I did all the settings on my "test bench" and it worked for 2 days, so I installed the cam. It quit recording 4 days later. Also, I don't get paid for testing garbage. Looking at your post count, do you get paid for that? Or are you the one selling Empiretech? Also, no test "bench" needed for...

Childish replies like that just confirm the bias that is being pushed here. I'll make sure to let folks know on my end to stay away from EmpireTec.

I was just wondering if this forum is sponsored by EmpireTec or something, so I looked around, and found that online shop selling... you guessed it... EmpireTec lol Now I know whats going on here. Yeah, both cams get returned and I'm done here.

That's why I wrote "who knows". Maybe Synology isn't adding new Dahua cam settings due to the political issues with China, they are Taiwan based after all. It doesn't even matter. The fact is, I have no support for that cam and I mentioned that my entire system is Synology based in my OP. Do you...

Max settings used to be 128. Maybe they forced it to max 20 because the hardware sucks. Instead of fixing the limitations, they just created a problem for the customer, assuming that most don't run 3 monitor stations plus a few app connections. The access to change settings pushed it over the...

I can access the cams through the Synology app on my phone, but that - afaik - only accesses the Synology NAS, connection is made through a Synology cloud, so no port forwarding here. I use that app maybe 3 times a week. If the max 10 connections triggers from those few app connections and 3...

And that's the model version I could find 2 weeks ago when I set everything up. It is not listed, so I picked the closest version: IPC-HDBW2231R-ZAS That was working until it stopped recording. What now..?

The connection issue is based on unknown and unchangeable timeout settings of that cam. Its a new(er) security feature that wasn't tested properly. Not being able to turn it off or change it to unlimited connections is yet another design failure. I could bring out my masters in computer science...

What is the exact DAHUA equivalent model for the EmpireTech IPC-B22IR-ZAS S3 ?

I didn't use the Synology surveillance station over night, hoping that any connections would fall off. Just tried to access the cam through the browser again. First attempt it claimed "Failed login" (whatever that means). Second time it came back to "The online user amount has reached the...

Bad news. I just found out that this EmpirTech cam stopped recording 10 days ago. This is REALLY bad, because if I ever need evidence of an incident, I need to be able to count on this hardware! I also need to be able to trust this cam and not stressing out that I have to check it every few...

I installed that EmpireTech IPC-B22IR-ZAS S3 cam. Took a while to find a compatible DAHUA model for the Synology Surveillance Station control interface (it is: IPC-HDBW2231R-ZAS). And the frame rate is finally a full 30 FPS at 1080. No more lagging. Both stream and recordings! :) I'll order...

Thank you. This will be a weekend project. I just order that EmpireTech IPC-B22IR-ZAS S3.

So all cams in their own vlan? What about the NAS that runs the Surveillance Station? Doesn't that have to be on the same vlan? And that NAS needs to have internet so that I can check the streams when I'm not home.

Little update on those 4 dome cams with IR leakages. I cleaned the glass and added some foam. The IR reflections are gone. :) Saves me 600 bucks right there. Thanks guys! For the one dead indoor cam I ordered a VIVOTEK FD9369-F2 because all the VIVOTEK cams I own, have lasted 10 years without...

I have this ghosting / reflection issue at night from day one with those 4 Hikvision cams, so I don't think that cleaning or replacing the foam will do much of a difference. I can try and clean / fix one tomorrow and report back...

EmpireTech is not listed as a supported brand for my Synology surveillance station software. but DAHUA is. I can't find the DAHUA equivalent model number to "IPC-T22IR-ZAS S3" in the list. Do you know what the DAHUA model number is...

That one is sold out everywhere. I searched for "IPC-T3241T-ZA" on empiretech01.com but its not listed at all. The only 2M cam I found here is this: https://empiretech01.com/products/empiretech-2mp-wdr-ir-eyeball-network-camera-ipc-t22ir-zs Is this the same quality?

As I mentioned in a prior post, I just tried my brand new gaming computer as a monitor station, it lags here too. And that things has the newest hardware out there. This lagging has been going on since I installed all this several years ago. I stopped bothering with it after fiddling with cam...

Thank you for taking the time, much appreciated. The traffic does not go through my router. All cams are connected via Ethernet CAT 7 cable, going to a big Cisco SWITCH. When I unplug the router the streams still go to the NAS, and I can stream from the NAS. Router is non-wifi, I have 2 access...

My priority is a smooth video over sharp stills. I want to be able to see every move as its happening, and not moments where an intruder does something that I can't see because the system froze for a second or starts lagging. My system is not in place in order to file a police report. Going by...

Some of my Vivotek and Hikvision cams are starting to fail after 10 years of constant use, most in a lot of Florida heat, and I need to replace them. Here my questions: 1.) I have 4 Hikvision dome cams outside that I want to replace with Vivotek turret cams due to IR leakage. Thinking about...

Well, here the conclusion: - The dark sides are on both sides once I turn the cam away from the wall. - Turning WDR on helped most from all backlight settings, below a new photo. - HIKVSION finally replied via email, but all they did was sending me back to their authorized dealer B&H, and...

WOW! I'm finally getting some really great advise after the mess from HIKVISION and B&H. Thank you so much guys! All your posts make perfectly sense. I'll be testing the backlight settings, also turn the cam away from the wall and look inside if anything is blocking the left-side IR LED. I'll...

I just looked through all config options and didn't find anything that would allow me to change anything to the left or right.

I can't, I need the windows in the field of view. Why is the left side so very dark. If that's normal for this cam, this is a clear design fail and a no-go for me.

Hey folks, I bought a Hikvision DS-2CD2123G0-I last week at B&H, installed it, and witnessed an issue with the IR range. The left side is very dark. I can see 3 red LEDs, all being on when standing straight in-front of the cam (left, middle, right). I uploaded a photo. Sent email to Hikvision...
