Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm turret fixed lens

[Chokolinho]

They are for all intents and purposes the same camera, different form factor.
Though the ZHE has a better/bigger F stop but the Turret has stronger IR

Thank you very much. I have ordered the camera for testing.

Anyone know the mbps this camera uses.. Im wondering if a 10/100 switch with 4 of these cameras running will be plenty?

A Poe switch with 4x 100mbit should be sufficient.

I dont seem to be getting as bright a picture as you looney2ns.. This video is with 0-16ms shutter speed and 0-40 Gain. This neighborhood has no street lights so maybe that is why..? Camera is about 9 feet up and 60 feet to the street.

How high is the camera mounted?

^^^^
THIS

Looney's is pointed pointed OUT yours is pointed DOWN.
You're trying to do too much with one camera.

Also why drop Gain to 40? put it back to 50 and lower the camera

Thanks for the reply! The camera is 9 feet up. It was the lowest i could get it and keep the cable in the attic. I may try adding a IR light to help.. I will bump the gain back up to 50, Thank you guys!

Ultimately when you're done trying workarounds, you'll need to aim the camera out more and lose that little slice of the garage or accept that you need another camera to do the two jobs

Money was tight so was only able to get 2 cameras.. But at least i talked her out of buying the amcrest system. Im pretty sure that would have been a complete disappointment.
