    Added Substreams & Now PTZ Does Not Work

    What happens when you run Find/Inspect? Does it find the correct camera? You may need to change the setting in the PTZ drop down on the PTZ tab.

    5442 camera shutter speed location? i cant find it

    Did you change Mode to Manual? If it says Auto you will have no control over shutter/exposure.

    PTZ Motion Tracking Setup

    Tracking is caused by an IVS trigger being tripped. The IVS rules only exist while the camera is parked at a preset that has them. Here is a thread with a video and information on how my PTZ tracks after being called to a preset by the spotter...

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    That's my thought with the one I have in the car. It may not put the fire out, but it will hopefully give a fighting chance of survival.

    This overlay randomly applying itself

    I found even with it off that when I would take snapshots from the UI3 interface that it would apply it. I just delete it now when setting up a new camera.

    Looking for a setup to satisfy my wife's bird watching addiction

    Andy has refurb NVRs and cameras on his site quite often. They're good as new (most are actually still brand new) and carry the same? warranty. No reason to not save a few dollars. https://empiretech01.com/collections/refurbished-products-1

    Recommendation for suitable cams from Dahua oder Empiretech for our property (floor plan included)

    Camera cost is about the same, if not cheaper for the non-180 fixed/varifocal T54IR cams, but ultimately you end up with more cameras because each one has a specific job and a specific FOV. I started with a Lorex system. I bought and installed a Lorex analog MPX system. They were 2MP cameras...

    Do you want to know if SOMEONE is at your windows? Or do you want to know WHO is at your windows?

    New Member, long distance application

    I don't know what you have for a flag pole, but the top of the 20' flag pole in my front yard will easily move 3" in the wind and would be a horrible idea for mounting a camera. One camera cannot do it all. You cannot see everything and still see details. Getting good details does not allow...

    Cable testing equipment.

    How are you wanting to test? I use the Gardner Bender version of this on every cable I make and every run I punch down and terminate. All it does is show continuity, but that's enough for me. https://a.co/d/a6vRh0E

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    I can grab them later. I don't have any with snow + sun. For some of my other cams I do run them at .18-.2 or so on the low end to keep them from darkening too much when there is a lot of snow.

    Need Your Help to Decide between T54IR-ZE and Color4K-T and How to Install It

    For reference, these are the T54IR-ZE and Color4K-X. T54IR-ZE set to 12mm and I am at 40ft. 4K-X is 3.6mm and I am at 16ft and 22ft.

    Hello from Florida!!

    While that PTZ is a good form factor, it is not the best at night without enough ambient light or a ton of additional IR.

    System Upgrade Recommendations

    That's not really a kit, but more of a package. I would start with just one of the varifiocals included in the package to see what you need and then maybe it makes more sense to buy that instead of piece meal. Yes, the camera is basically a ball and socket and the housing/shroud rotates so you...

    Sync with profile 1

    Yea, profile specifics are per camera. You set up the switching on the Schedule tab, and then any other tab with a Profile drop down is where you set the specifics for that Profile for that certain camera. You select the Profile from the drop down and any changes made apply only to that...

    Sync with profile 1

    This is because you are syncing it with Profile 1. Which means whatever Profile 1 is set to is what you get. If you want Triggers for Profile 2,804 to be different than Profile 1, don't check that box, and set them as you desire.

    Sync with profile 1

    Select Profile 1 from the drop down that currently says Profile: 4 Home Front Doo... If you are happy with the Trigger settings in Profile 1 and don't want to copy them to another profile, check the Sync box. You can then set your schedule to switch to this profile and then make changes to the...

    Why do Amazon delivery drivers lie?

    I had done all I could to get them to "leave it in a safe space" at my previous employer. We would have the front door locked because we weren't a retail business, but our Shipping/Receiving door was literally 15' to the right. They would leave packages outside in the rain because the front door...

    Monitoring screen resolution: 1080 vs 4k

    I would use the UI3 Web Browser, keep him out of BI itself. If using sub-streams, it won't matter much as you will see the sub-stream resolution and not 4MP-8MP in the UI3 page.

    New member in need of direction.

    To further this point. One camera cannot do it all. You cannot see everything and still see details. Getting good details does not allow you to see everything; it is a give and take. This is why a good system will have cameras that complement each other. This is also why a PTZ is a complement...

    Changing Storage HardDrive *Upgrading Harddrive*

    I can't confirm that this is correct, but it follows the general logic of how it should work. If I were going to try this, these are the steps I would take. 1. Copy everything to D:/ (leaving C:/ intact) 2. Update the destinations in BI. 3. Rebuild/Repair database in BI. 4. Wait a few days to...

    What bullet camera and Turret camera has best detailed picture quality?

    Pretty much any other Dahua/Empiretech camera other than the 3849 would be better. @wittaj

    Why do Amazon delivery drivers lie?

    In my neighborhood we have several houses with the same house number but on different streets. It isn't uncommon to see a post on the neighborhood Facebook page from someone asking for their package or posting they have a package.

    Eclipse April 8th. 2024

    No good captures of the eclipse itself, but I did manage to get (what I thought) to be interesting footage of the shadow moving along the path from the various N E W S Skyview cameras.

    Why do Amazon delivery drivers lie?

    I asked one of our drivers why I needed to sign if it was handed to me, but not if left on the porch. He said it's because too many drivers were marking them as "Handed to a Resident" when they actually weren't, so it's a way for them to be accountable.

    Smaller cameras

    I received one of these in the last Empiretech lottery and am happy with it. Where the Z4E is basically the bullet version of the T54IR-ZE, this is more inline with a fixed bullet version of the T54IR-AS. @looney2ns did a review on them a little while back...
