Fifth Dahua Camera and I cannot get this one to initialize...
I found a cheaper switch with poe++, albeit it is managed: https://www.netgear.com/business/wired/switches/plus/ms108eup/ Buyer beware though. Although your camera does say it requires poe++, it'sa bit close with a stated max of 58w vs the 60w POE++ max per port. I believe that switch has a...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yeah but I don't think it's down to sensor size or should that be pixel size on the sensor as the larger sensor on the 4K colour series largely maintains the pixel size given it's 8mp on 1.2 vs 4mp on 1.8. I think the issue is rather more with the relationship between sensor physical size and... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I think it's with everything engaged - lens heater, led's AI (!!!), siren, speaker etc. For sure, 90% of the time, not everything will be on at the same time. The issue with going lower in terms of a switch is the one time everything aligns to cause every feature to be used, or if not every... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
24.2w is going to cause huge issues with POE switches. Even mid range poe+ cannot supply those power levels: This is the cheapest Netgear switch I could find that supports that kind of power level (30w per port), and even then the budget works out at 6 ports max at that level for $249.99... -
eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?
I know little of the US but are cordless telephone and radar detectrs really banned? I thought the US was the home of those devices? Almost all UK homes have cordless phones. Radar detectors are rare but largely because over here they cost a fortune and nearly all speed enforcement is done via... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yeah. Whoever works at Dahua should perhaps google animals in the main parts of the world and teach AI those instead of taking pictures from a safari manual. I think Cat, Dog, Fox, Coyote / Wolf, would be far more liekly encounters than Giraffe, lion etc. Unles of course you live in a zoo or... -
Replace ColorVu cameras with IR
No colour camera will see in the dark. so replacing it won't achieve anthing unless you go over to a camera with a B&W IR picture for night time. There's no need to spend huge amounts of money replacing either. I've given you a cheap and easy solution, put an led light in there on a timer set... -
Is thermal right for me?
Understand the limitations. No camera will produce a good picture on movement at 16ms. I use 4ms on 4Kt. 6 or 8ms at a push if I need more light for some reason. Even then, I like to have motion operated flood lighting to reinforce the background light if someone has been detected to get a...- CCTVCam

2.8 PTZ
Really good IR. Colour shows the limitations of the sensor size and that's without knowing gain, shutter etc.- CCTVCam

Replace ColorVu cameras with IR
You don't have enough light. I have the 4kT Dahua which are almost identical and I can get a decent picture with around 300-400 lumens and that's outside not in a small enclosed space like a garage and that's on a gain of 50 and a 4ms shutter. If it's that dark your colourvu requires >50 gain... -
Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?
Why connect through Apple TV ? Can't you just connect your NVR direct to your TV and simply change the source using the remote if you need to view the cams? It seems to me you're over complicating it. -
Best Dash Camera 2024
Viofo is my favourite as well. However, it's very over priced. $399 when it's using the same sensor as the Wolfbox at $199. I couldn't justify that price especially as the others run it close. Dashcam market seems to be dying out a lot in the UK anyway. Insurers don't give discounts and will put... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
The Pro version has a definately better image in that example. There's more detail in the fence in the right pro image without appearing oversharpened opposed to a very over sharpened artefact-y looking image in the non pro and the grass to the left of the path has more detail in the right pro... -
2.8 PTZ
Your friend would p;robably be better off either with a fixed camera or a hyrbid camera such as the one Andy has suggested. The issue with a pure pTZ is if it's looking in the wrong place, it won't be triggered and he'll never see where the dogs went and PTZ's are notorious for tracking poorly...- CCTVCam
