2022 EmpireTech Chirstmas Sales

Hi Andy,

I picked up the cameras this morning and to my horror I saw turret style cameras. I should have ordered Bullet !
I am just sick I made suck a stupid mistake!.

Really hoping I can exchange these for bullets ... I can get these out the door asap back to you. Just need an address to ship to.

Again, I am very very sorry for this Andy.

Which models did you buy and why wouldn't the turret work?
 
As a former bullet snob I'd say unless you have a special need for a bullet, at least think if the turret would work. What sold me was the less in-your-face form factor and built in microphone. If you need bullets I understand. 2 of my 15 camera setups wouldn't work well with turrets.

Guys I am so sorry, not sure how the heck I posted here and not via a private message to Andy.

@wittaj

I can think of a few reasons to keep these but I haven't been able to convince my neighbor whom I purchased them for.

The only logical reason I think he wants the bullets over the turret is because he has seen the picture from a refurb bullet I purchased from Andy.
I would love nothing more then not to bug Andy and hassle to ship these back.. etc

Again my apologies for posting here... Should listen to my wife more often and be wearing my glasses :)
 
I have both the turret and the bullet. Image is basically the same. The bullet offers a speaker and that would be the only reason I would go with the bullet over the turret.

I kind of figured that would be the case on the picture. I appreciate you confirming that for me.

I totally agree with you tigerwillow, was a bullet snob myself but am now way more partial to the turrets.
I find the turrets easier to position and less in your face.
Appreciate your thoughts!

For anyone still reading this thread, this is just another reason to seek Andy out for your camera purchases.

Who else would be so accommodating like this. "no problem", what an awesome guy!!
This was my own stupidity, and Andy rises up like a champ.
Thanks Andy and thank you for the contest, my endless questions and all my super cool cameras!

Was -40C here today and all my cameras from you worked like a champ.
The SD49425XB-HR PTZ really surprised me. Didn't miss a beat auto-tracking in this deep freeze !

Dome's tend to struggle when there are light sources aiming at them

if they could make the mini-ptz without the dome side of things it'd be perfect, something you could recess into the soffit for those that don't want a huge beehive off the side of their house
 
I have zero issues with my turret cams but I have a problem with my bullet cameras lenses turning yellow from the sun and moisture getting into the lenses of my bullets
