    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Not an option. Location isn't high enough to locate the PTZ cam to and it would be pretty much at the front door if I could - that's a big no from the WAF unit

    Attached is a Google sat image of our property with current overview cam locations. Any suggestions on Z4E locations?

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    From experience, what do you think the maximum useable distance is for Identification for a Z4E? I have 3 of them here and have a few locations (front and side) that are between 50 and 60 feet to the middle of the road (yes, I verified with Google on the distances) that I'd like supplement other...

    Random Picture(s) -- StevenFromTexas

    I see this here as well. Many on bikes and scooters with backpacks and definitely going somewhere with a purpose, all hours of the day. During the school session, there's one teen who makes the rounds to all the school bus stops in our neighborhood. I always wonder if he is the neighborhood...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Looks great in an ideal setup. Be interesting to see how it performs in less-than-ideal installations, like in a residential area.

    I'm very surprised that there's no motion blur (at least I can't detect any) in the image at default settings. Wish I could run default settings and get results that good

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    For some reason, I dropped the 100 part from the distance, I don't know why. Chalk it up to CRS

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Yeah, I think I will have to use a Z12E. My PTZ camera, just behind the post you show has a focal distance of 5 - 64mm (pretty much the same as the Z12E) and at max zoom I get the following captures of the intersection. Since it will be on the closer corner post, it should do well there

    That's a bright image for being dark. What settings are you running for this camera?

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Ok, how did you deduce that image? And the camera is on the corner post between the 2 properties - so it is roughly 152ish feet

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Sorry, I am mistaken. For some reason, I thought it was 52 feet, but it's 152 feet. What a dumbass I am. I don't know how I messed that up. I like the idea of the 4mp sensor, but feel this location really needs more zoom for it to be effective for identity. As it stands, we're barely getting...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    So glad I did not pull the trigger on the X3 with a max zoom of 25mm, because with the Z4E at 32mm the FOV isn't quite enough. I'm using a ZE and a Z4E in this location and both are at max zoom. The intersection is roughly 52 feet away from the camera. I would have thought 32mm would have been...

    That's amazing. You must have a LOT of light in this location. I can only dream of images like this. I have terrible lighting

    Is my neighbor interfering with my cameras?

    Time to change the locks if she no longer lives there

    Is my neighbor interfering with my cameras?

    He doesn't say if the ex-wife lives with him or not, but I suspect she may be involved somehow

    Is this footage raw, directly from the camera (no post corrections)?
