    feedback comparing the T54IR-ZE-S3 with B52IR-Z12E-S2 for patio backyard

    the extra lighting helps. i have noticed that here. some areas have lights along walkways which really help the cameras. if one has the benefit of light sources that are on at night, what settings in conf are the most common to tweak regarding the extra light for Z12E | Z4E?

    feedback comparing the T54IR-ZE-S3 with B52IR-Z12E-S2 for patio backyard

    i was gonna purchase a Z4 and test it against the Z12E's i have. configuration is certainly key, as with many tech things, and these cams come with a boat load of conf opts. tough reading some threads here it does seem the general wisdom is to conf to B&W. i've seen various shutter speed...

    feedback comparing the T54IR-ZE-S3 with B52IR-Z12E-S2 for patio backyard

    real world application appears to contradict the DORI numbers. i'll look over the links. but as you say i'll have more questions. esp with regards to 2.8 & 3.6. i just ordered a T54IR-AS-S3/2.8mm to try at my front door. and a couple of Z12E-S2 for longer range. i was, as i posted, maybe going...

    feedback comparing the T54IR-ZE-S3 with B52IR-Z12E-S2 for patio backyard

    well then, most definitely a positive recommendation if there ever was one. i looked at the specs on empiretech01 of the B54IR-Z4E & B52IR-Z12E. a few differences, including the numbers for the DORI. regarding DORI, i'm not versed at all, gotta read up on that more. though looking at the specs...

    currently using one color4k-t180 in middle of a covered patio and flanked by 2 IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 each side of the patio. i also have 2 B52IR-Z12E-S2 in a crossfire placement pov above garage/driveway. i do like their imaging better than the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 on the patio, but that could just be my...

    two cams facing opposite directions to cover driveway

    appreciate the overview FOV plan! one or two of these dual lens cam you linked will fill a void here, no doubt. the one critical review of IP67 rating from one user on that Amazon thread caught my attention but rain/moisture here is rarely an issue. getting one of these to test placement spots...

    two cams facing opposite directions to cover driveway

    understood regarding the Z12E and requiring two along with your tips. there is probably a few threads on ipcamtalk that would help ppl with the Z12E to fine tune them? regarding general overview for that area, would the T54IR-ZEB-S3 work well? i have a couple of those. if not, what would be...

    purchased a IPC-B52IR-Z12E S2 to put on one side of house, where the driveway runs along that side, facing east and want to get another one to position at other end of that side of house facing west. ppl always seem to park when delivering or pulling up where you can't see the occupant...

    DVR with PoE or separate PoE/PoE+ switch

    i see. i've had a dvr/nvr with the analog cams. it is ok but as far as flexability, forget it. updates, forget that too. it is stuck in ancient history. so l like the idea of a VMS <=1k. though i'll have to research the forums for some example builds and costs. and compare that to a good...

    DVR with PoE or separate PoE/PoE+ switch

    doesn't your NVR have much of the same functionality of a basic VMS, for home use? theNVR will have an interface (an app or web access) for retrieving-viewing your recorded & live surveillance footage, yes?

    DVR with PoE or separate PoE/PoE+ switch

    another good perspective. leaning towards using both, get a NVR+PoE that allows an external PoE switch too. have some more comparing to do but after reading @ThomasCamFan's post i'm leaning that way. seems quite flexible but i'll see. thanks for your help.

    DVR with PoE or separate PoE/PoE+ switch

    the way this old house is constructed & where the current LAN equip is, it was too costly & difficult to get all the IP cat6 cables to that room. so some were pulled to another closet that has LAN connectivity. years ago the old analog coax cable was pulled into the LAN equip room when a new...
