i would stay away of both because 1/2.5 or 1/3 are bad size, you want 1/1.8 or under for good low light quality when you reach 4mp
the G2 is newer and is acusense which mean: Focus on human and vehicle targets classification based on deep learning
this alone, if i had to choose between the...
just posting a night video of PCI-T18F6S and DS-2CD3688G2T-LIZS (not sure what would be the equivalent around you)
first half is PCI-T18F6S
second half is DS-2CD3688G2T-LIZS
4k recording, 15 fps
keep in mind that to cut the video i did post processing and youtube did it own post processing...
I'm trying to find a way to reduce the amount of email a line or intrusion detection email trigger send
if someone doesnt leave the line or the intrusion, i can get multiple email by minute from this event
i cannot find a way to reduce the amount of email, like a threshold or limit or anything...
if you want IR and white led in a dome format from B&H with 1/1.8 sensor (there are other but with 1/3 sensor, i would not use them)
not cheap, i have one in bullet size and it work nicely
DS-2CD3788G2T-LIZSU 8MP
DS-2CD3748G2T-LIZSU 4MP
for my camera it's the first thing i noticed and mine is a little bit worst with an aperture of 1.2 instead of 1.0
for my use case, i needed at least 6mm and unless i missed one, my only choice was a varifocal one and i didnt want a dome
if you want 16mm, look at ptz option, one of them could be DS-2DE4A425IW-DE 4MP
4.8-120mm Varifocal Lens, you get your 16mm here :-P it is a 25x optimal zoom camera
if you are able to order from the US look at B&H, 580$ new or 500$ openbox or 410$ used
look at varifocal option otherwise
there is a way, it's using Network UPS Tools (NUT) - google it - and sending xml command to nvr / camera when there are alarm
it need a (mini) pc next to the ups
just a little story about what I did in the last 2 weeks
with the end of winter, I was again into a situation where i was getting literally spammed by email because of shadow and wind (false notification) I was getting locked out of my gmail account (dedicated one for my camera) because of too...
oops your right about the ultra model, I live in Canada, your model isnt available for me, how weird is this? I would gladly get that turret for another spot but I cant
I do have a camera with gain control with auto mode, look at the filename for the model, this is showing up while night/day...
interesting, i didnt know about the gain bug, i will play around on mine and see if it's the case
on my side I got a DS-2CD3688G2T-LIZS, pretty much the same thing except varifocal and a bullet form
firmware is different, current one seem to be ipce_h_g5_en_std_5.7.51_230413, the major...
that is a lot of bitrate, my 8mp/ 4k are using constant 6144 with normal h265 (so not +), using these charts Hikvision Bitrate Chart All Max Bitrates
i would reduce the bitrate...
what is "display transaction information" in the image configuration?
the manual, pdf, on page 277 say;
Display the transaction information on the live view image.
ok, good, but what it is? hahaha
if you know and know what the other settings do, can you tell too?
manual is simply useless...
anyway, if you are interested here an example with ffmpeg
general command line
ffmpeg -i <input file name> -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac <output file name>
in my case it convert from
Input #0, mpeg, from '20230119T155928Z_20230119T160535Z.mp4':
Duration: 00:06:07.04, start: 28727.783667...
no problem, but looking at the result of Dan, it might be one last way of trying it (might fail anyway) before going to the vsplayer of windows
command line tool might look archaic but might also be one of the best (only) way sometime :-)
since it's the weekend and I might have sometime to kill, if you provide a sample video I can see what I can do with ffmpeg and provide you with the proper command line for the conversion
download video and play with ffplay (part of ffmpeg) if this cannot play it with sound, i would scratch my head
you can use ffmpeg to convert to other format
these are command line tools be aware that you will need to read some documentation
in any case, you should control with a firewall / VLAN what goes in and out, for any IoT and I include IP camera in that
plug & play / UPNP is bad, be in control and know what happen
