    New PTZ( EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X ) - Wont Track or Detect anything at night. Help dialing in settings please?

    I like the camera but I do not have it installed at this very moment. Like you I’m very new to this security camera thing. I had the PTZ mounted on a test rig for a week. Worked fine for that week after the reboot. IIRC I lost tracking of a human when I made the ivs rules. The reboot fixed that...

    New PTZ( EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X ) - Wont Track or Detect anything at night. Help dialing in settings please?

    Does the ptz still draw a box around a person? I had a problem when I was setting up the same ptz. My ptz just stopped drawing the box or recognizing a human. Don’t know why. I power cycled the camera and all was good again. Try a power cycle/reboot. Can’t hurt.

    Stolen jewelry = ride to jail and grand theft charge

    It’s the same here at the police level. Small town, decent police department, police chief who actually gives a shit. The problems start at the governor, with his appointed district attorney, that trickles down to the prosecutors. They just plain aren’t allowed to prosecute. Shit they can’t...

    Stolen jewelry = ride to jail and grand theft charge

    well done! this is in florida so hopefully the bad guy will actually be punished. Here in Jersey the perp would have been released before the report was even written.

    Are there any PoE "powerable" warm white lights?

    Any street lights? I have a yellowish HPS streetlight across the street from my house. I run my 4kt 2.8 mm at my front door. Onboard lights at 7% to counter the backlight from the street. Works just fine at the distances the 2.8 needs. I am looking for another light solution as you are. Once...

    Are there any PoE "powerable" warm white lights?

    If I’m making something like this work, I would consider changing the light end of the wire connections to something waterproof. maybe those automotive weather pack connectors, the ones with the rubber accordion type seal. Really depends on the location, access, and size of the hole I want to...

    At the widest setting that current cam is 2.7mm — I don’t know what 320 is in relation to the mm setting but I would venture to say that if you are anywhere tighter than the widest setting go with 3.6mm. I have a 4kt at 2.8 mm much more than 10 feet away is hard to ID

    Burying ethernet cable outdoors

    Irrigation pipe and domestic water pipe are not the same. Irrigation poly pipe “black rolls” are much thinner walled pipe. If there are trees where the proposed conduit will be you would be much better served running PVC. The black poly irrigation pipe does not do well with tree roots. It will...

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    Not much sky at all - Mostly grass with large towering oak trees above, no leaves. Lots of tree branch shadows. I’ll start a thread soon, we’ll get it right or at least as right as it can be.

    Am I experiencing any issues? Maybe. Thing is I’m just learning. This is only my 2nd camera that is installed. Just found out on this thread that my buffer in BI was set way to low 6mb, brought it up to 40, as you suggested a few pages back. Hopefully that cures my sometimes 20 second lag. My...
