I'm getting a SWNHD-1200DE tomorrow and I'm hoping to seamlessly add it to Blue Iris.

Upon reading some threads, I learned that it may be more difficult than I had expected.

I learned that when reading this thread


Anyone have any experience with Swann cameras lately?

Thanks!

You won't find many here buying Swann. Most come here after they have been burned by them and looking for better cameras.

12MP and they don't even give sensor size? Probably on a sensor designed for 2MP.

See this thread for the commonly recommended cameras (along with Amazon links) based on distance to IDENTIFY that represent the overall best value in terms of price and performance day and night.

The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection

This is a pot of gold.

Thank you heaps for this!

Will sit down and review this before purchasing!

My goal is to find a camera that can detect car's license plates as theyre driving past my home.
