Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

Well its 3.6mm which is what I use at most of my entrances.

Remember this is a 2MP camera and all 3 lenses face the exact same direction. It would need to be mounted pretty low otherwise you would get a reasonable image of your entryway with the near lens, and up close shots of your sidewalk concrete grain with the other two

Yep problem isn't the camera. Mine works just fine in BI.

It is likely a network bottleneck that BI is detecting.

Or insufficiently powering the camera - ironically I have seen when a POE port is failing because those errors start popping up. When I changed power, the error went away.

Thanks for pointing me to the network bottleneck. I pinged the cam and noticed the pings jump from 64 to 65. Consistent with the stutters.

Was using built in pc nic, swapped to the spare on the dual nic and it's like a floodgate was opened. I should've done it from the start, but I figured the cams wouldnt need a super fast port.

Appreciate you and bigredfish for the quick help

Good call. Makes sense. That’s what I want sure of is if there was any lens shifting.

There is lens shifting up and down within the camera GUI, but all 3 move at the same rate, so you can't make one move up and one down, etc.

Got it. Thanks

This is the relationship of the different FOVs.

Thank you. This is useful

This one arrived this evening. No surprise, it's a good bit larger than a turret, but nowhere near as large as so many PTZ units. What surprised me most was the surplus of wires coming from the camera. One RJ-45 Ethernet jack, two RCA-phono-style jacks for Audio In and Audio Out, another two-conductor with connectors for 12VDC Out, and what appears to be (I haven't grabbed my glasses and magnifier to read the incredibly tiny type) Ethernet/RJ-45 signals? I'd read the included manual to find out for certain, but it's text is rather small, as well.
