@tmcdiscord, this image of your site still leaves a lot of unknown areas you may be trying to cover; based on your initial post I was envisioning 360 coverage of a property. If you're only trying to cover the area shown in the image you posted it should be pretty straightforward to mount a...

+1 to what @wittaj said @tmcdiscord, just a heads up, what you're trying to achieve is not going to be obtainable with a one and done camera. I'm also unaware of any budgetary constraints you have but this is likely going to be a somewhat expensive venture. What I'm envisioning based on the...

@Clutch, this is of no help to resolve your issue but your post immediately made me think of this and gave me a chuckle; thank you for that. Coupling it with @looney2ns avatar made me smile even more... Cousin Eddie - Metal Plate - Christmas Vacation - YouTube

@EMPIRETECANDY, it may be a bit naughty to share, but hearing this made me a little tingly in the bad place. I'm very happy it worked out for you @BadKarma! GOOD WORK ANDY!!!

@camviewer43, I'm relatively inexperienced as it relates to IP configurations, but I've read copious amounts of material in this forum and will try to throw some information your way. Should any of the more experienced folks identify something I'm doing wrong, please advise so I can remove the...

@Tech_LA, I'm probably one of the more inexperienced folks here, but assuming it's recording the main stream some suggestions I have to help you attain your goal are: 1 - Lower the FPS until it's to jittery for you; perhaps 10-12 FPS; that alone should get you the storage you're looking for. 2...

@EMPIRETECANDY Andy, thank you so much for your input and for evaluating the image I posted! Just to be clear, I am very happy with the Color4K-T’s I currently own. I was primarily trying to provide information to @BadKarma about my experiences because it seemed to relate to a concern he had...

@BadKarma, FYI, I have the same "dots" in the images of all of my Color4K's. They're only really noticeable in the darker areas of my scene at night. I figured they were either hot/stuck pixels or dust and simply part of the manufacturing hiccups I'd have to settle with buying a new version of...

@camviewer43, the Color4K's have fixed lenses, not varifocal so there are no user adjustments that can be made. Perhaps there are internal alterations that could be done but those are beyond my skills...

@Ri22o, unfortunately sometimes there's no way to be sure other than to climb a ladder, set it up and compare the images between the cameras for a few days/nights. I have the T model, not the X, but based on my understanding and looking at your images, I think it would work well for you at that...

@IAmWatchingYou!, for additional clarification, I had a Color4K-T 2.8mm that seemed to have it's close focus set at about 18-20ish feet. I never opened it up to try to adjust it. I believe it was an early production unit and I recently exchanged it for another. The replacement I received...

@camviewer43 perhaps @DidyouDahua has more challenging lighting conditions than I do, but I thought you might like a sample video from the Color4K-T 2.8mm I have set up for overview in my driveway as a vehicle passes by at night. I'm on a residential street with a 25mph speed limit, but it...

I don't know much about bugs, but I imagine different bugs are attracted to different wavelengths of light so it may be very location specific. At my location I get a few flying things that occasionally flutter around the cameras. I just always hope probability is on my side instead of...

I set up an IPC-T5442TM-AS 2.8mm in my driveway as an "overview" camera. I have since replaced it with an IPC-Color4K-T 2.8mm and moved the 5442 to a different location and absolutely do not regret making the "upgrade." I feel the additional cost of the 4K-T is definitely worth it and in my...

Depending on your angle and light sources, incorporating a polarizing filter might help during the day. I'm not sure how it would affect performance at night, but I imagine it would decrease the amount of light reaching the sensor. Testing Polarizing Filters on HD Cameras (ipvm.com)...

Thank you @Rob2020. I’ve found most of the hiccups I’ve come across are not unique and I can find most of the answers to my questions by re-reading manuals, doing a thorough online search, or by re-reading various threads on this forum; but as everyone’s setup is different, sometimes I’ll come...

Yes sir, as am I; and now I feel as though I have the best possible chance of obtaining useful information in the unfortunate event something should happen. Especially with a combination of overview, identifying, and license plate cameras. The information you have repeatedly given to many...

Thank you. Reading between the lines of many posts, I can tell many here have the prerequisite training or experience to make setting up security cameras second nature; not me. It has definitely been challenging, but when I find success with a change or addition to the system, it is truly...

The DVR on my old HD-SDI system failed a couple of months ago causing me to delve into researching a new system. I consulted Dr. Google and Nurse YouTube for weeks and I read hundreds of threads on this forum, finally subscribing about a month ago so I could view photos and attachments. Due to...
