    5.9.9 - January 17, 2025 - More Pre-6.0 feature releases

    As of this post BI is recommending 5.9.9.52 as the highly stable update. However it has stutter at playback of video. Upgrading to 5.9.9.57 fixes this for me.

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Interested in an update for the super PTZ as well. Turns out there was string of car break ins today and I am the only one with video. Unfortunately only got partial plates on one vehicle (stolen) and not the other. The hope is that the IR distance is as good as advertised as lighting is...

    I hope so. But could be the power of marketing as well.

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Can you say if the Super PTZ is a laser IR? I don't believe it is, but maybe they got rid of the white LEDs and only have IR LEDs? Seems interesting it doubled from 250m to >500m Can't wait for the spec sheet.

    DS-2DF9C453LXG-LW 4 MP 53X PTZ Dual-sensor, 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS

    I suspect Dahua is going to discontinue the use of the Starvis sensors over time. I'd think Starvis 2 sensors would be better performing that Omnivision but that is just a guess. I was going to reach out to @EMPIRETECANDY to see if he can get the price on the Hikvision DF9 in 4MP and 8MP, but I...

    what is the Dahua camera that would replace this Hikvision speed dome DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW?

    As far as I know there is no 1/1.2" sensor in the Dahua PTZ lineup anymore.

    what is the Dahua camera that would replace this Hikvision speed dome DS-2DF8C842IXS-AELW?

    The problem is that is EoL already.

    DS-2DF9C453LXG-LW 4 MP 53X PTZ Dual-sensor, 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS

    The hope is there is one with a 1/1.2" sensor. But Dahua stopped using 1/1.2" in their PTZ line unfortunately.

    DS-2DF9C453LXG-LW 4 MP 53X PTZ Dual-sensor, 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS

    Interesting as well. I have found Hikvision PTZs to be hit or miss on detection of objects as well. I think that Dahua has a better tracking system, but unfortunately they do not have a laser PTZ as far as I know.

    DS-2DF9C453LXG-LW 4 MP 53X PTZ Dual-sensor, 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS

    Yes, you're right the datasheet does say that, but the front page does not. Interesting... It seems like your sample focuses well. I bought DS-2DF8C835MHS-DELW and I have constant issues with focus while auto-tracking that I've had to relegate it to a stationary cam. Worst of all, it still has...

    DS-2DF9C453LXG-LW 4 MP 53X PTZ Dual-sensor, 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS

    You mention it has dual sensors, but the Hikvision website doesn't have that verbiage. So is it really dual sensors or not? Also, did you purchase this through Andy? If so, can you DM me the price?

    EmpireTech PTZ4K45X-AI / SD8C845FG-HNF - Discontinued

    Sorry for the late reply, but I am not aware of an equivalent replacement due to the sensor size.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Dahua is very bad about messing up the release notes and putting a link back to the product. I agree with the rest of what you said and is good to know about Dahua following Andy's lead. Was just seeing if there is anything from Andy's side as a result.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    There is a 9/24/24 release for this on Dahua's website. Is this something that Andy would recommend for his cameras? For example, does it include SmartIR?

    @EMPIRETECANDY I found it. And it was inside the bottom piece. I had taken it out and thought it was "under" the bottom piece and checked there earlier.

    2024 EmpireTech Autumn Sale Plan

    Installed a IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3, today. It didn't include the star bit tool unlike the original 5442 cameras. I check my other 54IR and found it didn't have it either. Is that to be expected?

    https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/All-Products/Discontinued-Products/PTZ-Cameras/SD8C845FG-HNF Of the 3 PTZs I have, this one is the best by far. Pick one up while you can! My Hikvision ds-2df8c835mhs-delw was a dud. Unfortunately Hikvision doesn't seem to care about troubleshooting it...

    Face Detection Snapshot with SD8C845FG-HNF

    For owners of SD8C845FG-HNF this thread, how is the auto focus and auto tracking? Any stuttering / video pauses when running at 15 or more FPS with H264 set at a constant bit rate?

    EmpireTech 7 Years Anniversay Promotion Plan

    Tempting because of my issue with the Hikvision PTZ 4K 1/1.2". I just haven't had time to troubleshoot further. Is DH-SD8C845FG-HNF dual sensor? Doesn't show that on the spec sheet. Also are the min illumination values correct? Min. Illumination Color: 0.005 [email protected] B/W: 0.0005 [email protected] 0 lux...

    BI has lost my Speeddome, well some what

    Does it autotrack OK without adding it to BI? You've said it doesn't have auto tracking, but then you say it stops at 90 degrees.

    BI has lost my Speeddome, well some what

    Did you setup to allow ONVIF access after factory reset? On a separate topic, when your PTZ is smart tracking, how is the focus? I'm finding mine to be out of focus almost all of the time when auto tracking. If you have any advice, please let me know.

    which PoE switches are recommended and work for all cameras?

    It depends on what cameras you have and their POE requirements. I’ve been using Brocade switches for POE and POE+ devices without issues. In the past when trying to power a PTZ that was of the POE+ type with a cheap switch, it wouldn’t work. If you have POE++ or Hi-POE requirements, then the...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech

    I haven't reset and updated 8 cameras. One did act strange as the night/day detection isn't work automatically. I've set a schedule in the mean time to work around it. One other camera started to get more stuttering than usual. A reboot seems to have fixed that. I intend to reset, but haven't...
