    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.

    EmpireTech 9th Anniversary (Summer)Sales

    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?

    Thanks. 54ir ze for the alley it is. Lol

    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...

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    That's what I was thinking but i seen somewhere yesterday that the 58's had it. I didn't know if maybe it was just using the zoom capabilities of the camera to track better or what. Andy posted that the 58 has EPTZ. I'm hoping someone cam post a video of it and not the color4k 180...

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    The alley would definitely get IR cameras. I like the 54IR but the 58IR series can do EPTZ. I'm just not sure if it's more of a marketing gimmick or if it would actually help. Ive seen the 4k180 view with it but I haven't seen it on a 58 series yet. I know it only works from an sd card or the...

    EPTZ on the IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 or IPC-T58IR-ZE S3?

    IPC-T58IR-ZE S3 or the IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 I'm trying to find good general use ones that work in low light without auto illumination like the color4k's. Do either of these cameras have EPTZ like the color4k? Mainly if it sees something far enough away will it auto zoom and track it until it's...

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    I want to put a color4k-t180 in the middle of my double driveway with separate cameras on each side of the driveway that will crisscross. Im on a corner lot with a huge amout of traffic and people walking within a few feet of my kids windows. Right now i have a basic box store setup with 16...

    Video of a IPC-B52IR-Z12E zoom?

    Anyone have a video of the IPC-B52IR-Z12E or the s3 version going from its 5mm to 60mm? Ive found a few pictures but a video would help a lot more. Thanks
