This camera intrigues me. It is a 2MP on a 1/1.8 starlight sensor. (60X Zoom with 500m IR) I interpret the sensor/MP ratio to mean night vision should be outstanding. However, I cannot find any footage anywhere on the web. Even Andy has no footage. Does anyone have this camera or is it just too...

Let me preface this by saying I am very much at a learning stage, so if I am off on a tangent, please let me know (gently). Some context: The goal is to have 3 to 4 viewing screens throughout a sprawling house. (Final view locations undecided, and future extensions of the buildings are...

I am confused about Dahua model numbers for their traffic cams. Perhaps someone could guide me? I am trying to learn about ANPR, and I am afraid I might make some expensive mistakes. I have seen this model at a good price: DHI-ITC237-PU1A-IRHL And I have seen this model as well: Dahua...

I am considering an external 13W IR illuminator. The supply voltage is listed at 12 -32Vdc or 24 Vac. Can this be fed directly from POE, or do I need a POE 12V splitter? I guess what I am asking is, with POE, is there some handshaking protocol that needs to be manipulated by the user device to...

I am learning more about this because I intend to trigger outside lights for humans instead of wildlife and dogs from IR-capable cameras. I believe SMD4.0 is the latest and greatest on-camera AI. I can also use limited channels on my NVR5208 EI in a mode listed as "SMD Plus" in the specs. 1...

Ok, so I put my toe in the water with an exploratory NVR5208-EI. I am happy with it, but it quickly became apparent I will need a lot more channels. My cameras will combine the better-respected cameras on this forum, so I expect about 60% of the channels will be 4K. (I want to use DAHUA...

I have a new Dahua NVR 8 channel, no POE, the latest EI version, and one camera, the Dahua Dual Lens 180 Degree Full Color 4K (8MP Stitched) Camera. The latest firmware on both. It is powered by POE switch and I can view it when I press the "e" here: I have edited this line to add the camera's...

With an NVR, can a spotter cam direct a PTZ to cover an activated zone and then direct it to another geographically different activated zone? In other words, can a single spotter cam direct a PTZ to cover multiple areas ( like the left area or the right area), or is there just one PTZ preset per...

From my DSLR days, the stated mm of a zoom lens had to be understood regarding its sensor size. In other words, the 35 - 100mm Zoom on a 4/3rds sensor gave approximately the same FOV as a 70 -200mm on a full-frame sensor. How does it work with IP cameras? For example: The SD6CE245XA-HNR is 3.95...

Cliff Notes quotation below: "They also offer NVR’s without PoE power that require a separate PoE switch to power the cameras. While more expensive, this allows greater flexibility, and makes it easier to directly access cameras." I am a Noob, but I would've thought that a POE-capable NVR would...

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum. I will be retiring to a rural setting in South Africa (from Ireland) within the next 18 months and figure I better get my domestic security ducks in a row. I have had a couple of bicycles pinched in Ireland over the years. Everything else in the country can...
