    WTB HD-TVI Turrets

    Looking for a few HD-TVI turrets. For use inside and outside at a church. 3 installed in a drop ceiling and 3 in an outside soffit. Currently have domes that look ok during the day but the dome is killing the image at night with IR.

    50+ cam install. Ideal video settings?

    On a bigger camera job with a purpose built NVR (LTS/Hikvision). What are ideal stream settings? H264 vs H265? FPS, iframe, VBR/CBR and bit rate? Thank you.

    What am I doing wrong?

    No OP. A few responses here that specify needing two cameras. What is the purpose? One for day and one for night? or are you referring to an LPR and an overview cam?

    Wifi PTZ that doesn't connect through an app

    This checks all the boxes assuming you don't need it outdoors. Looks like there is an app but you might not need it https://store.ipcamtalk.com/shop/amcrest-4mp-wifi-ptz-camera/

    Best/Easiest UI3 viewing

    I need to set up a local video feed for a user. What is the easiest/best/fastest way to deploy a solution to view UI3? RPi with kiosk mode browser? Tablet? Needs to be a standalone setup with no really user interface. Just needed to view the cameras. Thanks

    Reolink, Can't connect to UI.

    I have had a Reolink camera working with BI for the last 2 year. I experience the occasional no signal issues that are notorious with these cameras but a reboot usually fixes it. This past week BI shows the camera off line so as I usually do I go to the IP, sign in and reboot. Except this...

    Day/Night for LPR

    I will play around with the shutter speed. Thankfully I don't have to deal with motion. The car parks for about 30 seconds to unload expired food and then drives off.

    Day/Night for LPR

    Got him! Although dark, LPR was 86% confident of the plate number too. What settings can I change in the camera to help lighten this up for the next capture? Available settings from the camera menu are attached. THANK YOU!!

    Day/Night for LPR

    I installed the camera that I linked. But haven’t had a great chance to dial it in. I had someone stop by the other night and the image was pretty decent. The perp also hasn’t been back yet. Ha.

    Day/Night for LPR

    I read a lot of your posts. Thanks for being such a great contributor. I tweaked some settings, time will tell. This is a 4mp, 4mm LTS dome, I'm sure its not ideal. I also have one of these that I can try. The 12mm might get me a little closer. GW5050IP 5MP IP POE 4X Optical 2.8-12mm...

    Trying to obtain a license plate for a car that continually drops off food donation to our church. We are not a food pantry, do not have full time office staff, and they leave permissible food at 330am. They have also left trash before. Unfortunately we just have to throw it out by the time we...

    GW Security GW8555MIP

    did you get this figured out. I found that there is an IP search tool built for these cameras that will restore them to defaults. GW should have it on their shared google drive https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0Bw_lLf-_1mu1LU5IM1RHaEt5TE0?resourcekey=0-wpinWqDkjliOGQPAGHeOiA
