    Video from clients house hit by tornado last week

    The way it just peels the roof off of the garage, that's crazy.

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    These are with my older Z12E as LPRs. I would say they are comparable to 4MP.

    PTZ choices, best for low light

    Having a 4MP/2.8 Mini-PTZ, of the two choices, I would definitely go 2MP/2.8 over the 4MP/2.8, no question. However, I would try to justify the PTZ5A4M-25X at 4MP/1.8 in any way I could.

    A Skycam Double Rainbow

    It's hard to see the second rainbow, but we had some storms roll through yesterday and I was able to capture a pretty nice rainbow last night. You can just see the second rainbow to the right and left.

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    Here is a post from @wittaj with the differences from the Z12E to the Z12E-S2 https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/mini-review-5241-z12e-s2-replacement-for-the-5241-z12e.71898/#post-791768

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    The Z12E-S2 is an updated version of the original Z12E. Edited for -S2, I have been saying -S3, but that's the 5442 turret.

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    Unfortunately that's the problem with the 5442, once you use them you don't really want to use anything else. Due to the form factor, I installed a wedge next to the door for ID, I would much rather have a 5442 there and may eventually end up switching it out when I have nothing else to do, but...

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    It's not a fair comparison as I am still working on the settings for the Z12E, but it does show that the 2MP is still capable of good detail at that distance. My thoughts were right zoom for the job and night time performance. The Z4E is maxed out, but I can see what I want to see, so it works...

    Does a 4-5MP version of the HFW5241E-Z12E exist with large sensor?

    This is my Z4E at approximately 60ft. And my Z12E-S3 at approximately 95ft.

    Problem with PTZ settings in BI

    Deactivate the trigger on all but one, don't try troubleshooting this issue on more than one at a time.

    Problem with PTZ settings in BI

    How much time are you waiting between each instance of clicking "Trigger Now"? If you have too many cameras calling the PTZ to a preset, it could be an issue if one call-to needs to time out before it will accept a call-to from another camera. Have you made sure the presets have been imported...

    PTZ installation questions.

    Mine is mounted on the first floor soffit, approx 11-12' high and 20-25' from the street. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/more-sd4a425db-hny-captures-from-the-1st-floor-this-thing-is-a-beast.70131/ Keep in mind, PTZs need to be suspended. So in order to mount it to the flat top of your pole you...

    Added Substreams & Now PTZ Does Not Work

    Did you edit the permissions for the users? I don't know if this affects Find/Inspect but you need to give users PTZ control.

    Added Substreams & Now PTZ Does Not Work

    I am guessing it isn't pulling in the correct information, then. Try what I mentioned above with defaulting the camera, and give it another go. @wittaj sometimes has luck with resetting the ONVIF user in the camera UI, but I have never had luck with that.

    Added Substreams & Now PTZ Does Not Work

    I have had random issues, mostly with my PTZ, when running Find/Inspect that BI cannot pull in the correct information for the camera. I have had a perfectly fine and working camera, make a change, run Find/Inspect, and it messes it up. When this has happened I will make note of all of my...

    Added Substreams & Now PTZ Does Not Work

    What happens when you run Find/Inspect? Does it find the correct camera? You may need to change the setting in the PTZ drop down on the PTZ tab.

    Did you change Mode to Manual? If it says Auto you will have no control over shutter/exposure.

    PTZ Motion Tracking Setup

    Tracking is caused by an IVS trigger being tripped. The IVS rules only exist while the camera is parked at a preset that has them. Here is a thread with a video and information on how my PTZ tracks after being called to a preset by the spotter...

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    That's my thought with the one I have in the car. It may not put the fire out, but it will hopefully give a fighting chance of survival.

    This overlay randomly applying itself

    I found even with it off that when I would take snapshots from the UI3 interface that it would apply it. I just delete it now when setting up a new camera.

    Looking for a setup to satisfy my wife's bird watching addiction

    Andy has refurb NVRs and cameras on his site quite often. They're good as new (most are actually still brand new) and carry the same? warranty. No reason to not save a few dollars. https://empiretech01.com/collections/refurbished-products-1

    Recommendation for suitable cams from Dahua oder Empiretech for our property (floor plan included)

    Camera cost is about the same, if not cheaper for the non-180 fixed/varifocal T54IR cams, but ultimately you end up with more cameras because each one has a specific job and a specific FOV. I started with a Lorex system. I bought and installed a Lorex analog MPX system. They were 2MP cameras...

    New Member, long distance application

    I don't know what you have for a flag pole, but the top of the 20' flag pole in my front yard will easily move 3" in the wind and would be a horrible idea for mounting a camera. One camera cannot do it all. You cannot see everything and still see details. Getting good details does not allow...

    Cable testing equipment.

    How are you wanting to test? I use the Gardner Bender version of this on every cable I make and every run I punch down and terminate. All it does is show continuity, but that's enough for me. https://a.co/d/a6vRh0E

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    I can grab them later. I don't have any with snow + sun. For some of my other cams I do run them at .18-.2 or so on the low end to keep them from darkening too much when there is a lot of snow.
