    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Yea, not overly happy with it at night, but it's likely the limitation of 2MP. Could be better, but could be worse. I have a lot of IR on the front of the house too.

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Just to give a visual, below you can see the main, wide FOV and then the subsequent FOVs marked by the pink boxes. And here are the different FOVs.

    I'll look again and make sure I didn't miss a setting.

    Streaming to Youtube? Quality/Resoution settings?

    I am on a 5.9 version. It wasn't difficult. Click Go Live, then create a Stream Key (and make sure to adjust the resolution accordingly before saving it). If you have been live before, then just select the appropriate Stream Key from the drop down. Then in Blue Iris, from the camera's settings...

    Streaming to Youtube? Quality/Resoution settings?

    I didn't realize there was also a setting in the camera's settings. Youtube kept alarming saying it was at 514kbps and should be higher (23500kbps). I looked at the camera settings and it was 512. I turned off the limit, and it is much better now with way less dithering.

    Streaming to Youtube? Quality/Resoution settings?

    Ooh, that could help, but I also found the setting on Youtube that was set to VBR, which made a huge difference. I just bumped my streaming bitrate from 1024 to 10240.

    Streaming to Youtube? Quality/Resoution settings?

    Well, I just remembered I can't stream direct from the camera because it can't see the internet... So it looks like I am stuck with the crappy 480p resolution.

    Streaming to Youtube? Quality/Resoution settings?

    We have a big snow storm coming, and I am streaming my West Sky Cam to Youtube. How do I get the quality higher than 480? Is that possible? If I streamed from the camera, would it be better? I would prefer to stream from BI so I can keep the weather info overlay, but if direct from the camera...

    I posted the Benn Jordan video before, but how would one test various patterns to get a better understanding of how Captchas work..?

    We Hacked Flock Safety Cameras in under 30 Seconds. - Benn Jordan

    I saw a news story this morning about someone arrested for taking down and stealing a Flock camera. The comments were about what I expected, and everyone was glad he did it.

    Dahua 5442T-ZE at 70-100 ft - tuning limit or upgrade needed?

    I will also add these captures from my T54IR-ZE at full 12mm and 7ft install height. 18ft (85ft? to the license plate across the street) 25ft (85ft? to the license plate across the street) 40ft 40ft to the license plate B54IR-Z12E at 142ft

    Dahua 5442T-ZE at 70-100 ft - tuning limit or upgrade needed?

    You are trying to ask too much of a single camera. One camera cannot do it all. You cannot see everything and still see details. Getting good details does not allow you to see everything; it is a give and take. This is why a good system will have cameras that complement each other. This is...

    Maybe try a zip? I know I uploaded some files once, but can't remember if I had to zip them or not.

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    52X3IR I would like the ability to ID better, but as bigred said below, it is likely just the limitation of them being 2MP. With the quality of the images, I grade them as a high Recognize with a touch of ID. For reference, this is the B54IR-Z4E 4MP bullet at 65', with very, very little...

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    I have two of these on the front of my house, and even with the massive amount of IR that is present, I struggle to get good night captures. Daytime is much better. It is just over 100' to the sidewalk on the other side of the road.

    How in the hell does one talk to Dahua??

    I want the specific grommet/bushing they use on the top of their PFA130 junction boxes. I will accept nothing else.

    How in the hell does one talk to Dahua??

    I get it, but if that is the case then why do they have contact options available? If they wanted only contact from installers, dealers, etc then put it behind an account wall.

    How in the hell does one talk to Dahua??

    I have sent several emails and messages through Dahua's website, but have gotten fuck all for response. Does anyone know of a way to get any sort of response from them? Ultimately, I know it's futile, but I am looking to see how to procure additional grommets for their junction boxes.

    "I want 2.8mm cameras everywhere to see everything..." - This is why you need specific FOVs with purposeful focal lengths.

    You're welcome. Posts like this would have helped me in the beginning, so I thought I would share.

    3D printed hardware thread

    This is a dual 4K-T mount I am working on. It would mount to the top of a PFA box. It's about 338g of filament, so about $3.40.

    SUNLU PETG can be had at $10 for a 1kg spool. So maybe $1, no more than $2. More walls and a denser infill will need more filament.

    I've been using PETG for all of my outside stuff, as well. I tried ASA, but failed miserably and gave up.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    I am still having issues, I've just been in a funk and haven't had the capacity to mess with it lately. I'm sure Andy would likely work with me, but I've just accepted I own it at this point and wouldn't be able to return it.
