    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    Mine replaced 2 cameras. I have a detached garage set back from my house in my back yard. So the wide angle covers the backyard facing the back of the house. The medium perfectly hits my where my cars are parked and the long hits the end of the drive.

    Review-EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-X3 1/2.8" CMOS 3 × 2 MP bullet cam

    I wish it was a 1/1.8 but love it as it works perfectly for my application. I was a little worried as my first 2mp camera I ever owned didn’t really impress me but things a keeper. Only thing weird so far is the ir reflections I’m getting from the cars in the driveway. I might have to...

    WTT WTT T-5442’s for a T-180

    Ah, ok. They’re purchased in 21’ and all turrets. Which gui do you prefer? Does this sound like a ok deal’ I realize the T180 is newer figure not everyone likes the wide view as much as I do.

    WTT WTT T-5442’s for a T-180

    Just gauging interest and can provide all the proofs if I get any bites. Check my short history I’ve sold on here before. I have a 5442 2.8, 5442 3.6 and a 5442 vari all Turrets. I’m looking to trade any 2 of them for a IPC-Color4K-T180

    Off-Road IR light bar

    I install lights for a living and if people were only getting the 3 years I’ve been getting from these they’d be looking for alternatives as well. I realize for the cost 3 years doesn’t seem bad but if you take into account I’ve had led screw in bulbs in my exterior fixtures running the same...

    CPAI works for a day then keeps shutting down - Log attached

    This is what mine looked like. I unchecked the Use AI on local PC and default detection box, restarted and that seemed to do the trick.

    Unifi AI Port- Works great!

    I have some 5442's laying around and am contemplating on getting a CK2 Plus running protect with the AI port and giving it a go. It would be a 3-4 camera max system at a camp that the family would have access to. I'm just weighing cost vs. ease of use compared to setting up a nvr system.

    CPAI works for a day then keeps shutting down - Log attached

    I ended up checking for windows updates and it said everything was up to date. I restarted and still it errored and closed. I then unistalled every add on except yolov5 & v5 6.2. But it now seems CPAI doesn't auto start with BI (see log below) but yolov5 will start and run if I start it...

    CPAI works for a day then keeps shutting down - Log attached

    I'm confused as to why CPAI was working then started shutting down almost instantly. I reinstalled it and it was working for a few days then I come home and it shut down again. not sure what this log is telling me and though maybe someone might be able to point me in the right direction...

    NVR/POE Recommendations(?) - How many / Where / What models? Mid-tier budget

    Would there be any reason not to go for the 8 port version? Thinking of doing a 4 cam (5442) max setup for in-laws.

    Off-Road IR light bar

    So these lights have built in photocells and the outlets I plug them into are smart controlled so they’ll be on 12/day max. The off-road light bar I linked has a nice aluminum finned housing for heat dissipation. Also its power requirements are Listed as 12v @ 1.3A and 24v @ 670ma which...

    Off-Road IR light bar

    So initially it was a unit would die from water intrusion and another would smoke a power supply so I’d just switch them. The one that died from water intrusion I opened up but it seemed to have a black almost silicone potting around the emitter so I figure there wasn’t much in the form of...

    Off-Road IR light bar

    It just sucks cause since I had 4 but am up to 5 IR units I feel like I’m always replacing 1 every year now. I’m not doing that with cameras (at least not due to failure) so it be nice if the illuminators lasted as long as them even at a higher cost.

    What do you set the shutter speed at? If I were to set a really low shutter and keep it pointed up would sunlight damage the sensor?

    Off-Road IR light bar

    So out of the 5 Tendelux BI8’s I’ve purchased in 20’-21’ none are left standing. I have 1 BI18 (22’) & 2 DI20B’s (23’) still in operation. I started looking for more of a long lasting solution even though I’m finding more and more places I’m able to use the full color cams. That’s when I...

    POE camera installation - how are you guys running wires?

    My 2 favorite situations when running wires in a house. 1. Unfinished basement. 2. Accessible (duck/crawl) attic. And into the open soffits I went. If you have siding you could pop that and run wires behind. But my house is all brick so unfortunately my cameras are not at the recommended height.
