    Will camera prices be affected by DRAM shortage?

    Someone mentioned to me that empiretecandy said Dahua was raising prices ~20% due to the shortage

    Best sensors for low light?

    Edit: thank you for all this info, it's fantastic! That chart is exactly what I needed. Can you tell me more about the language you're using like IDENTIFY, what other functions you'd expect cameras to serve, and how those functions get laid out and serve to monitor a space?

    Best sensors for low light?

    Heck yeah, that's cool to understand. How do people in this space talk about the range at which an object is identifiable and what resolution you need to accomplish that? It seems like there'd be some easy "don't go past this resolution" line you could draw for most practical applications.

    Best sensors for low light?

    Yeahhhhh that's what I want to hear. I'm not an expert at it yet but it looked like the EmpireTech cams were roughly 4x better than the off-the-shelf Ubiquiti cams.

    Great tip - I'll try and get everything spec'd quickly haha.

    Best sensors for low light?

    No doubt that there's no end to the surveilling you can do haha. My dad and brother just purchased Ubiquiti systems and are clowning me because they "got the professional equipment" and I'm putting together my own. TBH I'm the only one of us that really needs a system at all, but in any case, I...

    I have been proceeding down that rabbit hole! Your post on the mp vs focal length makes a ton of sense. You pretty much called me out for grabbing some cameras straight-away that will catch movement but not identify anything meaningful haha.

    Best sensors for low light?

    That's great, thank you for the reference! I am ok with questions haha. I'm excited to tear into this. My goal is to monitor my property (2.5 acres but only about 1 acre for surveillance) accurately day and night. I've got some squatters next door that are problematic.

    Actually one of the questions I have immediately for this community is: what are the best low-light performance cameras?

    Best sensors for low light?

    I'm building a new system and am wondering what recommendations are for getting the best sensors (within a reasonable budget, $150-$300). I've got an old gaming PC that's doing my AI crunching, so I don't need anything smart, so would like the money to all go toward optics and sensor. Would...

    New property, new security

    We've had issues with squatters next door as well as a giant domestic pig breaking into the gate and doing damage, so I want to have evidence and be able to monitor the whole property (2.5 acres). I also wanted to have control over all the data, so I'm going zero-cloud. I didn't want to get...
