    Didn't seem to be in much of a hurry.

    1/2.9" vs 1/1.8" vs 1/1.2" Camera

    As already pointed out, the difference is night and day between 1/2.9" and a 1/1.8" or 1/1.2" sensors. I'm swapping out Dahua 2431 variants with a 1/3" sensor to Dahua 5449 1/1.8" sensors. Not only is the night image much, much better but the technology is much, much better on the newer/more...

    Remote/Wireless POE Switch?

    I don't use my Nano M5 for my cameras but my primary internet is supplied by through a Nano M5 from a distance of 2km away. As long as the antennas are aligned, the signal is flawless.

    EmpireTech 2024 Spring Sales

    How many other suppliers provide such great service and couple lotteries a year? Andy is the only one that comes to mind. Can't wait to start sniping the refurb list. Bought two refurb cameras off of him and never had an issue! Always a great deal!

    I Am A Security Camera Nut LOL! (Manitoba Canada)

    No kidding. To be honest, it would not have even occurred to me to be shopping for cams in a brick and mortar setting. Kudos to you, @Starpuss!

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    If you're dealing with inconsistent lighting, I'd go with the 5442 series. If there's not enough light any given night, it can go to IR. Too bad your neighbours aren't more open to more lighting. Pulled this off the 4K/X and 5449 last night. Going to drop both gain and NR a touch more on...

    Here's something a bit different. All done up with the proper decorations! I think I can drop the noise reduction another couple points more on the first camera (4K/X).

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I forgot to mention that I had my first complaint. She lives half a block away and says the light penetrates her window at night. She seemed a little "off" so I told her I would tilt it down a bit. Of course, I didn't (but would if she asked again) and haven't seen her again.

    New member coming from the Dark Side (Reolink & Wyze)

    Glad to see another Frigate proponent on here. I'm about to pull the trigger on a system to run Frigate and HA under Proxmox and also have it serve as a Kodi backend, among other things. Definitely getting at least one Coral as I want to run AI on at least 8 cams. Are we derailed enough yet? lol

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Ok, here's some nighttime images from the 5449s and 4K/X. 4K/X is my favourite for an overview cam if there's enough ambient light. I run my illuminators at 100% at night. I want people to know that there are cams present. Of course, the narrow focus of these cams means it's hard to use them...

    Worlds First Review - Dahua DH-IPC-HFW5449T1-ASE+D2 - Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I recently installed two 5449H-ASE-D2 dual lens cameras and a(nother) 4K/X. I'll post some pics in this thread later. But the 5449 is a great cam and I have two more headed my way this week. They will replace older 2431 (with 1/3" sensors) as did the first two 5449s and the new 4K/X.

    IPC-HDW5541TM-ASE-0280B-S3 loitering detection

    I don't have that specific camera but I do have a Color4K/X where I've had success with loitering detection. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/loitering-detection-on-a-color4k-x-with-alarm-moves-them-along.69960/ It does work great for people standing. Not sure if the algorithm will pick up...

    The wee fella terrorizing the Staffy mix. She's rarely on the defensive like this!

    Pet Collar Cam?

    My Staffy mix is turning 6 in a couple months and the little guy really grates her nerves at night. lol I wake up to her growling at 4am because he decided to go over to her bed and try to get her to play. Nah, 4am is for sleeping! Wife just got home from Spain and they were both excited to...

    Let's see what today holds

    Well, well, well. Look who made an appearance the other night. Same getup with the motorcycle helmet over baseball hat with face mask. In this shot, he's actually wearing flipflops, I kid you not. I have him on some other cams the same night but this is the best shot. He's on the far side...

    Pet Collar Cam?

    We have a 75 day old Chihuahua puppy. Absolute terror. The pic does not do justice to the bite marks on my arm and hands.

    Haven't posted anything here in a while but this caught my attention last night. Haven't put it through Google Lens yet to see what make and model. Any guesses? Color4K/X

    Gonna be a wet one today

    Everybody wants to live beside the water until the water invades their property. We're a couple hundred feet above sea level. No regrets when I see pictures like this! And this is my 'hood just closer to the water.

    Help me find a PoE Camera with a wide FOV (around 160 degrees+)

    The Dahua 5441 (BoobieCam) would be a decent option. Turrent mount with two individual lenses that can be oriented how you please. I installed one in my front entrance. I didn't need full 180 degree coverage but it is possible...
