    EmpireTech 2024 Spring Sales

    At one point there were 483 numbers, and then 478. Seems 5 numbers may have been excluded accidentally.

    483 > 478. I trust it will be sorted out.

    Is the 5442 series still the best?

    FWIW This image is a cropped screen shot from a 5442-Z4E-S3. Zoom is only at 300 (20-25%) The privacy fence is about 360' away. The wheel barrow is about 300' away. The fence is under a wooded area of spruce, pine, and oak. I have the lower branches trimmed. It's very dark back there . The only...

    IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3 and IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2 have different spectral sensitivities in B&W

    Z4 captures better (brighter) image of driver. Plate looks more readable with Z12.

    Day/Night settings on new 5442 cams

    Many thanks to you for the guidance on the settings @CCTVCam. My biggest challenge with this setup is the Day/Night transition as shown above and here. Here is the most recent day-to-night transition (with day exposure set to auto - not ignoring your advice, just maintaining for apples-apples)...

    Day/Night settings on new 5442 cams

    not trying to hijack, but here is the scene just before & after switching. The night/BW image is too blown out and there's plenty of light for a good color image long before the switch. This is using my settings above. On edit: another screenshot from full dark with some rain/fog streaks...

    Day/Night settings on new 5442 cams

    Good info. I too am just experimenting to see what gets close to what seems to work. I went with "0" for both day & night as the little help popup implies "0" would bias the system toward color which is the behavior I needed. What I don't know is if the image is B/W whether the camera is in...

    3x3 Composite Recording

    I'm actually glad I did it the way I did. While screen recording with ffmpeg, I was able to select a camera w/subject to be full screen and digital zoom in on the subject. Then prior to transitioning to another camera, I could zoom back out, go back to 3x3, see the transition, and then make the...

    3x3 Composite Recording

    Decided to try ffmpeg and it was pretty easy. I just had to find the correct offset to grab an entire 2nd monitor's area which is above and slightly to the left of my main display: ffmpeg -f gdigrab -framerate 15 -offset_x -792 -offset_y -1440 -video_size 2560x1440 -i desktop <output>.mp4 This...

    3x3 Composite Recording

    I have a 3x3 panel setup in Synology's Monitor Center. I would like to create a composite video of an event using the 3x3 layout, for example tracking something moving from one camera view to another. Although I can create little snippet videos of each camera individually, I cannot find an...

    Day/Night settings on new 5442 cams

    I've had to do the same ritual for day/night settings. I have the same camera but flashed V3.100.0000000.6.R, Build Date: 2023-08-02 You probably already know, but just in case, remember to hit "Apply" before leaving the settings page. I now do it habitually for every individual adjustment. On...

    Trouble Reaching EmpireTech01.com

    Yeah - VPN. It was flagging the site and others that I am not worried about for trackers. I white listed it and a few others - all but empiretech01.com are working normally. I can ping the IP. I'll try different VPN server or no VPN to test. Thanks!

    May be my VPN "helping out". It is catching several trackers from the site tho. Need to try tweaking things. White listing not helping yet tho.

    IPC-Color4k-X Frame Rate Changes Between Night & Day

    Good call, but I have one of these https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Ethernet-Injector-Distances-TPE-115GI/dp/B00BK4W8TQ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 for each camera and I do not run IR or LEDs. Is there an API I can call to get CPU load? Thinking/guessing maybe SSA-related functions may be taxed with...

    IPC-Color4k-X Frame Rate Changes Between Night & Day

    Thanks for the tip. Are your 4ks "T"s or "X"s? My 4k-Ts are stable at 15 fps 24/7 although at only 8960 Kbps. I set the 4k-X up as h.264 (15 fps, 8192 Kbps) and sometime after dark it went from 15 fps to 8 fps. :( I just set it to h.264h and it stays at 8 fps (actual) but the web UI knocked...

    IPC-Color4k-X Frame Rate Changes Between Night & Day

    While looking into settings related to bit rate in this thread IPC-Color4K-X Bitrate and Synology I noticed that the frame rate from my IPC-Color-4k-X was ~8 fps despite being set at 15 fps. Now a few days later, I've noticed a pattern in which the frame rate at night is 8 fps and then 15 during...

    IPC-Color4K-X Bitrate and Synology

    This made a big difference in stability. (Thanks! I hope all of this helps the OP) Applying all changes via SS UI, it is now very stable. (Showing web UI screen shot) The SS UI still clips the bit rate setting to 8192. Manually setting in web UI to 10240 produces the same instability noted...
