    Worlds First Review - Dahua - IPC-Color4K-X / DH-IPC-HFW5849T1-ASE-LED - Full Color 4K Camera

    If we've learned anything from Covid, it's that just in time doesn't work. What does work instead: "Buy it cheap and stack it deep." The most amazing factor here is that in the last, what, 3000 years, it's never been less expensive to borrow/own capital (i.e. interest rates are lowest in history).

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    HMC, have you considered using Blanking feature inside the camera to blank all the useless portions of the video?

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    It's one camera doing the job of two cameras. Saves a lot of infrastructure cost that way. Don't fret that, yes, 60% of its pixels are wasted and the 40% that have a good view are mediocre pixel density on target.

    2021 New Product From Dahua

    Other manufacturers have ran into the situation where PoE+ 802.3at is not enough power for their device. So they use a proprietary, or non-IEEE method of PoE, and include the injector with the camera. Still more convenient than dedicated power supply and cable. And then there is 802.3bt, which...

    Exported content is corrupt depending on camera resolution - Hikvision

    I can't solve all your problems. But I recommend against transcoding video when you are exporting from the VMS (Milestone). Transcoding only makes the video worse: worse quality, worse bitrate efficiency.

    Fish Eye?

    It all depends where you do your dewarping. Ideally you have the camera set to full view mode (fisheye) at a single, high resolution stream. Then you use the viewing client to dewarp the video in real-time with a virtual PTZ-type interaction for the user. If your client software doesn't support...

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    Why the retreat from 1/1.8" sensors in the latest Dahua bullet cameras?

    Could it involve the US technology export restrictions that came into place about a year ago?

    I need a recommendation for a wide-angle, outdoor camera and parapet wall mount

    Dome cameras tend to zoom out to about a 110 degree corner to corner view angle. If you want wider than that you are pretty much stuck with a multi-sensor or fisheye/360 camera. The problem with mounting a fisheye camera on a parapet mount is that it is going to face straight down, which puts...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Back in the 2016 election, I liked the idea of "draining the swamp." It's a vague enough strategy that I suppose we all project our own vision onto it. My vision included removing people like Berhardt, not bringing more of them in. He sounds like everything I wouldn't want in government...

    The fancy new PoE standards (and vendor-proprietary formats) support into the 90W range on a CAT6 cable.

    Big news Milestone Q3 2020

    No, because channels live within the device. So: You can have multiple channels per device. Previously you could have a 100 channel encoder device that allowed you to bring 100 cameras into the system and it would only cost you 1 device license. Now they've closed this loophole so now this...

    https://www.milestonesys.com/campaigns/license-model/ Milestone has finally closed a big loophole in their licensing model. Starting with 2020 Q3 release, they are charging a license count for every CHANNEL in the system, rather than every DEVICE. They have left a few exceptions where...

    dewarping fisheye image on camera IPC-EB5531

    Good camera Video Management Software can do the dewarping in realtime and interactively while you watch live or recorded video. On the camera side, it definitely varies by exact Dahua model. Some are nicely featured and flexible, some are not. Here's a N68BR4V with firmware System Version...

    New Line of 10th Gen Desktop Processors.

    Pro tip: They are the same internal circuits as the last three generations of desktop CPUs, they just glued a few more cores on the end so the core count can get a bit higher in the lineup. Intel forgetting how to design x86 processors for an 8 year stretch will go down as one of the biggest...

    UDP Stream as Source

    Interesting question. I don't know of a way to create a Camera in Milestone that only has the functionality of a permanent RTP stream. I know I've tuned into streams like that with VLC and with third party "Decoders" like Axis T8705, but never declared it as a Camera in Milestone. In the...
