    Empiretech/Loryta 5442 firmwares

    That's older than what is on my cameras, so it may possibly brick it, no?

    Empiretech/Loryta 5442 firmwares

    Yea I looked at that post, both of my cameras are running firmwares newer than that. I'm not sure if it will let me downgrade them. I DO want them all on the same firmware. I don't feel like spending hours going through the UI and disabling all the inbuilt garbage on every camera. Yes, they are...

    Empiretech/Loryta 5442 firmwares

    I'm purchasing a mix of 2.8, 3.6, and 6mm Loryta cameras from empiretech.

    Cameras with metal housings.

    The main areas they are going to be are east/west facing. I got a 1179ew in today, it's pretty decent. I also bought a 3.6mm 5442 to test out. I'm thinking of just using the amcrest inside and putting all the 5442 outside, and then turning my reolinks into christmas ornaments.

    Cameras with metal housings.

    With the current layout that I'm planning, just the front of my house will have 6 cameras, so I definitely understand layering it. The problem is trying to reduce that number of cameras. Currently, I have a 25foot boat blocking all of my vehicles, so any cameras covering the front points of...

    Cameras with metal housings.

    I don't care if I identify people on the street. If they break into my neighbors house, then maybe they should have invested in a camera system. As long as my identify can cover all points of ingress to my house, then that's fine with me. The only exception are my vehicles/mailbox, but that can...

    Cameras with metal housings.

    I'm well aware of all the points you have made, I've read the entirety of the cliff notes and spent about 40 hours looking over this forum before posting, not very appreciative of the attitude. Maximum distance from my house to the street is 40 feet, less in most cases. Any points of ingress...

    Cameras with metal housings.

    Those are the ones I've been looking at. The issue is, due to the location, size, and shape of my house, I need full coverage on pretty much every side, which is going to run about 8-10 cameras at least. There's street access from two sides of my house, access through my neighbors yard on...

    Cameras with metal housings.

    After watching a bunch of videos and reading a bunch of reviews, I might just got with the 5442. It seems exceptional in low light. I just can't seem to find any reviews/comparisons to other manufacturers, like hikvision or amcrest.

    Cameras with metal housings.

    Hey all, I'm looking for some (relatively) cheap cameras, butt they MUST have metal housings. I live in the Southern US, and my house gets full sun all day. Any plastic that is outside is toast within 6 months. I'm currently looking at the IPC-T2431T-AS camera, but all the tech spec sheet...
