    I hate LPR camera settings at night.

    Had two officers ask me to identify a tag at 11:15pm that came by the next morning because I have a LPR cam pointed at the entrance/exit of our cul de sac. I told them the tag would be unreadable at night. It's because of my settings. They called me at work that day and said they had the cars...

    HDW5842TM-ASE 4K

    Good camera. The 1/1.8 @ 8 mp is great if you have some ambiant light. I also installed the 8mp with the 1/1.2 sensor. If you have enough lighting I prefer the 1/1.8 sensor cam even at 8mp. Without much light th 4mp 5443 is probably better. The 8mp 1/1.8 is very good with ambiant lighting.

    Good cameras with default settings

    If some of you install cameras for small companys, read the WIKI and determine if you have outside/inside lighting...if thats what your job calls for. I have the 8mp at 1/18..not as good as the 4mp cam at 1/1.8 if you want a large area...I just purchased the 8 mp with the 1/1.2 and its better...

    Be careful if you activate PTP on your NVR

    It's very troublesome with cloud security. I'm no specialist, and there's a great deal of info in the WIKI on securing your camera system. Even if it's not 100% correct it may be just enough to get skipped over if or when a ddos attack happens using your cameras. It may even be worse with...

    May sound crazy, anyone seen XVR that will support 64 quality cameras? Bad idea?

    Gonna look at a business in a day or two but from what i was told on the phone 60 cameras are there now with a combination of coax and network. I'm not really interested (now that I'm retired) but my 1st thought was to pull all network cables. May could use the old coax as pull string or not...

    Keep the coax or replace it?

    Customer has a lake house with about 9 cameras. They are 1080/2mp on a 16 port pentabrid xvr (dahua). I didn't run the coax and it may be easy to replace. He has money but doesn't like to spend it, so my cost to him will be a bit more if i replace all the hardware, including the cameras. He...
