    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Comments from my 5442 post "OK, I guess I didn't think of distinguishing the objectives of the different cameras. For the 5442's in my driveway, I think I would want to focus on IDENTIFY a person coming toward the house. I did not post a video of that but I took one i think and it was pretty...

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    OK, I guess I didn't think of distinguishing the objectives of the different cameras. For the 5442's in my driveway, I think I would want to focus on IDENTIFY a person coming toward the house. I did not post a video of that but I took one i think and it was pretty good. So maybe I don't need to...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Thanks for the replying. I should have been more clear... I am not trying to capture license plates. Maybe in the future, but for now, just an overview in that FOV trying to capture general color and style of vehicle.

    Mini-Review - 5442-ZE-S3 AKA T54IR-ZE-S3 - Replacement to 5442-ZE

    Good morning, I have a 3 of these cameras (2 turrets and one bullet which is the one at the higher height in the videos) that I am trying to tweak the nighttime moving vehicles captures. Vehicles are moving 20-30mph and the turrets are fully zoomed and the bullet is not zoomed at all. All on...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Good morning all, I have the the Z4E and looking for some recommendations on tweaking the nighttime image of vehicles moving past my house at 20-30mph. Camera on most recent firmware. Zoomed in about half way with the following image settings. The lighter colored vehicles seem to get a better...

    B54IR-Z4E-S3 Iris Setting

    Oh, ok. I have the T54IR-ZE-S3 like the author here but did not see the iris control option like he had, but I was using chrome. When I get home, I will try in IE and see if the option to control the iris level pops up.

    B54IR-Z4E-S3 Iris Setting

    I have the same camera but under Iris mine only has a toggle for "Auto" and not the ability to control the level like yours... Maybe we are on different firmware..Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    True......Thanks.. By the way, I read all 226 pages of the 5442 camera (i think the manual is for multiple models) manual....whoa, what a read.

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    Gotcha. So no “snapshot” thumbnail of what actually triggered the notification just the same generic thumbnail w time snap for each and every notification. It would be nice to have that so you could quickly browse the notifications without actually clicking and playing them , know what I...

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    Hey @bigredfish ...Do you use DMSS app for push notifications? Got it all set up on my iPhone and all is working well but was wondering when I get the notification on the iPhone app, is there no way to get an actually thumbnail snapshot with the notification, rather than a generic photo the app...

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    HAHAH no problem.. I should have opened with "I have a MacBook M1 running MacOS." Just didn't think to mention since it seems all the camera settings Ive made have set no problem. Is the IVS drawing issue a common complaint.? I have read on here numerous times that IE is standard but I have...

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    Yea, "Smart PLan" is where I enabled "IVS" and then attempted to create the "Tripwire" rule... The rule did not stick... Macbook Air using Chrome if that matters however Ive been using this computer all day fiddling with settings and everything seems to "stick" and function just fine.

    New NVR and cams, trying to set basic SMD and push notifications

    Good evening @bigredfish I am sure this is user error so forgive me. Just got my first camera, (no NVR yet) same as above, to use as a test camera at different install locations. I have not installed anywhere yet cause it's too damn cold here in the midwest so I am just trying to familiarize...

    2MP vs 4MP vs 8MP

    Is he a frequent visitor? lol. Can I ask, what IR floods are you using and how are the powered? That one in the backyard seems to do very well especially since you describe the extreme darkness back there Thanks.

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    I appreciate your input. I was trying to avoid this because I’m lazy around the holidays but With some elbow grease, I could technically get network cables from my four cameras in garage area down into my basement, and then simply plug them each into the back of a POE NVR. Likewise, plug...

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    So in this scenario, would this work. I swap out my POE switch in the garage area for a regular switch and plug all those cameras in the garage area into that switch. Then run the cable from that switch down into the basement and connect directly to one of the POE ports on the NVR. Purchase a...

    I very much subscribe to this approach for most everything in my life.

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    thanks @wezal15 Now that I think of it, the set up videos I have watched were PoE NVR which obviously can put cameras on its own seperate network since it has a built-in switch right?

    Will this network setup work with EmpireTech NVR 8CH-AI and my 2 existing PoE switches

    @wittaj @Ri22o @bigredfish could I please get your input on this so I can start to run more network cables if that’s what’s needed? Any network suggestions much appreciated thanks in advance!
