shockwave199 0 Posted April 22, 2013 I just installed a 4 camera system for a daycare center. I litreally just got done a couple hours ago. Installing wipes me out man! Anyway, I'm still tweaking the system and getting to know it. This is a quick shot of 720p at night in reception- only two lights on. All I can say is I'm totally spoiled, as I knew I would be. Now I want some! LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted April 22, 2013 LOL- yeah, broke my cherry. I knew the difference. That's why when the client asked for a system I didn't even suggest analog. If I'm gonna go through the trouble and he's got the budget- no brainer. Plus I put in three exterior mini domes too, and I did NOT want IR with bugs all over them eventually. Even though the parking lot pics are a little noisy, there's no IR to muck things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EarlT 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Those are nice images. I put an IPC-HDB3200C in a clients store last fall and it really does a good job. I just used it in a pinch, but client liked it and was fine with the NO WARRANTY OPTION so we left it. Low cost and quality image are finally achievable. Crossing my fingers and hoping it last at least a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Well, I got mine from a retailer but I can't say who it is here or I may be flogged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGWRENCH40OZ 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Those images, inside and outside, are nice. I have been extremely satisfied with my 2MP Dahua domes (after some tweaking and a firmware upgrade). I think that, as a so called "budget brand", they are nice cameras. I think that buying them from a reputable seller is the key, as dealing directly with Dahua is not an option.

vector18 1 Posted April 22, 2013 If your like me, now the next time you install analog, you'll keep focusing and focusing thinking the picture could get better. I just landed a job for a warehouse in PA and I'm installing 8 2100's and NVR. He didn't even ask for megapixel, he asked for a camera system, thats all. I'm paying like 20 bucks more for the camera than I would an analog. The NVR is just a tad bit more, and I have to buy a POE, but I priced the job in order to make the profit I was looking for so he's getting megapixel whether he likes it or not cause thats what I would rather install. Plus, no one works there and he's ordering a dedicated broadband modem strictly for the camera system, so it should work out nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave199 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Nice pretty pictures now show us some with something moving!!!! I'm assuming you're talking the night shots. The camera is on default settings and since by nightfall the facility is empty, it'll have to wait until there is something to show. I'll be curious myself. The cameras are set at default, so I don't think there will be a problem. No special shutter speeds set, I don't believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted April 22, 2013 Not that daytime is a challenge. I'll try for night shots shortly. n0Vafq-BBXQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cameras are set at default, so I don't think there will be a problem. No special shutter speeds set, I don't believe. If this is the same firmware as their 2MP bullets, the default speed at night is pretty slow, with the low frame rate that goes along with it. The image quality is quite nice, though. I limited mine to 17ms (1/60 sec), since I was still getting motion blur at 33ms, and the night quality dropped a good bit. Always a trade-off, of course. Looking forward to more detail on this!

RandyParlee 0 Posted June 10, 2013 I don't know if you've tried out those new Axis cams with 'lightfinder' (e.g. 1604E). That's some amazing shtuff - no IRs and it does night shots in colour. I've installed dozens of these and the images are great. Does anyone know of another manufacturer that has this tech? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buellwinkle 0 Posted June 10, 2013 ACTi has their KCM-5611, 1080P IR box camera to me has comparable low light capability, is double the resolution of Axis Lightfinder cameras and has IR LEDs that work in complete darkness. The ultimate is the Mobotix cameras with dedicated day and b&w night sensors. The new D15 dome dnight model has a 5MP color sensor during the day and 3MP b&w sensor at night for great low light sensitivity. We use the older model, the D14 without any additional lighting.

shockwave199 0 Posted June 10, 2013 I really like your reviews, B. When it comes to low light, many residential applications aren't just low light, but complete darkness. The sides of homes are many times completely dark, with motion sensor lights that pop on if needed. I would suggest that your reviews include how all cameras look in total darkness, be low light goodies and all cameras with IR. No landscape lights, no nothing- darkness. That is the reality of many residential applications and that is what tells the real story about what any camera that includes IR really looks like as well. Thanks for your reviews!

koolmer 0 Posted June 19, 2013 I have a question about the Dahua IPC-3200 (not c). I hope this is the one you installed here. I want to buy one and wall mount it. Is that possible? Does it have... how do you call this... gimbal-mount or something? I basically want it to look along the wall I want to mount it on. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted June 19, 2013 The mini dome cannot do extreme pan- 35 degrees or so left or right and that's it. That's not terrible in a number of instances, but it is limited when wall mounted. You might be able to find a wall mount bracket and prefab some kind of working situation because it won't fit the mini dome. But installing it with this type of bracket would help the situation greatly- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koolmer 0 Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks for the quick reply! I feared that would be the case - now I need to decide if I am going to look for that bracket or simply buy the IPC-HFW3200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the demos that we saw at ISC West I thought they where better then the Axis Lightfinder cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
