    I have 3 Empire Tech (Dahua) B54IR-Z4E (S3) cams for sale

    I have 3 Empire Tech (Dahua) B54IR-Z4E (S3) cams for sale. These work amazingly well as LPR's, especially at night since they have the great sensor paired with the lower 4MP. These are in perfect condition-- ONLY I cut the alarm/audio portion of the connection cable off so it's just CAT only (I...

    Calling camera expert detectives for help, please!!

    For Day, it’s on Auto (for Night it’s on B&W) but there’s no way it should think there’s not enough ambient light out… it’s bright day. And I cleaned the lens again just to make sure nothing is obstructing the sensor.

    Calling camera expert detectives for help, please!!

    Ok, did all that, including the reset button for more than 30 seconds (although that curiously didn't cause the web settings to be set back to default even though I had to re-initialize and set up the camera again.) Did the Custom mode and Night settings as you recommend. We'll see tonight, but...

    Calling camera expert detectives for help, please!!

    Yes.... Unifi UNVR. But I've been doing everything through the web interface since at this point the Unifi system only records the feed. As far as I'm aware, it can't send any commands back to the cameras right now (so no chance it's changing/affecting anything). But to be sure, I've...

    Calling camera expert detectives for help, please!!

    I’m desperate and need help, please! I purchased 2 different IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3 cameras from Andy a couple of months ago to use as LPR’s. One has performed perfectly as expected. The other has not, no matter what I do (even much back and forth with Andy for tech support.) Here are the issues...

    First Impressions of the new AI LPR camera

    Thank you for the insights. Not many people comparing the UniFi AI LPR with Axis or something outside the UniFi ecosystem. I’m trying to figure out if any 3x optical zoom (like, say, the G5 Pro) will work just as well if I add a good external IR Illuminator? Or do you suspect it’s also that the...

    Best image sensor?

    I'm trying to determine what a consensus is on which OEM/camera has the very best image sensor (under say $1,000.) I know that not all 1/1.2" sensors are created equal... I'm seeing that both Hikvision and Dahua are both using Omnivision sensors as opposed to Sony Starvis 2? Are the Omnivisions...

    Best Image settings for night moving vehicle capture on Hik 12mm 1/2.8" 8MP

    Thanks. I assume maybe it's the combo of comparable sensor size but bigger pixels (since it's 4MP instead of mine being 8MP) that's also helping...

    Best Image settings for night moving vehicle capture on Hik 12mm 1/2.8" 8MP

    Camera model? (I know it's about the light more than the hardware....)

    Best Image settings for night moving vehicle capture on Hik 12mm 1/2.8" 8MP

    Thanks all. I’ll try the manual shutter adjustments and turning down the gain. I wish there was something out there with varifocal zoom and still a 1/1.2” sensor, but this was the biggest I could find of any manufacturer with that optical zoom.

    Best Image settings for night moving vehicle capture on Hik 12mm 1/2.8" 8MP

    Hopefully an advanced forum member can help. I have 2 Hik DS-2CD3787G2T-LZSU 8MP (1/1.8" sensor) Color-vu cameras that are focused on a street about 10 meters away. Both are using the full 12mm optical zoom. I've searched and searched, but can't find anyone posting optimized settings for my...
