Birdman Adam 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Forcing the camera to see a certain way in different situations. For example, you have a camera in a dark alleyway. The camera is automatically slowing the shutter too much, resulting in blurry motion shots. You can manually tell it to up the speed, resulting in a darker (but less-blurry) image!

liveinxs 0 Posted June 26, 2011 so for general outdoor uses, day and night use, what would the general best setting be, i am mainly interested in capturing faces , not really worried about catching plates of automobiles, if i was to change to a faster setting, will it reduce picture at night, r during the day..

rory 0 Posted June 26, 2011 the default setting is the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinxs 0 Posted June 26, 2011 the default setting is the best that's what i left it on...didn't want to touch it, till i better understood it..thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted June 27, 2011 that's what i left it on...didn't want to touch it, till i better understood it..thanks If anything one might adjust the shutter if they need to capture fast moving cars. Or, by slowing down the shutter it will see more under low light but it is not ideal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Yep, defaults are almost always ideal. You can always set the settings back to default by choosing an option, forgot what its called! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveinxs 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Yep, defaults are almost always ideal. You can always set the settings back to default by choosing an option, forgot what its called! i just checked in the manual, they call it "initial" this camera is so crazy with the amount of options that can be changed....

rory 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Just a heads up, most TDN cameras (bullets and domes) which come with a 2.8-11mm lens typically have most of the same OSD features now. Dont know what it is but its as if there is one person making the blueprint for the OSD feature and the manufacturers customize it, or they all just copy each other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted June 27, 2011 It did? Normally they dont. Its an option the USA ones never typically come with, the Blue-i domes are the ones that normally have that. Yes you should be able to connect it to DVRs and Keypads etc. using Pelco Protocol. Or to this: http://cnbusa.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1185 I never tested the feature, but it would be cat5 and if using multiple cameras, CNB recommend daisy chaining with the last equipment in the chain properly terminated. Here is a doc CNB USA tech support sent me when I asked about it: http://www.rs-485.com/download/485%20network%20topology.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted July 14, 2011 Just a heads up, most TDN cameras (bullets and domes) which come with a 2.8-11mm lens typically have most of the same OSD features now. Dont know what it is but its as if there is one person making the blueprint for the OSD feature and the manufacturers customize it, or they all just copy each other I believe it has to do with the particular DSP being used. For example, there are different types of Effio DSP's and the menu screens are all the same across different brand names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted July 14, 2011 If you want to do a little soldering, you can probably connect with RS485 to your cams. When I got mine, they had traces and holes for some sort of header to be soldered in. All the control stuff looked like it was in there, they just needed to break out those connections with a screw-on header or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
