2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

I know there are Dome Cams outdoors but to me they make more sense indoors...

Under an overhang or inside an enclosed space like a front door entrance they're fine and no problem at all.
I have a mini PTZ outside under an eave and its been fine for 3 years

The reason that one in particular was interesting is that is 4MP on a 1/1.8 sensor and has Activation of white lights on IVS
So far the only two others that have this are the 54PRO and 3449 TIOC PRO both of which have shitty noise on moving subjects
IF this one is more like a 5442 with IR and white light activation, I'd buy 4 of them for 2x the price

Again, the camera we all want is a 5442 with white LEDs AND IR, Dual illumination, with your choice to run IR and activate the white LED's on IVS activation

In Houston, being very humid, I would guess that a dome would not be a good choice...but we see them in parking lots at retailers there so guess they work ok...

No wonder the gals don’t wear domes in Houston :rofl: at least that’s what I’ve been told

Too much humidity = too much moisture

It's just as humid here in Florida. I have a mini ptz dome since 2020 and it still works fine. It is under an eave on the corner of the house

Freeze Frame 54pro ZE : 1/120 shutter

I would recommend increasing the maximum shutter time to 20ms (1/50 sec). The NR algorithm in these cameras has a bug that causes it to become more aggressive (too much so) as it brightens an image that was too dark, resulting in the motion blur increasing again (this time, over multiple frames instead of just one). The sweet spot is finding the slowest shutter speed that keeps this digital motion blur to a minimum while not introducing too much shutter blur. Beyond that, all you can do is add more light; forcing the camera to maintain a fast shutter speed doesn't stop the motion blur caused by the algorithm stacking frames.

I'll give it a try today. But I'm going to replace the camera and sell it anyway.
