    Is the TP-Link VIGI C340S good? what camera would its dahua counterpart be?

    Assuming the client does not want the bright LED lights, how bad is its IR mode ? Assuming there are no other source of light (streetlights etc,) would full color not be ideal in this case?

    Is the TP-Link VIGI C340S good? what camera would its Hikvision counterpart be?

    Hello! Anyone have a review for the TP-Link VIGI C340S or the PTZ version TP-Link VIGI C540S . The camera specs on paper looks very good having a 1/1.8 sensor and more importantly priced really well (99$ on my area). TP-Link is very reputable in the networking space so i would trust them that...

    Recommendation for a streaming camera

    Hello ! Im looking for recommendations on a streaming PTZ camera under about 1000$. The priority is video quality since it will not be used for surveillance, It is used indoor with a constant light source.

    How do you color calibrate a camera?

    what do yo mean by "last WB option (with a frame)" do you mean the last one in the selection(day, street lamp, fluorescent lamp, etc.. )? ahhh so i can adjust the green then, if i have to much green i just have to increase red and blue by the same amount. Thats so clever!

    How do you color calibrate a camera?

    I have done a bit of reading and came up with an idea of taking a screenshot of the image and using photoshop do determine the RGB value of something grey (i guess i would print out a 50% grey or use the color calibrator) a 50% gray should have an rgb value of 128,128,128. I guess if the values...

    How do you color calibrate a camera?

    Fortunately yes ! these cameras are indoors so the light is consistent. The only inconsistency is the position of the camera, one of the camera (the one that took the greenish shirt) is placed on the dim area but since its a ptz its zoom is set so that only the area with lots of light is on the...

    Tips for adjusting camera video conditions

    Weirdly enough i do not have the H variant but only h264 and h264B, if h264 is baseline and h264B is also baseline, what would then be the difference?

    Tips for adjusting camera video conditions

    So just basically you want as fast of a exposure as possible. All other video setting are set to help get the fastest exposure that retains a clear video. What does gain actually do? it brightens the image on the hardware level compared to brightness setting which is software? Im noticing that...
