I was looking for this method of Lens sensors calculation for months,very informative information thanks for the hard work!!

Thank you, sir. you did an excellent job in explaining all the difficult terms and showing good examples.

Thank you, very informative and you presented at a easy to follow pace.

Pin point, crystal clear, much sought information. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I want to thank for all the info. on the types of camera lens. You are very much appreciated. 👍 🙏

Absolutely great, fluent and easy-to-understand explanation of the subject

Excellent explanation. Thank you for sharing

Excellent presentation and tutorial . Very interesting information and with detail description. Thanks

Thanks for the great information, Cheers

Thank you for making these videos. They are very helpful.

I'm excited to see this tutorial,thanks a lot

very informative... i learned so much...

Exceptionally well done! I learned so much watching. I am working with a security company who wanted to use the same [focal length] cameras for all locations. All they talk about is resolution, not field of view. I see now I need different cameras at different locations.

As a security camera pro I understood most of what you presented in this video right away, but still gained some added perspective and knowledge. Your video is well worth watching for anyone interested in this subject. Well done!

Very Nice info 👍👍

Great video bro

9:50 - wow finally someone on youtube that actually knows a thing or two about security cameras, he seriously did some legitimate trigonometry calculations for finding the angle view. I wouldn't even trust security cameras with Wifi built in, anyone can hack that easily... just sayin.

Te agradezco mucho tu explicación. Me sirvio bastante. Una recomendación que te hago es de que sí profundices en las matematicas. Así queda más claro todos los conceptos que manejas.

Very Good Work. Would you recommend one PTZ or four outdoor cameras, for general observation at a large compound home?

Great Video! Are you able to suggest at which distance you can clearly read the license plates with the 12mm camera (when using digital zoom) ?

@HomeTechDIY

Thanks! With this camera show here, once it gains focus at 32ft (9.75m), the digital zoom will also be clear.

Excellent introduction to the differences in types of security cameras. I know you did a lot of research to put this together. I've just installed 5 cameras. One 5mp PTZ with 12 X zoom, two 5mp with 4X zoom, a 4K fixed wide angle and another 5 mp PTZ for inside. I have certainly seen the differences with all up on my Blue Iris screen. Of course I get the most "fun" playing with the PTZ cameras. I like catching moon rises and sunsets with the PTZ. Not super sharp but pretty cool. What's been your best security camera experience for night sky viewing? Just wondering...

@HomeTechDIY

Glad you liked the video! I have tried PTZ at night a couple of times but struggled with the focus. Using the 25x PTZ from this video, I could preset the zoom level but the focus would not preset and the camera would continuously hunt for the right focus without success. That was a big letdown. But, in my review of the 12mm bullet from this Lens Size video, I pointed the camera towards the north star and captured stars and movement not visible to the naked eye. Definitely my fav! Here is that review (around the 10min mark if you want to jump ahead): kzread.info/dash/bejne/qp55sqOdaKrfaLQ.html

thank you

Can blue iris control your PTZ cameras in the manner you want? I've read that its better to use a matching brand NVR for PTZ or LPR cameras. any thoughts? thanks

Thank you very much for going into trigonometric :) I did it too for Hikvision models DS-2DE4A425IW-DE and DS-2DE4A225IW-DE, and by my calculations, the angles on their datasheets are correct. I did the same for these other two Hikvision models DS-2DE4A425IW-DE and DS-2DE4A225IW-DE, and in my opinion the agles are totally wrong. Anyone can confirm? :) Thank you.

That was an amazing tutorial, very helpful…I am about to buy 16 new Dome cameras for a property I could do with some extra guidance if your open to it.

Thanks Habibi !

Like the 2.8 .

Nice video. Since you have a camera looking at your driveway to capture vehicle details, would be nice if you could do a video setting up your camera (i e adjusting image settings, fps) to capture plate details at night to overcome headlight bloom... Compare 2/3 Mp standard camera, 8mp etc.. and if it would be good/necessary to go to a more specialized camera with better night vision or a license plate reader. A little over a year ago i had a system installed, and had two dome varifocal 2mp cameras dedicated to road coverage at the front of the property (i e. Installed at the gate) so i can see what is on the street in front of my house. It covers both left and right sides so I get almost 180deg coverage of the road. I should have put in a better resolution cameras but didn't know enough at the time of installation. The front cameras have come in useful getting plates when there have been suspicious vehicles in the area. However i suffer the headlight bloom problem at night... Haven't had a chance as yet to tune the image settings to see if i can improve the license plate capture.

Thanks for the ideas!! Which cameras do you use?

@mpcp27

@@HomeTechDIY .. It is the older analog stuff, not poe. The poe was too expensive in comparison. The cameras are a mixture of dome and turret cameras and different resolutions 2MP or 3 MP. After a couple of years i will look into upgrading to a higher resolution on some of the cameras. If you are asking about brand it is alibi - they look like the hikvision cameras... but the alibi system came with a 3 year warranty.

Hi Great channel. How do I change a Hikvision camera set Subnet Mask address to match my network Subnet Mask address because they are different...and I cant seem to find how to do this on the DeepInMind GUI..any idea?

@@HomeTechDIY Hey thanks unfortunately its not that simple, even with the DeepInMind flagship GUI for the IDS series NVR and cameras. The camera I was trying to configure was actually registered by a previous owner.....hence it was an authenticated access to the camera configuration via HikConnect which I dont have access to - simply because it is not my account. So for those who purchase used cameras out there as a tip ensure you ask the previous owner to unregister the camera from any of their linked accounts. The get around is using the unbinding feature on HikConnect to resolve this problem. I would be very interested indeed for you to run some videos on how to setup VLAN for your CCTV system seen as you appear to have a Managed PoE switch. This would be very helpful for those who rely on switches for a more advanced and secure CCTV network setup. By the way your channel is very informative, keep up the good work. Thank you.

Can fellow Canadians chime in to recommend good online retailers for these systems?

Where could I contact you to ask some questions about a specific set up that I need?

Here's a expert question 🧐in Terms of Led night Vision camera coverage: Let's say you have Roof projections arround a House and Plan to mount Poe cameras underneath IT. So it would be 14.8 feet (4,5meter) above Ground. You want to see the animals causing Noise and leaving 💩arround your House. Basically you want to be able to tell If a wild animal, your neighbour 🥴 or a cat, Dog, hedge Hog etc is responsible. Backyard is completly dark at night. Therefore you want to invest in warm led cameras to get a good View. Just the backyard is 118feet (36meters) in horizontal length and 82feet (25meters) in vertical width. Remember: the camera would be 14.8 feet above Ground. Which Lens size would you pick 🤷 and will the Led from the camera even Cover the vertical area?

@HomeTechDIY

If I understand correctly, your scene width is 36m and it's 25m away from the camera install location which is also 4.5m high? If so, the viewing angle is roughly 72 degrees. To answer your second question, getting light that far will be a challenge. You will also need a pretty high resolution sensor to capture those details. You might want to consider 2 cameras side-by-side to help with the light and resolution.

Whaaaa..All i want is a camera that when i look back at the recording say to the mailbox which is 100ft away, it shows me a clear face picture when i zoom in.. whaaaa lol.

Focal Length isn't measured from the back of the lens to the sensor. It's from the point of convergence to the sensor. The point of convergence is usually in the lens. For cameras with fixed mounts, the distance between the back of the lens and the sensor is the same regardless of what lens is there.

Are security cameras that addicting
