Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

Yeah, figured. But just to get a look at what it is in color is all I'm concerned about. Just for comparison sake.
I picked up a PFB203 junction box to try and come up with a solution for mounting it to the fence that wasn't the PFA124. I wanted to have better use of the rotation in the arm to get it pointed where I wanted it. I have made some revisions to the spacer and sent the file over to my neighbor. Hopefully he is able to print another in the morning. It's PLA for now, but will be ABS or PETG one I get it finalized.
The new revision includes locator holes that align with the tapped holes already in the junction box. If anyone else requires one of these, they can more easily use the spacer as a template for marking the holes that need to be drilled and tapped for the 4 bolt, bolt pattern on this camera.

Don't know why Dahua did not may the Camera Arm a bit Longer so we would not have to do this...
Yea, beats me too.
I haven't heard back from my neighbor, but hopefully he is able to make a print today.
I was already working on a rev3 when I sent over rev2 to be printed because I knew there were oversights. I don't plan to proto-type rev3, but will just send it off to another friend, as the final version, to be printed in PETG. Rev3 will have a straight wall with a small fillet at the inside corner instead of the chamfered face. This should allow the camera to tilt all the way, and the remaining "foot" on the spacer will cover the threaded holes in the junction box that fell outside of it's diameter.
Rev2 has holes that locate on the existing PFB203 holes. I tested for fitment and to make sure the two holes that are close to the slot and another hole were drill and tappable, but this alignment didn't work for me and I had to go back to the original holes I had made. Being able to affix the spacer to the box was nice though, while it lasted.
The screws allow the spacer to be attached for marking the holes to be drilled and tapped, and then stay attached when mounting the camera.
You can see the two holes on the right that were of concern. The one at the top, near another tapped hole, and the one at the bottom near the slot.
It didn't gain me all the tilt I needed, but it did give me some more room to adjust upward.

Anyone know if similar trigger rules for this camera will also work with the EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR?

Known around here
I would think IVS rules would work the same on the NVR as any other camera. It will occupy 3 channels. Each would activate, just the drawing/defining takes place on the near channel for all 3
