    H264/265 Fee Hike, any signs of VP9/AV1 to newer hardware

    left field I found an article saying the 264 and 265 license fees are exploding, any sign on the horizon of manufacturers considering VP9 or AV1.. be nice to see a price drop with licensing costs removed.

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    that and most of the other options are becoming closed in and exploding costs/limitations. guess we'll see how flexible unifi are willing to become. there is other competition even just from how good NVR's are getting for those that don't need that many complex features.

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    yeah it's a shame the lack of doing something when we knew we needed to do something is now going to cost a lot more, funny how that goes

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    mmm the AI DSLR cam looks interesting, wonder what the price looks like 4/3" 10MP CMOS

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    and why is that.. are they actually doing that in the Cam or in the software and it's a hardware lockin?

    I have a ipc-hdw5831r-ze that seems to have lost its focus.

    weirdly we've had a few of the latest fixed(2.8mm/3.6mm) focal cam's slowly go out of focus, Andy's recommendation of doing a physical reset button press seems to clear it up

    IPC-Color4M-TL

    Fair warning, some of the Dahua Camera's are quite blurry close range, so pay careful attention to the min focus distance 2549: 2.8 mm: 1.7 m (5.58 ft) 3.6 mm: 2.6 m (8.53 ft) 3449: Close Focus Distance 2.8 mm: 2.0 m (6.56 ft) 3.6 mm: 3.5 m (11.48 ft)

    Checking in - Hope All Are Doing Well !

    Love your work :) would be interested to see a comparison between a ColorX and Axis same MP to get a quantification of what they consider value at some point (no rush)

    Fiber instead of PoE, what about power?

    it sounds like you are picking what you are sacrificing, keep in mind depending on what hits you, you're going to blow up stuff anyway. if fiber's a feasible option you could run a PoE injector that's cheap and easy to replace to supply power and assume whatever's supplying the PoE injector will...

    Road Rage Dumba$$

    we're getting more and more of this over in AU, there is a massive shortage of anyone wanting to become police so it seems the only solution is to start putting up more camera's (Chinaaaaa)

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    Thanks, however if there is a counter I'd like to know where it is and make it visible so we can all keep an eye on it.. I'd also like to know Dahua's position on motors wearing out + if it's an issue etc (their all round spiel on it really)

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    I've decided to ask Andy for a comment on this.

    Comparing real pro cameras to home grade. More than resolution specs.

    the other thing to consider when embarking on this is if you get involved, will you be taking any responsibility for if the system does not perform, you can work on this and it can take a massive amount of time + then become on your head to maintain.

    layout design. POE switches and backbones

    oh no you can absolutely can daisy chain as long as it's within that reach, I'd not want to deal with a device at the start taking everything else down (personally)
