    Latest Sony Sensor List

    Exactly - and if you add a Hi3559x to it it'll have an SoC that's affordable to combine with those pixels. :'( I wouldn't count on Hik or Dahua giving a f about when we see this sort of stuff... but companies that have to let the prowess of the components to make the case for the supremacy...

    BEWARE of SMTSEC 4k camera

    Here's what I don't get (but I DO appreciate that someone has started a review... and you covered many topics) -- how can this be the case... when they don't really make any of the parts... they're kind of like Dell, or HP; they BUY the lens from a company... and surveillance lenses are...

    SmartPSS saves 1 hour off from selected times?

    Hey Jmcu... I see you have the: - SD6AE830VN-HNI - NKB 3000 ...I'm going to get 1 each of the laser and IR versions of those cameras (placing my order today). Did you: - Get the US version or the chinese version? - How much did you pay for them? - I [assume] you can use the NKB-x000...

    SmartPSS saves 1 hour off from selected times?

    Okay, problem kinda resolved; you have to use Dahua's "Smart Player" (Windows or Mac as appropriate) with the .DAV file extension. You just have to get used to ignoring the real time (as the OP says) and work off of it, an hour back. This made for some VERY, VERY anxious moments... as my NVR...

    SmartPSS saves 1 hour off from selected times?

    And this assumes you'd only want one hour! What in the HELL?? Is there any other way of saving video??? What an ABSURDLY pathetic error; the only VALUE of an entire surveillance system... is the ability to KEEP, export, and show, events -- irrespective of length. Problem emerges in April and...

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    Thanks dude. Appreciate that. I'm going to assume it's effing EXORBITANT. When NONE of the websites in that industry... include cost!? I don't imagine it's a price their proud of... since they want you on the phone. And this isn't a make or break issue, it'd just be cool. CERTAINLY not worth 50...

    Does Dahua just use ONVIF-S to connect to Dahua NVR ?

    That makes sense -- basically, some have greater depth of "dictionaries, know the idioms, vernaculars and metaphors better." :) Yes?

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    CLOSE actually. I own a small computer store, where EVVVVVVERYONE says they need to talk to me and only me. lol. but when I'm not there, people will also tell my staff that I agreed to things that I wouldn't agree to if I was under general anesthesia! So I can't WAIT to have A/V to jump on an...

    Does Dahua just use ONVIF-S to connect to Dahua NVR ?

    Totally confusing... Cantonk says I can't use H.265 because ONVIF doesn't support it... But Dahua connects via ONVIF ... AND gets H.265. How can the problem be ONVIF for others, if not for any? So weeeird.

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    I'd say I'm really asking -- is whether I should risk the international version camera (Dahua) -- instead of using the model I have. Build quality / reliability Compatibility with a Dahua (updated firmware) NVR. Whether H.265 on the Dahua would crush the H.264 on the Uniview Ju know mang?

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    I get you --- but my goal wasn't to cross check it against my NSA database. ;) It was to know when VIP customers are in... to ensure they're handled properly... And when scammers are in - to 86 them if appropriate, deny service, or call the police. Thats all... basically, I'd have to name...

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    This Dahua looks like it tracks nicely. :) Looks like the Uniview X-22 has a nice image... (I'm still laughing over falling for their BS face detect. BUT, to their credit... they follow their own naming convention.

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    That makes SO much more sense. And, actually, I was floored when I saw that spec -- but just thought that while I wasn't looking - and running my tech biz... that companies knew how to (NOT compare against DB of names) differentiate the people who visit your location! But... if that, too, is an...

    YES, it's overkill... can I tell the SD6AL830V PTZ to follow people?

    I don't need it to recognize faces of people I don't know - but of people I categorize in my systems as being important to notify me as a black list, and high priority list for my VIP customers. Not practical? None of them work? :'(

    Buying Dahua IP cams (4th camera setup) (...and I thought the cheap man only paid twice).

    as oth When you say not bad, if it were you, can you give examples of different manufactures? AND, are all these Dahua going to use ONVIF? Because this other company precisely said that the reason their H.265 didn't work was because it was ONVIF instead of having native support for the NVR I'm...

    What's LESS work for the camera? LOW bit rate? Or higher?

    I understand that the image processor will work harder to capture all available photons rather than to pump the gain.... BUT, the H.265 codec will work hardest when it is shrinking the data the most in my humble (truly) assumption, no? Meaning... while the highest VBR will be the greatest...

    Dahua Facial recognition from multiple cameras...

    Can I AGGREGATE the facial recognition of all my smart feature enabled cameras? Can there be a central repository, saved, in which I NAME the people who've been identified? Can I set up alerts when certain people are recognized?
