    2026 New Release from EmpireTech

    Has anyone tested this camera? The 180 degrees camera fits a spot for me.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I don't scan with the camera I just have like 4 presets that it switches to every 5 mins (I might end up making it longer)

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Just curious how you guys have this camera set up? Are you having the camera do a scan back and forth? Move from preset to preset? (How long between presets?) Pattern? I use the presets and have them switch every 5 mins. I thought about using the scan feature but I worried about wearing out...

    DMSS app and creating an account

    I have a new NVR, don't use P2P, and my alerts are still there when I close the app. :idk: So no real advantage of making an account, for me at least.

    DMSS app and creating an account

    I have yet to create an account for the DMSS app to view cameras (just always cancel out of the screen). But now recently the prompt is becoming more frequent. Are you guys making an account? What is the advantage of making one?

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I figured this out. Turns out I needed to add a 2nd schedule for the off hours scheduled.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I have presets that are set and I am running a tour group where it's moving from one preset to another every 3 mins. That all works great. However, I only want to have this tour run during set hours. So I created a schedule in the scheduled tasks and set the day and time area where I want it...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I know the sensor is not ideal... I've gotta work with what I have. Any recommended image adjustments to help with night quality? It's all stock setting. Lower light availability. Day time is great. Thanks

    PTZ5A4M 25X PTZ Delay when commanding.

    Is this PTZ command delay common amongst other users of this camera or is it specific to just you? I’m curious because I have a new one sitting in a box waiting to be deployed.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I didn't realize this has been asked a couple tines above me. My bad, but I still ask the question because maybe there is something that was fixed that I'm not aware of.

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    I just picked up one of these cameras. Bench testing and to get familiar with it before it goes to its designated place. Should I upgrade the FW? If so, what is your best advice to do so. Thank you

    Need Help SD8C845FG-HNF Not Communicating

    Good explanation. That’s just poor business decisions to not adapt to changing technologies. IE has been extinct for YEARS now. I wouldn’t complain as much if we could use smart pss to make ivs and other technical adjustments.

    Three cameras offline after storm

    I would start by trying to connect one of the non responding cameras into a known working Poe port.

    I feel like browser compatibility could be something they could easily fix. Not sure why they haven’t spent the time to do that though.

    Need Help SD8C845FG-HNF Not Communicating

    How long has this camera been installed for? Did you update the firmware recently? Are you using outdoor rated cable? Are you keeping the RJ45 connections watertight? Maybe try a new switch

    How many PTZ's are you running?

    My thought exactly

    How many PTZ's are you running?

    Dang you guys have way more than I imagined. Obviously not home installs.

    How many PTZ's are you running?

    Just a random chit chat question but how many (if any) PTZ's are you guys running on your system?

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    Good info. I think we all wish that they could make the compatibility with browsers much more reliable.

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    Well I’d rather ask for others experiences and how it reacts before diving in.

    Perfect. Thank you

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    According to the spec sheets on both cameras they say the web gui works on Safari. Can anyone confirm that it actually does, especially setting IVS lines?

    How does the picture seem at night to you? Can you provide a video or picture?

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    My install will need to be a PFB300C mount. I’ve gotta get around a gutter down spout and the one you mentioned wouldn’t work for me unfortunately. My only concern is wind. Is it going to move or jiggle.

    Can you provide a few pics of how you mounted this outside?

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    Have you guys used this camera for a while? Which browser works with it? I'm on a mac so compatibility is important to me.

    PTZ5A4M-25X vs PTZ4M-25X

    This is the thread I was looking for. Not sure if I'm happy about that or not considering what I see from the comparisons. :lmao: I've been thinking about the PTZ4M-25x but the picture of the 5A is much cleaner. More than I allowed my budget to be :idk: No one probably knows but are there...

    Looking to add a PTZ

    Yeah it's not really needed but more of just something different or fun to have. But I obviously don't want something that's crap at night.
