    Is 2MP Hik better than 3MP at night? Really?

    Perfect, thanks! I could tell he's messing with the shutter speed at 2:10 in his video, you can see the wind blowing the tree and the shutter speed is at least twice as slow as the FPS. -Jamie M.

    PoE Switch Suggestion List

    In your PoE list, for the Ubiquiti switches "A UniFi Cloud Key (~$80) or Management Station / PC running 24/7/365 and the UniFi Controller software (free) is required to manage this switch, as there is no web interface to manage it directly." isn't totally accurate. First: As long as you turn...

    Hikvision PTZ Speed Dome Too Cold?

    Had this exact same problem. To fix it our supplier gave us60 watt PoE injectors to run to the speed domes and zero issues after that. We had 5 x cameras running off of a Ubiquiti US-8-150W (802.3af/at PoE+). Must have been getting some voltage drop when all five fired up the heaters/fans (at...

    Hikvision PTZ camera poe switch issue

    For PoE to work (and proper communication in general) the ends on the cable need to be wired like the picture marku2 posted. If you used fake Cat5/Cat6 cable (CCA instead of full copper) that can cause lots of PoE/communication issues too. Post up the brand and model of the cable you used and we...

    iPhone monitoring stopped after router flashing

    You could put your NVR in DMZ temporarily to see if that corrects the issue, then you know it's a port forwarding/firewall issue. -Jamie M.

    Is 2MP Hik better than 3MP at night? Really?

    I didn't see your other threads. Do you consider it fraudulent because he's running it at 6fps? Even at 6fps his shutter looks set abnormally slow on the night time shots, perhaps 1/3 or slower! Or do you think he's got a bunch of cameras mounted in a similar location so he's getting the...

    Internal Security Camera System - Help

    Not a fan of cantonk?? I have one of their "darkfighter" 4k ip cameras (IPDH20H800) running a live stream at my work (it's 1080p at night but 4k during the day) and they sent me a free demo camera to test out about a year ago (IPTH20HL200) and I was always pretty impressed with it for the price...

    Hikvision -> youtube

    It runs for almost exactly 8 hours, then ffmpeg starts to do nothing, the youtube live stream goes down, but it's using up 100% of one of the CPU cores. To "fix" it I have in task scheduler a task set to run every 7.5 hours: "taskkill /F /IM ffmpeg.exe" Then for the batch file I use to run...

    Internal Security Camera System - Help

    "Leo" from Jovision said "chip in JVS-N3132SL is IMX123LQT-C" He said right now they have PTZ demo camera outside and he will ask if they can change it to one of the 3mp starlight cameras and let me know. I'll post in here when/if he does or when we get our cameras, whichever comes first...

    Internal Security Camera System - Help

    On the demo camera, when I turned on "Intelligent analysis" it went from 1080p to 720p, so I guess it can't do "Intelligent analysis" at 1080p, that's what they mean. For the camera my work ordered (JVS-N3132SL) they gave us this spec link: 3MP Starlight IP Camera-Jovision Technology Co., Ltd...

    Internal Security Camera System - Help

    I don't know the imaging chip they use but I asked my rep and I'll let you know. As for the quality, they gave me a remote login ip for the JVS-N3132SL and initially I complained the image looked pretty soft, especially at night. They told me to log back in and change it from h265 to h264 (not...

    Internal Security Camera System - Help

    I would use an NVR with a built in PoE switch, no need for a router then (NVR gives out ip's), and would save you the cost of one PoE switch as well, i.e.: 32 channel NVR: DS-7732NI-I4/16P (you can get knock off ones dirt cheap too, i.e. ENR51P6-32) Works with 3rd party cameras (onvif or...

    New Hikvision NVR loud fan "replacement" :)

    After running for 24 hours the hard drive stabilized at an amazing 29c temp!!! INSANE! If I'm playing a 4k movie on my home theater stuff it goes up to about 31c because of the temp rise in the home theater cabinet but still super acceptable for being completely silent :) Now I'm just...

    Hikvision -> youtube

    You can do it with a computer (or something like a raspberry pi, etc.). I use ffmpeg (free) or if you have a REALLY fast computer/video card you can do it with OBS (also free) :) I don't have a hikvision camera on hand to try but this works for my Cantonk IPDH20H800-4K ip camera! First, find...

    New Hikvision NVR loud fan "replacement" :)

    Just got a Hikvision DS-7616NI-K2 NVR and it lives in my home theater cabinet but the fan was WAY WAY too loud! I have great ventilation in there so it would have been nice if the fan was thermally controlled but nope, runs full tilt all the time :( With all that empty space I figured I could...
