    Struggling with EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    Since I bought this camera, it's just been a struggle for me. I am on a Unifi system, and have another Empiretech PTZ connected which has been working real well. Now, EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2 when I added it to my Unifi system and have AI port, it would always be the longest duration to...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    East Orlando I've zoomed in to the max, that focus is what i could get closest for a bit clarity but i know both day/night are being adjusted with same settings, so can try to focus in more. what would you recommend for the exposure?

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    These are latest settings, I spent quite a bit of time yesterday by having a parked car but overall i could not get it very clear - it also impacted Day Focus/Zoom - but got it to a point where I was like OK - the images are blurry. Now, if a car is moving slowly it seems to read better but at...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    @wittaj - i recall at one time you mentioned having different zoom/focus profiles for Day & Night but I've noticed that I can just revert to one. If I make adjustments at night to night profile section, that same setting continues to Day. Unless I'm missing on how to separate the zoom/focus...

    Suspicious Car and Plate Not Clear - Need Recommendation on Next Steps

    Hi - for the past 10 days I've noticed a suspicious car that slows down in our area, in some cases even stops in front of the house for a moment then circles out. In one case they lowered their window as well where the PTZ I have captured them. I have a feeling they have come by again but my...

    will do, daytime works out real well. i am actually going to park next to the car at the near range, so it's visible at the other corner/distance, you are right at night to get some level of focus im using car parked a bit further up.

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Attached are the settings. I changed sharpness down to 5 for every night and now reverted back today to higher as I am seeing better results. I have one video that i just caught of a strange behavior by the driver but what sucks is can't read or makeout the plate. I think it says ERA1 F94...

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    This is the response I got from Unifi on the AI Port not detecting the LPR at night on the Dahua camera. " The AI Port processes the plain RTSP video stream directly from the camera to run its detection algorithm. If the objects in the feed aren’t clearly visible or well-defined, the AI Port...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    sounds good, will keep at it - i guess what im having a hard time understanding is that others who've posted clear LPR plates are zoomed further out than I am. Ex. this one to which you responded -- https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/auxiliary-ir-illuminator-for-lpr.80103/post-903031 I am viewing...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    Exactly same as bigredfish. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/empiretech-aka-dahua-lpr-settings.74294/post-955321 Only difference is I don't have 30fps setting in mine, only goes to 25fps. I just modified it now to be 1/2000 shutter with gain 40 to 60 to test as I saw that someone had posted in...

    Auxiliary IR Illuminator for LPR

    Can I ask what software or app allowed you to pick up the plate? For example when i saw the video I could not pause and detect the plate, but your plate detection in that video was amazing clairty.

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    yeah i will have to do that its difficult as im sure will have to use some help by having someone from the house park the car in middle, and then i will have to adjust with laptop at home.
