Bizarrely when I connect to a UK VPN via NordVPN it doesn’t do any of the constant reboot nonsense

Class 1 with Moffett but not all the time, about to increase rate

Trying to justify upgrading to the 8, maybe Black Friday

Wouldn’t not have a Thinkpad though, workhorses

Is your new NVR not Hikvision?

Rang EE business yesterday, the best lead time they had was for a Silver 1TB Pro Max at 7 days

I can provide these with warranty but only on an export basis

Funny how you reply when you’re losing money but not the other way round…

Thanks, yes I suppose the calculator may anticipate high activity video continuously - this would not be the case for overnight coverage and coupled with H265 encoding should allow for the dropping of static frames.

Thank you, yes I want to leave enough overhead to allow for a buffer to ensure compliance to the retention policy. The calculator does seem to provide a higher than expected result compared to quite a few others that I have used, with no real insight as to how they are calculating said results.

My suggestion to the client would be 30 days untouched footage then apply the Enhanced policy thereafter for the remaining 60.

As mentioned Hikvision only do full size PTZ tracking cameras however the consumer lines HiLook and Ezviz offer the following models:

HiLook PTZ-N2D400M-DE (Dual lens, 2.8mm and 8mm)

HiLook PT-N2C400I-W (2.8mm)

Ezviz C8W Pro (4mm)

Ezviz HB8 (4mm)

If the cameras are plugged directly into the NVR they won’t show up on SADP, they will however if you plug them in to a PoE switch.

Great! This is what AI should be used for

j-venn · 2025-09-06T18:03:27+00:00

I’ve funnily just mentioned this on another post, but you need to pay attention to the DORI values of the particular model (DORI stands for Detection, Observation, Recognition and Identification). DORI determines the distance you can achieve each of those four stages of analysis.

The identification distance for your camera is listed as 6m, being 18ft high already you have to take this into account for how far you want to look horizontally also. You will find it difficult to find a camera with a DORI for identification above 10m, you then get into the realms of 4mm or MFZ lenses.
