    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    I've tried a bunch of settings... jagged edges won't go away on the small screen of BI. Do these rules look okay? I added Cross on the Intrusion. For some reason, it's not tracking any vehicles coming into the driveway, although it follows them going out just fine.

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    Got it on 640... but no difference. I'll tinker with the settings more.

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    Okay... yeah... it hasn't done this with the other two cameras looking at this fence. Is this the substream we are viewing when looking at all cameras on the BI home page?

    Empiretech PTZ4K45X-AI settings

    I searched, and there is some mention of this camera, but I don't see many discussing the settings, and I'm curious if it would be any different from other PTZ cameras. I've more or less started out with the same settings that I have on the PTZ5A4K-25X... but results are not the same. The...

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    I don't see much difference in 12MP and 50MP... width is the same. 12MP in first pic with 50MP in second pic. There may be an issue with the sun blinding the camera in the winter months when it runs lower in the southern sky.

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    I'm not sure it would be the same on the weather camera as my phone. I had my phone camera set on 12MP, which is what they claim to be "Ultra-wide." However, it shows 24mm equivalent on the 50MP setting and 13mm equivalent on the 12MP setting, but that's with an f/2.2 aperture lens. Not sure how...

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    Here are the three options. First pic is the eastern to southeastern sky. Second pic is more southeastern. The third includes the hous and is the southern view. I probably have too much land view in second two pics.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    Yeah... where I need it, there is not other option for mounting it any higher. I'll play around with the settings some more. I need to walk around out there again to really test it.

    EmpireTech PTZ4K45X-AI

    Here is the 45x ... still need to work on the right image settings and tracking. Lots of settings on this one.

    This is the white spot I was referring to with the IR set to Manual and 50/50 near and far.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    The Barn and Carport are both the 25x model. The Pole Tracking Camers is the hi-dolla 45x, front cam is the 180° and mailbox is the 2MP used for LPR. The IR Manual at any combination of settings makes a white spot in the middle, so I set it back to Auto and this is where we are at right now with...

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    That's probably doable. I'd have to come down a 6x6 post at the end of the driveway in conduit, then carefully cross over two irrigation lines about 6-8" below the ground, but then I'm home free to the field. I could even put a 16ft post about 4ft in the ground and mount it up 12ft high. That's...

    PTZ Motion Tracking Setup

    In this case, there's not much to see, as she walks up under our carport and drops the package off. I just need a 2.8mm stationary camera under the carport to keep an eye on the vehicles and packages being dropped off.

    PTZ Motion Tracking Setup

    I suppose it won't let go of the vehicle to follow the individual. It starts tracking the vehicle first, so it stays with the vehicle.

    EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-X is an amazing weather cam

    Looks like he only has 2.8 and 6mm right now... no 3.6. This is my most open view from the house... east... southeast.

    Hmmm... I posted the updated images last night and then looked at the post. Now it's gone. It must have been a dream.

    What direction are you viewing? My only option is East due to trees in all the other directions, but I still don't get a whole lot of sky.

    Review: Dahua 8MP / 4K 25x Starlight IR PTZ - PTZ5A4K-25X / SD5A825GA-HNR

    When viewing live, I do notice quite a bit of noise... the faint snow of bad reception on the network channels back in the 60s.

    Still on the hunt for more cameras. I've got the 45X tracking from Andy and a 180° and another LP cam at our gate/driveway end (1250ft from the house). I have a PTZ watching the driveway at the house another watching our barn. I need 3 more cameras where you see the yellow circles below.I'm...

    Is this still the best camera from Andy for weather watching?

    PTZ Motion Tracking Setup

    In this case, the stationary camera is spotting too far away for the barn PTZ. It spots a vehicle coming down the driveway, and the barn PTZ will turn as far as it can toward the driveway (where that preset would be parked). However, because the vehicle takes to long to get to that particular...

    PTZ Motion Tracking Setup

    Speaking of tracking. Can I use another PTZ as a spotter? Could I use the driveway PTZ to make the barn PTZ turn around and start tracking. The driveway cam could track all the way to the barn, but not someone getting out and walking behind the house. The barn PTZ needs to pick that up, but it...
