    High zoom PTZ recommendation

    Laser IR - more that even sounds cool. I had written off actually being able to illuminate at that distance was figuring it would be daylight use only

    High zoom PTZ recommendation

    That’s amazing. I was not expecting that level of focused illumination. Almost seemed like the cat knew it was being irradiated it ran off right after the IR laser turned on.

    High zoom PTZ recommendation

    Thanks those both look like they have great specs. I wasn’t expecting the price tag though. Don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $200 for a camera. Any options in the $500 or less range? Is it optical zoom that’s driving up the price so much? If it’s AI features I’m not sure I’d use them...

    High zoom PTZ recommendation

    Looking for a recommendation for a “high”zoom PTZ cam, preferably POE. Mounting location would be under a roof eave above a balcony ~20’ high. My balcony overlooks a pond with about 180deg wide view of the property. The furthest points of interest would be ~600’ away and I’d like to be able...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    So is that the cloud service not receiving a heartbeat from the doorbell and freaking out? If so it seems like that would happen every time you lost power to the doorbell. I like the idea of getting a notification that it lost connection (ie if somebody ripped it off the wall or something) but...

    Or maybe with an external IR illuminator if you didn't want visible light on the porch (assuming you can disable the onboard IR LEDs.)

    Where you at @SuruGuru? Interested to know if your unit has the same IR backfeed issues

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Have you tried out the two way comms yet? Not my primary reason for buying but just wondering - can you have a clear conversation with somebody? Is the doorbell microphone and speaker adequate? Is it laggy/delayed?

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Samsung - responded in like two hours on Sat. Still very little info out on it but you can find a little more by searching for Wisenet or Hanwha Techwin. Looks like Sams has it on their website as part of a bundle with other Samsung cameras. Some YouTube videos on features and installation...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Wrong thread for this I know, but thought I'd share this response from Samsung about their new doorbell cam. Not ONVIF, but sounds like pulling the RTSP stream to Blue Iris would be doable. I might try it once it's available on Amazon- I've never bought from HSN before. At least they were able...

    @VorlonFrog excellent job digging into the firmware and deducing the RTSP path despite LTS. The main stream looks good. Good enough at least for what this is. I'm not crazy about the fisheye either but the 180deg view seems to capture your patio about perfectly. My doorbell is facing...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    While we wait... Anybody seen this Samsung/Wisenet D1 doorbell camera that was just released? Touts several smart features like facial recognition and abnormal sound alerts like glass breaking. Avail on HSN of all places but supposed to hit amazon and Sams club in October. No idea if onvif...

    @VorlonFrog and @SuruGuru are the ones who've actually bought the camera. I'm waiting on their thoughts before buying. Sorry if my post was confusing
