    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    I didn't want to admit to watching this video, but I guess here we are... His explanation makes sense. The sensor size will have an effect on the FOV of the scene, even with two cameras of the same focal length.

    The angle of attack is slightly different, but it doesn't make any difference. In the 3X image it is zoomed past the trees. In the Z4E image, you can clearly see the trees, despite 7mm more focal length. 3X at 2MP and 25mm Z4E at 4MP and 32mm

    Does it matter if you use CAT5e for a long run?

    I was using Monoprice until it was hard to get on Amazon. I have most recently used True Cable.

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    The biggest draw back is the inability to adjust zoom or focus. I will post some pictures later, but the 25mm of this camera is actually longer than the 32mm of the Z4E, by quite a bit.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    It looks like I screen recorded it as well, and I can't find any option to include the IVS stuff in the download. Even loading the .dav file doesn't show them. I used Loom previously. What are you using to screen record? I may just try the Snipping Tool.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    It looks like you are doing a screen record to get your IVS rules and triggers in the capture, but how do I get them included in the downloaded file? I did this with my mini PTZ, but can't figure it out with the new one.

    Coldplay "Kiss Cam" and images cleaned with AI

    My thought was that they also provided known photos of them, for reference, but that doesn't explain the image of the rando next to them.

    Why I hate phones...

    I started using LibreWolf as my home browser, but it's always slow to load and almost impossible to use with how locked down they have it. I am very tempted to just go back to Firefox. You need to watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Dilemma

    Can I use a spotter cam to trigger an LPR cam to analyze plate data?

    I don't think you would need to clone it unless you're wanting to sort your IVS triggers into certain BI camera rules that can't be done within the settings for one camera.

    Can I use a spotter cam to trigger an LPR cam to analyze plate data?

    You would put the LPR cam in a group by itself. On the Trigger page of the Spotter cam, you will check Trigger Camera Groups and then select the group made above. When the Spotter is triggered, regardless of what triggered it, it will trigger the LPR. So this Spotter will basically need to be...

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    In those comparisons, yes/no. The mini was mounted higher in the day time capture, but the night time is the same position as the new PTZ.

    For my first big camera purchase, I am not overly impressed either. Is there anything Andy can do with a FW update? It looks like he has tagging turned off.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    It's all in my post. The IVS rules when parked on the left are set to 36. When it's called to the rules on the right, it's 60. The mini was 32-34.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    I just swapped my mini-PTZ out for one of these and have been less than impressed with the tracking and overall settings, with most of the same sentiments as you. Mini-PTZ was 32-34 on ratio. With the new one, it makes no sense (Left FOV is 36, right call-to FOV is 60). It will start OK, then...

    New Shed - Camera Suggestions

    I would think an AS or ZE would be sufficient. I was going to suggest another, looking back at the house, but BACK YARD shows that if you can't see the shed, the shed can't see the house.

    Low-light struggles / improving image quality.

    Do you have an SD card in the camera? If not, I would recommend it. It's a good way to review footage with the IVS rules overlaid on top.

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    Yea, the adjustments are very coarse. My rotate adjustment doesn't even lock in at zero and is a few degrees off, which is annoying. I ended up hanging it from a PFB203W to give more freedom of adjustment L/R. It requires printing a spacer and tapping new holes in the mount, but it made a big...

    Camera recommendation for long distance

    The Z4E or Z12E will get you there, but the issue will be getting enough IR out that far.

    My neighbors are talking about my house.

    I questioned that too. I saw comments that it's a water cannon for fires. I would think it would look a lot less like a cannon though and more like normal fire suppression equipment.

    It's fixed. They're pointed at balconies at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas. It looks like each one has an IR blaster on it as well. https://www.casino.org/news/smile-for-the-security-cameras-on-your-cosmopolitan-las-vegas-balcony/
