    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Just finished loading the 12.17.25 firmware update to the B54PRO-Z4E. Uploading the firmware to the T54PRO-ZE now. First impression is that it looks good. Very dark outside tonight with no moon, yet the image seems to be a lot brighter with this first test. I'll plan on doing some tests tomorrow...

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-T54PRO-AS 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP WizColor

    Definitely agree with you on the HLC on the B54OPRO-Z4E. Tested HLC-1 out with the Color4M-T cameras, but for them the WDR seems to work better.

    Yes, you are correct. When I first started mounting my 4K-X cams I used a PFA-130E box, and it worked great. However, when I decided to swap out the 4K-X cams from time-to-time, I realized that a square box would allow me to use both 3-hole and 4-hole mounting cams (PFA-121 and PFA-122). It sure...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Maybe someone can explain this to me, because I can't figure it out. All of my cameras look the same whether I am viewing them using SmartPSSLite or with a browser on my computer. (They have the same brightness characteristics.) However, the same is not true when I am viewing the B54PRO-Z4E and...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    It's a 0-6 shutter with "43" 3D-NR and "37" 2D-NR. I have a center 3000 lumen light on my garage stay on at night. 3000 lumen motion sensor lights to the left and right of the garage light; so 9000 in total if they are all on.

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I'm continuing to experiment with the B54PRO-Z4E as a LPR, until the next revision of Andy's firmware becomes available. The camera works well as a LPR. Take for instance the example of this truck driving down my driveway at 2:40am this morning. The camera picks it up, even though it is apparent...

    Yeah, behind my house is a paper street; so some people use my driveway to drive to the back of their houses. That's the reason I have four cameras pointed at the driveway. (B54PRO-Z4E, Color4K-X, Color4K-T180, and PTZ4M-25X-PV)

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    The end of the asphalt driveway is 60 feet. After playing around with the settings, I returned it to the normal night settings for tonight, so I didn't write anything down. I just remembered reading the common settings that all of you have posted and started about 1/1000 sec. and just...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Just for fun last night, I tried the B54PRO-Z4E as a LPR. The setup position appears to be the perfect angle. The B54PRO to capture the plate and the 4K-X to identify the car in passing.

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Yes, my two T180's have trouble with IVS on the sides also. The center is very stable. The angle that the camera is mounted makes a difference too. If the angle is too low, IVS will often fail to trigger. It really needs to be looking down at its subject. My results were greatly improved when I...
