I bought this camera from Andy at EmpireTech, who I first discovered on this forum about 8 years ago. He was highly recommended by the members here, and since then, I’ve purchased over 10 cameras and an NVR from him. Shipping has always been quick usually same or next day, and delivery within 4–5 business days both when I lived in North America and now in Australia.
I installed this camera about 55–60 feet from the target area, mounted 8 feet high at full zoom. I’m not using any separate IR lights, and there are no streetlights in the area. Even so, the built-in IR on this camera is very strong and handles the job well. All I can say is I’m impressed with the picture quality especially for license plate capture.

Finally, I want to thank the members of this forum. You’ve always been very helpful, guiding me step by step to solve problems and helping me get the best picture quality out of my cameras. I really appreciate all the knowledge and support shared here.
