    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I have the PFA130-E with a Dahua camera in the location currently. The FCD600 is BIG compared to the PFA130-E, and I don't think the holes line up on the cover at all. Since the install is in a soffit, I may just do away with the junction box and cut out a shape matching the base of the FCD600...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I'll need to hang it from the top in some way. I am probably better off with the turret and looking for a mounting solution (junction box) which fits. I was unable to find one the last time. Thanks!

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Hi all, I'm wanting to try the FCD600 camera again; I initially returned it because the turret version was huge and would not mount to my existing junction boxes. Wondering if anyone has the bullet version? Can it be mounted under an overhang? The mount I see online leads me to believe no -...

    Seeking some camera recommendations to replace existing

    Yes, I've looked at those and see that most if not all don't have IR. I'm also not sure about the compatibility with Surveillance Station. Thanks.

    Seeking some camera recommendations to replace existing

    Hi all, Made some compromises with locations and camera types when I first set up my system a couple of years back. I have a mix of Amcrest and Dahua 2.7 (variable)/2.8 (fixed) mm IR "turret" style POE cameras, 4 and 5 MP resolution. Looking for some camera recommendations which can give me a...

    Alternative to Surveillance Station for Synology?

    Hi all, I'm pretty committed to my Synology NAS for camera storage, but I'm looking to see if there is an alternative to the Surveillance Software application for viewing? Reason being is that I find SS very clunky. Its user interface is not very intuitive. Plus the DS Cam mobile app is slow...

    Alternative mobile software for Amcrest AD410 doorbell

    Hi all, Looking to see if there are any alternative mobile software options (iPhone/iOS) for the Amcrest AD410 doorbell. I'd like something that notifies me when the doorbell is rang and allows me to answer a call from it. My preference is to keep the doorbell OFF the internet, but I'd...

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    I've been using the PFA130-E for all of my cameras. Its diameter looks to be a little smaller than the 5.5" width of the Annke mount. I know Annke changed the mounts on the FCD600 at some point - I've seen some videos which show it rounder than the current rectangular shape...

    Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?

    Thanks. So you are mounting direct to soffit and not feeding that wiring through a waterproof junction box? I was hoping to mount that plate to an existing junction box, but it doesn't line up properly at all.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 versus TIOC version

    Awesome work. I'm about to send back the FCD600 because there is nothing available to which that rectangular shape of the camera will cleanly mount. Any way you can create something with that shape which is more universal? That is, just adapts the 5.5"x4" rectangle of the camera to a certain...

    Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?

    Can I ask - how did you mount them?

    Will Dahua/Hikvision etc. make a 180 degree camera with IR?

    This is a question I have too. I'm not an enthusiast in the camera space, installed a system a couple of years back and haven't done much in the way of upgrade. But I woke up one morning recently and said - "I'd love to get more coverage with my existing system, I wonder if someone makes...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I now have the FCD600 in hand. It has an odd form factor, more rectangular in shape than I anticipated. At its widest, it’s about 5.5”. It clips up to a plate which is slightly narrower and has screw holes at about 2.25” apart. Picture attached below. Not sure the linked junction box will work...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Thanks. That's one that I keyed in on, but I wasn't sure. Most of the dimensions include the length of the waterproof connector, so I wasn't entirely sure. I'll need to double-check the dimensions on the FCD600 (arriving today). I picked a Hik version which may or may not be the equivalent.

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Thanks. I will do some more searching on the specs when I am on desktop instead of mobile. I wasn’t sure if the Amazon seller is Annke direct or what, so I wasn’t sure if the FCD800 is a legit model. I couldn’t find it on Annke’s website searching on my phone. I do see some are full color and...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Hi all can anyone help understand the Annke dual lens product line? I see FCD600, NCD600, FCD800, ID numbers, turret versions, bullet versions… specs and prices are all over the place… Thanks!

    Edit: Built-in human and/or vehicle detection would be important as well.

    Looking for doorbell recommendation with these requirements

    HI all, I've been using an Amcrest AD410 wifi door bell connected to by Synology Surveillance Station for about two years. I have it configured with the Dahua DMSS app via a forwarded port because I found it worked better than the Amcrest app. Right now, the AD410 is failing - when the button...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Hi all. Is anyone using this doorbell cam with Synology Surveillance Station AND using Surveillance Station for the doorbell calls/intercom? It seems configurable for this, but by time I get DS Cam (the Synology iPhone app) open, the person at the door would probably be long gone. :) Thanks!

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    How does one get the latest firmware for their 410? I don’t think the app has ever shown an available update, unless it is doing it automatically without me knowing. I think my firmware number suggests 02-20-2021. Thanks.

    Unreliable IVS Intrusion setup

    OK, I thought the Intrusion AI just looked for an object of certain size and not a human shape. One of my other cameras has actual Human detection. And I thought checking Appears would allow it to pick up when something just appears in the zone.

    Unreliable IVS Intrusion setup

    For perspective, attached is a shot of me coming out of the door, facing to go to the driveway. I would surely think this would pick me up, especially because it's getting small animals. Maybe it's a matter of timing - I don't know how long Intrusion takes to register, but I can usually get...

    Unreliable IVS Intrusion setup

    Attached is a daytime shot of the IVS setup so you all can see it a bit better. I expanded the size of the zone. It's picking up cats and groundhogs traveling behind the trash cans quite well, day or night. It's still not getting me coming out the door, nor me coming in from the "top" from...

    Unreliable IVS Intrusion setup

    Would you think that bush should cause such a big issue in the daylight? Because the detection is equally unreliable during the day. The door swings in to the house, so the first thing that will 'appear' when someone comes out is the person. They usually make a quick left and head on to the...

    Unreliable IVS Intrusion setup

    Hi all, I've been setting up my Dahua cameras for IVS Intrusion events. My goal is to try to detect when objects get close to windows and doors within view of my cameras. One is working great so far, the other, not so much. I've been trying some variations of this setup, a rectangle around...

    How to improve upon constant (false) motion detection from cameras?

    @ThomasCamFan Thanks - those are the only things that come with the Dahua firmware, right? No human or vehicle detection? Thanks again.

    How to improve upon constant (false) motion detection from cameras?

    So if I understand: Tripwire "alarms" when something passes a defined line on the image. Intrusion "alarms" when something passes in or out of a defined box on the image. IVS is just a broad name for the type of detection that tripwire and intrusion fall in to. Do I have it correct?
