Re: to JPmedia ...what camera at Revo2maxx
I began answering that question a crap ton when I first started getting good captures on my Empire cams back at the Condo. So put the model Number on the screen of each camera
then they dont have to type that question. and I dont have to type that answer

The Model is Dahua N45EFN2.. That I found from the data of the camera that it is in the line of Dahua IPC-HFW-5449TP-ASE-LED and the N45EFN2 is still found for sale at places like B&H photo video and other places.. But if you are looking to stay with your Empire Tech cameras they might have that same camera at a lower cost then B&H is offering it.. DahuaWiki
Thanks. I should have looked at the video more closely as it was all right there. Too much going on and getting older, I guess
Yep, and I should have looked at the videos more closely as the info was right in front of my face. Good thing it wasn't poisonous snake, I'd be dead right nowRe: to JPmedia ...what camera at Revo2maxx

Well that is what the thread is about lol. Almost offered to trade but don't want anymore 1/3in sensor cameras and I have plenty cameras. You get it and you don't like it in the place of your 8mp, you take it down and your out nothing. I mean you don't smoke cigars do you? Lol I mean back in day traded a new iPhone for value in cigars. Lol man that was long time ago and smoked them cigars within first month, don't smoke that many cigars like I did 19 years ago lol. Seeing you asked send what? Maybe should send a different color night dahua camera 4mp 2 leds but sensor is same as your current 8mp lol.
So for now Amcrest 1046ew-ai wins. It is 5442 in Amcrest badging. Amcrest logo, Color night camera 2 white leds or if you prefer I could send you one that has Dahua FW on it and would even be willing to swap it unto a dahua housing. Lol
I appreciate your generosity, but I already purchased one used for under $100.
Awsome good find. Hope it works out for you. I like them because I know they work for me. Can't wait to see if you like it and hear that it will work for you as well
Another question. In your experience, which seems to perform better for you, bullet or turret type cameras?
The bullet tends to have more lighting (4 IR or 4 white LEDs) compared to 2 for the turret.
Some say the bullet produces a slightly better image than the comparable turret, but many say they don't see a difference.
Unless the bullet is needed for a larger focal length, most will go with the smaller turret.

I prefer the turret as its 2 (usually) IR LED's for night time tend to attract less spiderweb building across them as compared to the large ring of IR LEDs that encircle the sensor of a bullet camera, at least the earlier generations. The turret's LEDs are generally not on either side of its sensor so are less apt to have a web crossing the sensor...not saying they are immune to web building but are less prone to issues from it.
Also, the overall appearance of a turret camera makes it less noticeable or obstrusive than a bullet camera, IMO, which I prefer.

When was the the last bullet camera you bought LOL.
In my experience only the cheapo's still offer the ring of LEDs.
None of my Dahua bullet's are a ring of LEDs.
Slow down, brother.... you missed where I stated "earlier generations."

I saw that, but where did someone suggest to him to buy an earlier generation LOL
I personally like bullet as my main cameras. However if you live in area with lots of baseball fans turret might be better option. In other words they can be knocked out of area of interest easier. Bullet easier to position with free range where turret for me best ceiling mounted or on sofit. Cam be on side but never feel like I can get it just where I want it. Plus ring issues with ball pads breaking down and bees like to nest in them.
I also like my cameras to be seen. Already seen multiple people turn around starting down my driveway after seeing the cameras. Even seen the walk of shame going into view of another camera, one of the guys pointing at the cameras as to debate if real or not.

He's a noob of less than 6 months...I have no idea what he has seen, read or has been told but apparently you do.
Never mind, @wittaj ...I've come to learn you never stub your toe. Go for it.

Lighten up dude, the emoji's and LOLs should be the first indication it is some light-hearted joking going on amongst friends....unlike another poster that gives no indications it is a joke.....
