    Quick question about camera status window

    "Quality Time" being the most important, not skimming. Attempting to learn two new complex platforms at my age is like picking up a basket of balls and thinking you can juggle :) I will endever to read more first then ask questions if its clear as mud. A lot of different pieces that need to fit...

    Quick question about camera status window

    Not it. Its not PTZ, Motion is off in BI, Motion is off in camera, SMD is off in camera, and they seem to appear even when there is no motion in the activity. It has a mind of its own it seems.

    Thats better , One thing though and it might be related to the key rate? Why does the empiretech turret have soooo many clips compared to the others???? Thanks again

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    I have a 4K Hikvision clone with varifocal lens 12mm on the far end to deal with that. There are three more cameras they drive by to get into the shop. 1200' to the road. Even have 433mhz triple pir beam sensors that trigger back to the rack. My neigbors call me "A security Enthusiast" lol...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    Yes master :facepalm: , did that after I seen the image. Wont be doing that again. I bought that camera for the IVS and inputs/outputs as its primary task. There are other cameras closer to that end of the shop that I can get the detail needed. Lot to learn..... Thanks

    Quick question about camera status window

    Under MPixels what is the second number represent? "Fieldcam" is a 5MP on a 2.8 sensor I think but shows 0.3, "Fieldreo" is a 8MP on a very small sensor (reolink crap) and shows 0.2 Now heres what I dont get. The new "Empireteck" is 4MP on a 1.8 sensor but it still shows 0.3? Also if there is...

    Did I just buy the wrong camera for the job? Newbie again.

    I received my IPC-T54PRO-A5 and am impressed with the night vision and on board intelligence. This camera was chosen to provide an escalation response to the approach to my shop by using three IVS tripwires as shown in the picture. From my initial testing the IVS and camera outputs work fine for...

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    I stumbeled on a post reply somewhere from wittaj that touched on the logic flow from MD, SMD, and IVS. As a new guy I started seeing unicorns at that point. :wow: I am attemting to get some hikvision clones IVS to play nicely and the vendor doesnt seem to have a clue.:idk:

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    So if your using onboard IVS only the camaera is looking at every frame to validate say a line crossing event even if the I frame is say 40? Got ya, I think...

    Best practice for I Frames setting based on FPS

    Just getting my head around I Frames in terms of impact on video. Lets just keep it simple for now lol So I have a 1080p empiretech with 264 encoding and I have the FPS at 20 and I Frames at 40. This is probably wrong but I understand it like this? For each 40 frames an I frame is inserted to...

    Empiretech camera Onvif alert types?

    Found the problem. or should i say Empiretechandy did and it was a simple newbie one. No one asked "did you set up a custom rule to listen for the IVS rules name" I was using the default list of items and the rules/line crossing one. uugghhh :banghead: :idk: Sorry guys for not catching that...

    Empiretech camera Onvif alert types?

    Oh thank god , Thanks wittaj... And no, I didnt touch anything else in the camera for that very reason. BTW I am on a demo version of BI but the Reolink never missed a beat. After pulling my hair out all day I switched to two other Vikylin cameras and I cant get thier IVS to to send an onvif...

    Empiretech camera Onvif alert types?

    The camera is working perfectly and recording events properly to the SD card. Followed everyones instructions, read on line for days and the camera WILL NOT send any onvif messages to blue iris regarding IVS. Going to set up a test jig in my shop and start from scratch tomorrow. I will post...

    Empiretech camera Onvif alert types?

    I set it up as described but the event is still labled Motion_A in BI clips. The camera is detecting each rule correctly in the playback on the camera from the SD card. There is probably something I am missing here, again the objective eventally would be to tie in these events into home...

    Empiretech camera Onvif alert types?

    Ah, that makes sense now. So the target filter for each rule is specific, one for car and one for person. OK, I was planning on using the Onvif triggers for home automation if my brain doesnt melt first. Thank you....

    Empiretech camera Onvif alert types?

    Sorry, just getting my test rig setup and still learning. I have a Reolink (uggh) camera that alerts specific types of Onvif triggers to BI (RED) but the Empiretech only sends a motion A alert as shown in the pictures below. Here is the BI setting Should it specify human in the Onvif...

    Subscription event 00002efd on Vikylin camera.

    I got my BI test unit up and running but I am having a problem with one camera getting ONVIF alerts. I have tried the usual with authentication off in BI and camera but I must be missing something. Here are a few shots of BI. The funny thing is the best triggers so far is from my dam reolink camera.

    PTZ425DB-AT 4MP 25x Starlight VRS Z12E S2

    I recieved my Z1S2 and I like it a lot. My question is how would the 425DB perform compared with the Z12E in the following situation. Objective capture vehicle details enough to identify type and maybe see some information of the driver. Distance 300' Daytime only. 35 degree shot of object. With...

    OMG Another example of how bad some cameras are at night.

    Cloaked porch pirate Using a new stealth suit now. Reolink 810. Not mine but thought it was kind of funny. Good example of how you should test things out before you need the footage.

    Challenging camera use case, Is it possible under $1,000

    Recieved my EmpireTech Z12E S2 and am impressed with the image clarity right out of the box. Its nice to see detail without motion blur like my other crap cams. Thanks for the suggestions. :iloveipct:

    Newbie questions regarding camera specs and functions.

    After further research I found enough information to formulate a rough plan. Back in 2000 I had a pretty high teck system with capture cards, argus NVR, IR beams , PTZ's, LPR camera, illuminators and spotlights tied into the argus system. Then I moved to the property and replaced it all with a...
