Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be “zoomed out more”, while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and “zoom in more”. See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras: Lens in mm

(See my recent comments on post “choosing cameras for my home”) wait until it’s dark so you can see the effect in real-time of any changes you make. Navigating through the elements of the carousel is possible using the tab key. You can skip the carousel or go straight to carousel navigation using the skip links.Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail – down a driveway for example from higher up Start up And Operating Conditions -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F). Humidity 95% or less (non-condensing) Day time images are as good as can be for a 4mp 1/1.8 sensor though I prefer to adjust the exposure up a notch, night time needs additional light if you dont want to use the built in LED lighting, I use a 10w porch light that works to light up my driveway and this works pretty well.

When I try to downgrade to the G5 firmware I get the error "The version of upgrade file mismatches." Startup and Operating Conditions -30 °C to 60 °C (-22 °F to 140 °F). Humidity 95% or less (non-condensing) Audio Bit Rate -U: 64 Kbps (G.711ulaw/G.711alaw)/16 Kbps (G.722.1)/16 Kbps (G.726)/32 to 192 Kbps (MP2L2)/8 to 320 Kbps (MP3)/16 to 64 Kbps (AAC)The light FLASHING on motion is something that is only available on the ISU/SL and LSU/SL models (SL = strobe light) It has not been removed and never will be as it's the whole point of that model. That strobe light is independent of the white LED illuminator. Night time exposure time setting need tweaking to avoid motion blur or people so I have mine set to 150, contrast down to 40 to enhance shadows, this makes a huge difference as it lightens shadowed areas. I also use HCL set at 5 to improve headlight glare.

Where it says "Platform Access" you need to change that from "isup" to "Hik-Connect" on the drop down mm, horizontal FOV: 109°, vertical FOV: 55°, diagonal FOV: 138°; 4 mm, horizontal FOV: 94°, vertical FOV: 48°, diagonal FOV: 115°; 6 mm, horizontal FOV: 57°, vertical FOV: 31°, diagonal FOV: 67° Line crossing detection, intrusion detection, region entrance detection, region exiting detection (support alarm triggering by specified target types (human and vehicle)) Audio Bit Rate -U: 64 Kbps (G.711ulaw/G.711alaw)/16 Kbps (G.722.1)/16 Kbps (G.726)/32 to 192 Kbps (MP2L2)/8 to 320 Kbps (MP3)/16 to 64 Kbps (AAC-LC)Network Storage MicroSD/microSDHC/microSDXC card (512 GB) local storage, and NAS (NFS, SMB/CIFS), auto network replenishment (ANR) Smart Feature Set: - Line Crossing Detection - Intrusion Detection - Object Removal Detection - Unattended Baggage Detection - Scene Change Detection - Face Detection
