    Shooting this morning

    Just a joke that bond. Worst thign is, if he knows it was your camera, he's now free to come after you or your equipment. You house always looks to be in a good area, nice big houses, but I guess there's a bad element nearby.

    New Dahua Tech / Cams coming soon - Wiz Colour?

    Quick Question, can you have speaker activate but not the red / blue lights? I had one of the early tiocs and whist it certainly had a place, as a primary cam I wasn't too keen because I felt the red & blue lights took away from the picture and from identification. Personally, I'm a great fan...

    New Dahua Tech / Cams coming soon - Wiz Colour?

    The question is Steve what are they really like at night with illumination off, in full colour mode and with 4ms shutter and gain below 50. I thought these were amazing when I 1st saw them and started typing the thread but then noticed the obvious smudging when the guy on the ground in the camo...

    New Dahua Tech / Cams coming soon - Wiz Colour?

    Found this on the Dahua website. News about a new Tech "Wiz Colour". Dahua are claiming full colour at night "as bright as daylight". The accompanying videos on the page appear to confirm this is they're real video captures and not some kind of special effect...

    It seems to get worse with age.

    Recommend best BI or Cam settings to prevent false triggering.

    Use trip wires (IVS).

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    I was recently unable to contact a 4kt camera after a power outage. It came back on it's own 3 days after the original power was removed. Prior to that it didn't exist. No utility could find it on the network despite network commonality with all but 1 metre of cable . This is the 2nd time I've...

    New LED streetlights!

    Yeah they're great. Only trouble is the local authority will find out they can save a ton on their bills by turning the brightness down as they're dimmable. At night, our roads look darker now then when we had Sodium. Only advantage is the colour rendition. BTW, looks like gain / shutter...

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    Yeah it's a great idea & a bigger more sensitive chip is the way to go for nightime colour, but it needs more stability, less power / connection issues (mine has come back on it's own tdoay after 3 days!!), a better CPU & / or more memory, a better lens with smaller aperture to increase DOF. I...

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    I don't have an issues with settings, but recenty they haven't liked having the power removed. They've had it removed many times though over their lifespan, not always without issue. It seems to be some kind of weakness I've never heard of in another camera in here. No other reason why they'd...

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    TBH I'd consider forgetting the built in lights and mounting a low wattage LED light on the house wall instead on a dusk to dawn sensor. A bulb of maybe 6-8w will give you all the light you need for a decent picture but you can boost that with a motion sensor activated flood light if you...

    How to find the IP address of my Dahua camera

    I don't sorry. Others are more expert than me and I don't have an NVR either. I use BI. This means I can't guarantee this is the issue. It depends on whether or not the cameras need to be on the same network or not. ATM one camera is on a 192.168....address and the other on a 10.1.1...address...

    How to find the IP address of my Dahua camera

    It's on a different network range to your other camera. Maybe that's the issue. If there's an ability to change the IP address from the NVR, change it to one within the same range. Give it a 10.1.1.X address to match your other camera all but for the last digit.

    MFW5241T2-E3-ASE: new triple sight very long range perimeter protection camera

    I'm sure they could easily put fixed lenses on. There's no need to put expensive zoom lenses on as per the individual 5442 lineup. 3 fixed lens at the focal lengths you mentioned would suffice. I'm sure there would be takers if the PQ quality was there. The cameras is great in concept, just...

    MFW5241T2-E3-ASE: new triple sight very long range perimeter protection camera

    TBH I still think it's a waste of time. 10 yrs ago we'd have been all over this. But now, we know that NV can be good and the newer sensors have opened up a world of better Picture Quality. Great Idea, but poorly implemented. As I mentioned, get the 3x 5442 S2 or s3 4mp chips in there, sort...

    Just out of interest Andy, what's the difference? Do the CCP keep the best ones for yourselves? ;)

    Change Dahua camera from Chinese to English

    You've put yourself in a world of hurt. EVen if you can find some English firmeware that would go on, with every firmware update you might try you risk bricking the camera. Wrong firmware = no camera. Best advice, stick it on ebay, buy an International or US version. Andy on here sells...

    Recommendations for outdoor IP camera.

    Wouldn't say it's the only reasonable choice, but if you're asking for the best camera for the money at a reasonable price, then that's it. Practically anything else will compromise the picture unless you go for spending considerably more money. As for RTSP, home automation, beyond my knowledge...

    Recommendations for outdoor IP camera.

    I think its the fact you said you'll add it to the list. BTW he didn't suggest a dome. He suggested a Turret. Similar to a dome in form but with flat glass lenses. Ultimately, there is no list. That is single handidly the best camera for reasonable money out there. Most consumer cameras are...

    Turrets Mounted to Soffit

    Cement board soffits. Be careful drilling due to silica. Also, cameras monted to soffits are too high unless they're purelyt over view. Cameras should be at 6-8ft high.

    B54IR-Z4E S3 How to zoom out? Picture is too close

    Have you checked the thread on LPR? LPR is an art. At night the whole image will be black apart from the plate as you need to run IR and a very fast shutter speed. Hence why you need 2 cameras, one for LPR and one normal. You can forget full colour nightime LPR unless you live in a fully lit...

    AI Cancelling Alerts - False Negatives

    It's probably due to the long processing times. Take a look at the timings - you've got timings approaching 5,000 msecs. They ideally should be under 200ms. Unsure what processing methods / pc you're using but appears whatever they are, they're struggling to process the images. Could be a pc...

    Solved: Dahua N41bk22 not showing up on config tool or router, even after physically resetting camera

    Yep I don't know why cameras are doing this lately. Resetting the camera should only reset the camera but somehow it seems the subnet is disappearing from windows network card settings with a reset. Maybe one of the Windows updates has introduced some kind of redundant subnet address cleanup...

    Solved: Dahua N41bk22 not showing up on config tool or router, even after physically resetting camera

    I had this. You need to adjust the range of IP's in the Network settings to include the cameras IP range. See the instructions for setting up Dual NIC cards to see how to add IP address ranges to the network card settings. Once this is done, the PC should see them once more and they should be...

    A tip on how to repair your ethernet cable on your Dahua Camera when animals attack! :)

    Could use a length of armoured cable to feed out of the junction box. The stuff is horrible to work with as it's very rigid, but it's tough. When I wired my main desktop, I needed to take the cable outside and couldn't find a decent outdoor rated poe so I bought a commercial grade armoured cable...

    For this location: Color4k-T180 or Color4k-T or?

    If you can't identify, it kind of makes the whole excersise pointless as all you can say is someone stole my truck last night without ever being able to prove who, which kind of leaves you in the same position as not having a camera. If you're only allowed 1 camera on the outside of the...

    Bit Rate Issues

    So 2 issues here potentially with BI then: 1. It should be KB not kB 2. It would make sense to use the same bit rate measurement as the cameras. Thanks for you help. I'll speak to Ken. :wave: One other issue I don't undertsand though is why resolution is locked to 1080P in BI. Could this be...
