    Odd camera behavior

    This morning, I woke up to one of the PTZ cameras displaying invalid password screen on the monitor. I log into the NVR GUI and try to reconnect it by re-entering the password, no luck, it still showed the same screen. I then click the E icon to log into the camera's GUI. The camera log in...

    Current 2mp two-way talk turret camera?

    Does Dahua currently sell a 2mp two-way talk camera? I want to use it for the front door to tell salespeople and con artists that we're not interested in your overpriced solar crap, religious paraphernalia, and NO the house isn't for sale without opening the door. Would like to do it over my...

    IR filter issue?

    One of my LPR B52IR-Z12E-S3 cameras is sporadically switching off the IR filter during the day, image goes pink and then switches IR filter back on. The anomaly only lasts a second or two and then it is fine for days. It may not do it again for a week or more, but eventually it does repeat. Is...

    PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X

    Obviously, there's the zoom factor and the sensor size difference, but why would you choose one over the other? How do they compare performance wise?

When there are multiple notifications, if you click one of the unread to view and then come back to select another, they are all marked as read even though you did not read them.

    MS strikes again

    Typical Microsoft updates, implementing an update to add useless features while severely reducing functionality of the basic core design. While this really has nothing to do with security camera systems per se. Micro$oft is hell bent on taking a perfectly fine working operating system to add doo...

    Property marker LPR camera

    After seeing the mailbox camera LPR thread, I had a thought to design a property marker post LPR installation at the end of the driveway using a varifocal turret camera hidden in a vinyl fence post designed to look like a number marker post. Camera is a used Empire tech IPC-T54IR-ZE that I...

    Fixed lens turret smaller in size than a varifocal?

    Just received my first EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 fixed lens 3.6mm turret camera and first thing I notice is that the camera housing is quite a bit smaller that the EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE I have. The second thing I notice is the mount is completely different. There really is no way to lock the...

    Camera suggestions for dark areas at night

    I searched but couldn't find anything on my specific request. Anyway, my overview camera for my LPR East camera is in a low light area at night, facing an unlit intersection 150 feet away. There is only ambient lighting from homes along the street. The next intersection down the road has a...

    I have 2 SPTZ cameras that have been having freezing video feeds and going black intermittently lately. They both are powered with 12-volt power supplies which came with the cameras. It seems to be more prevalent when the outside temperature drops below 50 degrees. Do you think it could be the...
