      Even with the Annke/Hikvision using the same size sensor as the Empiretech they still pull it off with some magic some how. Love this camera and snagging another to put in my other "gold" location.

    Hahahaha, I damn near choked on my drink when you transitioned to that Tundra taking out the street sign. I love my Amcrests but that night shot you showed of the front yard is downright amazing. I may have to grab one of those EmpireTech cameras for the one blindspot I have on the side of my house. That picture quality is downright amazing. Hope you're well man, thanks for the great vid.

      I’ve tested Andy’s camera and the nc800 and the DS-2CD2087G2-L which is the same camera as the nc800, i favoured the Empire tech for night time viewing, it had good clarity’s and if tuned correctly it was able to read number plates really well

      I’ve been using “Empiretech” cameras that I bought directly through Andy before there was an EmpireTech. I’ve got about ten now with an 8TB NVR. I’ve got some Bullets, PTZ, Turret, and now an LPR. I think they are the best hands down. Andy is always there to answer questions/emails even if I haven’t reached out for a year. The quality is great, as is the cost. Plus he updates the firmware as needed. My go-to.

    Hi, thanks for the great comparison.
    Have you seen this other technology for low light cameras, based on multispectral image (2 sensors), and how it compares to this ?
    One model is IPC-T5449H-ASE-D2-V2.
    They claim a 0.0002 lux minimal illumination vs 0.0005 lux for the Color4K-T.
    A youtube test video shows impressive low light performance (mostly bw but adds color when it can get some) but I'm not sure whether it requires the IR leds to be on or not for this.
    I would love see this compared to the Color4K-T.

    • @digiblurDIY
      @digiblurDIY  Год назад +1

      I haven't seen that. I would be curious to see how it performs as well if I can get one.

    Travis,
    Watched a few of you videos. Thanks for the info. Got 2 11:03 Amcrest 2669 great camera. Wanted 11:03 one with a light for color night vision. Got a 2779. Had to return it was getting quite hot even when not recording and no light on. Did I just get a bad one or do the color night vision with a led usually get much hotter than others ?

  • @51Bouteille
    @51Bouteille Год назад +1

    Hi again :) Do you know whether this Color4K model benefits from an eventual external IR light or not (filter). Not for color vision obviously but for getting some B&W sensitivity on dark scenes.
    This cam seems perfect when you have some permanent light in the field but I can't illuminate my garden with visible light all night... That's the reason why I keep it out of the shopping basket but I might reconsider if it makes use of IR.
    Thanks again for the great videos.

    • @digiblurDIY
      @digiblurDIY  Год назад +1

      I don't believe it does in B/W mode as I don't see the IR coming from other cameras around the house in B/W mode.

    • @51Bouteille
      @51Bouteille Год назад

      @@digiblurDIY Thanks ! Yes that makes sense, they probably put a fixed IR filter on the sensor.
      I'll be looking for something else then. Maybe the IPC-HDW5842TM-ASE (high sensitivity with a BW IR mode), but can't find anywhere yet.

  • @waynenocton
    @waynenocton Год назад +2

    Curious about those side by side night shots, weren’t all the cameras having the advantage of all the LED’s from the other cameras lighting up the area? I like to use separate IR floods, that way the damned spiders build their webs in front of them instead of in front of the cameras. That Empire is impressive, and your stop sign video returning for the pronunciation is a riot.

    • @digiblurDIY
      @digiblurDIY  Год назад +1

      yes, I'm not a fan of the LEDs on the cameras themselves that just didn't work well and have limited range due to the size so I didn't pursue it much. A standard motion or non-motion flood light combination with these cameras are the better way to go for full visibility.
      The spiders/bugs was another issue here too with the visible LEDs. Attracted them like crazy right towards the lenses.

    The ghosting can be completely removed if you know how to fine tune these camera, you should never use the default setting imo as you are not using the camera to its full potential.
