    UI3 shows wrong dates

    Have you checked the health of your drives? Might be worth doing because if there are damaged sectors, maybe that might explain why BI can't access all the allocated space. Unsure if BI can detect areas marked as unavailable for writing to in it's disc space anaylsis. I wouldn't know. Just a...

    IR for Nighttime Performance for UniFi Cameras SUCK

    What it needs is for manufacturers to realise video lives matter. Until someone breaks free from the crowd & starts using larger format ie 1" plus, high quality sensors / processor in a reasonably priced camera, nothing much is going to change. Problem we have is little has changed in the last...

    89% CPU 500+GB mem in use

    If it takes several days to get to a max, and is using large amounts of memory, it sounds like a memory leak.

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    You really have to despair about society when you see these pictures, and it's not the criminals I'm talking about.

    Solar powered ip cams?

    Looks good but remember with solar, the needs have to be based on the worst days of winter as these are the shortest days. Also, if where you live suffers dark rainy or snowy days for days on end, then your battery needs to last long enough to cover those periods. If you might get a full week of...

    Couldn't resist this one on Nextdoor in the UK. Do you recognise his face? More worryingly, 17 people clicked "Love" on it!

    Dahua keeps dropping Frames Per SEcond (FPS) to around 5 - 6 even though it's programmed to do 25.

    Streaming is your issue then. Sounds like insufficient processing power or bandwidth.

    Dahua keeps dropping Frames Per SEcond (FPS) to around 5 - 6 even though it's programmed to do 25.

    Do you mean it reverts in the web interface or in the recording? If you set the parameters in the web interface using Edge Browser or similar, you may find that those settings aren't retained for long after you close it. Best to use IE for settings although some report sucess with Blue Moon. If...

    Trying SSD on BI

    Most HD manufacturers have utilities that quiz / test hard drives / SSD's for data failure. It's always worth using the manufacturers SSD tools for maximum transparency.

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    Theya re history but I think that's got soemthing to do with the smaller sensor size they're using now rather than full colour cams per say, being history. You're just not going to get low light full colour without supplementary lighting out of a 1/1.8" sensor currently....and personally, I hate...

    This is one expensive doorbell ED-525B-WB - even cost more than Ubiquiti Doorbells

    The reviews don't exactly seem enthusiastic over quality. For that money I'd want something matching the very best CCTV cameras.

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    I have no issue with full colour combined with IR provided you can force colour. The issues I'm seeing are that the quality isn't there yet to match large sensors. The manufacturers seem to be concentrating on cheap small sensors and artifical enhancements (presumably to maximise profits)...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    You're are correct at Hassleblad. Nothing wrong with a colour only sensor provided the night sensitvity is good enough. Look at the 4kT. Sold shed loads. Not everyone has a pitch black situation or is unable to provide low level supplemental lighting.

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    As you know, they already made it in the Sony SNC-VB770IP camera with a 35mm sensor as per this test by a retailer: I'm sure BP remembers this and that a member used to have one on here. The trouble was it was over $6,500 from memory for body alone & then required a 35mm lens, housing with...

    Do you all agree with this statement regarding different focal lengths?

    AI contradicting itself. Security doesn't care about look, just ....evidence quality. Evidence quality is dependent on look!! It's a misconception for this reason that quality doesn't matter and find me someone who wouldn't like a CCTV picture that looks like it's been shot on a RED camera...
