Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

Is this camera better than 4K-T? My 4K-T has just died after 2 years and I am looking for a replacement.

Use case is night time with minimal outdoor light (as shown).

Hard to compare.
One is 4MP one is 8MP

Generally speaking IMHO no.
But both have advantages.

If your 4K-T is placed to take advantage of the rather narrow DOF (depth of field) where closer objects and further objects aren’t as sharp as those in the sweet zone (roughly 8-10ft to about 35ft for the 3.6mm) then the 4K-T would be my choice.

For that scene I’d stay with the 4K-T

Just a couple of notes on the 3449 Pro/4M-T

1- The Smart Illumination appears to work very similar to SMD in that it is activated by its own AI.
No IVS or SMD is needed to enable it.
This isn't intuitive and can make you think its being activated by IVS like it did me. It's NOT. - It does its own thing

2- If you can't get the push to talk (two way voice) to work on your iPhone - try going to settings on your iPhone and for the IDMSS app - allow it to access your microphone! (DUH)
