    Challenges in setting manual focus on IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    Let's take another example. I have a backup setting file from two months ago. I want to apply that and just go to manually set focus values to the values I know work from current installation. This is not easy to do because when I switch to day profile, the live view will switch back to night.

    Challenges in setting manual focus on IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    Yes, focus is different at night and day. And day is color.only while night is bw only. I check the night results with my car and works great (well, static plate, not moving during focus setup). Then the next night things are not good anymore, but I am not sure what is the problem. I reinstalled...

    Challenges in setting manual focus on IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    I did set the night focus at night, but early in the morning some licenses are somewhat out of focus, not sure what's happening. Need to investigate but this issue of setting focus on one page and switching to another page to save is making things difficult to investigate during the day.

    Challenges in setting manual focus on IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    I have the Z12E for a few months now. In talking around here, I came to know that you can actually set manual focus associated with a camera profile (i.e., for Day or Night). So far so good. The problem is that you can only set manual focus on the Live page, not on the Camera page on WebGui 5...

    2.8 PTZ

    I am considering this camera to cover the side of the house with no camera coverage so far. I know this camera is too weak to get good night time, but this is about the budget I can justify (cannot shell $600+ for a better 180+plz). This camera should be fine for yard area it will cover and zoom...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    I am not understanding one thing: can the cameras move left and right away from the wide view camera? The information out there is not clear. The video by Andy on Youtube shows left and right arrows, and @wittaj mentioned here there is some micro adjustment from remote. But chatgpt insists that...

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    Thanks for the idea wittaj. I have a couple of those devices. I think I tried some years ago and didn't work, but will give it another try. Maybe its a matter of trying to stay on plugs that are on the same feed (got two feeds at home). Or maybe they are too old and I should buy new ones :)

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    I like to resuscitate this thread if possible. What I am trying to achieve is an internal security perimeter that will detect human entering the house. I use Synology Surveillance Station, and through that I can do a lot, including triggering sirens, sending warning through an IP speaker (I have...

    Andy - Empire Tech Review

    Well, I am not sure who I talked with the past few days, but I literally asked in my first email to talk over the phone and was never given the option. 1 email per day is not very helpful when troubleshooting a problem, particularly when the responses are generic. The email I was talking to was...

    Andy - Empire Tech Review

    Old thread, but I have to say I have a completely different experience with Andy. Not good at all. No way to talk with a person. Slow emails that take 1-2 weeks to resolve a problem or ask for a return. I have communicated three times in the last two years. Each time has been the same unhappy...

    Panoramic PTZ

    Does anyone have night footage for PTZ3E10X-T180? I am trying to find if it will work on one side of my house where I have no other cameras and no coverage at all. Anybody knows the corresponding Dahua model for PTZ3E10X-T180 ?

    Empiretech: IPC-T54PRO-AS vs IPC-Color4M-T

    @bigredfish , thanks for the tests. What's the verdict so far, does the new pro color series work as well as the color4m? I am thinking particularly the speed it turns the smart illumination on. Can't understand well from you video because you have other motion lights that are helping it. My...
