Thanks a lot for your sharing! @105437 the pic looks like add an external IR light you posted years ago when you compare the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE with the IPC-T5442T-ZE!

Did a quick IR test tonight with 3 different IR illuminators | IP Cam Talk

Yes! Here's that view from the same location with the 54IR. I don't use the onboard IR for any of my new 54IRs, Tendelux illuminators instead.

So compare to the old T5442T-ZE, the new one can reach bit further than the old one

Yeah, but why CodeProject on the camera if all you care about is human or vehicle and are only using the IVS rules? It will just delay the alert as it then has to process the AI that the camera did? So, I'll be fine without CodeProject? I have no problem with that. You are the master so I will...

I'm using this 10-watt Tendelux IR illuminators. I spray paint them to blend in with where they are mounted, usually tree trunks. I probably use a dozen of these on my property.

Night Image and Exposure settings are default except for Manual Mode/Custom Shutter below.

How do you get power to them?

How do you get power to them?

Low voltage landscape lighting transformers front and back. From each transformer I buried the wiring to each location to power the IRs.

Is the system supplying 12 volts AC or DC to the Tendelux units?

DC

 

[Alaska Country]

For power on this end, use an old computer power supply rated at 12 VDC at 18 amps. Used buried RG-213 (RG-8) co-ax cable for the main power feed. This powers the 15 watt LED landscape white lights for camera night use and the occasional Tendelux. The landscape lights are rated for 12 VAC used but work well on DC in this application.

Just got two of these, changed out some older hikvision's (still runnign two hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I). My only issue which is really annoying me , though i reached out to empire tech to see if they had anything to say:

Issue: I use Scrypted to pull my cameras into homekit among other things with my home assistant server. These cameras are the only ones i have ever had an authentication issue. I can not use the ONVIF plugin with these Empitetech T54ir-ze-s3 unless I turn OFF ONVIF login verification on each cam under network settings. No other cams, my hikvision, and reolink doorbell etc have these issues. Not blaming the camera as all is well works fine and it links up just fine to my Hikvision NVR, just need to figure this out as I dont want authentication off and I wont stop using my scrypted setup . Figured id post this here in the event anyone else also uses these cameras and scrypted.

If your cameras are isolated from the internet, then turning it off is fine. Many of us use Blue Iris and we had to turn it off as well.

I am isolated so I’ve done that for now , but I still prefer having the login and password , it annoys me every other cam works fine with authentication but not these ,
I have BI on one of my wi does machines though I haven’t updated since 2021 I believe , is my latest license not sure I can even find that version . I’ll try them in BI, are you stating BI had problems as well ? It’s strange as they link up fine with my hikvison NVR with authentication

It is still using the password, it just is bypassing the "handshake".

It has something to do with the ONVIF version of the camera versus what the program one uses recognizes. Here is a sampling of the issues in BI with other cameras as well:

GetEvents error / "Events: subscription 8000ffff"

Hello Experts I started getting this error today on all 5 cameras...anyone know why?? Something to do with DST maybe? I did change the time in each cameras' setting but still getting the error. Onvif triggering is not working on 3 cameras. Thank you

"Events: Subscription" coming from Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LU

I have two Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LU cameras configured in my Blue Iris server. When I have the "Get ONVIF trigger events" option enabled on the cameras, I'm continuously getting an "Events: subscription" message logged and ONVIF events are NOT triggering a recording within Blue Iris. I have...

How is it still usong the password when it’s turned off. On my windows machine I used an ONVIF viewer and saw everything and controlled fine without putting in any password so it is indeed open at least on this camera when the verify toggle is off
