    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    So after 2.5 years of working, camera now just has a black screen output with a date in the corner. Nothing was changed it just stopped working. I tried doing reset, including a button press reset. Still just black screen. @EMPIRETECANDY any ideas what might causing it, Is it economically...

    Dahua T/B5442 stuck in black and white mode even when it is bright enough

    Not really. I just let it do whatever it wants, when it is bright enough it is switching LED off. Since I use it in color mode at night, it doesn't really affect functionality. But it is annoying

    Just received IPC_5449T1P-ASE-D-3.2mm dual lens from Andy Most Impressed with the prompt service and the camera

    WOW pretty big difference. I have a few T5442T running in color at night (they are LED version but i think sensor is the same), and thought they were pretty good. But D2 is just so much brighter.

    Choppy Footage (In Motion) – 6 Empire Tech IPC-T5442T-ZE Mounted on RV

    What is FPS on stationary video? I have few 10 MP cameras running at 8 FPS. And passing cars do look similar to what you have in your stationary video.

    Just received IPC_5449T1P-ASE-D-3.2mm dual lens from Andy Most Impressed with the prompt service and the camera

    Can you share a picture of the Night street from T5442T , while forcing it to be in color? Is your D2 with matching sensor sizes (older model had 1/1.8" + 1/2 " sensors ) ?

    Choppy Footage (In Motion) – 6 Empire Tech IPC-T5442T-ZE Mounted on RV

    I think there are few possible factors contributing in. I think the codec on the Surveillance cameras are tweaked towards having a static image with a very few changes frame to frame. Dropping from 20 to 15 may actually increase the choppiness Seagate Skyhawk 6TB ST6000VX001 is a mechanical...

    Got a serial gum spitter any advice?

    Thank you all for the advices and sharing personal experiances. Talking is a bit hard since English is my 2nd language. I think I will either talk to him (maybe write a letter just generally mentioning someone throwing gum on my driveway) or talk to our Neighborhood Watch lady who actually...

    Got a serial gum spitter any advice?

    So I been finding gum balls on my driveway, i counted 20 of different freshness. Thanks to @EMPIRETECANDY cams was able to narrow it down to a neighbor 2 houses down the street. I don't know if it is hate towards us or he just randomly decides to spit here. I want him to stop, but don't want to...

    DS-2CD2686G2-IZS - 8MP varifocal - Bad 'Ghosting' video artefact

    My environment is 65% Dahaua, 30% Hikvision, and 5 % some other brands, I do like the web interface and menus on Dahua more compared to Hikvision.

    DS-2CD2686G2-IZS - 8MP varifocal - Bad 'Ghosting' video artefact

    Yea looking at other videos from you, the flicker does not look light-related. The glitches are so frustrating, and hard to debug! Dealing with Dahua cam right now that occasionally when encountering a moving person will cause a digital pixelated trail. Tried pretty much every setting, and...

    DS-2CD2686G2-IZS - 8MP varifocal - Bad 'Ghosting' video artefact

    Exposure 1/25 is a bit slow and will cause blur on moving objects. The freezing issue is very strange like at 16 secmark the whole frame is frozen. WHat are you using to capture and record the video ? Also what is the light source, cheap led lights are notorious for flickering on video...

    Any advice on access control system?

    I did come across ProDataKey but they are one of those companies who hide the prices very well. I was able to estimate hardware cost but subscription cost is still a mystery.

    Any advice on access control system?

    Yea it is a bit more complex than one door. it is 3 geographically spread locations, each location having 2-3 doors and a group of 20ish users who have different access levels at different times of the day to different locations and doors within locations. Managing everything under one system...

    Any advice on access control system?

    Hmmm looks like Axis a1001 is actually 2 door controller so making it about $350 per door while ZTK 4 door controller is 900 or 225 per door, but since it is 1 controller it will require bunch of wires going back and forth (card reader, door sensor, lock/unlock signal wires ) :idk: PS: the...

    Any advice on access control system?

    Hey guys, anybody has experience with access control systems. Looks like both Dahua and Hikvision have comparable systems, managed from SmartPSS, and Ivms-4200 respectively. Also i was looking at ZTK system since Nelly's security had a review, but official website is hard to navigate, hard to...

    Dahua Dash Camera

    I am surprised solder does not melt inside or image sensor not burning out . They got so hot to touch, it is impossible to hold them for longer then few seconds. But so far had 4 Matego mg380 (i think they are mg380) cams gong for 5-6 years still chugging along. Testing one Viofo 129 and 119...

    Dahua Dash Camera

    Also for California, Arizona and other hot states, SuperCapacitor is a must. Lithium batteries tend to bulge under a year and destroy cams.
