    4K PTZ

    Is the Dahua SD6AE830V-HNI at around $1200 to $1300 one of the better cameras to purchase if you just want a decent 4K PTZ camera, or are there any other brands that have pretty good 4K PTZ cameras at good prices yet? I'm only needing one for daytime use. Just curious if there is anything a...

    Bright Light Bright Light.

    If you wanted to convince somebody not to cut through your yard late at night using only a super super super bright light (or series of lights), what light would you use? Preferably something that would plug into a regular US AC outlet. (the kind you have on the outside of your house in the...

    Why are fences so expensive?

    I think there is a fence racket going on. There should be a way where you can purchase a nice looking fence for peanuts and install it yourself with minimal effort. I mean really minimal, like this fence. EZ Trim Fence System It has this small bar at the base of the pole, it takes a couple...

    Smart External IR

    Is it the camera performing ai on the image that determines how much intensity the LED's should give out, or is it a sensor that determines how close an object is to determine how much intensity should be dished out by the ir LED's?

    Dahua box camera above 12MP?

    So 12MP is the best it gets resolution-wise in the sane price ranges?

    8K TV's for surveillance

    Agreed, at normal viewing distances it can be difficult to see the differences. I always view at abnormal viewing distances. As an example, I many times walk right up to my TV monitoring my live feeds and look at the feeds closely to see if I can see the actual pixels. Many times I can see the...

    8K TV's for surveillance

    I read an interesting article about the state of 8K recently (especially found it interesting how the cost for an 8K set has dropped 93% in 2 years from over $100,000 to $9,000) and it got me thinking about how I currently use 4K tv's for surveillance live viewing. And also, if another price...

    Dahua box camera above 12MP?

    I know we can currently pick up Dahua 12MP ip cameras for around the $300-$400 price range. Do you happen to know how much the lowest cost 33MP ip camera costs? Mostly just curious. I know Avigilon has had high resolution cameras before most others but their prices have always been staggering...

    Loudest Remote Control Siren

    Looking for a loud remote controlled siren I can put out in the yard. It would be used to scare kids out of the yard if I notice them on my cameras. I wouldn't use it that often, just once in a while and only when I press a button. Kinda looking for something like this only much louder and more...

    Smart External IR

    I notice many of the Dahua cameras have smart ir that changes the intensity of the ir leds as objects come closer to the camera. Is there a low cost external IR illuminator that does the same thing? (for people who like to keep their cameras inside the house pointing out windows). Most of the...

    Best Camera Camouflage - Indoors facing Outside

    I'm curious what some of the best camera camouflage items people are using so your cameras aren't noticable to anyone. My cameras are inside pointing out windows with all the IR illiminators outside (camera IR lights disabled to prevent window glare / ir bounceback). I've had way too many years...

    SD6AE830V-HNI PTZ

    I notice this camera is 2 years old. Is there a refreshed version of the SD6AE830V-HNI coming out anytime in the next couple months by any chance? When I check Dahua's website, I only see 2 4K PTZ cameras. Is that all they have so far or am I missing some? I'm only interested in ones that would...

    Dahua box camera above 12MP?

    Now if we could just have a breakthrough in low light sensors. I noticed that Hikvision has introduced double light sensors (from the IPVM article) on some of their new cameras. (1 IR sensor delivers image brightness, the other sensor for visible light guarantees vivid color.) I wonder if Dahua...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Mine runs about 122 Fahrenheight even at night time when it's not moving. Southfacing in the daytime but this is 1AM and it still at 122 degrees. Hope that's normal. Just seemed high to me when I first turned on the temp indicator. I should know tomorrow what it gets up to when the sun is...

    Dahua box camera above 12MP?

    Curious if anyone knows when Dahua might release a box camera higher than 12MP resolution.

    Thanks for confirming that.

    Xprotect Essentials+ 9th Camera

    When you use Xprotect Essential+ with 8 free cameras and then decide to add 1 more camera, do you pay approximately $450-$500 to cover the cost of all 9 cameras? Or, do you just pay for camera #9 license costs with the other 8 cameras remaining free? Also curious about which companies have the...

    Thermal Tech Time Frame

    How many decades until this tech is available to us for an average price of $300? (stationary camera without PTZ)

    IP Cameras and HDR

    Do IP surveillance cameras use the same HDR found in today's TV sets? I know some of my cams have WDR but none of them list HDR as a spec. When I think of HDR, I think of DolbyVision, HDR10, etc. Curious if any IP cams will ever utilize that, especially Dahua. I'm replacing a 1080p with a 4K...

    Xprotect Essentials 2018 R1 Stability issues

    I have the Xprotect Essentials+ 2018 R1 smart client running on my workstation and it seems very solid. It also reduced the CPU usage of my workstation by 60% (it offloaded that 60% onto a GTX1080ti where it's using between 12 to 14% of the GTX). I am connecting to a server that is still on...

    Thermal Mini Hybrid Bullet Camera

    That really is a thing....:lol: Looks like this camera is at least $800 currently. I was hoping it was going to be $349.00. Darn. BF2120 Price I wonder what the average quarterly price drop will be on a camera like this.

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    This appears to have just been resolved as of today for my machine with the new Xprotect 2018 R1 smart client. If you upgrade to 2018 R1 which just came out, you should now see 'Hardware Acceleration' listed as Nvidia instead of NO and it appears to be working so far for me. So far, I have...

    Thermal Mini Hybrid Bullet Camera

    That is pretty cool. Tried to find pricing on it but failed. What happens if somebody farts in view of that camera?

    error installing IIS when installing xprotect 2017 r2

    I had an IIS error during an upgrade from 2017 R1 to R2 and R3. It mentioned IIS and 'Image-something' running which blocked the install because the 'Image' process was using the same port. I didn't take a snapshot. I'm gonna see if it happens again next week when 2018 R1 is released and I'll...

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    Yeah I saw that. I'm looking forward to that release. They added a little more detail to the preview docs as well. Only 4 days away. They even threw in the GTX 1080 benchmarks. 2018 R1 Preview

    error installing IIS when installing xprotect 2017 r2

    Do you get the same issue with 2017 r3? It was released about 3 to 4 weeks ago.

    All I know is that I wish they would fix it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to Junk It!

    XProtect Smart Client + GPU acceleration

    That is very similar to what I get for 6 cams. Once you add 2 more 1080p or higher resolution cams, you'll probably be at about 90%+ cpu utilization as well. I usually sustain around 95% or so when I view all 8 cams at the same time (currently 1 is a 4k cam, rest are 1080p). Drops down to about...
