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

People always underestimate the distance

For some reason, I dropped the 100 part from the distance, I don't know why. Chalk it up to CRS

From experience, what do you think the maximum useable distance is for Identification for a Z4E? I have 3 of them here and have a few locations (front and side) that are between 50 and 60 feet to the middle of the road (yes, I verified with Google on the distances) that I'd like supplement other cams to use for identification purposes. Should be ok, yes?

I am at 65-66' with where I am using mine and they are giving ID. I would think you could go a little further, even. If you're between 50-60', I think you're good.

I would post this in a new thread. You'll likely get more responses and advice if it's by itself.

Yes, additional cams for close up shots

Not an option. Location isn't high enough to locate the PTZ cam to and it would be pretty much at the front door if I could - that's a big no from the WAF unit

Cameras need to be inconspicurus, especially on the front of the domicile

 

[bigredfish]

I used to think that way .

Now I’m trying to rig mine to be highly visible and holding MP5’s
