    New BI PC setup question.

    Thanks @wittaj I did not know if the individual was technical enough to understand about security updates and what they provide. But your comments are accurate.

    Need some help from the seasoned vets, I can't look at any more data sheets.

    I used to be a event/wedding photographer, so I came to the security camera field looking for tack sharp images day and night. Thus my penchant for high MP cameras at first. But I have learned better now and am super happy with the images I record. I am hoping you will have a happy path to...

    New BI PC setup question.

    Windows 8.1 will receive security updates through 1/23 Windows 10 pro and home will receive security updates until 10/25 Some windows 10 will receive security updates until 2032 Some windows 10 have already lost security update support. So to say there is a universal date is an...

    New BI PC setup question.

    Turning auto updates off for the OS, firewall, BI, etc is the first thing I did. You might want to read the wiki, very informative I only update on demand. Not on some one else's schedule, that way I control all variables in play. Yes I do update, but in a controlled and well thought out way...

    Lost in the maze. Looking for help

    Yeah, your not dealing with black ops teams that have night vision IR goggles. Just perps that are desperate or just doing stupid things. Always try to install cameras in pairs for the super unlikely event that they may target one of your cameras. Besides, having cameras so high up makes them...

    The link you provided indicates no mic. You may have to reach out to the seller to confirm one way or the other

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Yeah, my porch is 10 feet deep, so need a close focus far better than 10.2 feet. I like the 5442 2.8mm as the close focus on that is 4.27 feet, so for me, much better specs in that area. I am shy to open up the camera in general.

    Note that the 2MP that you mentioned that may go into the babies room does not have a mic. So no triggers/alerts will be possible from sound. This may or may not be a concern, just mentioning

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    Sorry for any confusion, I should have been more precise. I meant this 'series' of camera So specifically the IPC-Color4K-X (IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED) 2.8mm (which I own 2 of these) and the IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED (which is being reviewed in this thread) The close focus of the IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HDW5849H-ASE-LED / IPC-Color4K-T - 2.8mm Turret

    I have 2 of the bullet Color 4/x and I have to say, they look like baseball bats coming off the exterior wall on the front of my house. So these could be a welcome upgrade due to being less protruding. I wish these models had a close focus that wasn’t so far away.

    Need some help from the seasoned vets, I can't look at any more data sheets.

    I have the 6MP 2.8 version of this camera. For indoor pet monitoring it is acceptable. At night it is for sure a little fuzzy when there is movement. Not impressed, but I bought it back when I thought that MP count ruled. No where near as sharp as the other cameras I have listed above. But the...

    Yep, barely available on Amazon at this time. And because the stock is low on that camera, they have jacked up the price.

    BI crashes, what camera settings does BI like, and does not like?

    No. I use my 12MP 1.7 sensor camera for wildlife captures as it does not compare very well to my 4MP 1.8 sensor for night time movement captures. Meaning I choose to have a better camera where security concerns may exist - which for night time movement captures between these two cameras is the...

    BI crashes, what camera settings does BI like, and does not like?

    I run BI with 16 cameras and most are 4MP. Several are 8MP and one is 12MP. I run 8000 to 12000 CBR bit rate on all of them for mainstream. All cameras are at 10FPS with I-Frame rate of 10. I have no issues, even with 4 continuous use clients and one dedicated monitor. It is all fluent, clear...

    Need some help from the seasoned vets, I can't look at any more data sheets.

    If a mic is indeed key (guessing it is!) then this is the same PTZ as above, but has no dome. But the trade off is that it does have a mic and it has the same specs as the dome PTZ I listed. It goes for $169...

    Not readily available on Amazon and no ratings. Not varifocal either, which at $279 I would expect a bell or a whistle...

    Are you ready for a EMP attack?

    He would push exlax if they would let him, but he is known as a radical, so this is one of the few companies that will pay him to be a front man

    Are you ready for a EMP attack?

    His music royalties are running thin. He is just plugging a product that is willing to pay him. Doubt he cares much about what he is plugging. Just needs to keep his current lifestyle going.
