    Camo vinyl wrap / tape?

    I wonder if there is a business out there that does one-off custom printing on vinyl wrap material. It would be great if you could capture an image for your camouflage and create a file to be used for the printing. Alternatively, I believe you could do this for fabric with the DTG or DTF processes.

    We got a bluebird egg on our birdcam after 0730 CDT this morning, Wed. 3/25/26!

    I'm such a sap! I get excited like a little kid each time I check the stream and there is a new egg. Up to 3 now. Mrs. Bluebird Robin better be fattening up her tush if she is going to keep laying.:rofl: edit: corrected Robin/Bluebird error

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Having joined as a complete newbie only a little over 6 months ago, it has been quite a ride with all I have and still have to learn, my first 'real' camera a T54PRO-ZE, deciding on the purchase and how to install other cameras, the chip shortage, and now the threat to our router choices.

    Camera goes out of focus in IR mode

    My answer was a general one. I noticed your auto setting and thought the camera is having difficulty deciding on a point to focus on. One solution would be to set your manual focus to where your subject is usually positioned. I don't know that the camera would be refocussing reliably at such...

    EOM (End of Marketing and Sales) for 5442-S3 announced

    I was thinking about this and I am wondering, this EOM announcement seems to be comprehensive as the final curtain call of these products. There seems to have been little notice prior to the time of this end. Were there prior announcements? Is this the typical way that Dahua handles the...

    IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 - IR night performance

    I forgot to mention that I am testing fully zoomed out to 2.7/2.8 mm. The bullet does allow for running near IR, far IR, or both. I also need to be able to Identify at close range. I haven't tested settings yet for the latter but I have no doubt that these are the right cameras for the job.

    IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 - IR night performance

    I'm evaluating a B54IR-AS-S3 right now. My scene requires near and far IR illumination so I am running all 4 LEDs and it does perform better at lighting the distant background (up to 75 feet) than a IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3, as expected. I have an object at the center of the frame that is about 15-20...

    Identify the camera system by the noise

    Okay, so this is a problem with the camera then? I didn't know if this was a game, or what? What is the brand and model number of the camera? What alarm triggers are used? (Motion Detection, etc.) Please post screen captures of the triggers settings and Alarm Settings page(s).

    I am slightly frustrated because I had hoped to be ready by now to be able to offer myself for testing duties, but I am not quite there yet. I will continue to follow from the sidelines until then and cheer on the efforts. :iloveipct:

    Why stop there? Imagine all the cameras inside the home. Or how about the Panic Room/shelter with the Central Video Command/Threat Mitigation Station?

    Is this the right camera?

    Or if no or little ambient light IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 instead of the turrets for a bit more IR light? (on my mind because I am working on this scenario) Regardless, you picked a winner!

    Lorex marketing sure does work

    I think most people are conditioned to think this way due to home video, cameras and phones. Of course, it doesn't help that the typical knowledge of security camera brands and technology comes at us at every big box store.
