    Would a T58IR work best here?

    I'm trying to get a camera to replace this one. I want one that can use the same view ( down just a bit) but have enough clarity to see the colors of the traffic lights. I get a ton of crashes here and that's the first thing the Cops ask, is if I can see the color of the lights. Would a T58IR...

    Hard drive recommendations

    It's been a while since I've bought hard drives. My last ones were a seagate enterprise and a wd purple. I think with all the AI on the camera now that it wouldn't matter so much on a specific surveillance drive as long as it can write fast enough and has a long endurance rating. I'm looking...

    How To Increase Camera Sales

    Y Im new to both versions lol, old and new. I have a couple used t5442-ze and it throws me off when I go into their menu. The menu and sub menus are different. Some names are changed or some options are on different pages. So while mine are just sitting here on a test setup while I slowly...

    How To Increase Camera Sales

    That animal detection is the reason I didn't just buy a few more used 5442's for my installation. I'm going from a BNC system to IP so I'm going to do it all at once, once I get all the cameras. I have 3 more turrets and 2 alley cams to get and then I can install them. Lucky for me I used...

    EmpireTech 9th Anniversary (Summer)Sales

    I read about that and it was the reason I bought straight from his website instead of Amazon. Amazon was in the wrong for that and wanting picture after picture on top of it. Sellers shouldn't have to do all that when it's clearly not what it was supposed to be. As for the t54 series, I...

    EmpireTech 9th Anniversary (Summer)Sales

    It's probably not going to be but is the refurbished paged going to updated again before the sale ends? I bought one t58ir 3 days before the sale to see how it would work with my location and I could use 3 or 4 more of the t54ir in either a 2.8 or ze version. Maybe t58ir in the same...

    Andy do you have a camera that has a better lense than the IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E? all of mine start leaking and fogging up in a year or so

    Even if glass is not possible or financially feasible, surely Andy could just get some OEM replacements and start selling them as an accessory or a "refresh kit". Even if they only last a couple years I think spending $5 vs a new camera is not bad.

    I noticed that today after I did a ipc-54ir-as-s3 and a ipc-58ir-ze-s3. Then I did a ipc-58ir-se-s3 and seen the firmware was the same for them all.

    Do you have a link to the newest firmware for the IPC-T58IR-SE S3. I couldn't find it, just the ZE version.

    Does the "UP" position really matter?

    Does the cameras install position matter? It has the up stamped on the top right next to the sd card door and that just seems like a bad spot. Would it not be better to have the door on the bottom of the camera? I know it can mirror and do a 180 flip so the image woud be the same but I don't...

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    They are all just basic Samsung cameras from this kit so any upgrade is going to be a huge upgrade for me. Just waiting for the anniversary sale to go live :) https://www.wisenetlife.com/en/product/All-in-One/SDH-C85100BF/feature/

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    This is my current big box store setup that's getting replaced. This post was more of a do you think a color4k-t 180 would work in the middle with that light. People come out of that alley and walk right next to the red car. It will still have cameras on both sides of it. Either the 54ir or...

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    This is my driveway when all other lights are off except mine. The camera that sees the top of the car is probably 14 feet high. It will get lowered to about 8. There's also another camera that sees the right side of the car but it's too far away for color.

    Is it a max limit of 5 tickets or just 5 tickets you can buy? Like if I buy 5 cameras could I buy 5 more tickets for a total of 10?

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    Yeah, that's what was confusing me. It didn't make sense to have it on a non 180 camera with EPTZ unless it could actually use the variable focus zoom range that the 58ir ze has. My usage case would be like when someone dumps a load of tires in the alley or tree limbs right next to the...
