    Does the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26 have people tracking?

    I bought this camera used not realizing how much of a BEAST it is and how heavy it is, does anyone know if it has auto people tracking? I use it with BI and the camera has a VCA section i have played around with it but un-able to get it to track anyone.

    How does everyone here view BI on there PC?

    I've been using dual screens with one screen showing BI software 24/7 and the other my web browser, youtube etc. I like the dual screens since i can move my cursor across the screen over to BI and PTZ on things of interest. I'm curious as to how others do it. I have been thinking about a...

    Static or DHCP for IP cams?

    I don't think that would work for me, i have 4 POE switches scatted around the property that all link back to a 10GIG switch. It only takes a min to block them all in Unifi. But its a good idea :)

    Just looking for ideas on how to manage my cams, I block my cams from getting to the internet, it's easy to do with ubiquiti. I would use VLAN but not all my switches are ubiquiti and it tends to be a pain when you have different brands of switches mixed. I find it easy to just create a rule...

    What's your opinion on cameras *inside* the home?

    I have cameras inside and keep them all on a VLAN so none of them can reach the outside world. They have no internet access and no access to browse the network.

    What PTZ to buy for a 22 acre property?

    That is why i was looking at the x-spans or TandemVu cams as they have a fixed wide cam that works with the PTZ to zoom in on whatever. I don't think they work with BI though. There is not much info on the forms about them. Hikvision has so many different versions.
