    Smallest Auto-Tracking Camera

    Andy does have the newer PTZ3E405-AI that is made for active deterrence. I is considerably smaller that the SD49225XA and is not in the same ballpark but is cheaper. https://empiretech01.com/products/empiretech-ptz3e405-ai-1-2-8cmos-4mp-5x-tioc-ptz-camera?_pos=1&_psq=tioc&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    Auto tracking with PTZ1A225-HNR-GB

    I would assume it would track animals with your setup. My SD4A425 and SD49225's track deer, dogs, cows, and racoons pretty well. I have human and vehicles checked. Don't remember size settings right off hand. Night time with IR is not as good. Thanks to wittaj, setting up spotter cams was a...

    Would a boobie cam be the best in this situation?

    Maybe a fisheye camera. Here is a sample photo of inside of a 100 ft long barn, 40 ft from camera to the containers exit wall for reference.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE blurry image area

    Looks like an area where the lighting from the IR and the house light are not getting to it. Are you using H265 processing? If so then H264 may help.

    Frustrated with confusing model numbers

    The Amcrest IP2M-841 was my first po boy PTZ so I pushed it to the limit by mounting it outside as a deer cam. Here are photos of how I mounted it in an electrical box and fed ethernet to it and using a 5 volt adapter to power it. Also attached is a video from it mounted and another with the...

    Frustrated with confusing model numbers

    Those can be ran WiFi or ethernet and you can assign a fixed IP for both but will only feed one IP at a time. Mine are old and have to have a 5 volt barrel adapter to operate. The newer ones need 5 volt via a micro USB adapter. If you wire them to ethernet they still have to be fed 5 volts as...

    Frustrated with confusing model numbers

    Yep, those are the same camera. Here is a link from Andy about the name changes. I think all of his cameras have changed identity due to Dahua's requsest for competative reasons. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/empiretech-item-name-adding-important.70173/ You should get at least 1 varifocal like...

    Do I need to "Optimize" my SSD that contains the New folder.

    ^^^^ I agree. I have 32 cameras recording 24/7 on an old HP desktop, recording to WD purple drives and the only time that I can hear the drives is during the 2 AM database compact/repair. The pc is sitting on a metal cabinet and is about 5 ft from my head.

    Stop break ins via climbing wall

    Turn off update notifications for now. You may try adding some INTRUSION rules. I have one that I cannot get to play well with tripwires but the intrusions work well.

    IP5M-T1277EW-AI vs. IP5M-T1179EW

    I bought an Amcrest IP5M-T1277EB-AI and for $59. I do not regret it. Compared to the IP5M-T1179EW I cannot tell much difference but the full aluminum construction is very nice. I do not use the deterrents feature. The IR at night works very well but I was not impressed with trying to run in...
