    Ordered Sony SNC-VB770 Image Sensor Size 35MM :)

    Tracking shows Saturday. I've lusted after this camera for YEARS. Really hope the dual stream thing can be sorted out. Doing DS or motion on an 8 mp image would make my CPU jump from the current 4% to 30%.

    Day 4 and it still hasn't shipped.

    I think the next thing is to try the latest firmware version. Other than that, since it doesn't match the owners manual, I'd start thinking it's a hardware defect.

    @tech101 check your output mode The manual mentions something about fps limits if you're also outputting to hdmi....even if you don't have an hdmi cable plugged in.

    @tech101 What is your output mode set to in the installation tab?

    Definitely not right. Surprised it can't at least get to parity with the 770 screenshot. Are you on the latest firmware?

    The 770 manual literally shows a screenshot with the 4k Image 1 codec at 10 fps with Image 2 also enabled. Try not enabling image 3 but just 1 and 2 and lower the bitrate of the 4k image 1 down to 16kbs just for kicks. i.e. can you get to the same screen shot shown in the owners manual?

    Ordered Sony SNC-VB770 Image Sensor Size 35MM :)

    Wow! That may be a deal breaker for me and this is not something that is disclosed in the user guide. I wonder if this could have contributed to low sales and it ultimately being discontinued. Are you on the latest firmware? What if you lower the bitrate? Does that add higher framerates in the...

    The 635 supports 3 streams. I have two enabled. The 770 is supposed to allow 5 streams:

    It must support it. My 2 year older 635s do.

    Geez, you got me beat (currently 18)....although some are in the attic on the off chance I ever get a rodent intrusion again. 4 of them are auto tracking(2 hikvision, 1 dahua, and 1 sunba) which gives quite a bit more coverage than non tracking. I'm not sure running it at night will extend the...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the IR illuminators won't work fore the 770 since it's IR cut filter doesn't retract, right?

    There's ONE open box 635 for sale on ebay for $975. Being before the 770 doesn't really mean anything in context as it's not comparable to the 770. The 635 was a $600 camera that eventually became deeply discounted (hence the reason I got mine for $300) and now costs way more than the original...

    That's cool. I doubt the seller knows to reset it unless a factory reset does it. Hopefully a factory reset leaves it alone.

    I figured. I also figure that if it's going to fail it'll likely be in the first 70 hours. I bought my two spotters, SNC-VB635's, open box as well 7 years ago and they've been flawless. Same user interface as the 770 plus some additional features. Funny thing is I bought that's 635s for $300...

    Just ordered the 770 with the 24-70 mm lens for $2K on ebay. Claims to be a new open box unit. Should be here next week. Do these units have any sort of usage hourly odometer so you can tell if it's really been used or not?

    I know we're not comparing apples and apples, but one thing the Hikvision does incredibly well is it can spot adjust the exposure of things like headlights so no matter how bright and direct the headlights are, front license plates are always visible.

    That is stunning. Your shutter speed is really fast. In my case, I'm at the bottom of a cul-de-sac, so I wouldn't need shutter to be as fast so I could close aperture some increasing DOF. I have two Hikvisions that track but they miss about 20% each which leaves about 5% of the time that...

    Never mind. Answered my own question. It has motorized iris control with full auto, shutter priority, and iris priority. In looking at the sample videos, there's a lot that can be done to tune this if you want good number plate capture. Set auto gain to max, close iris to about f4, decrease...

    Does this mean you have to set the iris as well? If so, then you can't use it for day and night without adjusting it. It must have auto iris.

    The light above the garage is probably 100x brighter than you need to get clear pictures at night. Look at all the samples on youtube in fields in complete darkness with just starlight.

    Warning Blue Iris Update 5.5.9.4 Might Kill DeepStack

    Thanks. I just upgraded to the latest 2022 release without uninstalling the 2021 release and it's all working again :)

    Warning Blue Iris Update 5.5.9.4 Might Kill DeepStack

    I updated to 5.5.9.6 from whatever I had about 3 months ago (which is the last time I updated) and DS completely stopped working. Rebooting the entire PC made no difference. Installing to the latest stable update 5.5.8.2 made no difference. I'm currently without DS working at all. Every thing...

    Sentry Smart Alerts is too expensive for me

    DS is a million times better and the open source community is evolving it quickly.

    Cant get Deepstacks to recognize anything

    I've never had any issues with motion detection or deepstack object recognition with any of my 5 Reolink cameras. I do have to set the pre-recording buffer to a lot longer given the longer interval between i-frames if I don't want to miss the beginning of motion events. Other than that, motion...

    Complete Smart Tracking failure with newer firmware before and after vidoes.

    I'm going to make the videos public on youtube and point out Hikvisions response. A bit of egg on their face that they're saying the newer updated version of the the DS-2DF8236 doesn't work as well as their previous years production.

    Complete Smart Tracking failure with newer firmware before and after vidoes.

    Hikvisions response to me is that the camera that I'm experiencing tracking failures on, even though it's the same series is not exactly the same hardware. The 1 year old newer one I have is the more expensive laser model which is the one that is failing. They said that camera doesn't track as...

    Complete Smart Tracking failure with newer firmware before and after vidoes.

    FYI, I just re-enabled comments on those two videos. For some reason if I have them listed as made for kids, it turns comments off so I changed to "not make for kids" but not age restriction. I guess the other way is the new default.
