Hi, Would it be possible to upgrade my Swann DVR 4575 to the new 4580's firmware? Because I assume the hardware of both devices would be the same. Reason why is I want to be able to obtain the new google assistant features, and because Swann doesn't let you buy the DVR separately. Cheers.

So I recently bought blue iris, so far I quite like it and it's features, the only problem is 3 of my 15 cameras will not work with the software, a DCS-7110, 5020L and 5030L, I tried every possible setting and the software just seems to conflict with these cameras for some reason and not want to connect, So what I wonder is there some way I can use another program to be able to get the video feed into blue iris, Idk alot about the program yet but it is annoying me to not be able to connect to these cameras in the program, I still can in browser but that is not really helpful in security systems that much. not sure what anyone has for suggestions but I am just looking for help.

Freefly (home of the Movi stabilizer and many drone/gimbal innovations over the years) released their Wave high speed camera this week. I've been following the development of this camera for months and it's unique in that it can record continuously at 4k directly to high speed PCIE SSDs thanks to real time wave compression. Lower resolutions with higher frame rates are also available of course, and it joins the ranks of "cheap-er" high speed cameras. Would be really interesting for LTT to talk about alongside the Chronos they just got.

So after a recent windows update my one server is once again acting funny and I neeed to fix it. I run blue iris and some boinc stuff on it, everything was working fine until the windows update and now after a few hours everything gets laggy and then either blue iris crashes or the whole pc does. When it's running normal blue iris uses like 3gb of ram, when everything gets glicy and slow it drops to a few hundred megs. Any idea whare I can start to troubleshoot it? I could reinstall but that's a pain

Hey all, Today I had the opportunity to test the camera of my Galaxy Note10+ versus my stepdad's iPhone 11 Pro Max, since our family was considering swapping my phone out for his. I was on board with this idea, since I planned to jump ship to iOS at least eventually, but there was just one hiccup. I did find a comfortable color language with the iPhone, paired with some great detail, but one spot I felt it fell off was in HDR performance. There were several scenarios where it came down to the iPhone capturing a more detailed shot of the subject, but my Note doing much better at keeping the background from blowing out. Blown-out backgrounds in photos bothers me a lot, and it's hard to feel confident that the shots I'd want to take would end up coming out nicely or just looking unprofessional. My Note can keep the entire scene under control nicely, which is something I value extremely. To any iPhone users on here, what has your camera experience been? Has my short test not done it justice, or have you also found yourself with blown-out backgrounds?

Hey guys, so android pit got an exclusive look for the specs and it seems like it is another five Camera Smartphone. Click me for reading the post Why is the new trend to put even more cameras on your phone instead of one (or two if you count the front facing camera) good cameras? It seems like Google still uses one back facing camera instead of three like LG's V40 or Huawei's P20 Pro. And also here some specs:

plain and simple I need to know which wires, Number/color are used for POE in an ethernet cable. Which are positive and which are negative, basically I am building somthing and I need to directly input power to the cable with a 48v converter rather than a POE injector so I need to know what wires to connect the power to.

Hi! In my house I have a dvr and 4 cameras and the problem is that after switching my router to a new one I lost my config that was made by the camera guy, I changed router 2 ( see the picture) and lost connection from my home network to DVR for playback, it had static IP and I was logging on GUI on it. What should I do to connect it back together, so I can access the dvr from my PC? I am semi experience with networking Thanks !

Hi Guys, So I'm looking to spice up my channel a bit with some awesome B-Roll shots, I absolutely love the work Brandon does on LTT with getting such beautiful shots of products. I was just wondering if anybody (or even Brandon, if you read this?) could give me some advice to get some really awesome shots and footage to make my videos look better. Thanks guys, Callum Howard www.YouTube.com/ca11umh

Hello, linustechtips forum I am a computer designer/builder more then I am a camera specialist. I have a pretty tight budget of $300. I'm looking for a camera that records 1080p and 60fps in good quality. Although I would like a removable lense a fixed lense wouldn't be the end of the world. This will be used for b-roll shots and will need to have good auto-focus. I know this is a lot to ask for with such a tight budget. I was looking previously at the EOS M2 but wasnt 100% sure.. I'm also not afraid to buy used or open box. Thanks in advance, Mikmatt

Relevant Information YES I am aware that Blackmagic has since Monday released a new 4.0 BETA firmware for the Ursa Mini 4.6K, but since I sent the camera back before this was out I made this video using firmware 3.3. The new firmware does add A LOT of awesome features including quicker access to controls, so thumbs up to Blackmagic for getting that rolled out. Camera Body I/O aside the Blackmagic had a few quirks that I will mention here for anyone considering on purchasing an Ursa Mini 4.6K. The first is that all the threaded mounting points on the camera are sized for ¼”-20 screws. The reason this could be a small issue for some is that most tripod plates come with a single ¼”-20 screw and a single 3/8” screw, meaning that you will need to have extra ¼”-20 screws on hand to prevent your tripod plate from twisting loose. My second minor gripe with the Ursa Mini’s body is that the power button is ONLY on the inside of the monitor. This was particularly annoying when I was using the camera handheld eventually needing to switch batteries and in order to do so I had to take the camera off my shoulder open the monitor, power the camera off, set the camera down or have someone hold it then finally change batteries. When trying to work quickly with a crew in particular this was a minor but noticeable annoyance. My third and final physical complaint is the omission of the global shutter. While I understand that Blackmagic could not make the process work with both the promised DR and the Global shutter it is a bit of a let down. The silver lining to this is the rolling shutter on the Ursa is very solid and was never an issue even when using the camera handheld. In all the work I put this camera through not once did it cross my mind that the rolling shutter made the image much worse. I consider Global Shutter to be a feature reserved for higher end cameras and there aren't many cameras close to the Ursa's price point that have it. QC Issues Like all of Blackmagic’s releases this camera has been in high demand and had a lot of people in line with pre-orders. While I can only guess, this seems to have led to difficulties in their QC process. Our unit from B&H had a small imperfection on the cameras monitor that was not generally noticeable when you had an image on screen but was definitely visible going through the cameras menus. This could very easily be damage the camera received during shipping but ether way we ended up with it, annoying. The second more pressing issue we had physically was the REAR SDI out on the camera did not work at any point in time. I tried multiple camera and full size desktop monitors and half a dozen SDI cables with no luck. This was disappointing but not something I believe Blackmagic would fix if my past customer service experience with them is any indication. This is however something that many will find unacceptable since you will be without your camera for up to several weeks depending on where you live. The last and possibly the most talked about QC issue that people have been mentioning is the magenta cast that some of the 4.6K sensors seem to be exhibiting. While I was shooting with the Ursa Mini I was using a GenusTech Variable ND filter and a Hoya IR Cut Filter since I was often outside shooting for this video and the short film. When using those two filters together I did not notice any magenta cast in any of the footage I shot, making sure to go through every shot start to finish checking for it. The corners of the frame seem to be the dead giveaway on other owners units but I did not experience such a drastic issue. That being said when I was not using the ND filter with the IR cut filter I did notice a SLIGHT magenta cast in some of my evening footage particularly at 800 ISO (Will be adding screen grabs in the morning) When I first noticed it I was a tad bit concerned however after doing a simple tint correction with in Premiere Pro (nothing fancy) I was able to remove all signs it was ever there, in fact many shots in the video originally had the slight tint and I am fairly certain you would never know it was there to begin with after colour correction was done. It is a shame others are having issues with their copy of the camera but if most currently shipping Ursa Mini’s give the images I got from the one I tested I think there will be many happy owners of this camera out there still. I do hope Blackmagic addresses this issue full swing as its one of main drawbacks being talked about this camera at the moment, but it is also something that should be fixable with time as these cameras begin shipping in larger numbers. It isn't something to brush past if you are considering this camera but if you can afford the time to correct it when it arrives the rest of the image will impress. Finally I hope you guys enjoy the video and if you have any other specific questions about the Ursa Mini 4.6k please done hesitate to ask me on twitter: @Brandon_Y_lee

I am going to be a media student next year and have made some of my own films using a 7D mark II and have loved it. However in looking for an upgrade do I stick to the world of Canon or do I migrate to this new world of mirrorless. I don't know what it is but the Canon look is so SEXY but I like the idea of having the ability to shoot in 4K. Does anyone have any ideas or which camera is supreme?

Hi, i currently have Canon EOS 1100D however the lack of a flip out screen and no autofocus while recording really bugs me. Does anyone know of any cameras with a fip out screen and autofocus while filming, the Canon EOS 70D is an obvious choice but a wee bit pricey. Any cheeper ones out there.

Hello! My dad had asked me if i can find some security cameras for our firm. He asked if i can find 3-4 cameras that can be waterproof but don't need to be and that they have nightvision and about 150-250£ max and because it is not at our house it needs to have Internet access so if someone knows some great cameras can you please link me them. Thank you!

Hey ^.^ I'm starting to get into the production side of things, like going to events and giving live streams, interviews, coverage ect. I've already asked a question on the lengths of HDMI cables and have already had a hard time finding one that is long enough. My original Idea was to have GoPro's for the static shots and 1 or two better cameras for the interviews / live coverage. So do I have a few questions for you lot 1. What would be the best capture device either internal or external to capture at least 2 GoPro's (will defiantly be expanding in the future) 2. For the other cameras, I'd be looking for something that isn't too expensive but does the Job. I'd also be looking to attach a shotgun mic (I'm confident I can find somewhere) and possibly 2 lavalier microphones. 3. What would be the best way to capture the camera(s) you suggested above? Either HDMI? SDI Video Input? If there is anything else you can recommend with networking or anything like that feel free to do so. I'd be using OBS-Studio to put everything together and then send it out. I do have to go for a little while but I'll look forward to reading the responses when I get back

Researchers at MIT have developed a technique that could lead to higher quality 3D cameras that could be used in Smartphones and Autonomous vehicles. This technique could also lead to being given the ability to take a picture of an object, then use a 3D printer to create a replica. MIT researchers have shown that by exploiting the polarization of light — the physical phenomenon behind polarized sunglasses and most 3-D movie systems — they can increase the resolution of conventional 3-D imaging devices as much as 1,000 times. When polarized light gets the bounce If an electromagnetic wave can be thought of as an undulating squiggle, polarization refers to the squiggle’s orientation. It could be undulating up and down, or side to side, or somewhere in-between. Polarization also affects the way in which light bounces off of physical objects. If light strikes an object squarely, much of it will be absorbed, but whatever reflects back will have the same mix of polarizations that the incoming light did. At wider angles of reflection, however, light within a certain range of polarizations is more likely to be reflected. This means that for any surface in a visual scene, measurements based on polarized light offer two equally plausible hypotheses about its orientation. Canvassing all the possible combinations of either of the two orientations of every surface, in order to identify the one that makes the most sense geometrically, is a prohibitively time-consuming computation. Polarization plus depth sensing To resolve this ambiguity, the Media Lab researchers use coarse depth estimates provided by some other method, such as the time a light signal takes to reflect off of an object and return to its source. Even with this added information, calculating surface orientation from measurements of polarized light is complicated, but it can be done in real-time by a graphics processing unit, the type of special-purpose graphics chip found in most video game consoles. The researchers’ experimental setup consisted of a Microsoft Kinect — which gauges depth using reflection time — with an ordinary polarizing photographic lens placed in front of its camera. In each experiment, the researchers took three photos of an object, rotating the polarizing filter each time, and their algorithms compared the light intensities of the resulting images. On its own, at a distance of several meters, the Kinect can resolve physical features as small as a centimeter or so across. But with the addition of the polarization information, the researchers’ system could resolve features in the range of hundreds of micrometers, or one-thousandth the size. For comparison, the researchers also imaged several of their test objects with a high-precision laser scanner, which requires that the object be inserted into the scanner bed. Polarized 3D still offered the higher resolution. A mechanically rotated polarization filter would probably be impractical in a cellphone camera, but grids of tiny polarization filters that can overlay individual pixels in a light sensor are commercially available. Capturing three pixels’ worth of light for each image pixel would reduce a cellphone camera’s resolution, but no more than the color filters that existing cameras already use. The new paper also offers the tantalizing prospect that polarization systems could aid the development of self-driving cars. Today’s experimental self-driving cars are, in fact, highly reliable under normal illumination conditions, but their vision algorithms go haywire in rain, snow, or fog. OPINION High resolution smartphone images are great and all but what piqued my interest the most would be the ability to create a 3D print out of any given object. I also like the idea of autonomous vehicles taking advantage of this technology to further increase their accuracy on the road. Have any other ideas on how this technology could be used? Feel free to post down below and give critique's on how I could better future news posts.
