585 Starvis 2 Vs 835 Starvis 2
I've seen both these sensors on Sony's site. I really can't figure the difference. Maybe the coating works better at night in some scenarios such as those with lots of competing lights such as found on roads. It would be nice to see CCTV manufacturers push the envelope though and maybe even...- CCTVCam

Get a dashcam. Period!
Some of these so called brake checks might be the European trend from a few years ago of "Crash for Cash", where people deliberately cause you to crash into the back of them, then claim it's your fault & make huge personal injury claims: ABI (Association of British Insurers report)... -
Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
I think the X varient has a better lens and maybe different processing due to the larger housing, or maybe I just got bad ones, Either way, mine are good in low light but disappointingly soft in the day, lack dof, useless at background capture (at least when using BLC) and lack reliability and... -
Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Loving the clarity. Would love to see this from CCTV. Unfortunately the bit rates are probably way too high. I'm guessing 100-200mbs making continuous 24/7 recording impracticable. I believe the camera itself has a 72mp CCD. The 72mp is either downscaled to 8K video or uses only part of the... -
Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
Just watched this on the last page, more hope, but several things began to stand out when you got further into the video. 1. The sports field in Taiwan showed artefacts in the grass - I'm thinking again the compression doesn't like high levels of detail 2. The video from Korea and the one... -
Dahua WizColor COMING SOON!
My fears / questions looking at this are: 1. Higher numbers of led's hinting at reliance on supplemental lighting rather than improved CCD performance. I personally never want to run LED's at night due to expense & the fact they potentially wear out / go dim when run continuosly. Are the new... -
Off-Road IR light bar
My guestimate number of hours used was based on 10hrs a day average, so less than your target. As I said above, having led's running continuously for this long probably equals their realistic lifespan. Any differences in claimed lifespan maybe attribituted to lab vs real world conditions ie...- CCTVCam

Off-Road IR light bar
Unless it's sensor controlled, I think 1/2 the issue is the sheer number of hours you're putting on these. If you say an average of 10hrs a night year round (less in summer more in winter), then you're looking at @ 3,650 hrs a year. For your ones bought in 2020/21, that's around 3.5 yrs or...- CCTVCam

Interesting Sensor Comparison
Comparison on YT here of the new Sony IMX 585 vs the Sony IMX 676 which was previously regarded as good in low light in what appears to be near total darkness. The difference is remarkeable. Unfortunately the video is only 720P & the darkness appears extreme looking at the noise levels and...- CCTVCam

Time to buy a body camera?
Body cameras are going to be very obvious. Only some hidden camera eg in glasses if well done will be un-noticeable. Question is why you want to record people? If it's random strangers, you'll only get yourself dragged into prosecutions as a witness if you get involved. If there's an issue... -
Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?
I think the US has a point about NATO contributions - every country should be honouring it's agreement to 3%. Trump is 100% correct on that. As for other funding such as the war in Ukraine, Europe has put in twice as much as the US, it hasn't been repaid either, and anything the US is putting in... -

I both do and don't see the point about NATO. Some draw comparisons with the Cuban Missile crisis in terms of provocation but there's a big difference - NATO is simply a defensive pact. Cuba was about putting nukes next to the US. I think if NATO decided to put short range nukes in Ukraine, then... -

They were ungrateful because you sold them out. Vietnam, you abandoned the country to the Communists because you couldn't win easily. You did the same with North Korea.

Russia loses 1200-1600 a day. Depper man power pockets maybe, but not disimilar figures. As I said, US appeasement. Stick in your own government and allow Russia to keep what it has to avoid conflict.......how did that go? It will be no different going forwards. The US is ultimately going to... -

I didn't see Ukraine invading Russia at the start of the war..... As for cost, it could have been over long ago if the West had initially supplied Ukraine with enough weapons and systems. It was the fact they were drip fed and the fact they were denied many systems such as Western Tguns, Tanks... -

As I've said numerous times, there won't be peace. Wherever there are settlements giving away land, ther is more war. Prime example atm, Israel / Palestine. All it buys is a few years whilst both sides rearm and then you get even worse conflict that you had orginally. History shows time and time... -

Then they should go back to Russia. Little Russia in New York is the home to the largest population of Russians in the US. The area is predominately Russian. Should they take over New York because they want to be Russian and the are is predominately Russian? How about if the Mexican or Cuban... -

Looking for low-light camera recommendation to use as navigation aid on a boat
Depening on your boats construction you also risk bi-metal corrosion of either the boat or camera housing is not properly physically isolated from each other, if they're different metals. Even bolts / screws can cause this although their are compounds available to coat and isolate the threads.- CCTVCam

You didn't learn much from WWII? The US tried to stay out and got attacked. Likely to happen again especially as it's easier with missiles these days. No need to float a flotilla off Hawaii anymore. After the EU the only major threat to communism and communist world domination is the US. The... -

UK / EU healthcare is paid for by taxes. Just take a look at the difference. We have 20% sales tax on everything but food and clothing. Our "Gas" (Petrol / Diesel) is far more expensive than yours because of taxation....and it continues. You could have free healthcare if many of your providers... -

It's not the balls that's mising. Europe is sewn up in a dictatorship. Cameras watch everything. The number of cameras in the UK is only behind China, and the Government is determined to prevent any kind of social backlash. Those involved in protests against immigration and even those posting... -

Avoiding war or appeasement? It's a greenlight for Russia to annexe anywhere it wants. Poland or Moldova are prime targets, Moldova because it has virtually no army and Russian bases already there becasue he's already annexed part as Transnistria. Poland because as one of the biggest ex-soviet... -

Depends how big your boat is. If you've ever watched the spectacle of haulover inlet on Youtube, you'll know how easy it is to get spray up to quite a height from even a modest wave if you bury the bow a little. I don't think you need an entire wave to wipe out the camera, just a bit of high...- CCTVCam
