Small Business Camera Recommendations
No offence but he should heed Looney's advice & ignore those. Domes suffer from internal reflections & the polycarb goes opaque over time from UV light causing an ever more degraded image. Turrets or Bullets are best outdoors because they usually use flat glass lenses that suffer neither from...- CCTVCam

Video stream Bit Rate vs Image Bit Rate Reference Bit Rate and Custom Bit Rate
Adding to what BigRedFish has said on letting the camera handle the compression, as a general principle, compressing footage a 2nd time should always be avoided. -
Video stream Bit Rate vs Image Bit Rate Reference Bit Rate and Custom Bit Rate
Not an expert and don't know about extensive knowledge but I'll tell you the basics. The camera's video stream from the sensor is RAW ie it contains all the data representing the picture. The camera processor then compresses the video to write to storage. This is because RAW files are huge and... -

Violence and threats happen a lot now. You've seen the famous Charlie Vietch video where Fred his bodyguard slap & kicks the person allegedly with a knife who demands the erasure of the video.

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
You can do it manually without the cameras. Get a largish piece of scrap card ie A3 ideal, and a maths protractor. Draw baseline at near and parallel to widest edge (straight line) and put a dot on it in the centre in felt pen. This is the spot you're going to put the protractor on. Put the... -

Andy produces his own custom firmware based on Dahuas. Often it has less bugs, extra functionality. Wow that's a big boy. Just like watching porno. Lets hope the picture it produces is just as good. PS don't the missus anywhere near it! BTW a couple of quick sensible questions, how much is... -
【Review】IMX482 1/1.2" 5.8um Camera, King of The Ultra Low Light Camera World?
Yeah that's the kind of sensor I would think they used. Surely now Sony no longer produces these (MkII) for their cameras, they have the fab equipment used to produce these dies lying unused, there's no chance of these competing with their DSLR lineup as they've moved on by several generations...- CCTVCam

【Review】IMX482 1/1.2" 5.8um Camera, King of The Ultra Low Light Camera World?
As someone aslo interest in seeing better sensors used in CCTV, the best low light camera I've seen was produced by Sony some years ago. Someone had one on here, although after the initial posts, I don't think anything more was really posted. The issue was the cost. I believe from memory it was...- CCTVCam

Stupid people deserve their own thread....
I actually agree, not that it's intentional suicide, but wiht people who take drugs. I've never understood why people try to shut out their problems with drugs or alcohol. But in the case of drugs, why would you take some crystals or powder in a clear baggy not having a clue what it really is... -
EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser
Are you absolutely sure and how long have you tested them for? What tends to happen with browsers other than IE, is they all "work". It's just after you save changes and come back a couple of weeks later, you can find the changes haven't been implemented / reverted despite a confirmation on exit... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
We're kind of splitting hairs with terminology as I'm sure you understood what I meant as per your comments below. :) There is only 1 cable, poe ethernet cable that carries data and power. To be 100% clear, yes I'm talking about the data standard that sends the data over the ethernet cable not... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I didn't say release feature source code nor code of others feature solutions. What I said was release the code used to decode the signals sent over poe to the recording equipment. That is almost certainly client side code and probably only a codec at the end of the day. As it's almost certain... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yes and entirely possible. A large company I know uses it's enthusiast community to debug it's software and rewards them with free licenses / it's hardware products. It worked extremely well and you don't need code experts only a community as rather than looking in the code for bugs, all... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Exactly this. Dahua has it's own solution. It could make it freely avalaible as an open standard to others. It's choosing not to but instead to lock it's features to it's own equipment. Dahua's features are almost certainly camera side and hardware / firmware implementated, so it's likely only... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
It's is Dahua's decision. They can't make ONVIF change their standard. They can however, release their NVR / Software side interface as a new open standard for everyone to use to make their camera features potentially available to all brands of NVR / software. By making their interface the new... -
Trying SSD on BI
The problem with flash memory of any type is the finite number of writes which are much lower than for HDD's. The associated issue is I believe there's been a trend with memory cards at least in recent years to move away from SLC the most durable type of NAND to other less durable types such as... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Maybe ONIV is having some issues with feature implementation, I don't know. But Dahua no doubt has the ability to develop an open source non locked alternative or simply to open up their API protocol. Provided the data is transmitted over poe and provided they allow other software / NVR... -

I can't help but feel Dahua are shooting themsleves in the foot here. For sure, their reason is probably they're wanting to bring everything in house and give people a reason to buy their systems. However, there must be hundreds of thosuands if not millions of users worldwide who don't want an... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Features look great in theory although it looks as if you need a Dahua NVR to take advantage. Wonder if Ken can make them work on BI as surely the software is in the camera regardless even if it use off camera processing, otherwise if it was in the NVR, surely it would work with any camera, old... -
Trying SSD on BI
Most people run background recording + triggers albeit most run background reording at lower quality. The reason is simple: If a camera fails to trigger, you still have some evidence. Without background recording, no trigger means no footage. Not sure if TW does this or runs everything at full... -
No Live View on PC
Make sure you use the script and install IE that way. Also, create a shortcut for the script link on the desktop to access IE if using a pc. Not sure what you can do if you only access it via an NVR. MS don't want you using IE anymore and in my experience will uninstall it during updates or... -
Fifth Dahua Camera and I cannot get this one to initialize...
I found a cheaper switch with poe++, albeit it is managed: https://www.netgear.com/business/wired/switches/plus/ms108eup/ Buyer beware though. Although your camera does say it requires poe++, it'sa bit close with a stated max of 58w vs the 60w POE++ max per port. I believe that switch has a...- CCTVCam

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
Yeah but I don't think it's down to sensor size or should that be pixel size on the sensor as the larger sensor on the 4K colour series largely maintains the pixel size given it's 8mp on 1.2 vs 4mp on 1.8. I think the issue is rather more with the relationship between sensor physical size and... -
Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I think it's with everything engaged - lens heater, led's AI (!!!), siren, speaker etc. For sure, 90% of the time, not everything will be on at the same time. The issue with going lower in terms of a switch is the one time everything aligns to cause every feature to be used, or if not every... -

24.2w is going to cause huge issues with POE switches. Even mid range poe+ cannot supply those power levels: This is the cheapest Netgear switch I could find that supports that kind of power level (30w per port), and even then the budget works out at 6 ports max at that level for $249.99... -
