    2.8 PTZ

    I am considering this camera to cover the side of the house with no camera coverage so far. I know this camera is too weak to get good night time, but this is about the budget I can justify (cannot shell $600+ for a better 180+plz). This camera should be fine for yard area it will cover and zoom...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    I am not understanding one thing: can the cameras move left and right away from the wide view camera? The information out there is not clear. The video by Andy on Youtube shows left and right arrows, and @wittaj mentioned here there is some micro adjustment from remote. But chatgpt insists that...

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    Thanks for the idea wittaj. I have a couple of those devices. I think I tried some years ago and didn't work, but will give it another try. Maybe its a matter of trying to stay on plugs that are on the same feed (got two feeds at home). Or maybe they are too old and I should buy new ones :)

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    I like to resuscitate this thread if possible. What I am trying to achieve is an internal security perimeter that will detect human entering the house. I use Synology Surveillance Station, and through that I can do a lot, including triggering sirens, sending warning through an IP speaker (I have...

    Andy - Empire Tech Review

    Well, I am not sure who I talked with the past few days, but I literally asked in my first email to talk over the phone and was never given the option. 1 email per day is not very helpful when troubleshooting a problem, particularly when the responses are generic. The email I was talking to was...

    Andy - Empire Tech Review

    Old thread, but I have to say I have a completely different experience with Andy. Not good at all. No way to talk with a person. Slow emails that take 1-2 weeks to resolve a problem or ask for a return. I have communicated three times in the last two years. Each time has been the same unhappy...

    Panoramic PTZ

    Does anyone have night footage for PTZ3E10X-T180? I am trying to find if it will work on one side of my house where I have no other cameras and no coverage at all. Anybody knows the corresponding Dahua model for PTZ3E10X-T180 ?

    Empiretech: IPC-T54PRO-AS vs IPC-Color4M-T

    @bigredfish , thanks for the tests. What's the verdict so far, does the new pro color series work as well as the color4m? I am thinking particularly the speed it turns the smart illumination on. Can't understand well from you video because you have other motion lights that are helping it. My...

    Empiretech: IPC-T54PRO-AS vs IPC-Color4M-T

    I have a few IPC-Color4M-T cameras, they turn on the warm light automatically when a person shows up. That's great. I am getting ready to replace some other cameras and saw a very similar IPC-T54PRO-AS. Seem to have stronger warm light maybe, but I don't know if the rest works the same as the...

    Can REOLINK Doorbell Battery camera record 24/7 on NVR?

    But still, how is a battery camera connected to the NVR. Does it go online and offline all the time when people ring the bell or move in front of the camera?

    Oops, I thought wiring the battery camera gives the power it needs, and uses the battery just as backup if power goes out...

    Can REOLINK Doorbell Battery camera record 24/7 on NVR?

    The Google search AI says that Reolink Doorbell battery version cannot record full time. I have wires from my old door bell (18 Volt AC) but I don't know if the NVR can record full time from this camera when the camera is wired? Do I need to get the Reolink Doorbell WiFi version if I want to...

    Event linkage to trigger event on camera B from camera A

    No response here, but no problem because I think I resolved the issue within Synology itself by disabling the specific tripwire notificatons from specific cameras. Case closed.

    Event linkage to trigger event on camera B from camera A

    Is there a way to send a command to Camera B (Empiretech Z12E) directly from another camera A (Empiretech Color4M)? I can do a Send Command Linkage and put the URL of camera B, but I have not found a way to trigger an event. I have read back and forth the HTTP API document v3.26, and even parsed...

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    Thanks @wittaj , and what a pleasant price. You actually woke up my imagination. I already have cameras that have a speaker, and an old Amcrest worked fine to test things right away. It works! Are the cameras suggested above any good for speaker purposes, has anyone used them?

    Strange, no recommendations yet. Ok guys, I promise I will buy Blue Iris. JK.

    Best camera for indoors + good speaker

    Here is my deal. I need an IP Speaker to connect to my Synology station and use for alerts inside the home. The camera will be on a cabinet in the living room. For example, when a car or person comes in the driveway I can make a rule to play a sound on the speaker. This can also be helpful at...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Oh, I have learned that lesson. The 0-0.8 used to be my LPR attempt at night which does not work on the PTZ. Now I have a dedicated Z12E for LPR but kept the night LPR on the PTZ lingering at twilight hours, to keep getting some plates with the PTZ. Btw, all cars pass in front of the LPR cam...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    Thanks @bigredfish . I will have other cameras to pick up those cars, but was just wondering if there is a trick I am missing on this PTZ. The picture is not entirely bad, it's just that IVS of this camera seems not well trained at night. @wittaj , the 0-0.8 was taken with the sun out, the...

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    I can try that. Just fyi, it can pick up cars when the schedule hits my old Night Settings I used to have for license plate pickup: And here is the current night setting (General) that does not pick up the cars (I may need to work on this as you guys are suggesting here).

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    IVS lines, the line supposed to capture it is on the left. I played with that line too, had it further right and thought there isn't enough time for IVS to know it's a car before knowing is crossing the line, so I moved it to the left. The current line on the right is my trigger to rotate and...

    Same car detected by Color4M with a small tripwire in the upper right corner.

    PTZ425DB-AT cannot detect vehicles with IVS at night

    This one is driving me crazy for months. As soon as we hit night hours, the IVS has serious problems to detect vehicles. The same tripwires work fine during the day (mostly), but at night it's like vehicles are invisble. Not sure if there are my night settings which are currently a bit noisy. I...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    My mistake, sorry, I was searching for "micr" instead of "mic". Synology is still all over the place with these cameras. I will look elsewhere in the forum for threads related to Synology pains.

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    @bigredfish , you mention in the other thread that IPC-Color4M-T Empiretech corresponds to Dahua IPC-HDW3449H-AS-PV-PRO. However, that Dahua camera does not have a microphone and speaker I think. So, I don't know which Dahua model the Color4M exactly corresponds to. My Synology has the profile...

    IPC-Color4M-T vs IPC-T54IR-ZE White

    Do you guys have MD and SMD on? I have been fighting with every possible setting and just now managed to trigger the warm light on, after enabling MD and SMD. Are these needed to be on?
