    Alright, who dug up my yard last night?

    Looked out the backyard this morning and saw the grass was dug up. I had to find the culprit. There is very little light in my backyard at night. Over by the 180 degree camera, you do get some light from the streetlights. I cut out a lot of video and wanted to show how he entered and exited. At...

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    My HLC is not adjustable either. Also, WDR makes the picture too dark. I have four other cameras that I use for license plate reading. I have this PTZ up front so that I can manually zoom in on something that interests me.

    I have HLC on. I have had WDR on too. I will take a look at my settings as things keep going on and off when I try something.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    The menu is the same for my PTZ. It explains which each item does. The menu does not go into that much detail.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Found this link for Hikvision PTZ cameras. It shows how to set up the lighting etc. If you have a Hikvision PTZ camera you need to read this. I can see why I was having some problems getting this thing dialed in...

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Ok, I am closing in on the fine tuning. Just a tad more to go. I was in the middle of some light adjusting and a neighbor went by doing a slow trot. I did not realize that I had the camera light off at this time. Also, that is the reason that you can see all the holes in the stop sign post. With...

    Sensors used in Dahua cams

    If it is the camera I think it is, I say no. It is a good 4K camera. I have 6 of them. Four of them are 4mm, one 2.8mm at the front door, and a 6mm watching the street.

    Wood bracket broke on one of my license plate cameras.

    Put the license plate camera back up today. No damage done. Here is a plate photo.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Here is a picture from last night. I turned on the camera white lights to see how that would work out. With those lights on I am able to use a 1/120 shutter speed. I need to play with it tonight for a fine tune. I think there may be too much light or a higher shutter speed is needed. I am...

    Wood bracket broke on one of my license plate cameras.

    The camera recorded the downfall. Luckily it is still working. Another job for tomorrow. :D It may have taken some stress during the installation of my Hikvision PTZ camera, and I did not notice it.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Some things are the same as the Dahua and others are not. Some items have like 10 options with some of those that I have no clue about. So, I need to read up on them. Yes, the manual is online.
