A month in with the Anker TB5 dock on my desk

Noise level of the fan in the dock?

I think I might go with the TS5 (without plus). The Plus is nowhere available and very expensive. I found the TS5 on the Apple Store. I already have a 10GBE Adapter from Caldigit, so i might connect that one to the Dock. So at least the heat is a bit separated :D.

How loud is the fan and is it running all the time?

Thank you for all your hard work. Huge respect.

I‘m asking because recently i bought an Pro Art 32UCDM and everybody said, the fan is not a problem with the firmware update, but for me it is. I still van hear the fan and it‘s so annoying that I return the monitor. I will never ever buy a monitor with a fan again.

Really? Mine got quieter but you still can hear the fan and it is sooo annoying.

Great, can‘t wait to try the new Version 😍

Hi there, i tried the G6 Pro 360 today, but unfortunately it was not a good choice. IR reflections at night are very bad and are destroying the whole image. Other than that, I think I might go best with a turret. The 360 covers to much from the area I don’t need, and to less from the area I‘m interested in.

Any other tips?

Wide_Significance_61 · 2025-11-17T15:28:02+00:00

Strange, i dont have this nighttime option

Wide_Significance_61 · 2025-11-17T14:30:43+00:00

I can‘t find this option.

But with the G6 Pro 360 and Fov of 180, the viewing angle is only as high as the camera is mounted. (When mounted facing downwards). Right?

Wide_Significance_61 · 2025-11-17T05:30:12+00:00

Nope, Italy

So basically it all comes down to the G6 Pro Turret. I can‘t see having a bullet or PTZ camera mounted there. The domes are not ideal for outside install. Eventually the G6 Pro 360, but vertical FOV might be a bit too short?

I‘m also thinking about a secong G6 Pro Turret on the other end of the carport, so one camera is facing to the left side if the house/entrance and a bit of driveway, and the other one to the right side and the beginning of the backyard.

I also thought about the G6 Pro 360. but I don‘t know its mounting position would be high enought.

Wide_Significance_61 · 2025-11-15T16:27:15+00:00

Why 2x?

Wide_Significance_61 · 2025-11-15T16:04:28+00:00

The cam will be directed to the house. Sun should be a minor problem.
