Some of his cameras may come with EmpireTech stamped on them as well.Īs long you you buy from the vendor EmpireTech or Loryta on Amazon (or AliExpress), they are Andy cams and Dahua or Hikvision OEM. If you get a unit that has Dahua on it, then the camera GUI will say Dahua otherwise it will simply say IP Camera but looks identical except without the logo. Some of my cameras I have bought from Andy from his Amazon and AliExpress store come as Dahua cams in Dahua boxes with Dahua logos, and some are not logo'd - I think it depends on how many cameras Andy buys if he gets them with the Dahua Logo or not. Andy just happened to purchase a large quantity before autotracking was removed, but those supplies are limited now.Īnd in case you are concerned about purchasing from him, Andy's cameras are Dahua and Hikvision OEM equipment sold under the names Loryta and Empiretech. And they changed the chipset so you can no longer flash one bought with the tracking firmware.
There are lots of threads here where people come here after the fact because they bought it somewhere else (and ironically paid more for it than buying from Andy LOL) and they do not have autotracking.

And it is $40 cheaper than the 49425.īut regardless of whether want the 49425 or the 49425, purchase from as no other vendor still has it with autotrack because Dahua eliminated it years ago from this series because it was undercutting their $800 series autotracking camera. I have the 2MP 49225 and the 4MP 49425 - they are both on the same size sensor and the 2MP results in better quality because it is on the proper MP/sensor ratio. I have several PTZs and they are fine in BI. When I next do some tests I'll find a public park or something and see if I can knock up something anonymous enough for the internet.BI simply takes what video is given to it, so if the camera autotracks, BI records it.
I don't currently have any comparison samples I could share because of the nature of the target areas.

I don't mind the Hik 2-line stuff, because when you are only paying a buck fifty for a camera you get a camera worth a buck fifty and you don't have enough skin in the game to be worth complaining about. I had serious ONVIF compatibility issues, firmware glitches and other issues that are just not good enough for a camera marketed at the $1000 price point. It was aimed at the Axis/Avigilon/Bosch market and marketed as such, but it's just not there. I just expected the Darkfighter to be as good as its price suggested it'd be. I've got cameras from a few manufacturers (Bosch, March Networks, GBO, Axis, Hik, Avigilon) here at the moment. I have some of the 8000 series teed up for loan in the first week of August to shoot out against some other new stuff from another manufacturer. It's a very good low light camera, but at half the resolution of the Darkfighter.

The only Bosch low light unit I have here at the moment is an original 720p Starlight. I don't sell anything to anyone, but I do test a lot of cameras. Even the latest Bosch 8000 12MP (which is not a low light camera by any means) performed almost as well as a Darkfighter in real low-light conditions and the 5MP Starlight ate it for breakfast. For what I paid for the Darkfighters, I could actually get some nice Bosch units for roughly the same price that perform roughly 4 times better in low light and challenging light conditions. These cameras were expensive and a complete waste of money. If you want a real low light camera, you'll have to go to a real manufacturer and pay real low light camera prices. no, on second thought the cameras don't actually have anything to recommend them.
The specs are a total fabrication and its idea of "software WDR" isn't worth the paper its written on. I've come to the conclusion that the Darkfighter light specs are rated at a shutter speed of 1S (in other words completely useless in the real world) and it's rated dynamic range of 120dB is more like 120dB PMPO (realistically somewhere in the order of 70-80dB). I also have several real low light cameras (from Bosch Starlight through to a neat special unit with a 1" imager and a couple of nice loan units I'm not allowed to talk about yet).
