As Acti will say upgrade to the latest firmware ?

try mjpeg

FYI.... you only need around 1/1000 to capture plates up to 100kph

1/100000 ? WTF ?

If its night blast the plate with IR. Put a 850 filter on it otherwise day-night focus shift will be bad.

my 2c

maybe change the audio CODEC in the camera

have a look in the PC`s logs first.

bit rough blowing up that castle !

BAD spy-drone....

Just fixed a clients network something took out the ADSL MODEM and the LAN card, power spike I guess !

Z

yep I think ILK has it try some different lenses

You also get shrouding when something is blocking the lens [holes not big enough?]

z

you will need:

1/ Camera box style -IR cut filter 1/3 or 1/2 ''

2/ 1km away you will need a LASER to illuminate the target.

3/ PTZ controller and motor

4/ The lens I calculate a 800mm lens [i think fuji do a 750mm]

5/ A DVR to record all the fun

There are some nice PTZ cams but 1km maybe not.

10k might buy the lens ?

Might be better to spend the money on an IP camera [360 Deg omni mobotix?] and a wireless link to your base

then you get clear images and the cost will be maybe $5k -just a thought

also add -solar panel, charger, batteries and lighting

my 2c

zmx

it will be the out socket [rj45] only 2 pins are needed for PTZ [+and-] data

There will be something like 5v on the TX data when you find it -move the stick you should see small voltage spikes -a CRO could be used.

z

burn the offender try 18,000 lumens ! of infrared

you only have 3 overviews which is no good if you want to actually catch an ID

I would suggest 1 wide angle catch all, 1 cam at your front door a left and right camera that are zoomed into the footpaths to get IDs.

on the left you have a well lit bus stop there so use that to your advantage.

on the right a street light -more light for free that will get you best shots.

And yes any camera will take a good static shot if the shutter is slow, but this is useless if there is motion -person walking or a car.

my 2c

I know about the little CD, the `setup cam`s worked fine the 'video system' never worked kept bombing out.

I have re-installed another version now I can see the settings !

still cant see custom exposure zones

does it have back-light controls hiding anywhere?

I would have white light Illuminator and a IP camera [say 1.2Mp]

running at 1/1000 it could check the car out before it even stopped at the

gate. mag sensors could turn that on.

A thermal camera will pick out any funky objects for sure

tho might be pretty hot under there. -the prices are coming down

I dont think a speed bump cam is not going give the Res you need to sus it

out right -tho it will give an overview -and it will need more light

for a whole view it might take 2 or 3 cams+ but hey that's easy

my 2c

DVR compression up to high ?

That right Rob...Axis has great support for all sorts of browsers and CODEC combos

I just designed a custom page for a client that selects multiple cameras with clickable options on video size, framerate, etc suit your Browser and speed WIFI/3g mobile

I test it on a ipod touch, works a treat.......

now im trying to find out how to stream to a nokia E71 ...............oh!

I agree they are great but Raymax charges me around $200 to post each one here. WTF!

so you can guess how that goes down... I now design and market my own

cheaper stronger and more powerful Take that !

no way would I use 5ghz at an airport the doppler RADAR would wipe it out !

2.4 is way to busy

10,24,33Ghz etc for sure that why the Telco's all use it.

PM me If you like. I know a good company in S.A. that can help

my 2c

my 3401 does this its the auto white balance from memory- change it to fixed

I think there was a firmware fix -maybe....

It caused me grief setting off motion detection

Does not matter I dont use Acti ANY MORE! BAD SERVICE! UN-responsive!

I think they have been taken over by aliens ?

oh did I say that out loud !

Q1755 for sure !

It has a great image, IR cut filter and heaps of remote control goodies

z

no not focus shift ! its motion blur

I just want to set it to what I want not some unknown and undocumented

mode -how hard can it be.... i just want 1/1000 for the day and 1/50 at night

with the IR cut filter -at least that works....

still no answer? on these custom exposure zones its not in the setup or software I have ? -and not on Google !

low light works well -till some one walks past it's blurry,

-tried the high speed bit better but its too high !

where are these custom exp zones ?

z

hello.

I have been trying to fine tune a bunch of AVXXXDN cameras via the web interface -it's clunky but ok.

I have huge amounts Of IR and a bunch of spotlights that are super bright.

no matter the settings on all of them it they just wont capture in DN mode a good image always motion blur -with the Axis Q1755 its easy and works well.

its like it will do 1/30 but not 1/50 just out of range of a good capture....

I have used DN MP lens's on all and a bunch of others to baseline them.

I did notice they don't have very good BL function -the Axis Kills it.

any idea's before they hit Ebay !

looks like the DVR`s compression is too high, that camera looks ok.

wear....
