    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    0.7.R is AI-ISP version... much brighter image at night but also more problems in very dark enverioment (strange AI noise). You can revert to 0.2 or 0.3 without AI-ISP.. All versions here: http://steve.home.pl/files/

    Beginner Question: AI or dump camera for Frigate

    on 2/3/4 series cams / NVRs You can't do Video Meta Data.. The only option is simple IVS with human/vehicle filtering. If You configure properly it will capture people/cars, but without any attributes like in my demonstration. Also night performance of 2849 will be 10-20x worse that 5442...

    Smooth Stream

    what frames you captured from video stream? I-frames or delta frames? With clear settings I-frames (1 frame per 15/30/60 frames) will have best quality / sharpness / bandwith at a cost of the rest 14/29/59 delta ones ... this setting is better for static images.. if You move too much into...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    there are some bugs in latest smartpss which blocks adding individual devices over IP in some configurations. if you had added it before, there is no problem.

    EmpireTech IPC-PFW83242-A180-S2 4 × 8 MP Multi-Sensor Panoramic Bullet Network Camera Question

    where You move smooth streams to clear then camera will use most of the bandwith for I-frames, which are usually once every 2 seconds. other (delta frames) will have a lot less bandwidth and the moving objects will be not sharp / good quality inside that 2 seconds windows. For TV-like purposes...

    New to security cameras and need help with camera selection

    Basic TIOC's with small 1/2.8" is not good solution (bad night performance, even with extra lighting). But there are TIOC-PRO models, with big 1/1.8" image sensor and very good night performance plus all TIOC features (dual IR + white light with 2x more power that normal TIOC, white LED...

    Please recommend bullet; I'm lost in options.

    You decide in configuration - it can stay in color or switch to IR.. 54IR bullets have one of the strongest IR (4 strong IR LEDs, 2 wide for near, 2 narrow for far, can be configured proportion). Even in IR, big 1/1.8" sensor providers much better image that all normal cams with 1/2.8"...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    At 1/200 with manually forced IR - in most cases there is enough IR light to nice capture everything in B/W mode even on totally dark street.. In WDR method I think angle is even a bigger problem. After my original post about my Full VMD + Full WDR + strong IR + longer shutter time method...

    Is this NVR selection satisfying? (Dahua or an alternative) ?

    At day this is simple. You enable Full VMD (AcuPick disabled) and very short exposure time - and this simply works... Night conditions are much more complicated. There are two ways of doing thing: - classical - strong IR + very short exposure time (1/1000 or 1/2000) + HLC + some image settings...

    Why NVR should be offline? it device designed to work 24/7... 100% systems I do are AI cams + AI NVR, where cams do first level of AI filtering but storage and event distribution to mobiles is always on NVR side. Both must work to have full functionality. never have been any problem. Always I...

    TIOC-PRO line, with bigger 1/1.8" sensor and dual hybrid light (IR + white, white can be activated by motion) exists in 4 / 6 / 8 Mpx versions... 6 Mpx have worse night performance that 4 Mpx, 8 worse that 4 and 6... more pixels on the same size sensor = smaller pixels = less light sensitivity...
