    Looking for help with LPR settings on EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    Hi bigredfish, I apologize as for the most part I think I would be called a noob when it comes to deeper into specific settings. I set everything to the way you had it, but it wouldn't let me set the Day & Night parameter. It was set to Auto was greyed out. I also don't have the profile...

    Looking for help with LPR settings on EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    I'm using the browser interface to make the changes. I don't have an NVR setup. I'm recording to a local drive on my NAS

    Looking for help with LPR settings on EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    I changed the shutter/exposure to 1/2000. It looks like I've been getting snapshots of vehicles. I'm guessing it's normal to get two pics of each vehicle. One seems further out giving vehicle color and the other is more honed in on the vehicle. I do have a couple problems that I noticed...

    Looking for help with LPR settings on EmpireTech IPC-B52IR-Z12E-S2

    I've looked online and searched, but I can't seem to find setting that mirror the options I have in the camera settings. I've set up the EmpireTech Z12E and the firmware is up to date. Seems like what everyone shows to change, I don't see in my various settings so I don't know if it's related...

    Camera specs or camera for License plate reading

    wittaj, thanks so much for the info! I'm not looking to have it automatically log the plates. I'd just like a camera that if something happens, I can go back over the recording and see the license plate. More of a "when I need it" type thing. Would the 52IR-Z12E be a good option for that...

    Camera specs or camera for License plate reading

    I looked around the newbie and wiki stuff but didn't really find what I was looking for (or missed it). I'm setting up cameras around my house for some basic security and to watch around the house. I typically use Dahua or EmpireTech PoE for my outdoor cameras, but open to one that will do the...

    Camera questions

    I appreciate all the info. This is very helpful. I think I may try the 5542 and see how it works. I have some other areas I'll eventually cover with a cam, so if it doesn't work there, I can try a different spot. Thanks again!

    Camera questions

    Sorry, my bad on the thanks. I'm definitely not an expert on all things forum, which I'm sure is obvious. I've been looking around at Dahua and Hikvision cameras (mostly Dahua) and I'm getting a headache looking at the different models, even looking at just the turrets. I'm wondering if any...

    Camera questions

    I know this might get people yelling at me, but I'm finally starting to set up some PoE cameras around my house. I know recommended cameras are a personal choice, but I'm just trying to see what might be recommended for a home system that will be basically bullet cameras that I will record to a...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    Their Baby Monitor app I am using on iOS does have PTZ. I never had any issues with it until recently and just on this one camera, so I'm not sure. I did hear back from the contact at TinyCam and all he said was "We do not support the iOS app anymore. I haven't heard about such issues on...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    There is an app in the appstore called TinyCam from someone named Jianjian Huang, but it doesn't have many ratings and those are not good. I installed it and tried it, but it doesn't pick up any of my cameras with the search and if I use the ip address and port, it still doesn't find it. Might...

    Good iOS app to use with ONVIF cameras

    I apologize if this is not the best place for this, but I didn't see an area for apps unrelated to BI. I was using the Baby Monitor app for all my cameras and it was working great for some time. But for some reason, it just stopped working with one of my ONVIF cameras. I can access the camera...

    Advice for setting up a whole house system

    I know there's a lot out there on these various steps I'm looking for, but figured I'd see if I can get some suggestions/advice. Plus I have seen some good info on some of the stuff I want to do, but figured I'd confirm that is the way to go. I'm trying to set up a whole indoor/outdoor camera...
