IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E vs. IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E
Style of the camera isn't that important. The cam will be mounted 16 feet away and I need the field of view of about 2-3 feet wide. It appears that a 12x zoom is about right. At least for the cameras in question. I'm not opposed to other models at all. Just want to end up with a cam that does... -

IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E vs. IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E
I was interested in the 5231 variant of this camera and Andy suggested the 5241 instead. He felt it was newer and more stable. I know there have been issues with focus at full zoom on the 5231. I've looked at both units and the only difference that I can see is that the 5231 has 60 fps and the... -

Camera aesthetics
I can see why consumer grade cameras like Arlo and Ring are attractive to some folks. They're much smaller and less obtrusive than cameras from Dahua and Hikvision. It seems the trade off of quality and security to obtain ease of installation and a smaller, less noticeable camera are worth it to...- Rickoo

Windows client?
Remote desktop products I've used in the past are laggy and uncomfortable to use. Have they changed in the past several years?- Rickoo

Windows client?
Is it possible to have a dedicated BI machine in my basement and be able to access and control it from a laptop somewhere else? (On same wifi network) From what I can find there is no windows client to do this? It wouldn't seem possible with two separate licenses. How are you folks accessing...- Rickoo

I was considering this camera. Has this issue been resolved? Would need 100% zoom. -

Browser plugins
So, it would seem software is the best way to go. How do free programs like SmartPSS compare to Blue Iris? From what I've seen Blue Iris looks pretty powerful. Is SmartPSS fairly basic? -

Help me understand sensor size and type
So, all other things being equal, would say at 1/1.8 sensor be "better or worse" than a 1/2.5 and for what reasons? -

Help me understand sensor size and type
Trying to grasp differences in sensors. Couldn't find anything in the wiki area regarding ways to determine best sensor size for a specific application. Can someone clarify sensor sizing and type or maybe point me somewhere than could explain it in a way simple enough to understand? -

This camera came from Andy. He's been great. We've tried a firmware upgrade with no luck. I'm assuming those that use software to view cams aren't concerned with the issue. Just wasn't ready to decide on an NVR or a PC and hoped I could just stream this cam to my laptop. I wondered if anyone had... -

Browser plugins
Well, for me, in order to view Dahua cams (at least the DH-IPC-HFW2831T-ZAS I have been playing with) with functions like digital zoom and mic/speaker control, it seems you have to use Internet Explorer as the browser. And that's only if you allow flash to run. It's pretty outdated and known to... -

Do Hikvision cameras have the same browser/plugin issues as Dahua? -

Thanks. I'm not an impatient guy and am pretty skilled in many areas of construction. I've done a lot of electrical work. Including wiring homes and installing distribution panels. I have a house full of smart home products. Mostly Insteon, but several other formats. I have all exterior... -

How to digital zoom?
Ok, with some resolution and zoom adjustments, I've managed to solve the issue. When I set the resolution is 1366x768 with 100% zoom, everything is as it should be. I can't use my laptop like this however. But at least I know what is going on. Hopefully this will help someone else with a... -

How to digital zoom?
Have some additional info. My laptop is a Microsoft Surface Book. It's display is a little odd. Display resolution is 3000x2000. I installed IE 11 on another laptop with a display resolution of 1366x768. The cam displays fine on it. So, it's definitely my surface book display. Now how to fix... -

How to digital zoom?
While playing around, I noticed when in the Live window (as well as the camera > conditions window), and I restore down the browser window, I can then scroll left/right and up/down inside the window and the video feed moves independently almost in a layer on top of the normal IP Cam window... -

How to digital zoom?
1. Flash updated. 2. Browser IE 11. 3. I installed the NACL plugin. It's turned on, but doesn't seem to make any difference. 4. I can view the video in IDMSS. No audio. I also had purchased a PoE splitter with the microseven mic and using it, I tried wiring the mic differently. (As seen in one... -

Hey man, thanks for your help. You sensed my frustration correctly. lol. Not that I dislike the learning opportunity, but I keep asking myself how much I'll toy with this equipment once it's all set up. Hate having to rely on you folks and others not being able to work through issues on my own... -

How to digital zoom?
Here's what I get in Internet Explorer. Various options are now visible. (Like speaker, mic and digital zoom) but as you can see the video feed is improper. I'm assuming I'm missing a setting somewhere. Would using an NVR in conjunction with the camera make any difference? I plan on buying one... -

When I access the cam in IE, my screen resolution is off. I only get about 1/4 of the camera video in the lower right corner. Does that make sense? -

Just to be clear, I'm not using a recording device. The camera is wired from my router, through a PoE injector and to the cam.
