    @tech101 Way earlier in the thread you said you were going to try "4k multistreaming" in the Installation tab. If the output mode is NOT set to this, the View-DR setting will be grayed out and it will be checked or unchecked based on the last time you selected it (but disabled regardless). If...

    I happened to be looking back at this thread for something and realized that the WDR box in your photo IS actually checked on but grayed out. When I first glanced at it, I didn't see the check inside the box but it is there. So for whatever reason, your WDR is forced on.

    I'd first just do a "backup setting data" in the System/Initialize tab and then factory reset the camera and see if you the WDR setting comes back and if you can turn on stream 1 and 2 with 10 fps. If it doesn't work, then you can at least restore so you don't have to spend a lot of time fixing...

    So not only is it not selected but your WDR is disabled for some reason? How odd.

    @tech101 , is your Wide Dynamic Range setting on in the Picture tab? If so, that will lower your max to 5 FPS if you use a substream.

    Ran another test but below the cooling activation threshold so that just the circulating fan is going. This results in a 14F difference between the interior and exterior. This means the true cooling capacity is 24F which is far more reasonable.

    So good and bad news. The bad news first. The enclosure doesn't cool as much as advertised. So either the advertised cooling requires special conditions or my ebay Cooldome is defective. It's able to cool interior down 14 degrees. For example, if it's 104 degrees in a room, the camera running in...

    It's here. Bench testing it now. Fan draw without AC is 8 watts. With AC it starts at 180 watts and settles down to 160 watts within a minute. Initially the thermostat with a hair dryer just to make sure it comes on. Now it's sealed with a SensorPush wireless temp sensor to log the temperature...

    Ordered it from 123Security... the same company that previous canceled my s-type tornado order. I ordered the aluminum arm for $143 total (shipping included) and the plate for $21 + ($20 shipping) for a total of $41. Just a bit higher and I would have tinkercaded one myself and printed it.

    Ugh. So even though the mounting plate is $24 on the dotworkz store, the cheapest shipping is $50. Looks like I'll be 3d printing a plate. Edit: it seems they have a minimum shipping charge no matter what you buy. The smallest replacement part has a $50 shipping charge.

    I ended up ordering 12v Cooldome after all. Bought from ebay still wrapped in plastic. I made a $250 offer and they accepted it. I called Dotworkz first to make sure I could still get the regular aluminum arm which is $127 and the camera mount plate $25. Since I'm mounting the power supply...

    123Security refunded my order and said the product was no longer available. I checked their site and it still showed but was now $104 more at $596. They then clarified that it was no longer available at that price. So I went to the next site that had the $492 price...

    I ended up ordering the Dotworkz ST-TR-POE+P-SS which powers the blower and still passes through POE+ for a camera. i.e. the camera is powered by POE+ as well as the blower from a single cable going into the enclosure. Although there's a heater that comes on at 40F, the enclosure is not...

    The literature says it's thermostatically controlled but nowhere does it say what the setpoint is or if it's adjustable. I'd consider it if it wasn't just pulling a full 144 watts 24 / 7 even in the winter but given there's no mention of what the temperature it controls to or if it's adjustable...

    @tech101, which cooldome do you have 24 or 12vdc? What power supply are you using? Have you measured how much power it actually draws on a hot day? I assume when it's cool enough in late fall, winter, and early spring that it doesn't consume any power? Is there a thermostat you can set?

    So not sure, but it appears the s-type tornado does not exchange any air with the outside. It just circulates air inside the enclosure to ensure the heat is evenly distributed which will help but given how much heat the sony gives off, the inside of the enclosure might exceed 122F when it's 110...

    Dotworkz has the highest prices if you buy from them. ST-TR-POE+P-SS is $733 direct and less than $500 everywhere else.

    Looking at the dotworkz Tornado Dual POE. I don't really need active cooling since it will be in the shade and the ambient temperature outside will never come close to exceeding the rated operating ambient temp. The max operating temp is 122F. My 635s are 140F and are in enclosures with no...

    The dotworkz store appears to no longer exist. Just errors out. Doesn't appear that the company survived the pandemic. Edit: Up intermittently. I called them and they said they're having issues with their retail site at the moment and not to read anything into it.

    Using the stock 24-70 mm lens that came with it. In my testing last night it is more than sufficient to cover the cul-de-sac and capture license plates out to about 200 feet. My trackers can get the plates all the way to the top of the cul-de-sac about 400 feet away but that really isn't...

    10 fps is what I'm using on all my cameras so I'm used it. 5 fps would be too slow. Tried CBR which made no difference in allowed fps. It increased bitrate without any improvement in picture which is why I tend to use VBR. So far, the main difference is your firmware. I'm very hesitant to...

    Did just run into one problem. I unplugged the camera for a few hours and then plugged it back in. No changes at all from me but the framerates of both streams in the settings changed to 5. I was able to change back to 10 and all is working, but it appears a power loss will cause the settings to...

    I had no issues with setup in BI. I basically just copied exactly what I have for the VB635s and it all worked fine the first time including the substream. Total CPU with all cameras is hovering around 4.5% for BI on this computer which which is running on on i7-8700 that I bought back in 2017.
