    T58ir ze s3 image settings help-recommendations

    I try to catch both the Driveway and the station. WDR is bad. It didnt really do much but heres a pic with it set on 51. I can change the shutter from 0-8 to 1/60 and then its ok but that would cause motion blur right? Maybe I should swap it for one of the 54ir's.

    T58ir ze s3 image settings help-recommendations

    I have a 54ir that I could swap there. I got a ZE, 2.8, 3.6 or a 6mm. I got the 58's of the refurbished page and they were too cheap to pass up. I bought all my cams from reading all the reviews, watching videos and seeing and those zoomed in grass pictures lol. when they got here i just...

    T58ir ze s3 image settings help-recommendations

    I have 2 t58ir ze s3's and I can't seem to get them dialed in that well. I can adjust shutter, gain, wdr and they still seem to either get washed out or just look off. I'll include a few pics of them. The one dark picture of the store is with these settings 1/60 shutter, 38 gain and contrast...

    a few 5216 questions i need help with

    Yeah its the old non EI version. I figured out how to block the camera view. I had to make a new account other than admin and then you can set what channels that account can view. If you logout of that account though it will default back to admin and all channels are back on live. time to...

    a few 5216 questions i need help with

    1. Is there any way to zoom in when playing back a clip from the AI menu? Like if i select IVS human the thumbnails are good but when you play the video if the person is far away then you cant zoom and see them. is there a way to zoom in? 2. How do you block a camera from the being...

    acupick or IVS for the 58ir and 54ir

    I finally got my T58IR ze s3 up and running. The camera works great and came with acupick turned on so i left it on and added the IVS rules for tripwire and intrusion. I left for a couple hours and came back to see that acupick had picked up 7,000 cars while i was gone lol. Is there a mass...

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    No. That's the next step. I wanted to get some nice clear videos from Andy's cams and apparently a 2 camera solution to the original problem.

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    I tried. They came and put those traffic counters out but that doesn't help with wrecks and people not paying attention. My main issue is that whole side of the house is bedrooms and there's a wreck at the very least once a month. More like twice a month. They stay in the street most of the...

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    That's a good Pic too. Is it that one specifically setup for plates at night or do it have profiles that can swap to daytime

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    Yeah I've been over that part of it too. I've had many people knock on the door wanting to know if I have the video to whatever wreck they were in. It's only given to the parties involved or the police. They have solved a ton of otherwise probably unsolvable cases. even being just 1080 cams...

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    I've bookmarked the "general starting setting" I've found on here but I'm sure I'll be back with a ton of questions when I finally get them up and going.

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    I have another camera that faces the other way. Going with the lights kinda and a doorbell cam that gets the truck pretty good. At 1am they finally turn them off and it gets pretty dark. For every camera pointed one way there's another going the opposite direction in most spots.

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    Yeah, that's my plan when my budget allows for an extra camera there. Heres my night time shots. Remember this is a old 1080p system with hardly any adjustments lol. I get blinded by those floodlights across the street.

    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...

    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...
