    LPR setup help

    Curious to see how well the polarizing filter works since I have 2 older versions of the 431 without them. The 431 is really heavy and long and I installed plywood and blocking between under the soffit covering for my PTZs (I dont have vented soffits)

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    I'm not too versed in Hikvision stuff right now but I would try changing the sensitivity. If you hit the Help button in the top right it should show what each thing does in in the settings

    Seagate Exos X16 HD for NVR?

    I don't see why not. I have various Seagate Exos X14 and X16 14TB drives in my Dahua NVR and DS-9632-I8. Most drives I'm using are Seagate Exos Used/Recertified since I'm frugal

    Theres a common6 led light style that come in a variety of narrow angles. Or you could buy one of those style lights and replace the 20mm TIR optics with angles you want

    Forget to mention that while the bullets I had work fine the screws included(m4-10mm) are 1or 2 mm too long and bottom out before securing the turret base.

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    Listed as "[Bullet channel]: Horizontal field of view: 88.7°, Vertical field of view: 44.7°;" The higher end models have some slight adjustability to the panorama bullet. I do not know the angle of tilt this has. Keep in mind the bullets are color only. Dahua's models seem to have electronic or...

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    Its lot faster than my other ones and maybe faster than my sd5a825. For only 375 its really impressive with all the features, specs and, auto tracking.

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    I took it down for now as I read up how to use this thing. I dont believe I had EIS on at the time as I was testing it. It was mounted with a JBPW-L mount onto a 2x8 that was lagged into my 4x4. I was randomly panning around seeing how it behaved and sorry for the endless panning I set it on...

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    Having no experience with Hik PTZ's I recently bought a TandemVú :rofl: DS-2SE7C432MW-AEB 14F1 from B&H for a very good price and yeah this shit wobbles when the panning stops but not as extreme as yours was. From my Dahua side none of them do this from all the sd5 to sd59 and sd4 I have.

    Advice tweaking for better night image

    Yeah thats what my line of thought was. Swap in 5, 8 or 25degree lenses on my current Tendelux BL18 illuminators and maybe a lenticular lens to make an elliptical pattern.

    Advice tweaking for better night image

    I actually do have 1-49225, 1-49425 and 1- SD59225U-HNI. These are the older "SD49225T-HN and SD49212T" Amcrest ones flashed to Dahua which I have many more of in storage along with a giant pile of IR Illuminators. I do plan on slapping on 2 more on the poles for identify purposes But its still...

    Advice tweaking for better night image

    Caught a couple groups of people checking for unlocked car doors on the same night. These two PTZs aren't tasked with identification but just to watch my car. They are SD49225 and SD49212 PTZ which are 2MP 1 2/8". One is set to ~1/60 shutter and the other ~1/120. h265 20FPS, at 5-6,000 kbps...
