Recommendation for Empire Tech 2-way Full Frigate Support?
I agree with Wittaj's recommendation. The 4M-T would be the wisest choice. I have replaced my 54IR's with 4M-T's, and while my T54Pro might make a good door stop, it pales in comparison to the 4M-T and 54IR. -

IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 - IR night performance
Sounds good. The bullets are great, if you don't mind the appearance, compared to the turrets. I just ordered a B54IR-ZE-S3 yesterday, as I assume that model of camera will start to disappear soon. Nothing beats the B54IR-Z4E-S3 for nighttime illumination, but it would be a bit long where I need... -

IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 vs IPC-B54IR-ZE-S3 - IR night performance
Yes, the AS is better at night than the ZE, but only slightly. However, there is a significant difference between the bullet and turret at night, since the bullet has much stronger IR and does not have the center hotspot of IR like the turret. One thing I dislike about the T54IR-AS-S3 is the... -

IPC T54IR-ZE-S3 initial setup for mobile and desktop
That's definitely not the experience I have had. Just replaced another T54IR-ZE-S3 with a Color4M-T yesterday. Here are a couple screenshots off my NVR. The T54IR of course is a zoom, and the Color4M-T is 3.6mm, but you can still see where the Color4M-T looks a lot better at night and it is even... -

IPC T54IR-ZE-S3 initial setup for mobile and desktop
Looks like you need more light than what is provided by the T54IR-ZE-S3 for the scene. The IR of the IPC T54IR-ZE-S3 is weak and has a hotspot in the center, which may be the cause of detection/non-detection errors at night. I had the same problem in dark areas until I replaced three T54IR-ZE-S3... -

Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!
Good thing I never used it. This was on the Dahua site. -

Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!
Sounds like you use a PC, so I am no hope there since I use a Macintosh, but last week I was having trouble accessing a camera to make changes, which had previously never happened before. I finally figured out that after updating the Mac to the newest Tahoe OS that it had somehow made changes to... -

Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!
Yes, I use IVS on both of them and have never had an incident where either has been tripped by accident, and I have been using them for years. The only thing I dislike about the IVS on the T-180 is that it is most sensitive in the middle of the image. IVS on the sides will hardly ever set off a... -

Firmware for IPC‑Color4K‑T180 now I have a non working camera; help!
Just uploaded the files for you. Yes, I did upgrade to System Version 3.140.0000000.43.R Build Date:2025-12-12, and it is working well on both cameras. -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
Yes, the S3 has a much better image, but the 4M-T has the speaker that works great. That's why I don't use the S3 there. The best speaker of all-time is the one in the Dahua N55DU82. Only problem is that it is worse than both the S3, S2, and 4M-T at night. In the daytime the image is probably... -

T54PRO-ZE vs IPC-Color4M-TZ
One thing I have since set up for the Color4M-T overseeing the porch and front entry door is a motion detection zone with another camera for anyone entering my yard between 11pm-5am. The intrusion will send the alarm signal to my NVR, which then outputs to a wireless switch connected to a... -

B54PRO-Z4E first impression
Today I swapped out the B54PRO-Z4E for the B54IR-Z4-S3 (again). I like the daytime image of the B54PRO more than the B54IR because of the better dynamic range and color palette, but at night the B54IR is a better choice. The noise from the sensor on the B54PRO negatively affects the image, and... -

Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series
I like the Color4M-T for the front door. This morning in the dark, as the mail carrier delivered a package, the smart illumination worked great.
