    EmpireTech - NVR16CH-16P-2AI 16

    Thank you, I saw that as well.. yet on more than one occasion, I have come across a "max decoding" capability , that I find confusing. For Example, I've seen...... 32 channel NVR with an 8 channel @1080 decoding capacity ???? What good is that? So this got me thinking about what exactly...

    Hello, Can someone with a bit more experience, please explain how this works? That a 16 channel NVR, is specd to able to decode 32 channels@1080. At what point, would 32 channels need to be decoded , on a 16 (max) channel unit? Thank you 16 Channels 1U 16PoE 2HDDs Network Video Recorder...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Thank you for going through the steps of trying it out on your system, and posting reset instructions. I also follow wittaj and bigredfish, always useful info in their posts. I believe you are correct, that my cams are due for a deep reset. In regards to the whacky tracking, it sometimes...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    They really do struggle at night. Do your cams have that OSD info bug? Around half of my Minis do alright at night, I even run them in color, mainly b/c I live in a well light area, corner house. I still find a lot of value in the small format. I wouldn’t hang a regular sized ptz on the...

    Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

    Hello, I own several SD4A425DB-HNY 4MP 25x (Mini PTZs) from EmpireTech. I find it to be a discreet, and quite capable camera, if only it were a bit brighter at night, otherwise, it is perhaps my fav PTZ. Ever since I updated the original factory FirmWare to the, 2023-07-04 build...

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-TPC124X-AI 1/2.7'' CMOS 4MP Thermal Network Mini Hybrid Eyeball Camera

    You are correct. My bad, I meant 50 degrees for the 3.5mm, (on the thermal FOV), seemed narrow to me. To which wittaj cited the 4:3.

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-TPC124X-AI 1/2.7'' CMOS 4MP Thermal Network Mini Hybrid Eyeball Camera

    Thank you wittaj, Apparently there are 3 lens versions of this cam. It seems the field of view and lens mm, behave somewhat different from a regular camera. On the thermal side thats fine, hence there are probably different mathematics needed here, But on the optical side, it also seems...

    Review - EmpireTech IPC-TPC124X-AI 1/2.7'' CMOS 4MP Thermal Network Mini Hybrid Eyeball Camera

    Hello, couple of questions. 1 - Is this the 2mm, or the 3mm version being reviewed here? 2 - Will the Thermal image (green image) produced by the camera, be displayed just like any other cam, on a 4x4 grid of any Dahua NVR? Thank in advance Luis
