    screwed up my installation a little

    I bought the IPC-T5442T-ZE for its Varifocal capabilities and my venture to get into cameras around the house for surveillance.

    screwed up my installation a little

    I have this guy, IPC-T5442T-ZE, soI believe it supports flipping the image, as I saw it in the settings.

    screwed up my installation a little

    I went out there and walked around. Watching on my phone I was able to see decent, but my recorder was crashing so I couldn't get saved footage. Separate issue I need to solve. I heard your suggestion loud and clear which is why I went out there. Once I capture some footage, I will share it...

    screwed up my installation a little

    agreed. So I went out and tweaked it a bit for the better, I think. So before, I had it faced more to the right to capture this lower corner onto the entryway. The thinking was that if an intruder crawled up there I would miss them. Well, what freaking robber is james bonding to the door...

    screwed up my installation a little

    Good idea, I'll give this a shot. I guess there's a bit more to the testing than reviewing the image on the computer while holding and testing positions in the middle of the day.

    screwed up my installation a little

    I did under 7' as suggested in the wiki. Perhaps it's deceiving as the walkway is a step down so the walkway itself would be just over 7` and the doorway area under.

    screwed up my installation a little

    Curious, if the wall wasn't there, would it change the overall image? Discussing with the wife, because it is in the doorway she says it is where she wants it. Plus, now there is a hole in the wall, so there is not a ton of moving. If the image itself of the yard wouldn't change, I won't fret...

    A reason to add one more camera

    curious, how much is a good LPR? I only have one camera so far, but I showed this and some LPR footage to my wife and she says get one. We recently had some car theft on the street and it seems one of those my allow me to crack the case...

    screwed up my installation a little

    so, one thing I did not account for was IR flair (if that's the technical term). Installed during the day and then night came. Things are still decent but curious how much I can do to make it better. Also, because it is my first cameral, maybe I am overreacting. I tried shifting down and...

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    camera 1 installed. I am off and running on my journey now. Only question is, did I F up putting the camera slightly farther back. I asked the wife where she preferred it and she said closer to the house. Now I am curious if I will have issues with IR flair. I guess I will know tonight...

    Mount box

    Shoot, ok. That's what I thought. Gonna order the dahua one. I see the mount plate and how it has tons of holes for mounting.

    Mount box

    Is it necessary to use camera specific mounting boxes from dahua or can you use one of these? What's the difference?

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    How does one edit shutter speed in the camera? Also, what do people prefer, vbr or cbr?

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    OK, so I got my first camera and I started to get things set up. Changing the framerate etc. I assume it will be best to use that service tool that flips the camera from day to night? Or is it not necessary if the camera is flipping to black/white when in the dark? Are there any recommended...

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    Excellent, thank you. I think I will steal the injector from one of my APs until I get a new switch.

    Trying to determine my path into cameras around my house

    My Camera comes tomorrow is it poe only (need to get poe switch still) or can you power inject as well? Want to be able to test and start figuring out as I order up a poe switch.

    Dahua vs unifi

    Makes sense. From my talks in the unifi community, it seems the g4 pro is the closest equivalent, but the price is crazy. At least that is how I understood it anyway.

    How do I make an IP address permanent?

    You can also set a reservation in your router to always assign a specific ip to a specific Mac address (camera)
