    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    I may have ordered one from Andy's site, but by some odd quirk of the order system, I don't have a confirmation. Presuming a camera arrives, it will definitely get compared against my S3's

    Ever had trouble pulling cables in/out of the PTZ mounting arms like PFB303W? I often struggled getting camera cables fed through without it getting stuck. No more.... The solution is simple and quick. Take a round profile metal file and smooth out the sharp edge at the inner 90 degree bend...

    What a Difference 10 Years Make in Camera Capability

    Was looking through some old security system archived files and ran into some footage from 10 years ago. Night time capture has come a LONG ways.
