    Good job. Glad it worked out for you! I'm too scared still to try again.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE Firmware version after reset

    Sorry to hear that. The one I bricked was my first camera and I was just learning the basics. Even after reading one of your excellent posts about upgrading and the chances of bricking the camera, I couldn't resist trying just so I could learn and see the new changes. I updated the firmware...

    IPC-T5442T-ZE Firmware version after reset

    I purchased an IPC-T5442T-ZE that was already initialized out of the box. Andy told me to do a reset. I did and the camera is working. This camera is replacing the camera I bricked with a firmware update!! Question # 1: When you do a factory reset with the button on the camera, does that set...

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    That is how the first scam cam came I think. At least there was a white wire tie loose in the bottom of the box. Not sure if it was heat-sealed or not. I don't think so. Thanks for the pics and confirmation.

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    Here we go again.... This is a 2 issue post. I received the replacement New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 today From Empire Tech that I ordered through Amazon. This one appeared packaged correctly with everything including 2 wrenches, the manual, and the waterproof connector. The previous scam camera was...

    Thank you, Andy. Sorry you have to deal with these issues. I already ordered a replacement on Amazon and I will return this one as defective.

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    Thanks @JDreaming for pointing out E892DD was a Lorex model. It does have two different colored LEDs.

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    Makes sense even with the ideal process that Andy implements there is too many ways a return fails to get through the process. I have an IPC-T5442T-ZE coming tomorrow from Andy. So I am hoping it is correct. But now I know what to look for. Thanks for everyone's input.

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    Good call @wittaj. Looks like you are correct. The cable label looks obviously modified. I don't think the two different color LEDs are correct either? Lorex is on the base. No UP stamped on the cam housing. I assume it should have. I guess I'm not installing it tonight! efing thieves....I...

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    Purchased on Amazon and order says Sold by: EmpireTech-Andy Box Has correct model information along with Empire tech printed on the box. Silver tag on bottom of the cam has IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 printed on it but I did notice the mounting base plate has Lorex formed into the side of it.

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech shows Initilized out of the Box

    New IPC-Color4K-T-2.8 From Empire Tech connected to Config Tool, shows Initilized right out of the Box. Shouldn't all new Cams require initialization so I can set up password etc? My previous cams from Andy required me to initialize them. Config tool also shows the Model as E892DD - Is that...

    Push Notification with Open VPN only alerts open Blue Iris App

    Ok, that makes sense. Good graphic to explain it. I have the cams on a VLAN that is blocked from all Internet access which is where I had the Bi Server located. I will have to change that so it has outgoing access and then I should be in good shape. Thanks again for your help. Very much...
