    Odd camera behavior

    I honestly don't know. I set this up in 2020 using the Lorex Cloud app to access to the NVR remotely. I can't remember how it all works.

    Odd camera behavior

    This morning, I woke up to one of the PTZ cameras displaying invalid password screen on the monitor. I log into the NVR GUI and try to reconnect it by re-entering the password, no luck, it still showed the same screen. I then click the E icon to log into the camera's GUI. The camera log in...

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    I would bet since likely a different chipset, but just wondering what those who have the earlier version are running for firmware

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    By the way, what the latest firmware for this camera, anyone know? Were there improvements in updates? I believe this camera may be early version firmware.

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    The specs listed in the description are all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the info given is incorrect. The one I received definitely is a Z4E with a zoom of 8mm - 32mm. It's printed on the box and camera and with it zoomed all the way out, the FOV is roughly half of what my...

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    By the way, if anyone is interested, the seller still has a few of these cameras left. At $70, you really can't go wrong...

    Perfect. And I can always look forward to an upgrade down the road

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    Do you think it would be a good candidate for the camera I was inquiring about in this thread: Camera suggestions for dark areas at night

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    I guess it will work for now. I was really hoping this was an S3 version because as seen by your own review, there is a big improvement in image quality between the 2. Maybe I should donate it to someone if they are willing to pay shipping.

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    Going by the attached screenshot, I presume this may be an S2 version? Or is that wishful thinking?

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    Well what do you know, the QR code contains the serial number. Seen it with my smartphone. Have since updated the first photo to erase the QR code

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    Ok, I'm not seeing but I was messaged that one of the photos in this post still has the S/N on it. Am I missing something here?

    $70 and it is still new in the box

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    Here is what I get from the camera GUI. Looks like an older version. I presume it's an ok camera?

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    That's a good question, I don't know. How do I find that information?

    Is HFW5442E-Z4E similar to Empiretech B54IR-Z4E?

    I'm wondering if these 2 cams are similar in specs. I have attached a photo of the tag on the 5442 camera

    The official "WTF" thread

    Even with all we know now, the industry isn't getting any better. Its as corrupt as it was during COVID, except they are doing a little better job of hiding things. The fallout continues and we continue to pay for it.

    New speed record for LPR here

    We must have a new mule in the neighborhood who is trying to build a reputation. He's a young guy, probably 18 - 22, who is on a mission to make the fastest deliveries possible. This morning caught on our east facing LPR cam, just over 150 feet from the turn he made, he was already covering 50...

    The official "WTF" thread

    I know this is an old post, but, as far as I'm concerned, the medical industry took a nose-dive right around the time COVID happened. We got to see just how corrupt many of institutions and staff had become. Back-handed payouts from behind-the-scenes characters and government agencies to keep a...

    WTS x1 EmpireTech Cam & x2 Apple TVs

    While you don't list a model number, if it's an IPC-T54IR-ZE camera, I think you may have a tough time selling it at that price. A brand new one is just under $185 with free shipping and the new one will have a warranty. YMMV

    Any comments (or maybe better alternatives) for IPC-HDW2441T-ZS

    I'd guess the shutter speed has to be close to 1/250th to grab that shot with no blur

    Any comments (or maybe better alternatives) for IPC-HDW2441T-ZS

    Here is a photoshopped version of your resized image with BLC on with the gamma cranked way up. Yeah, you can see more, but the image is getting really noisy as the histogram is being stretched out into a wider range. You'll have tons of gaps in the shadows which will produce a lot of noise. It...

    Is it possible to get a daytime shot from this camera? It would sure help to orient others and give a better overall of the scene

    Any comments (or maybe better alternatives) for IPC-HDW2441T-ZS

    Ok, so definitely blurred, but I can't think of any camera that it wouldn't be blurred on. So, let's go back to the basic question again, what are you trying to capture here. Knowing what activities and subjects you are trying to capture will go a long way to making an informed camera decision

    And I don't see a bat in the still. Is it the object that is circled in the attached screenshot?

    It really hard to say what camera will "fit the bill" without knowing what subjects and activity you are trying to capture.
