WD Purple HDD sale
I use two WD Purple Pro 10TB hard drives in my NVR, and they have worked well. They were each $250 at Amazon. A couple weeks ago they rose to $260+ but have since dropped back down to $250. I'd definitely recommend them. -

Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...
Ha ha, yeah I saved up for a calculator for two years in high school when TI calculators came out. The choice was either a TI or a HP with reverse Polish notation. -

Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...
On some tasks Macs are always playing catch-up, however, I prefer using a Mac over a Windows machine. The best way to describe it is by taking a drive into San Francisco. In San Francisco, you can always see your destination, but just before you get there you’ll encounter a one-way street you... -

Questions on animal detection onT54IR-ZE-S3 and no push notification on DMSS app for animals
What resolution settings are you using for the 4K B180? Have you tried 4096 x 1216? It is much less distorted. -

As an example, the first pic is the settings for one of my 4K-X cameras, and the second pic is the settings for a 4K-T camera. -

IPC-Color4K-T 4K
When I had a couple of the older PTZ's (SD39225XA-HNR), I disliked having to alter the day/night settings each month using IE, so the little bit of pain of about 1/2 hour, entering the values for the schedule for these cams, seems not nearly as difficult. Someday I think I'll write an... -

IPC-Color4K-T 4K
It's also helpful to do a Google search of sunrise/setset times for your location (including when daylight saving/stadard times start and end). Type in the values for each month in the plan, and it will look something like this. -

4K-X 6mm uneven focus
Every situation is different, so using one camera will always be a compromise. I like to mix and match because each camera is unique and adds something that another might miss. As an example, I use four cameras for my driveway: Color 4K-T180, PTZ 5A4M-25x, Color 4K-X (6mm), and B54IR-Z4E S3... -

PTZ5A4M-25X IVS Issues
I was having the exact same problem with my camera. I climbed up on the ladder and did a factory reset of the PTZ, and that solved all the issues. I have since installed the latest beta animal software (build date: 3/17/25) from Andy, and it has been working great. Here is a screenshot of what... -

Why didn't I realize this sooner? (Color4K-T180)
One of the things that has always annoyed me regarding the IPC-Color4K-T180 camera is that the detection area only works well in the center of the camera. Anything to the sides—especially corners—is worthless for detection, whether it be an intrusion zone or tripwire. Raising the sensitivity... -

PTZ6C2M-45X vs PTZ5A4M-25X
I agree with the others above. If you don't have much light, the PTZ5AM-25X will work well. Here is an example with no added lights on my driveway--just the PTZ5AM's built-in IR. Also, the beta software of the animal firmware is working very well with this camera. -

PTZ Camera Recommendation
BTW, the tracking on the new camera (PTZ5A4M-25X) is amazing compared to the older PTZ. Here is a cat about 50 feet away yesterday that the PTZ tracked.- tmxv4128

PTZ Camera Recommendation
The new camera uses the same mount as the old camera. Very easy to swap out the old one for the new one.- tmxv4128

Error Msg when trying to access camera configuration
Hope someone can help me with this. I just installed a new camera with my Dahua NVR. No problems with that, but when I try to access the camera (on channel 2) to make settings via the web interface on my computer, I get the message: “Please use HTTPS to access” I have never had that happen... -

Bird deterrent for turret cameras?
Just wondering if any of you have suggestions for bird deterrents for turret cameras. Bird spikes work great at keeping birds off my PTZ cameras, but I haven't yet found anything that works equally well for turret cameras. -

PTZ Camera Recommendation
I just replaced one of my SD49225XA-HNR cameras this morning with a PTZ5A4M-25X. It is definitely worth the upgrade; but as others have mentioned, it is a beast! Mounting it was more challenging than the old camera because the cable is so much wider and stiffer. Pushing it up into the mount...- tmxv4128

Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something
Here is a pic of one of the cameras with a DIY windscreen. I used to do a lot of audio recording and had several black and gray windscreens for microphones that I could cut up and experiment using on the cameras.. For my black cameras I of course used the black windscreens, and for the white... -

Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something
I'll see if I can take some pictures tomorrow of the windscreens. It's raining hard here today on the California Coast. The screens are quite easy to make. If the cameras are out in the open I tend to use the foam windscreens, but it they are installed under a covered area (like a porch), I... -

Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something
I leave the volume at 75-80 for that particular camera, but since all of my cameras have windscreens, I am sure that attenuates a lot of the volume. I make windscreens from standard microphone foam windscreens and Rode DeadCat windshields. I attach them to the cameras with Command Strips. It... -

Best Dahua Front Door Camera recommendation 2025
I'd definitely agree with others that the 4M-T is a wise choice for the front door. I tried several cameras for my front door, and the 4M-T works well in low light at night, has a great sounding speaker, and features a good microphone too. Here is a quick demo of the 3.6mm 4M-T at my front door... -

Color 4K-T -- Day / Night... im missing something
I use AAC on all my cameras with noise filter "off." Volume at "95" Since I transfer the videos to Final Cut Pro on my Macintosh, AAC seems to work best.
