    Low cost fixed cam with good human detection - recommendations appreciated!

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check out the cam. I also saw this camera at $90 and was curious how this might work. I really don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just reliable detection... Amazon.com: EmpireTech 4MP 1/2.9" CMOS IR Fixed-Focal Dome Wired IP POE Camera Built-in IR LED...

    Low cost fixed cam with good human detection - recommendations appreciated!

    I'm working on a prototype system that is currently using one of my 5442 cams as a way to detect human motion and notify an app launcher of that motion. Ultimately, this would be installed as part of a commercial package in venues with pool tables. I love the 5442, but its WAY overkill for what...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Are you sure the code works? I tried it and was told it wasn't valid for the turret.

    Take a closer look. The electronic PTX is quite cool and may be worth the price of admission! I just purchase one to test out and I'm digging it so far!

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I picked up 2 of these from Newegg to test. Paid $186 for the pair, with tax and ship. I need coverage in low-light areas and this cam says it supports IR. If it doesn't work well for my home, I'll try them up north at the cottage. Maybe I'll catch a wolf or bear... lol

    What is the role of an SD card in a camera if you're using an NVR or Blue Iris?

    Deffo motion only. Not a ton of street traffic - we're at the end of the subdivision. I'll just go with 256 cards and be done with it... lol

    What is the role of an SD card in a camera if you're using an NVR or Blue Iris?

    Curious - using SD as a backup makes sense if the computer goes ka-bloo-ey. Would a 128GB card be sufficient? Installed in all cameras?

    Just saw the attachment. I'll be good running 5 cat6 cables in 1"

    Does that apply to low voltage ethernet? Each POE run consumes perhaps 20 watts.

    Thanks - Pretty sure this is the Hik match to the FCD600: DS-2CD2366G2P-ISU/SL - Pro Series (All) - Hikvision

    Hi - were you able to find out if there is a Hik equivalent?

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I know this is an older thread, but is there an equivalent Hikvision firmware for the FCD600 cams? I'm looking for a couple of cams just to cover a wider expanse that can detect/observe. Other cams will be used to identify. Thanks!

    It does have line out. I'll play with it and report back. Thanks!

    Nice video! lol I have no problem messing with douche bags who mess with me. I may pick up one or two when the sale hits tomorrow. I also have 2 of the SD1A203T-GN cams - might they be a better option?

    You happy with both choices? I'm struggling with what would give me the best coverage vs the best image. Mostly with delivery guys, but with the occasional peddler too. Part of me wants to get one of those active deterrence cams. But another part of me likes it when the "P" in my first name...
