📷 EmpireTech 4MP Starlight IR Vari-Focal Turret IP Camera, with 2.7mm-12mm Lens, IP67 Weatherproof, Built-in Mic, Supports POE and ePOE, Vehicle and Human Detection - IPC-T5442T-ZE Black Review

I bought this camera to monitor the front of my house and it was able to cover enough to only need 1 although I thought I would need 2 have cameras. Surprised by the clarity and excellent detail day and night. Pay attention to the details of the photo I posted, it was taken about 30 feet away in overcast light. Easy to manage with the included software, set up notifications so I know when friends park in front of the entrance and stop by, and save records so I can catch my neighbors' dogs in…

I was looking for quality IP security cameras with Starlight capabilities. Some research led me to the EmpireTechAndy Store on Revain. When I saw they were offering the 5442 in black I needed it. I have black trim around my house and they blend in with the house so well. The sensors on these cameras provide full color night vision in any low-light environment with starlight capabilities. I will be buying 2 more of these and will do so asap. EmpireTechAndy also offers great support if something…

I switched to using Dahua (Loryta) cameras after my Lorex system died from an unfortunate lightning strike. These cameras are in a completely different game than the image quality and ease of setup of the Lorex IP cameras I've used. Night pictures are better in every way. I ordered one to try first when I wanted to order more and have since ordered nearly a dozen of these. Andy is also very helpful with firmware updates and all questions about settings and problems. I will definitely be…

I had a couple of Wyze cameras and was looking for something more functional that wasn't tied to a wireless network. After some research I found Empire Tech and bought an IPC-T5442T-ZE, a PoE IP camera. As you can see from the photo, the clarity at night is phenomenal! The scene is almost entirely lit by the cameras' IR, with just a little LED light from a security light placed far to the left of the house. Andy, the owner of Empire Tech, personally answered a few of my questions and the…

I'm so used to home security cameras with IR capabilities that I just assumed everyone had them. Well they don't. This camera is just a camera. The camera itself produces a great image, but the way it's mounted means you'll have to keep adjusting it until it's lined up exactly where you want it. I had mine where a small ladder would allow me to get there, but if it was higher or more difficult to access it would be quite a task to install. The direction he is facing is not very obvious when…
