    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.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    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.

    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...

    No, somewhere around 1/200.

    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.

    I will go for a higher exposure speed and see what happens.

    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.

    I am probably going to have to read the manual. :p :D:D;)

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    Ok, my first night picture. I think it will take a couple of nights to dial this thing in. IMHO, it is not too bad for being 4K on a 1/1.8" sensor. I am trying to get the white light to come on. Still some things I need to figure out and play with. For some reason I cannot attach a photo???

    I paced that off once before for another project. That was for my camera in the pine tree. This camera is a tad closer. So maybe 160ft.

    One more thing. I was afraid this PTZ might not have enough zoom. However, for this location it has plenty. Also, with the pictures I posted, you can enlarge them with a click and read the streets signs at this level of zoom. I love the 4k.

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    From the website: "IR LEDs provide up to 492' of night vision. Additionally, a supplemental white light provides up to 328' of illumination for recording full color video in low-light conditions". Initially I am going to go without lights from the camera at night. I may have enough light at...

    Looking to Replace my PTZ camera with a newer model

    I mounted the Hikvision PTZ today. A couple of neighbors helped me with the project. One did the welding on the bracket that I had to make up. The other helped me mount it. The camera was a little awkward to mount and for safety reasons I felt that I needed another hand. Plus, he has an...

    People are digging up a 2010 CNN clip showing Obama’s $376M White House makeover — all paid for by taxpayers. Meanwhile President Trump’s $250M ballroom is coming out of his own pocket.

    .@SecScottBessent on China: "President Trump gave me a great deal of negotiating leverage with the threat of 100% tariffs on November 1st — and I believe we've reached a very substantial framework that will avoid that and allow us to discuss many other things with the Chinese."
