Best Budget Cameras for Frigate? Not Without This Test

Honest review of EmpireTech (Dahua OEM) cameras for Frigate NVR — the IPC-T24IR-AS and IPC-T54IR-AS. I've been running both on my Frigate setup with GPU-accelerated AI detection, and in this video I break down build quality, setup, daytime and nighttime image quality, and Frigate compatibility. The big test: a side-by-side night vision comparison between EmpireTech and Hikvision. The sensor makes a bigger difference than the megapixel count - I'll show you exactly why, and help you pick the right camera for your setup.
