    Quick question about camera status window

    "Quality Time" being the most important, not skimming. Attempting to learn two new complex platforms at my age is like picking up a basket of balls and thinking you can juggle :) I will endever to read more first then ask questions if its clear as mud. A lot of different pieces that need to fit...

    Quick question about camera status window

    Not it. Its not PTZ, Motion is off in BI, Motion is off in camera, SMD is off in camera, and they seem to appear even when there is no motion in the activity. It has a mind of its own it seems.

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    I have a 4K Hikvision clone with varifocal lens 12mm on the far end to deal with that. There are three more cameras they drive by to get into the shop. 1200' to the road. Even have 433mhz triple pir beam sensors that trigger back to the rack. My neigbors call me "A security Enthusiast" lol...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    Yes master :facepalm: , did that after I seen the image. Wont be doing that again. I bought that camera for the IVS and inputs/outputs as its primary task. There are other cameras closer to that end of the shop that I can get the detail needed. Lot to learn..... Thanks

    Quick question about camera status window

    Under MPixels what is the second number represent? "Fieldcam" is a 5MP on a 2.8 sensor I think but shows 0.3, "Fieldreo" is a 8MP on a very small sensor (reolink crap) and shows 0.2 Now heres what I dont get. The new "Empireteck" is 4MP on a 1.8 sensor but it still shows 0.3? Also if there is...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    I received my IPC-T54PRO-A5 and am impressed with the night vision and on board intelligence. This camera was chosen to provide an escalation response to the approach to my shop by using three IVS tripwires as shown in the picture. From my initial testing the IVS and camera outputs work fine for...

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    So if your using onboard IVS only the camaera is looking at every frame to validate say a line crossing event even if the I frame is say 40? Got ya, I think...

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    Just getting my head around I Frames in terms of impact on video. Lets just keep it simple for now lol So I have a 1080p empiretech with 264 encoding and I have the FPS at 20 and I Frames at 40. This is probably wrong but I understand it like this? For each 40 frames an I frame is inserted to...
