And I get that, but its proven and technically fact that fixed lens of a same series camera has better minimum illumination specs than a variable focus. Is it the difference between a bicycle and a Ferrari? No. But it is noticeable and night...

    replacing reolinks with empiretechs, camera placement suggestions

    barrel plug specs for IPC-T54IR-AS 3.6mm

    finally got some free time to play with this camera, read the manual that came in the box and it has a static ip configured. i don't have that subnet internally but it's used by the isp modem/router, no problem there. problem is that router doesn't have a poe port and i haven't got a spare poe...

    CPAI integration?

    i got frigate running cpai for detector. cpai uses yolov8 and is pretty accurate. i had it working on v0.14 and now am on v0.15rc still works well. i am using tensorrt for both btw so they are quite fast and accurate in my experience. this is the section you'll need to configure on frigate...
