    16:9 is horrendous, please stop buying them

    Are you with me or against me? I strongly prefer 5 MP (2592 x 1944) over 8 MP (3840 x 2160), to use current Dahua options as examples of the type. The reason is that the additional vertical field of view angle makes for a more useful CCTV video. And don't get me started on putting a 16:9...

    PTZ Camera's PT Motor Frozen - Needed a Power Recycle

    Takes much longer in my scenario of not having BI.

    open http port

    The web interface, specifically the page shown in my attachment, is how to configure which port the camera listens for HTTP web interface connections on. If your camera isn't responding to your web interface browser requests at port 80, then it might be set to a different port. And if you don't...

    How to modify "Onvif User"?

    I have found that, even if you get locked out of the camera, power cycling it will reset the lock and allow you to try again. I think the idea with the two types of accounts is: -Web Interface access uses the normal accounts. -ONVIF protocol access uses the ONVIF accounts. But there is probably...

    PTZ Camera's PT Motor Frozen - Needed a Power Recycle

    If what looney says is true about BI 'restart' only reconnecting, then you can do a better restart within the camera's WebUI. Full power cycle is the ultimate, but I think the WebUI forces a soft restart of the internal OS, which includes the PTZ health check process during bootup.

    Anyway to improve image

    Comparing the post #1 to #17, I don't see any substantive improvement in the color images. With that considerable amount of ambient light, I don't see any benefit to the B/W mode.

    Reolink NVR RLN8-410 with Swann NVR 8 7400 firmware? ( Swann NHD 815 or 818 cameras ? )

    What does this have to do with Milestone? I think this is in the wrong subforum.

    motion blur and unclear image in general

    Agree, overexposed.

    motion blur and unclear image in general

    You aren't going to get a highly detailed mugshot with the location and wide field of view of your camera. Can you do the same video test in daylight and compare the quality? I suspect even the daylight image will look like that.

    motion blur and unclear image in general

    I don't see any substantial motion blur. If you want more detail on a particular portion of the image, you need to zoom in on it to get more pixels on target.

    Anyway to improve image

    I think the only substantial improvement you can get is to zoom the cameras in.

    Video Quality .

    You can drop a dome camera down from a ceiling using the PFA101 and PFB300C type parts, which is basically a large aluminum tube that is threaded, and the camera threads onto this tube. I will predict that hanging a cam from your soffit down 3' or so in front of your exterior wall is going to...

    Night Details

    They both look good to me, nothing substantial between them. If you want better facial recognition detail you'll need to zoom in and hope the 'perp' stands in the right place looking directly at your camera with minimal movement. Looks like you have a decent amount of light there, have you...

    Flickering on my camera

    I would look to the backlight compensation as the source of sudden image change, or perhaps day/night switch. I would suggest it has nothing to do with bitrate or stream settings. I'm quite sure the camera goes dark because it is trying to turn off its Wide Dynamic Range-type setting, then it...

    Periodic Table of Image Sensors

    Sure, but it will still be stitched and broken up. And your point about being vector based means there is even more justification for this being available in a single contiguous image.

    Video Quality .

    I think your settings are about as good as can be achieved. There is enough ambient light that LED emitters won't help and you can stay in color mode. The only avenues for improvement I can advise are the angle and position of the camera, and perhaps exposure settings. But usually going to...

    Periodic Table of Image Sensors

    Is there a large format version that isn't stitched and broken up?

    Dahua PTZ presets in Milestone XProtect Smart Client

    Looking at my old post here, something changed because it now works. I don't remember exactly what happened with this issue though. Cam is 6AE240VNI, using v 2.640.0000000.2.R.n5... 2018-06-28. Using setting similar to what Dipitidi says: Enable PTZ checked, ptz device id 1, com port COM1, ptz...

    Auto Tracking Dahua PTZ

    More cameras. PTZs can only do one thing at a time, and for that reason they are a poor choice for monitoring a large area.

    How to eliminate motion blur???

    I can't see the video sample due to dubious firewalls at my location, but usually with Dahua cameras when I have motion blur it is due to the 3D Noise Reduction setting being too high.
