    New 7 series

    Smartsens has been releasing new stuff constantly. The wizcolor X appears to use the 2026 stuff acccording to specs. I don’t know. Doesn’t matter. People complained about the AI stuff, so this time they come out with pure optics. Sounds to me like they listened. It’s worth trying out.

    New 7 series

    That’s cool, but if you can maybe list the 2 series wizcolor x in 3.6mm and also 8MP 3.6mm(at a decent price) you got at lease some buyers. I’ll spam the FOSS crowd for you as long as not total disappointment. Gotta be better than my old n45ej62s.

    New 7 series

    nope. I can’t even find the new 2 series in 4k or 3.6mm. Also Smartsens starlight (SL) sensors are fine. You could look at their 2026 lineup and argue it’s best in class. Let’s see the videos before trashing them.

    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    I think AliExpress just blocked Dahua from USA. There were lots of WizColor X on Monday. Now only three Dahua cameras total.

    low latency browser streaming for IP cameras ?

    I have a PWA GitHub - tylerransdell/onedoor: Tactical‑speed door comm and control — SIP audio + WebRTC video, fully local. that focuses on the real-time aspects of home security and automation. It’s a work in progress and development is slowing down a little now as I focus on other things, but...

    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    Thank you for the ideas. I already have automations for my aging N45EJ62s to only fire illuminators when sun is down and people are in my zones (about 3’ onto property). I only need d1 and full res streams. I use yolo26m for detection so no worries there. I’m just a little on edge about only...

    Omada versus Ubiquiti

    I think they both do the same thing (abstract L2 networking into L3, blending the definitions of subnets and VLANs for easy networking). The biggest problem with both is that they are extremely limited for IPv6 (no NPT, no acceleration) and if you’re hosting P2P media (cameras, intercoms)...

    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    I want to give these a chance. Specs seem to line up with brand new line of smartsens sensors but that’s just a guess. I like the hardware-first approach. Big optics, little computer. Maybe they change some minds.

    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    Bummer only 2.8mm available. 3.6-6mm would be super but 6mm maybe never released because might be basketball sized. Also the 2MP 1/1.8 f0.8 looks super cool as does the affordable 8MP 1/1.2” f1.0. Any news when these become available? Can’t wait to see the videos. Never thought I’d stoop to...

    Best doorbell cam is no doorbell cam?

    AIphone is great. You can talk like you’re present and even talk over one another. If it is actually a security incident, this gives a real human opportunity for deescalation instead of making the perp even more mad due to poor communication. Only bad thing is they treat SIP as a stepchild...

    Best doorbell cam is no doorbell cam?

    Are any of these video doorbell things actually worth my NVR space? I had a camera above my door for over a decade. Wife wanted to talk to strangers so I try unifi, Reolink Dahua and Tapo. Since when does a 2/10 camera combined with a 1/10 intercom become remotely acceptable? Is it the button...

    NDAA update

    eBay hasn’t even allowed used Dahua cameras for quite some time but they allow mounting accessories. I was going to possibly sell some old N45EJ62 in 2-3 months but I’m going to have to find another outlet.

    Hello camera people

    Hello IPCT. :wave:I finally made an account here to do some research and possibly ask some silly questions. I don't get super technical with cameras but I have a few Dahua units hanging form the house and understand digital video OK. I use Frigate NVR and am 90% happy with it but I'd like more...
