    Looking for affordable NVR, POE not needed 4-6 cameras

    Up to you, they are more versatile. You don't have to use them, you can still run everything on an external switch, or run some external and some on the built-in PoE. I have a mixture myself. It also effectively provides a built-in Vlan as well But you're not going to find it to be "choose a...

    I dont notice the close focus so much until about 3ft, I dont think most would even think about it. I have found many/most of their close focus specs are 2x the distance what real world sees Yes less noisy than the 3449. On both its a fine digital "fuzz" not the normal pixelated noise we think...

    Looking for affordable NVR, POE not needed 4-6 cameras

    Andy has two under $200, I even used the white one at bottom for a couple of years. Nothing fancy, just worked. Biggest issue between those two and the others is AI capabilities and horsepower (incoming bandwidth) https://empiretech01.com/collections/network-video-recorder

    Camera recommendation for a wide area

    Problem is you need two cameras. The width means you would have to run a single camera in 2.8mm or 3.6mm wide angle and then you lose ID distance. So you have an overview camera, but lack of good face ID at the sidewalk entrance to the house, which should be your #1 priority I'd sacrifice the...

    I'm done for now tuning on the 5459 AS. My final NIGHT settings for now. Pretty close to my initial dial in. I just can't live with the digital fuzzy textures AT NIGHT on moving people that come with this and the 3449 Pro once I get to 03ms So for now 4ms is good and less distracting. There's...

    You're correct. Thats my understanding also. Its all about feeding his ego. But the point is how did it go from $200M to $350M in just a few months and where is all the money going? You understand the concept of buying favors right? No public accounting, no competitive bid, no plans or...

    Trump just slipped again. first the ballroom was $200 million…then $250 million…then $300 million.NOW he says $350 million.Who the f*ck is being paid to build this? Who’s paying for it? Why is the media not asking these questions?

    Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

    Awesome shot. The other problem is changing light. We dont enjoy a constant light intensity this we have to allow for a wide range of light/dark conditions even in daytime. I'd love to be able to run 1/2000 or 1/5000 all day, but clouds, shadows and rain usually make that problematic ;) These...
