Also a very good valid point ...... a lot of websites call it zoom and people think it’s like a zoom camera motorised lens is only used for setting up the camera and nothing else also it would save the op money if did not have it .... he would save $40 also buying sd camera to work on nvr another waste

Starvis has been around a long time it is Sony chip and used by everyone .... but the camera still needs filters for going black and white starlight which is a complete different sensor and developed by dahua and now licenced out the everyone from November allows camera to stay colour day or night with the way the sensor collects light ....... and again in the cctv industry details is the key black / white images at night has always deen a problem ..... don’t know colour of cars don’t know colour of cloths and the big problem face white out from IR

Wow ... what did you say you used to do and I did say don’t compare photo cameras but your not doubling the pixel size.... your adding more pixels into the same area ....... pixels we need to temp call them information for you to understand and don’t you call pixels big or small let’s say more and less to keep it simple Less pixels are bigger to cover say like CIF more pixels same area .... D1 more will make 960h more will make 1080 pixels are information the more there is the better .... more image detail including light no need for larger sensors just more info For the cctv market

Like already surgested stick with the same manufacture . but if your going the NVR route then I would alter your choice of camera ....you don't need the extra expense of using a camera with onboard recording via SD card. But if you want to use that option you need to include a Poe switch into your install so you can access the SD card from a PC

When you read info off the internet you will find old information . lets talk about how tech has changed ...... So 2mp cameras are better in lowlight ..... Would it not make sence then to go better and buy 1mp cameras answer is no ....... Infact this whole post is full of wrong information ...... Large pixels that don't exist DIYer questioning a company owner both Europe and USA ....... And has only used 1 type of camera but ...... Yes a few years ago (old tech) when camera went from colour to B/W the image was not that good so going down a resolution did help but that is a thing of the past so (new tech) hikvision darkfighter lowlight range or the dahua starlight range does away with these old problems starlight is now used by many manufactures and works better than on a dahua which is why I said at beginning of post why go backwards. you came onto a forum asking for info which is a good thing ...... The forum has helped lots of people from wasting money with not knowing what to buy the forum is made up of DIYers installers company owners manufacturers and people who only know 1 brand but you and cortian can only say I am wrong when you both have :- 100s of geovision 100s of avermedia 100s of dahua a few avigilon tvt vcl hikvision but under there old name once you have that experience then I will take I am wrong so imagine what my house is like ...... I have 2mp and 5 and 8mp and I can tell you which cortian can't because he has not used them ........they are excellent at night. but the forum is only advice ........100-200$ on 2mp camera is a waste but it's your money

Cortian there is no such thing as big or small pixels ..... It is more pixels or less pixels ...... Less pixels is low resolution more pixels means bigger better resolution. ..... And as its been discussed on this forum for years and other don't make the mistake on comparison with pocket cameras and CCTV So you question if I am right yet it's your mistake .......look at the ops link which you are questioning ME about. First I will point out for you ..... The links like I said are 8 year old tech starvis tech NOT STARLIGHT which as you say and I aggree is 2 years old and completely different technology so which do you surgest know to op orders if not already out of the wrong advise given ..... STARVIS OR STARLIGHT I spent over 300k on these cameras I know how they proform...... And cortian go back about 6 years and read my involvement with dahua Yes I know what the thread is about ......and since it's about lowlight again starlight is best and new tech as its colour at night ........ And to do that ..... Guess what lowlight has to do ..........and again it's available in 2-3-4-5-8mp and they all proform the same

Ok all manufacturers must be wrong ......why would they ever need to go up in resolution if it does not work so selling 29mp cameras is now pointless 2mp is old ....... Hence why we have 5mp and 8mp recording NVRs does not matter how you put it high resolution is better it as grow from CIF - 4cif-D1 -1.3mp and up ...... And always been about data in a pixel ..... More information the better which was the last 5mp camera you installed and 2mp was better day and night ?

Why going back in technology....... Dahua camera listed is b/w night mode and 5 year old tech. does not matter if 2-3-4-5 Or 8mp the more MP the better the camera is

I don’t dislike hikvision .... I just don’t see the point in .. installing a recorder that a 3rd party can watch you .....hence the reason why a licences professional would and can’t install hikvision in any public space ... just like not used in USA or Australia and now Europe

Hi. 5 threads and over 35 posts all asking the same thing did you read up on the TVT recommendation i would look at everything 5mp with your budget I would stay away from hikvision with all its data breaches starlight is a good choice

Hi. You could just display main door full screen .....and just swipe to next full screen camera it does not matter how you slit it up you will always have 4 screen with only to two showing cameras

Ok so what have you been looking at that makes you think 8 way nvr is $600 you also talk about ptz in another post how many pros what type of camera bullet or turret still need your full budget

What is your budget for your 5 camera setup

Hi. I would keep it simple i would buy a 10 inch $50 tablet and place that on wall by your door and use the Swann app on your local network this option also gives you more options the tablet will get alerts and sound alert. Plus if your out in your back yard or workshop.......take it off the wall and take it with you

You will need to with blue iris there is a fee for both blue iris and using there app how many cameras are you looking for

Ubiquiti is expensive and out of date. Plus remember you need to run along side a PC ..... It has no monitor output qvis uk sells well in Sweden...... And the viper NVR is one of the best on the market now. NVR is compatable 720p upto 4K so a long time before its out of date

Yes that's right what will you be using the system for ...home or business use ?

Hi. It depends on which nvr you are going to use . It needs to be compatible some nvrs are only 2mp recording some are 5mp or 4k

Any it’s a dahua she has

Your SRN is not comparable with wisenet it will not work You will not get full 1080 stream to devices.... you don’t on any you set substream up for remote and it’s not 1080p

Hi. What system was she using before the lorex ? How hate software if not used anything else to compare Your advice is going backwards ..... XEOMA is only free trial .... so she now gets a monthly fee and also cost of pc on all the time why not keep it simple and learn the dahua software ...... there are simpler dahua software that will work with her system i don’t see the point in here going backwards

That’s down to wrong stream or wrong port you should be looking at substream but your not going to get nvr full resolution over remote viewing .... no unit will Well tell us your model number on recorder and software version and we can tell you. Also when did you last do a firmware update

Well what do you expect .......... It would be nice if your asking someone to help you and go out of there way to generate a code for you so as you can use your system again if you just used PLEASE. in stead of a command

Hi. Don't take any notice of wisenet .......you are not going to get 4K on a app. That's because your recorder is not compatable .....even if it was why do you want your data going off to China server..... Don't use wisenet. Your system is doing its capacity ........ Your just looking for more which it can't do ... No system can ... Internet data and cell data has nothing to do with your system besides allowing you to view remotely and the best way at the moment is low stream ......... Is your cell 4K ....no
