    Help finding a new security camera

    I forgot to add I'd not advise a low NVR either for reasons mentioned above. It gives you more scope for expansion and also there's no hassle accessing individual cameras for beginners

    Help finding a new security camera

    I wish I could help on that one, but I still run a hikvision NVR as it still serves my purpose. I'd ask Andy for a reccomendation and then ask on here if anyone has one for a general review. I like you didn't want to run BI. My advise would be whichever you choose, make sure it can handle...

    Is the 5231 still TopDog?

    At the moment the 5231 is still at the top of the tree The new 4mp starlight+ That's come out has potential to take over the mantle but the initial samples posted on the review are telling me just to wait a little bit as it seems to have some ghosting and artefact issues, Whether that's a fw...

    Don't forget this is a fixed lens as well as opposed to varifocal. I can see this is going to be a topic of debate for a while as it seems to be splitting opinion already

    It does indeed and hopefully is, but it's being held back a little I feel by the artifacts and ghosting. I'm sure this can be tweaked out at works by a firmware upgrade. As you can clearly see it's a sharper crisper image overall

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    I'm still torn with this. I was hoping for more, you can clearly see it's an improvement of sorts but it kind of gets defeated by the huge amount of artifacts on screen whilst your moving. A real strange one this is. As a follow up to what I mentioned in my last post heres the ambient light...

    There's a definate improvement in the daytime image as can clearly be seen with those 2 shots. I'm still tempted to get one purely to play with it to try and unlock it's potential in a few different scenarios. Like @EMPIRETECANDY just posted those stills showing it being brighter than the...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    That's very interesting that it doesn't offer smart IR , You'd think that would be a standard issue on these next gen cameras. As you mention that's a firmware related fix. Will you try running the cam in h264 if you have time as that might be playing a part with the ghosting if it's a...

    What would be interesting, would be to run the camera at H264 and see if you still see the same artefacts on screen. I have a sneaky suspicion it's the compression playing a part here.

    Hikvision camera selection 5mp or 8mp?

    That is very true. In this day and age as daft as it sounds simple sells well.

    Hikvision camera selection 5mp or 8mp?

    I can't comment on the specific cameras as I don't have neither version so your first hand experience of them is better than mine. I don't personally use domes because of the things you mention I prefer the turret style where possible. I do hope that one of the brands actually manage to get a...
