EmpireTech 4MP 1/2.9" CMOS Starlight POE IR Turret IP Wired Camera WDR IP67,Support IVS,Motion Detection,Built-in Mic, Built-in IR LED,IPC-T24IR-AS-S2 2.8mm

Image quality is excellent, even at night. A web-based UI give you control over pretty much everything. Technical support is terrific. This is the second one I've purchased because the first one has been operating trouble-free for a couple of years.

Purchased 2 of these here on Amazon and 5 of them personally from EmpireTech-Andy. A good friend of mine started a restaurant up and came to me for the best security camera's to start with for great image quality and Andy pointed me to these camera's. This camera is no joke; its a serious budget camera. There is no excuse to buy anything cheaper than this. Now I can encourage others to install these on their properties as budget is typically the first excuse that comes on their minds; at least this would be a start. For four cameras and a BI License or budget NVR, you can set up a fairly decent system for less than $400, also to stress, these are Starlight cameras. Check out the pictures, crystal clear picture quality with built in mic for audio. Go with these if you need something to start out with but on a limited budget!

Bought three, been running with a Blue Iris setup for about three months. Cameras function exactly as they should. Quality is not perfect, but it is adequate. If you are trying to identify faces from more than maybe 10 feet, you will want to buy something with better specs. After having them for a few months, I would definitely buy again UNLESS I needed very high quality video. Unsurprisingly, higher quality = higher cost.

This camera worked flawlessly with my Dahua NVR, motion and perimeter protection all worked very well. The night vision is excellent and overall image quality is very nice. I had one small issue with the IR not coming on at first but the seller responded promptly and resolved it. Kudos for excellent after sale support! What I don’t like is the mounting on these cameras. It’s not necessarily that the base and outer housing is made of plastic, I can live with that, it’s that the small tab that locks the camera to the base is too flimsy. You can knock these cameras off the base by the slightest hit to the camera. I fixed the mounting on mine by inserting a small pvc wedge that keeps the tab down and locked in place. If your cameras are low enough for someone to reach, it could be a problem with someone not only disabling your camera but also walking away with it. I prefer the all metal bases but at this price point I can live with the plastic by using the fix to hold the locking tab down. If they could fix the mounting of these cameras I'd rate it 5 stars.

I have 3 of these cameras and the overall image quality is very good during the day and acceptable at night. I would not expect great night vision from these as the sensor size is quite small (1/2.9), if you want great night vision at 4mp you need a larger sensor like 1/1.8. But those cameras are almost twice as much.

I bought this cam on Andy's advice. I could not be happier with the purchase. The picture color is vivid and crisp. The night video exceeds my expectations. You won't go wrong with this purchase. If you don't see what you need in Andy's store - don't hesitate to contact him. He goes out of his way to help.

EmpireTech cameras are well made and I use them for almost 4 years now with now problems. I like night vision picture quality.

This 4mp Dome camera replaces my old Amcrest 2mp Bullet. Camera has a built in mic which is nice, good night vision and a better daytime picture especially compared to the Amcrest. Good support from the seller overall a great camera for the price.
