I highly recommend one after you gave me those settings. With the stock IR illumination after dark I can spot a raccoon at over 40 yards. I still need to do some facial testing, but my wife says I was easily recognizable at over 50' in total darkness with the stock IR.

I just wanted to publicly thank member Perimeter for giving me tips on setting the cams on my new system. I did not know where some of the cam adjustments were on the NVR now I see it is right there on the main menu. I thought I could only access from the right click function. I inadvertently...

Perimeter I just applied the changes and it really made an improvement. Thanks again for your help. I need to spend more time with the wiki here and get into the 300 plus page manual to get a better handle on the system. Just not familiar with the controls on the NVR, but your directions made it...

Thank you so much for those tips Perimeter, I will apply them today. I had to go and do some grocery shopping. I have the B5442E-Z4E, it is varifocal 8-32mm 4MP. Yes I understand about zoomed in objects not having the resolution and becoming blurred just like in astronomy or long distance...

So I have not figured out how to change the bandwidth. I'm only running 2 cameras now, each on it's own dedicated cable direct from cam to NVR. When watching the video stream every 3 seconds it "shifts" even though tree branches are swaying with regular motion the whole screen image does this...

I wish you luck. I just installed my system over the last few days. I was/am a little disappointed in the image quality during the day with the 5442 so when I saw the option to change the resolution the 30fps and the highest res, I chose it. Well don't you know I lost my video and had a near...

Thank you so much Tony! Appreciate your patience with a total noob at this.

Andy, I wanted to publicly thank you for getting all the equipment out to me in quick time. I just finished receiving all the junction boxes, all 3 if the bullet 5442's and of course already received the NVR. I have one of the junction boxes on an outbuilding already and am waiting on...

Take care of that wife! She is a keeper. You have the right attitude about what it takes to be happy. The solar panel idea is a good one, if you can snag a used Siemens commercial 250w panel it can last you quite a long time after it's retired from commercial service. The power output is...

2 days waiting in line! What a nightmare. So very very few people can operate the few vehicles that run on fossil fuel. At least you have electricity to charge the bike. I'm guessing the power is not always available either. I hope people are paying attention, that could happen in this country...

The helicopter I was crew chief of had patches on the fuselage from NVA gunfire. I was in from 81-84 so we were still using them for Dustoff missions out of Ft Lewis Washington. Nice to see another aviation veteran of that vintage, most of our NCO's were Vietnam vets and quite a few officers as...

Unfortunately lots of grifters gravitate to religion to ply their trade. Been going on for a long time and no signs of abating. How much is a litre of diesel in Havana?

Long time ago, my huey was down for phase maintenance. One of our new mechanics was sent out for a bucket of flight line. He came back after a loooong time very angry with an empty bucket. For those not familiar with military humor, extremely elaborate pranks are pulled on people all the time...

Are those my 3 cameras Andy???? I've received the NVR yesterday, guess it was on a different truck.

That is a huge help. I think I will start with the standard Purple. 8TB. When I get the PTZ I will add a Pro.

Thank you Flintstone61, I will check them out. Do you think the PRO rated drives are worth the investment?

Hi Andy, Thanks for the advice on the cameras and NVR. I look forward to receiving the shipment. I'm still on the fence on Western Digital Purple HDD or something else, there seems to be some quality issues at WD or some questionable resellers on one of the major sites (not you Andy). I have the...

"Since your username is Chango, I have to ask if you're into Santeria. Doesn't matter either way but I live in Cuba where it's very popular." CanCuba, Someone close to me used to practice Santeria. I have a background in religions and philosophy among other subjects. How are things on the...

Garycrist, Well I ended up buying 3 of the B5442-E-Z4E cams. I wanted the PTZ one but can't afford it now. I will need to find a wide angle for the front driveway (400' long) to see the UPS guys coming but first need to figure out how to set it all up and get it running, I have lots of foliage...

Thanks Tony, gwminor48, and CanCuba for the nice welcomes! I just ordered a system from Andy today and am looking forward to getting it up and running. I'm going the NVR route, I don't feel confident in my computer abilities to start out with Blue Iris without someone to guide me in person...

Thanks mat200, I read all those books many years ago....Big fan of Robert E Howard.

Lurked for a while and finally decided to join. Lots of great info here. Thanks to all of you. Chango
