    Traffic Camera Captures the Ground Crumbling Below Cars at a Stoplight

    Seems too perfect of straight lines not to be a man-made phenomenon. Sure looks like a culvert under that spot that collapsed

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    But it has "Stab LOK" so it must be good, right? Buzzwords always make things fancier (pinky in the air)

    Challenging camera use case, Is it possible under $1,000

    Attached is a photo or two from one of my B52IR-Z12E 2mp cameras. One is at 155 feet and the other is at close to 170 feet. Zoom is pretty much maxed out. I would guestimate that at 300 feet, the images will be close to half the size

    Challenging camera use case, Is it possible under $1,000

    In my opinion, the closer the camera is to the target, the better the chance of getting a good identifiable image, especially at night. Not sure if mounting a camera near the road is an option or not, but that would be the ideal installation. A bullet or PTZ camera will have a better chance of...

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    Probably only one phase of the 240 or only 120 volts. The sink is ground and the stove feed has had the ground swapped with one of the phases. That will wake you up

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    I received the same "canned" AI response when I appealed - word for word

    Notes from the Swamp

    What is the draw to Kayaking? Too much risk involved, especially if they knew what lives there. Nature lovers. I wonder how loving they would be to come face to face with Alli? I'll stand of firm ground.

    IVS and Video Meta data?

    Understood. I was just curious if both can be used together and the limitations. When I have some time, I would be curious on how to set up and display the screens with the detections with thumbnails. I presume that info (thumbnails) is written to the NVR drive(s)?

    IVS and Video Meta data?

    Have 2 of the older NVR5216-16P-4KS2E. Do they have meta data?

    IVS and Video Meta data?

    I trying to implement the features on an IPC-B54IR-ZE. Not sure if it's an S2 or S3. I don't know if the Dahua 5216 NVR has video meta data. I haven't messed with the NVR settings, as I was trying to contain all rules to the camera to lighten the load of the NVR and maintain bandwidth

    IVS and Video Meta data?

    Can IVS and Video Metadata be used together on Camera AI web 5.0? Trying to set up trip wires and still have meta data shown on screen - how?

    IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 optimisation for night time LPR

    As far as I know, all of my replies were on topic if we're discussing the settings of a camera to achieve a readable license plate image. But that's fine, I'll bow out on this. Have fun

    IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 optimisation for night time LPR

    With your reasoning what's the point of having cameras at all? Anything worth something to the user will require time invested regardless. I have worked in the electronics industry most of my life and there's not much out there that doesn't require some sort of setup to meet the conditions...

    IPC-B54IR-Z4E-S3 optimisation for night time LPR

    Personally, it's not critical for my use to have automatic plate logging. Plate identification is really only useful in conjunction with an event, otherwise, why would an average person need it in a normal residential area? It's all about identifying and providing as much information as possible...

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Yeah, 8 to 80 mm, that's a long lens. Though I suspect the mounting needs to be robust at 80mm to prevent jitter and blurry images from movement.
