    varifocal camera recommendation

    http://ipvm.com/calculator calculates 46 pixels per foot (PPF) for the 2632F at 80 feet when zoomed all the way in. I don't think that will meet your desire of easily IDing a stranger, especially at night. The recommended PPF is 80. I'd suggest figuring out what the width is of the area you...

    Gadinan “Starlight” 2MP camera with IMX291 sensor

    It turns out that the camera does have an IR Cut filter, but with default settings, the camera won't switch to night mode, and even if switched to night mode manually, the IR Cut won't switch without changing additional settings. To get the camera to automatically switch to night mode, and to...

    Android Phone with just Wifi ?

    1) Yes it will. I just confirmed that I could load and run it his way on my previous phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3. The phone is not activated, but we keep it around in case we break or lose a phone. I put the phone in airplane mode, and then turned on Wi-Fi. No problem connecting to the home...

    Gadinan “Starlight” 2MP camera with IMX291 sensor

    The camera can be manually switched to "Black and White" mode, but it is still insensitive to IR. As you mentioned, with the accuracy of daytime colors, I'm assuming that the camera has a fixed IR filter. I'm not sure why the camera didn't switch to B&W. The Day/Night setting was set to...

    Gadinan “Starlight” 2MP camera with IMX291 sensor

    It has the same NetSurveillance UI that the ESC and TOP-201 cameras use. For last night's tests I was running both cameras with default settings.

    Need help with Mini Camera purchase

    I've got a couple of the Gadinan mini cameras, and never use any of the P2P features or included software. All of the cameras have come with a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 and can be logged into using "admin" as the username and a blank password. You probably already know this, but...

    Great deal on a POE+ Switch Trendnet TPETG44G

    Thanks. In for one. Just wish the nearest microcenter was closer so I could have picked it up instead of paying $6 for shipping. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Amazon prime free shipping?

    POE on different power standards (120v AC, 230v AC etc etc) - confused

    If the camera adheres to 802.3af PoE standard, and you are using a 802.3af compliant power source, whether that is a switch or an injector, the camera should power up just fine. It will be interesting to see whether or not it is PAL only. The specs say that at 3mp it can do 1 ~ 25/30 fps...

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    If the camera is going to be mounted where it would be protected from the elements, I'd probably consider this Dahua... https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/9163-Dahua-Mini-Black-Face-PTZ-(SD29204S-GN) If it were IP66 rated I'd probably already have ordered one.

    POE help

    I wholeheartedly agree. Best bang for the buck item that I've added to my tool kit in years. Pay attention to where the Amazon vendor ships from though... The really cheap price comes off of a slow boat from China. It was well worth paying the $9.99 price to get my free 2-day prime shipping.

    Identify cat6 ends

    The Tonor tester checks connectivity across each conductor in the cable. Unless you miss all eight conductors when you terminate the cable you should still get at least some of the LEDs to light up when the master and slave units are connected to the two ends of the same cable. It will still...

    Is there a way to copy the masks between profiles?

    The Copy/paste to all will copy the mask from one profile to all of the others. To just copy from one profile to another, hit copy on one profile, switch to the other profile, and then hit Paste.

    Identify cat6 ends

    If they all came from the same spool of cable, you might be able to tell by looking at the markings at each end of the cable. Most bulk cable is marked with a measurement every couple of feet. On a 1000' roll it might start at 1000 and go down by 2 every 2 feet. If you can see a "distance"...

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga Well, I couldn't help myself. I decided to order one of the 2MP cameras with the IMX322 sensor, even though it doesn't have an IR cut. I want to see how well that sensor performs as a through-a-window camera...

    Plasti Dipped Huisun 10x Mini PTZ

    The corner mount places the camera more to the side of the house than behind it, and gets the camera out from under the roof edge. Conceivably a stiff wind blowing at just the wrong angle might let falling snow or ice hit the camera, but I think the odds are against it. I already had that...

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga That's based on a single review, and I think the reviewer had unreasonable expectations. This camera has a manual zoom lens with a manual focus. When you change the zoom, you're going to have to refocus.

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga The one I really want doesn't seem to exist. I'd like to get one with the 2.8-12mm lens, POE, IR Cut, and with the IMX322 2MP sensor instead. If this one just had an IR cut I would have already ordered one...

    Mini PTZ v2: 4x optical zoom version

    I really wish they would come out with a 10x that is a 3-30mm variant. It seems to me that that would hit the sweet spot for a residential surveillance PTZ. (Of course a 20x 3-60mm would be even better) :)

    Dahua Mini Black Face PTZ (SD29204S-GN & SD29204T-GN)

    Did anything that came with the camera indicate whether it is IP66 rated? One of the things that had made me leery of this model is that nothing that I've seen in the Dahua literature indicates that the camera is outdoor rated.

    Current Mini PTZ status: V1, V2

    I don't think that is actually an option. It looks to me like clicking on it just updates the total price to include the shipping.
