    Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?

    Thanks again for the replies. I was planning on tilting the camera down today to see if that improves the IR but the wife decided it was time to reorganise the garage. So I will try that next weekend. I have increased the sensitivity on the tripwire rule, will see how that goes. One plus...

    Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?

    Hi Mark, just had a look at the lights are at the bottom of the camera. I had been thinking about packing the camera down 20mm or so. Will think more on it.

    Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?

    Wow that was a fast reply. I’m already zoomed fully in, will try your other suggestions tomorrow. The camera is mounted on a soffit (photo below), could that be causing ir problems?

    Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?

    Thanks for the replies. Here is the FOV (the red line is the tripwire) and screenshots of the rules I have setup plus a night shot. As you can see the night image is rubbish so maybe it is getting my camera setting right. I tried straight motion detection and SMD but both give a lot of false...

    Do tripwires work at night with IR illumination?

    My camera is a IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 and the tripwire seems to be hit and miss at night. The only light source is moon/star light. The IR on the camera is working and smart ir is disabled. Cheers Mike

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 not recording

    Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure those are set but I will check in a day or two. The reason I did a factory reset was that I had no end of problems getting IVS to work. Still not perfect but I will go back to that once recording is sorted.

    Amcrest or EmpireTech

    I agree about Andy’s customer service. I bought 2 cameras from him the other week and had some problems getting them working (first cameras I have bought). Andy replied to my questions promptly and problem sorted. When I buy more gear I will definitely be going Empiretech.
