    PTZ scheduled presets

    It looks like it may be under Time Task. I don't have internet at the moment, I'm on mobile. Wonderful ATT garbage internet. I'll check it out as soon as broadband is restored. Their saying around 3 am

    PTZ scheduled presets

    I have to see if the web GUI has the scheduled task option, it is the older GUI

    I don't use BI. Was hoping there was a way to do scheduling in the camera web GUI

    PTZ scheduled presets

    Is it possible to set a PTZ for a preset on switchover at night and back to the original preset on switch to day?

    Mail theft revisited 2020 long version ...for those who may not know

    2mp cams? Most of my cams are 2 and 4mp and I have 13TB of storage and I get 12 days. I run all cams at 15 fps and roughly 4 to 6MB per second bitrate.

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Too complicated for 1 or 2 cameras on a garden shed. And I wouldn't want to have a delicate computer in that environment

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Not a big fan of Lorex. I dumped my Lorex for Dahua last year. Unfortunately, seems used Dahua NVRs are non existent on sites that I've checked

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Don't need any. Need to monitor property around the shed as there is 2 blind spots that can't be seen from the house. Guns come into play when something happens

    Finding a used 4 or 8 channel NVR on the cheap

    Since eBay is vacated of Dahua products, is there another source for a used 4 or 8 channel Dahua NVR? I need a small DVR for our shed and want to keep it affordable

    Mail theft revisited 2020 long version ...for those who may not know

    How do you manage 6 to 7 weeks of video stored on DVR? Low camera count, high storage capacity or something else? I currently have a 10TB and a 3TB drive in the DVR and the best I can get is 12 days. I do have 13 cameras

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    Not AI, that clip has been around. I believe the driver moved forward, opened the door to get better access to the machine and accidentally mashed the accelerator pedal.

    Replacement cameras with a hitch

    Well aware of eBay banning the listings as they took down my 5231 camera listings. I posted a thread here somewhere. It sux. Theres no place to find them used anywhere

    Replacement cameras with a hitch

    Seems like there's nothing but cheaply made cameras on eBay anymore. And almost any Empiretech camera you find, is crazy expensive, in some cases double the price you can get it from Andy for. I think there trying to force end users into cheap consumer grade equipment either through price or...

    Replacement cameras with a hitch

    Why would I care what the grass looks like in an event? While I have cameras specifically for distant identification, my goal with the turrets I have is to identify persons who are in the "red zone" (10-20 feet from the camera) who may cause property damage or bodily harm. I don't think I need...

    Crazy Shooting - Neighbors house hit

    It was always the "bowl cut" for us growing up. My dad did just that to my sisters as he didn't want to pay for haircuts. And yeah, it ended up costing him more to bring it to a style of the century than if he just paid for the haircuts in the beginning.

    Replacement cameras with a hitch

    The individuals in the foreground should be identifiable at that relatively short distance, but they are not. Other than identifying there are two individuals here and the colors of their clothes (which, who knows if that is accurate), there really is nothing useful in the image

    If you can't identify what's happening in the scene, what's the point?

    Replacement cameras with a hitch

    Looks like the 4M-TL resolution is slightly less at frame rates over 20 fps: Outputs max. 4 MP (2688 × 1520) @20 fps, and supports 2560×1440 (2560 × 1440) @25/30 fps. I wonder why?

    Possibly without the warning lights as well. I don't see those on the 4M-TL

    Replacement cameras with a hitch

    I think the image you posted from the 4M-T is fine in a nighttime situation. I have a single 4M-T here new in the box I can't see how a $110 dollar camera can outperform a $190 camera, and by leaps and bounds according to the poster. I think there are huge differences in the settings and/or...
