Hi all, happy Friday! I have a strange issue with the PC I use exclusively for BI. It is not the most modern (Intel I7-6700, 16GB RAM, PCI-E Coral TPU), but copes with BI and 4 cameras fine. The issue is that, every few days, the PC just becomes inaccessible - won't wake up the attached...

thank you, that makes sense. working now

One thing I would like to do is use Blue Iris to control the schedule for day/night profile. I tried using the Dahua Sunrise/Sunset service, but it doesn’t work on this camera like my other cams (which are Dahua). Has anyone successfully configured the PTZ/Control feature in Blue Iris for this...

Regarding reading license plates, I find it ok even at night (albeit manually with some digital zoom). Here is an example from mine, snapped of a moving car at night, at least 30ft away… Video:

Ok, thanks all. Managed to get it acceptable by turning noise reduction off reducing gain to 35.

Hi all, Got my IPC-Color4k-T set up and working well. Night images are amazing! Still working on getting the best image, however I do have a query about the audio. I can't seem to get it anything near right. Audio format is currently at AAC 16k sampling rate, although I've tried most formats...

Hi all, I ordered a couple of cameras from Andy (great price and exceptionally fast shipping to UK, thanks @EMPIRETECANDY!!), one of which is a 3.6mm IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED. Now installed and just trying to get settings right for the best colour night vision... Our rear garden has some light from...

Yup. Will give Andy a chance to come back with a price before I decide though

Indeed, price varies a lot here too. But at $140 it’s surely tempting, no?

Hi, thanks for replying. Yes, looked on that site but shipping is only to US/Canada it seems. Will fire Andy a message and see what he thinks. Thanks again

Hi all, I would like to upgrade one of my 2MP cameras (IPC-HDW2231T) to an 8MP Turret, but would like to retain the excellent low-light capability, so understand I need a 1/1.2” sensor. Based on reading here, I’ve narrowed the search down to 2 cameras: EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T Annke NC800...

ah cool. I placed an order 3 days ago, but Aliexpress didn't even send an order confirmation, which I thought was strange. Money has been debited though, so assuming all is good.

Hi, just wondering if the coronavirus outbreak in China will affect shipping and delivery times? Thanks Andy

Hi, thanks for this. All prices quoted were from Andy's Aliexpress store. I have purchased a few cams from him now. Thanks again :)

I have a few of the cheaper Dahua IPC-T2431T-AS 4MP and think they perform fine. They are currently on offer with Andy for £65. I am looking for something with a little better low light performance, and was considering the IPC-T5442TM-AS 4MP @ £129, although I read the review on here that...
