    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    Thanks! So EmpireTech 180* cam seems to have multiple functions in that it can zoom and focus on multiple sections for playback.

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    ok, so I just want something with a good optical zoom then vs varifocal I think. That’s what I thought, but documents and videos really don’t seem to go over this all that well

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    So here is the question I have about varifocal cameras. . . If I have them fully zoomed out normally and I catch something after the fact on recording, these are better for zooming and identifying within their given range? Or is this just to zoom in to change your frame for main time...

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    Thanks for the pics. This looks amazing! Do you have any pics or vids of people moving during the day or night? I am finding my cameras are a bit hit or miss with movement at times. i really wanted to do 180* cameras if I could to overall observe and then more specific cameras to identify

    Should I ditch Amcrest and go Empiretech?

    So I have been setting up new cameras and getting rid of my legacy Lorex setup. I tested Reolink about a year ago and was trash so I sent them back. I am now testing Amcrest and was initially impressed until going back and looking at footage and seeing smearing and pixelation on movement. I was...

    BI and Code AI problems even though not maxing out resources

    I have not read through the 306 page document yet as I have not really even gotten anything working yet other than a glorified NAS really. I guess I will start at administration and go from there. I was just kind of hoping that the bare bones turn on and run part would work decently before...

    BI and Code AI problems even though not maxing out resources

    Hello, I have a trial of BI running for now to determine if I want to purchase. I am not %100 on this software yet as the response from BI has been nill really and seems like basica camera control features are not there. Nonetheless, whenever I install CODE.AI, my BI goes on the fritz and...

    How to setup Dahua IVS with BlueIris?

    Bringing this back from the dead just to thank you for posting this as I was racking my brain and then saw this post and fixed my issue with my Amcrest camera. For the person that said there is absolutely no reason to have HTTPS on, granted you are only accessing internally to the camera...

    Is there a such thing as a camera system that is not complete trash? Suggestions?

    Sorry In my rage I did not mention my scenario. . . . So really nothing specific in mind I am looking to keep an eye on. I live in a good neighborhood with little drama. My camera adventure started out because of a hit and run with one of my vehicles that was parked out front on the street. As...

    Is there a such thing as a camera system that is not complete trash? Suggestions?

    Thanks guys, sorry for my frustration. I have been at it all day trying to get this damn camera functioning decent enough to see if it will stay and I cant even get that part right. So my Lorex cameras are about 4 yrs old. They are BNC connectors which I absolutely LOATHE due to connection...

    Is there a such thing as a camera system that is not complete trash? Suggestions?

    Pardon if I seem frustrated, but I grow tired of wasting money and more importantly time. . . . First system was a Lorex setup which has always been absolute garbage. Everything about the experience has been terrible. Their support I thought was the worst, but atleast I could get them on the...
