    S3 animal detection

    What Effective Target is selected with Long Distance, since that option disappears? All the above?

    S3 animal detection

    I agree with you, the new Web 5.0 GUI is piss poor compared to the old Dahua GUI. Seems as though Dahua got a new software team in-house and decided that different is better. I want ALL the camera selections on the left menu bar like it use to be. It takes to many clicks to maneuver around...

    Chinese have us by the short hairs

    This is not surprising at all. Wait til the power grid goes out. That is when the real anarchy starts.

    Horn Deterrent

    I have had AI cameras with push notifications through BI and home alarm for years, which have worked very well. What do you do when a perp trespasses on your property while at home? I am familiar with the cameras that automatically set off a siren, but do not want this since my notifications...

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    I would not want them protecting me. This is classic DEI at work. Or is that DIE. At least teach them how to holster their weapon. And why would you want to holster weapon, when there is a valid threat??

    They just tried to assassinate Trump

    That video says a lot. They knew, and did Nothing. Not only that, the SS agent ducks instead of jumping to help. Looks like typical DEI rookie instincts.

    Had a visitor last night

    Looks like the usual suspect. Absolutely the push notifications, it is easy to get comfortable in your surroundings, until something happens. I had a similar experience in the past, now I have mostly AI cameras and have BI push notifications 24/7. If anyone is on my property, I know, now...

    Who is actually running the country?

    Obama pushed Joe off the stage so his wife can be president. He misses inviting all the NBA stars to WH and play basketball on the court he had built out back.

    Tree Cam Installation

    Good paint job. May want to try draping a little spanish moss from it. Do you have any IR light conflicts with the house cams?

    USPS - Don’t mind me just passing through!

    I would drive down the sidewalk too if everyone places their mailbox on the sidewalk and not the road. BTW, don't piss off your mail carrier.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    It may be 2 sec in the image. It is a little ambiguous. You can read it here from Dahua. https://dahuawiki.com/IVS

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    You have to account for the size in your FOV. For long distance in a FOV, you can setup 2 different intrusions and set size accordingly. Just remember, for intrusion boxes, they say you need the target in the box for at least 2 sec.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    I had an issue with racoons triggering the human IVS too. I turned sensitivity down to 4 and increased the minimum target size also. Have to see how this goes. Seems that the Dahua Engineers have not updated the human IVS when they added animal IVS. False human triggers does not happen very...

    New IPC-Color4K-T is Out of Focus.

    I guess you sacrifice the long distance focus when setting the close focus better?

    New IPC-Color4K-T is Out of Focus.

    I wonder if this depth of field focus issue is only on the 4K color version, or is it on all the newer 4K cameras?

    Security camera installer reuses passwords

    What is worse, is that the installer, that is Pissed Off at you, has access to your system. That would be my first thing to correct.

    Spider Webs Covering Outside Camera Lens

    If you are using turret cameras, sometimes the spiders like to hide in the gap between round camera enclosure and the mounting case. The FL Mud dabber Wasps love to crawl in there and make their nests. I use the foam weather stripping material between the enclosure and camera to keep them out...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-SE S3 2.8mm 4k fixed lens

    Loony, have you used digital zoom in BI for this 8MP camera and compared it to the 4MP 5442 series, when looking at far distances? Does it look like it was approx 2X better resolution when zoomed?

    The case for using the SSA backlight setting

    Sometimes it looks like SSA may overcompensate WDR setting on some of my camera locations, but on other locations it seems to do a good job with correction.
