    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    If the lens doesnt have an IR filter then the camera cant see IR light. So you could put 10 IR lights around the camera and they would be useless if the camera cant see the light.

    Lorex NVR to fit EmpireTech PTZ

    Reason i asked is because i wonder if this camera has an "IR filter" if it does not then an IR emitter wont help anything. I dont see anything in the specs that says it does, so it probably cant see IR light.

    Ahh.. yea if there is no lighting there is not much it can do. Have you ever tried panning towards your other cameras field of views to see if it picks up there IR light? I have a couple 1/2.8 starlights and they do exceptionally well even with there IR turned off, but i have a street light...

    Thanks for the reply! I knew it didnt have IR lighting but i would think it would do ok as long as there is some street lights/ ambient lighting helping it. Are your surroundings completely dark? Does it not see your other cameras IR lighting? Im guessing it doesnt have an IR filter if you say...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm turret fixed lens

    I will try a walking test and see how much blur there is. The coach lights are on in that video, they are just really weak lights that im going to change with something a little stronger. The cameras are at my sisters house that we have been remodeling so im usually gone by dark and just having...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm turret fixed lens

    Got a little improvement with the Gain boost.. It was set at 45 so i bumped it to 55. Shutter is still 0-16. Looks like lowering it using some conduit and a junction box might be what i have to do or just live with it. Going to try and get the city to put in a street light first.. There is a...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 2.8mm turret fixed lens

    Money was tight so was only able to get 2 cameras.. But at least i talked her out of buying the amcrest system. Im pretty sure that would have been a complete disappointment.

    Thanks for the reply! The camera is 9 feet up. It was the lowest i could get it and keep the cable in the attic. I may try adding a IR light to help.. I will bump the gain back up to 50, Thank you guys!

    I dont seem to be getting as bright a picture as you looney2ns.. This video is with 0-16ms shutter speed and 0-40 Gain. This neighborhood has no street lights so maybe that is why..? Camera is about 9 feet up and 60 feet to the street.
