Hello,
from hardware side EmpireTek and Dahua are the same to what I have learned.
But what about the software? Do EmpireTek IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 and Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE have the same functionality?
If possible, would there be any advantage or disadvantage to run an EmpireTek cam with the Dahua...
I love my EmpireTech camera, it has been great but I'm having this minor but extremly annoying issue where my IP camera cannot keep the correct time. I set the time via PC Sync and 5-10 minutes later the time has changed to 45 minutes to 4 hours+ random difference. It can't be a timezone offset...
Hi,
I have an IPC-Color4K-T camera, and I'm wondering if it's possible to configure the camera light to turn on only when motion or an object is detected, instead of staying on all the time.
Does anyone know if this can be adjusted in the settings?

Hello,
I am looking at building a 25 4k camera system for my office and need help specifying what hardware we need for our NVR Server.
We are planning on recording constantly using a low framerate 1080 sub-steam with motion-triggered full res. Additionally, we are looking at using CodeProject...
I was poking around the settings in the new IPC-T54IR-AS S3 I got from EmpireTech, and noticed an option for font packs. I see it supports uploading .bin and .ttf files, but when I attempt to upload .ttf files I get an error:
"Signature verification failed or authorized certificate illegal."...
I recently got an IPC-T54IR-AS S3 from EmpireTech and was attempting to configure it. However, I ran into some issue with the hostname. It was my hope to use mDNS/Bonjour to reference the camera, and so far I have seen 3 potential hostnames:
Network > TCP/IP > Host Name (default = "IPC")...
Hello all,
I am trying to figure out if the Lorex N864A64B NVR is made by Dahua and if the Dahua/Empiretech cameras are compatible with it. I cannot find info on this specific NVR but it does look like the Dahua cameras work with other Lorex fusion NVRs
Hi everyone, I would like to report a small problem on the generic empiretech firmware for nvr5232-el "V4.005.0000000.0.R.240514"
I'm not sure if it's still a beta version firmware but as I was advised in another post "NVR5232-EL crash during playback" I updated it
It works regularly but in the...
Hi Guys,
I have had 3 of the IPC-T5442TM-ASE purchased from Andy via Aliexpress randomly stop working. The first would have been after just over year old and another 2 have done the same a couple of years later at less than 3 years old.
They all just randomly stopped showing up and I have...

Hi, new member here
I'm pretty new to the world of CCTV and would like some with help picking out my first POE CCTV setup.
When I first started researching CCTV cameras (specifically 4/8mp Poe cams), I inevitably stumbled across Reolink. I spent the next few weeks watching comparison videos...
Hey all, I stumbled across this forum while trying to research the Lorex 8 camera nvr system I saw at Costco and quickly learned they are not known to be good. My wife and I are moving into our first house next week and I want to be able to monitor the house as I travel most weeks for work. From...
Hi all
Has anyone integrated Empire Tech cams to Control4? I have their NVR and IPC-Color4K-T 3.6mm cams. Not sure what drivers to use and if any tweaking to get HD picture? Also if anyone in the NY long island area knows a good installer?
Is the IPC-T5442T-ZE still the best camera for under $200 or should I consider a different one? I want to replace my HikVision DS-2CD3132 with something better. Actually, I might continue using the HiVison cams for overview and install other cams (that work much better in low light) to zoom into...
Warning
Remember, only update firmware if you feel it may fix an ongoing issue with your cam.
There is always the risk of bricking the camera. Update firmware at your own risk.
Best Practices
1-Reboot cam
2-Reset to factory defaults
3-Update firmware
4-Reset to factory defaults once again
5-Set...

Hi everyone
I am planning a system to monitor a barn where cows that are about to calve and happened across this forum.
My main conclusions so far are:
Don't buy some cheap no name camera (I heard good things about Dahua)
Don't buy a good name camera but with Chinese firmware
Eyeball type...
I've purchased 3 x Dahua IPC-HDW5831R-ZE (4K 2.7mm ~12mm motorized lens) so far from Empire Technology, who I've nothing but praise for - outstanding customer service! I took the lead from who best to use from other wiser folks (than me) who use this forum, thanks to all who mentioned Empire...
Hello Everyone
As a newcomer to IP cameras I've spent the last couple of months absorbing all the information on this site in the hope of making an informed decision about which cameras (have a search for cliff notes, they are very good!) and where to buy them.
I've a limited budget and to put...
