    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Does this mean that my Empiretech NVR8CH-8P-2AI will be receiving a major firmware update, or that you plan a whole new model?

    Is Current 4K-T & 4K-X Inventory "-S1" or "S2"?

    He said he was going to be posting sale prices tomorrow - perhaps he'll also include an inventory update?

    Empiretech T54IR-ZE S3 still on top?

    I found this excellent review and thread "Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T wittaj Nov 10, 2024" but nothing that provides a side-by-side comparison.

    Best practice - put dummy load on unused wifi when removing antennas?

    I'm using two Reolink RLC-510WA cams that we already own - hardwired to a TP-Link Omada wireless link to our router, then to our Empiretech NVR. I want to remove the antennas but am wondering if it's best to replace them with sma dummy loads - in case the wifi is accidentally triggered it...

    Tower mount overview EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-TL OK for sky viewing?

    Does that mean I have to disconnect it from the NVR, connect it to Router (requiring a change to the IP from 10.10.x.x to 192.168.x.x). access using the Reolink program (or another - it's not a Reolink but their app seems to handle many camera)), then reconnect it to the NVR - and restore things...

    Tower mount overview EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-TL OK for sky viewing?

    I don't see a shutter speed setting in the Empiretech NVR Web gui. Exposure is set to "Day", other options are "Night" and "General". WB = "Auto". Day/Night = "Auto".

    Gunshot Detection?

    They do make inexpensive external mics for security cameras. I'd have to hunt the link but bought a couple recently. The only info on the boxes is USA Sale Group, Model number: 008 and titled "Microphone for CCTV Security Camera". They had good reviews but I haven't tested them yet.

    Gunshot Detection?

    Maybe ask your congressman to outlaw paywalling research that was funded (say, over 50%) by Federal tax dollars?

    This is a picture of a picture taken just now ... 10pm at night. (FY: I believe that the bright light in the middle is our neighbor's pole mounted light.)

    Tower mount overview EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-TL OK for sky viewing?

    Is the IPC-Color4M-TL supposed to make the night sky look blue with occasional fluffy white clouds ... or do I need to change a setting, please? It is correctly seeing my weather station's anemometer spin and vehicles passing by, so it's not showing archived daytime images. Thanks!

    Tower mount overview EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-TL OK for sky viewing?

    I'm confused. The one you posted (PTZ3E405-AI) is $249. This remote ptz motor is $75. so, with my camera ($99) = $175. (total) - and you said the $99. IPC-Color4M-TL I bought has better color. Note: The plan is for 3 cameras on the tower, so a $50. difference adds up, and downgrading color to...

    Even though I just bought it - there's a newer firmware for it? Do I click the checkbox in REMOTE DEVICE, then choose Remote Maintenance in the left column, then click "Update"?
