    A covert install there. Mine will be bolted to the end of a building and might/will stand out a bit :(

    Better camera suggestion

    I was hoping to stay full colour as I have some background light. I don't believe there is a (reasonably priced) varifocal full colour camera (1/1.2")?

    IPC-4K-X Number plate at 20-25m

    Thanks for the images Ri22o :thumb: The 4K-X is a definite no. I could possibly get away with a 4x zoom, as UK plates are definitely more legible than US ones. The 12x would definitely work. What's the downside of the 12x over the 4x? I assume there isn't a full colour low light 12x camera...

    Better camera suggestion

    Thanks for all the replies. Ideally I would like to identify people entering/walking down my driveway (and possibly my neighbours driveway - over the fence) I'm happy to keep the existing camera as a crude overview camera (it has detection alerting setup). The distance from the end of the...

    IPC-4K-X Number plate at 20-25m

    Hi all, I'm considering a IPC-4K-X bullet camera (or turret) to be used to film cars/people. There is some background ambient light (from a street light) so a colour cam should be ok. The question is whether this camera is suitable for recording the number plate at about 20-25m range. The...

    Better camera suggestion

    I was looking to get a 4KT (2.8mm) and mount it about 15' up, pointing down the drive towards the road. I was thinking of using that as a more close up camera. Is it possible to get a a 4K-X with zoom, I'd use that to replace the existing cheap 2MP camera?

    Better camera suggestion

    Hi all, I currently have this "cheap" 2MP camera mounted under my eaves (two story house), with a separate IR illuminator (mounted next to it). At night there is always a little background light. As you can see the image is poor. Can anyone suggest a dahua or hikvision replacement that would...

    Dahua VTH and VTO features??

    Hi there, Thanks for the reply/clarification. I'm looking to replace an old/failed system where the video is constantly displayed on screen (this is how it used to function and ideally needs to be replicated). Which VTO/VTH do you have? I was also looking to add a second camera (potentially...

    Dahua VTH and VTO features??

    Hi all, Is it possible with the Dahua VTHs to have it display the camera feed 24x7 (even when the intercom button hasn't been pressed)? If so, is it possible to get it to display a secondary camera feed all the time and switch to the VTO camera when the button is pressed (and then switch back...

    New system requirements/questions

    Hi all, Apologises if these questions get asked all the time, I've tried doing research but ended up going around in circles... :( I'm after a replacement video intercom system, nothing fancy. A remote door station and an internal monitor. I have CAT6 cable running to the remote station (which...

    Newbie needs help - Which camera?

    Hi all, I really appreciate all your replies :thumb: The camera will be used for detecting people and ideally capture their details/face (I appreciate 41' is a long way to do this). There is some background light at night, it's not pitch dark, so if a camera's night vision is good enough...

    Newbie needs help - Which camera?

    Hi all, I have an existing camera (cheap/unbranded 2MP) mounted under my eave (2 story house) with an external IR illuminator next to it (I installed this initially to stop spiders building webs over the cameras internal IR (this is disabled now). The image quality at night is quite poor (the...

    Another 5442 or 5842 or Colour4K-X or the new Colour4K-T question...

    Hi all, Apologises for the newbie question (which has been ask 1000 times before). I have gone around in circles trying to decide which cameras would best suit my needs. :banghead::banghead: I currently have two generic branded 2MP bullet cameras mounted up under my eaves (my house is two...
