Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

Yes plus the other issue is the larger the sensor, the larger the lens required, the larger the housing etc and that equals more cost. Also, more capable sensors will probably need more capable chipsets, another expense. I believe it can be done, but it probably needs some kind of deal between someone like Dahaua / Hik and Sony for sensors / processor packages and lenses. The problem atm I believe is they're just too expensive for CCTV, hence the $10k camera of 2016 - Sony A7SII sensor package and lens I believe but way beyond any mainstream users budget. Tech 101 (not sure if he's still around these forums) had one on here and the results were sublime, but nearly $10k all in with the housing, heater, lens and camera!!!! If they can make that $350 they might have a mass market!

Hopefully that's a preview of a $350 future. Not holding my breath though.
 
Hi guys,

I have 5 T54ir connected to a Dahua NVR (5216 4ks2) and the target box overlay is not appearing anywhere, so when it triggers I've to identify what triggered it manually. Any idea of wha config can be missing or it's simply that my NVR is too old? If I open the camera webui I can see the target overlay when I enter in the image. Thanks

If you go to playback @cpd5215 you also have the target box?

I really wish I could help more at this point, but I’m away from my computer and I’m just on my phone but like others have mention you definitely configure in the camera interface directly. I just can’t remember what setting it is.
 
I guess my NVR is messing things up, I just have everything configured in the cameras, NVR just to trigger the alarm ports and record, I connect the apps to the NVR but no boxes. It's frustrating
 
On your NVR
For Displaying IVS rules on the Live View, go to DISPLAY and check the AI rule box

On the NVR Playback, you have to toggle the IVS/AI rule icon

On the iPhone DMSS App I'm not certain. I have an older version 2.1 July 2025 and dont see how to activate it.
Possible newer versions allow it as shown by @cpd5215
