    After market and pre market are heavily manipulated. And typically very low volume. I use after market hours up to 8pm to dump stuff on people chasing at a price I couldn’t get in the real session

    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    I didn't say "better" I said "equal to" the 5442-S3 Add white lights and the ability to activate them via IVS on a 5442-S3 and they would have sold out of them. The moving image on the new cameras is clearly inferior to the 5442 in quality, we all agree on that. Most companies that produce...

    Need recommendations on PTZ cameras.

    For a residential home I would go with this, though be aware nighttime IR is weak. As @wittaj says its not on the ideal sensor size. But with adequate ambient light (street lights etc) its fine. DO NOT get the smoked lens version Also most folks find out real quick that a PTZ should be used to...

    . Just to clarify to new readers, the sensors on the new series Wizcolor 2/3/5 are NOT the same sensor from the 5442 series we typically reference as the go-to for image quality.

    IVS rules on the spotter mean Nothing to the PTZ... The PTZ has no idea a spotter cam exists IVS rules MUST be set on each Preset of the PTZ Each IVS rule has a target ratio to determine zoom level (too little it wont zoom, too much it will zoom a lot but easily lose the target becasue its...
