    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    I guess what I'm wondering is whether a device that pulls, say, 18 watts, will be operational using the splitter when paired with another cam that pulls less than 10 watts. You mentioned the two cams that you have needed a 60 watt power source. I'm wondering whether the power being split by...

    PoE Extender - 2 Cameras on 1 Cable

    Looking at this thread again and was curious if anyone has used the Lortya/Linovision POE extender with cameras that use higher wattage? I'm going to replace my HFW5241E-Z12E for LPR duties with Andy's version of the TC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B . The specs for the Z12E says it uses less than 10.3...

    Specs for decent Openalpr machine

    I use subs on all the cameras and run most at 15fps. All cams use Dahua AI and Onvif triggers, with no BI motion sensor, except the LPR. LPR is a 2mp 1ZE that runs at 30fps. I use the BI motion sensor only for that cam. I have a 237 ANLP arriving Monday that I'm going to play with. If the...

    Specs for decent Openalpr machine

    Running an HP SFF G2 6700 with 16gb. Openalpr must use a ton of processing power. I was hoping to pick something up used rather inexpensively.

    Specs for decent Openalpr machine

    What would be sufficient specs for a 2nd PC to run OpenALPR? I run 20 cams on my primary PC with BI at about 20 percent CPU usage, but with the Openalpr agent running use spikes to more than 90 percent with each passing car) I don't use Deepstack). Having been running Openalpr on an old gaming...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I've been very happy with this camera. I've been using 2 of the 2mp version for the past year and the processing power didn't feel adequate and I usually could only view one channel using the web GUI. The 4mp is completely stable and functions as expected. It also runs at a normal temperature.

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    In playing with mine, one thing I noticed is that if you set up two IVS rules on one channel initially, you don't get the option to add an IVS rule to the other channel. I did a factory reset and tried adding an IVS rule to channel 1 and then to channel 2, and then had no problem adding...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Appreciate the response. I guess what I'm hoping is that the end cap piece can be attached to the short neck piece with the threads and then attached to the PFA162 and mounted on a vertical surface, as opposed to a flat one.

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    Yeah, I saw that video, too. I find that burly guy's videos pretty informative. He has a pretty good video on the features of the TIOC 2.0 ptz camera, which you may have seen. I've been following the TIOC stuff because I have small gated courtyard (well lit) where a TIOC turret camera would...

    Camera Upgrade Time - TIOC 1.0 vs TIOC 2.0 vs Dual Lens Full Color 2.0

    I can confirm that you don't need an NVR to disarm the TIOC cameras. You can do it with the newer DMSS mobile app (at least on the Android version). In bench testing I've confirmed the substance of this video:

    how to download footage from dahua nvr to pc??

    Just a piggyback question to this thread--is it worth buying a Dahua NVR to use primarily for 24 hr recording, or would a regular old ONVIF NVR do? The context here is I have 20 Dahua cameras (nearly all from Andy) that I administer through the web GUI and DMSS on my Android phone. I record...

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Thanks for the clarification. I was looking forward to picking up an IPC-LPR237B-IR to replace my Z12, but the size ended up being the determining factor to stick with what I have.

    I'm in the same boat. Had AD110 with a mechanical chime working with BI5 and the same setup works when I upgraded to the AD410.

    Review: IPC-LPR237B-IR / Equivalent of Dahua ITC237-PW6M-IRLZF1050-B - ANPR, Traffic & Access Control Camera

    Wildcat, in your initial review I think you mentioned that the exposure and shutter (and may all other camera conditions) on this camera do not have day/night mode and one would need to have one set of settings to accommodate both day and night conditions. I certainly could have misread it, but...

    Best firmware/browser to make 5442 settings stick

    When you guys save the settings (4 or 5 times) in IE, do you log out of the camera before closing the browser window? I haven't compared whether logging off before closing makes a difference, but something tells me that it does.

    Best firmware/browser to make 5442 settings stick

    I've primarily used regular old IE, but I find after a given period of time, the FPS always reverts back to 30 and the iframe to something double whatever the FPS is. Also, the time settings always move an hour.

    Now running 4 PC-T5442T-ZEBs and 3 T5442T-AS's with V2.820.0000000.2.R firmware (Build Date: 2021-04-03) running on all. Haven't had any luck getting settings to stick with IE, Chrome, and Chrome with the IE extension. Just wondering if anyone had a firmware/browser combo that they found to...

    Review-Dahua/EmpireTech Dual lens IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2 (The Boobie Cam Upgrade)

    I had a similar issue with the plugin. It was a different plugin than the other Dahua cameras that I have (all purchased from Andy) and did seem to overwrite the old ones. Both channels were viewable once installed but it was a hassle.

    IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2

    I got a couple of these cams yesterday and the issues with the 2mp version have been addressed--i.e., IVS and AI features work on both channels and the camera temperature is normal, not hot. The form factor is smaller than the 2mp version. The lenses are closer together and the camera...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    If anyone needs a different angle mount, wedge mount, or a corner mount for the AD410, I requested a seller on Etsy make one for me and it turned out perfect (he did a custom angle for me). Here's a link to the listing. The angle mount that comes with the doorbell is only 15 degrees and I...
