    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Whats the full colour performance like at night? Do you have a 4kt to compare it to? The one thing I really like about these cameras is the depth of field. The 4Kt appears as if it lowers the bit rate away from the focal point. It looks to me almost as if it's like the trick now used by some...

    8-9ms inference speeds with OpenVino on a cpu 7th gen!!

    Suggest it to the Code Project Developers. At the very least they can take a look at how it's functioning.

    I like this PTZ.. HikVision - DS-2DF8C260I5XG-ELW 1/1.2" progressive scan CMOS @ 2mp.

    What are the gain and shutter set at to achieve that brightness? It looks to me as though gain maybe high and shutter quite slow as there's a bit of a blur to the picture on movement and the image has visible artefacts especially under movement (not saying they're bad but they're there).

    Dahua NA is no more

    Wonder if they'll be rebadged Dahua cameras built outside China or if this is simply a sale of goodwill / sales outlets with Luminys producing their own camera models. Also wonder how pricing will be afffected for the US. WIll this become a premium brand due to the extra costs of the rules?

    New BI User, call me Overwhelmed

    Unfortunately the guy who produces BI is a one man band. I agree it can be hard with so many settings especially if you've never set up any cameras before and have little or no networking experience. What it really wants is a manual with every UI page in BI exploded with numbered descriptions of...

    Can you only draw a single straight line? In Dahua you can draw zig zags (you have to do it continuously though) . For most in Dahua 1 to 2 rules is all thats needed because you can draw a lot of lines with zig zagging in 1 go.

    Are you using H265? That might be the source of the tearing. I've seen it happen with h265 before.

    Northern Lights

    Reportedly went as South as California in the great Chapman storm of 1859. I believe more storms are forecast to come this year. I got a few great photos from a location in the UK although some people with proper cameras in the newspapers got some amazing pics:

    Man With Mask / RFID Cloning?

    It's hard to tell. I understand it's a dedicated scanning device. I wasn't aware it cna be done on a mobile phone, although I'm not saying it can't. I do think masks should be banned in public though unless under a pandemic direction. If nothing else, anyone untoward would get picked up simply...

    How many vehicles just don't have plates?

    The US needs to update how it levies Tax. 1/2 the issue seems of missing plates to be because your plates are an indicator of whether you paid road tax or not and so changed / removed constantly. In the UK plates are for identification purposes only and never expire or are remove from the...

    How many vehicles just don't have plates?

    US PD letting you down. Over here, this is practically impossible (cloned plates another matter) but in the UK you wouldn't get far without getting pulled for no plate, partially because the PD are very vigillent and partially because there are hundreds of cameras covering the roads. Over here...

    Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?

    Yes. My electrician used some on my bathroom lighting. They're becoming pretty standard over here I think albeit slowly. I've bought some myself and whilst not used in anything, I have tried clamping and unclamping some wires in them and they seem pretty solid. Usually EU electrical standards...

    Image flickering when WDR is turned on

    Gain is now too high at 80. You should never exceed 50. You will get lots of noise and probably ghosting. If you're needing WDR + Gain at 80 to get an acceptable picture then your camera is in all probability a model that's on a small sensor and poor at night vision. If this is in B&W and not...

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    I have 2 in the car and 1 in the house (double glazing near impossible to break without). I had always intended to buy one but when I needed to spend more on Amazon without Prime for postage, I made the difference up to get free postage with these. I have 2 of the liife hammer type - 1in the...

    Wow! There are still good people among us!

    Pity no-one had a fire extinguisher in their car. Probably wouldn't have put the fire out, but might have helped reduce the intensity during the rescue.
