-X with Passive POE

    I'm having a hard time getting a IPC-Color4k-X to work using POE from a Mikrotik hAP ac3 router/AP. The Mikrotik specs indicate that it has passive POE (not 802.1af or at). Does anyone have any experience with this working or not working? Thanks!

    I ordered several types and will test and report back. Thank you!

    Camera on 2" mast

    I assume you mean the hose clamp. Good idea. Not sure if it would work but worth a shot. Thank you!

    Camera on 2" mast

    That would be great, but it the specs are accurate, the minimum mast size is 3.15" Mast Diameter ɸ 80~1 5 0mm ɸ 3.15 ””~5.91

    Camera on 2" mast

    Does anyone know how I can mount a camera on a 2" diameter aluminum mast? Thank you!

    When/Where to use 8MP-1/1.2 vs. 4MP-1/1.8?

    Great info! So (all else being equal) an 8MP/1.2 can be described as 'somewhat better' or '33% farther DORI distance' than a 4MP/1.8 camera. I'll stop bugging you guys -- I think i understand enough now to feel comfortable concluding that (even) a 4MP/1.8 would be a huge improvement over my...

    When/Where to use 8MP-1/1.2 vs. 4MP-1/1.8?

    that’s extremely helpful. Thank you. I’m sure I’m being extra slow, but could you describe a situation or environment where a 4K/1.2 camera would perform better?

    When/Where to use 8MP-1/1.2 vs. 4MP-1/1.8?

    Understood that the sensor size doesn't change. I can't say I understand what exactly does happen when one configures a camera at a lower-than-maximum resolution.

    When/Where to use 8MP-1/1.2 vs. 4MP-1/1.8?

    I'm wondering if there are general guidelines for when 8MP-1/1.2 cameras would be smarter to use vs. 4MP-1/1.8 cameras? Is a 1/1.2 always better (i.e., would turning down the 8MP camera to 4MP yield a better image than a 4MP-1/1.8 camera? Thank you!

    Totally confused about FPS/key

    Wowee! What a fantastic explanation of MP vs. Focal Length. So, ideally, (almost) every location would have 2 cameras (or maybe 3): wide to show as much as possible, and 1 or 2 optically zoomed for detail. So why would someone spend the money on a budget 4k camera instead of a 4 or 5MP...

    Totally confused about FPS/key

    Thank you. Quite a few are outside cameras and the higher resolution (greater detail) is very useful. Could you recommend 8mp/4K cameras in the sub-$200 range? Here's what it looks like:

    Totally confused about FPS/key

    Again, all new information -- I am tremendously grateful. I reconfigured all of the cameras that have the Frame Interval or Interframe Space settings to match the frame rate of the camera. I also configured the sub stream where I could. Pool (.76) is an RLC-410-5MP I63 (.63) is an RLC-422W...

    Totally confused about FPS/key

    Wow! Thank you so much! Everything in your post was new information (education) to me. I have a mix of cameras, including: ReoLink RLC-410-5mp Reolink RLC-810A SV3C (I think) MC500L-5mp SV3C MC400k-500w In addition to FPS and Resolution, the Reolinks have a "Max bitrate" and an...

    Totally confused about FPS/key

    I've read a bunch of threads and I just don't understand FPS, I-Frame and key. I understand the frame rate (FPS) can be set at the camera as well as in BI (Cam properties -> Video -> Max. Rate), but I can't find where to set the i-frame. Then I've read that I should set the i-frame so they key...
