EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T-S2 8MP 1/1.2" CMOS Full-color Fixed-focal Warm LED Turret Security Camera

Decent Camera, Buggy Firmware

Camera is pretty great from a sensor perspective. But way too many issues with the illuminator to provide a strong recommendation. The illuminator fails to turn on automatically as scheduled and support from Empiretech is lacking. Although they were responsive to my initial inquiry, I have not received a response to my follow up inquiry and it has been more than a week.

Awesome Camera and Fast Delivery

So I canceled my membership with Amazon because I never got 2 day delivery. I now buy directly from the companies. I bought a camera from Empire Tech and got it exactly when it said it would arrive. So I am thrilled in that aspect The camera itself is awesome! I bought some Amcrest cams years ago before I knew much about cameras. Comparing this Color 4k 8mp camera to Amcrest is no comparison. I bought it for the larger sensor. Its night capture is unreal. The flood light is not as bright as I expected, which is great for me! I don't want some search light giving me the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation treatment. Its a pretty soft light but absolutely blown away at how much it illuminates. I have 2 acres of land and my shed is roughly 180 feet away. It absolutely catches anything down there. I will be back for more cams in the future

Decent

For my use feeding an AI vision model with a video stream the camera has good resolution and decent dynamic range and noise. It has features I don't need and is somewhat on the expensive side for my needs
