    2332 Weird "pulse"

    Ha, yes, with iframe at 1 you may well have to double your bandwidth to the camera as it really amps up the data coming in from the camera!

    2332 Weird "pulse"

    Set iframe to 1. That will fix it. It is more noticeable in some shots than others, I usually match the iframe to my FPS, but I am doing 8-10 FPS usually. iframe of 1 will make for more data in the shots and bandwidth will go up, but it will fix what you are seeing.

    Sighthound

    I use it full time, but I'm using it on 90 servers and a little over 1,100 cameras. Works great in a large scale environment like I have and I can handle every single thing from my laptop. Works for me! I use the iOS app some, but it is just as easy to use the web client to do everything...

    Sighthound

    You might consider giving Exacq a try, your cost for two cameras there would be more though at $50 per camera. Still they have a free trial for one camera that does not expire that you could try at least to compare to. I have very little falsing using the Hikvision cameras and the detection...

    My hikvision camera works fine on 500 feet of cat 5?

    As an update - the camera has had zero issues on the 487 foot cable. I also then connected a desktop and it also ran fine, and at a full 1gb. I transferred 12.7 back and forth 10-12 times between computers on my test bench with no problems at all. I also ran on that cable for 4 days doing all...

    Nice tester by Dahua

    I'd like to know the cost, and can it test the quality of a coax connection? Some have a "Video level meter:PEAK video signal level, SYNC signal level, COLOR BURST chroma level measurement." That has been useful to test. I need to find a good tester and once I find one I need to order 5-8 of...

    Amazon: buyer beware

    I buy tons of things from amazon, and I mean tons. Merchants do not get the CC info so they are one of the safer places to do business with, but you do have to watch the seller and not just take the first option, usually there are plenty of sellers to chose from for any given product. The one...

    strange color issue

    I have had this happen for both reasons, stuck IR and bad sensors. Worth a shot to see if it is easy to fix but so far mine have been unfixable from a few brands when this has happened. Stuck IR I could get a temp fix, but it would return.

    My hikvision camera works fine on 500 feet of cat 5?

    I connected a desktop to the cable and it connected and is working fine surfing the internet and doing speed tests and the like. It connected at 1gb! - what would someone recommend I use to test the connection more fully on windows boxes? It seems very few people try to push the limits when...

    My hikvision camera works fine on 500 feet of cat 5?

    Just as an update, the camera has been running nonstop and not missed a beat. I have it recording on motion which seeing as it is looking at a tree is a lot of motion and it looks great, playback is fine and I have not missed a single ping. I'm impressed and I'll keep testing. My 460 foot run...

    My hikvision camera works fine on 500 feet of cat 5?

    Switch is one of these which I use as my workbench switch: http://www.nellyssecurity.com/power-supplies/poe-injectors-and-switches/16-ports-poe.html And my other switches that are working together at 460 feet are Buffalo switches. Not exactly high end gear but I'm not going super cheap either...

    My hikvision camera works fine on 500 feet of cat 5?

    So I have been testing something today and I'm amazed it is working just fine. I'm as surprised as anyone but I have a Hik bullet hooked up to a 500 foot spool of Shireen cat5 cable and I'm using a no name brand of POE switch to power the camera and it is working just fine. I set the bitrate...

    Hikvision coverts and Avigilon software are compatiable

    I am using Hikvision DS-6704HFI encoders and they work fine but they have their glitches. The issues are only firmware interface related, my browsers seem to hate them and times and it will crash IE and the like. The firmware is unique and different than the cameras I have used anyway, but the...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    Alright @milkisbad how much and when?! :D In all seriousness I'll buy some of the DS-2CD2042WD-I as soon as you get some to test. Let me know! I'd be interested in the turret options too.

    Frustrated as all get out!

    What would make a good spider-web removal tool?

    I just went through and disabled IR on about 70-80 Hikvision and ACTi cameras. That does not help me at all on the analog cameras but still I'll take what help I can get! Only 700 more IP cameras to go.......

    Is this a bot or someone hacked this Dahua NVR?

    Or you start a firmware upgrade on their router and half way through you shut off your wifi/internet connection.... Wait, never do this.

    Recording software

    Yes sir, you can get a demo from them by filling out some info online, but if you want a demo you can contact me and I can give you the password for downloading the software. The software will be fully functional for one camera with no limit, but you cannot upgrade and the like it is stuck...

    Help with false motion detection due to ambient light changes

    Move to the UK where the sun never shines so then you have no issue? :laugh: I kid, I kid. Every camera I have ever tried will false to this if they are IP. Analogs do not have near the issue and they are almost immune to this. I will say that my Hikvision cameras false the least of any of...

    Recording software

    I use Exacq - it will be okay in a VM and it uses the cameras recording features so when I have a 22 camera system and the client is closed it uses 2-3% CPU on an i3 with 4-8gb of ram of which it uses almost none. As a second benefit they have iOS and Android apps and they also have a full...

    Can't get live page to work in Chrome.

    No, IE will still be around for now anyway. They are releasing a second browser called Spartan that will ship in Windows 10, but IE will also be in there so we're safe for now. I personally do all my camera work in IE even though I use Firefox for everything else. I gave up on Chrome long...

    Effectiveness of footage leading to actual arrests, or any other camera sstories?

    That does work @milkisbad, I used it yesterday as after I posted the above I got a call for 6 more cameras to setup.... That works really well for upgrading the firmware though and I never knew about it until you mentioned it a few weeks back. That is fine and dandy and I'm very glad to have...

    Ha, yes I agree! I feel like I see way too much the way it is now lol, this hobby is all fun and games until it becomes work! This is not all I have to mess with too, so I am kept quite busy. You know how much work it takes to get cameras aimed, shutter and light settings tweaked just right...

    Effectiveness of footage leading to actual arrests, or any other camera sstories?

    So far this week we got people stealing a car, good plates on both vehicles involved and great face shots of the main perp given to the police. Clear as day, no way to deny these images lol. Also got another break in on video, video of the vehicle with the items in it and the perp. We are...

    Pole mounting options for PTZ?

    First off I notice the bird spikes are not working out too well.... :laugh: Second, why not just mount the camera to the wooden part of the pole? Looks like it is only a couple of feet lower than the pole anyway? My PTZ cameras a temp installs as the only place I use them is at construction...

    brand new 2332 *BLINKING* problems in IR mode help

    I'm so glad it worked for you! If 8fps is too slow move up as desired, I record 10-30 3mp cameras at locations at times so I slow down the frame rate so as to be able to afford all the storage I need! :laugh: You at least have settings you know work now so you can always go back to them as...

    The setting is in the photo I'm attaching, called the I Frame Interval. I usually set mine lower as fron the factory 50 seems to be the default and I can see the change. Usually for me I set to 8, but I'm running at 8fps so I just match them. I have others set to 1 and like it best. I would...

    brand new 2332 *BLINKING* problems in IR mode help

    Is smart IR enabled? What are the other settings - maybe slow down the shutter speed, lower the gain somewhat from 100, say 92, no WDR, and full 100 on noise reduction. See what it looks like then. Could also disable IR and see what it does with other lighting, help decide if the IR is...

    Any new exciting cameras coming form ISC-West?

    I'm in Indiana myself, so North, East or South is all easier than heading west! I'm moving more and more into the security side for my needs on top of the cameras. Hard to keep up on all the vendors and what they offer as there is so much going on.
