So under Encoding strategy is yours set to Smart Codec? Mine is currently on "General" I am using CBR with a bitrate of 8192 and Iframe of 15 (Frame rate is also set to 15)

Well I ended up grabbing a 3.6mm as I already had a T2431T 3.6mm in the exact same position and knew what to expect. I managed to get the camera swapped this afternoon before it started to get really cold and I have been blown away. Daytime is fantastic and I very quickly dialed some night...

Perfect, Thank you. I’ll be ordering the varifocal shortly Appreciate the help guys

I can also get this next day on Amazon, it’s only $40 more than the fixed focal variant. Is there any discernible difference in image quality over the 3.6mm or is it just down to having variable focus?

Thank you for the quick reply, That is kinda what my gut was telling me

Hey guys, Is the T5442TM 3.6mm still a decent low light camera in 2023? I have a couple of T2431T’s but I’ve been looking to upgrade the main camera that watches the vehicles on our drive as there has been a spate of thefts unfortunately lately. My drive is fairly well lit with 100w warm led...

No way, That is actually quite funny lol Hopefully if it is not too friggin cold here in Toronto tomorrow I can move things around in the garage and test. Appreciate your help

Thanks for the reply, At least I have some where to start troubleshooting. To answer your question yes the Switch is powered from a receptacle that also powers my garage door opener. I also have a spare POE injector that I can try. I will experiment tomorrow, I can also try a completely...

I just had to go out the garage door and when I got back inside both the dauhua's FPS/Key had tanked again. After about 15 minutes they both recovered. How in the heck can a garage door opener cause interference to a POE camera? I am stumped now. The $40 Reolink on the same switch never had an...

OK it looks like my Gremlins are back, Today while I was at my BI PC I noticed the yellow exclamation symbols appear on both Dahua cameras, when I opened the status window to look at the cameras tab I saw that the FPS was dropping to around 5 on both cameras and also the key dropped to 0.70 on...

I thought I would update you all, Since I did the factory reset via the button, set the camera up and also rebooted my POE switch it has been behaving much like my existing Dahua camera I am pleased to say. The connection has been rock solid and the FPS/key has been stable. Now I need to learn...

It‘s a shame we have to go to these lengths to protect our properties, I hope you never have any issues. I have one above my front door, one on my garage and the newest is mounted at the side of my garage so I can see anyone that comes up the driveway and goes either to the front door or too...

I agree, I’ve been really pleased with my initial camera the 3.6mm variant. Hopefully the hard reset via the button on the camera does the trick. Do you use any manual shutter/gain settings at night on your camera?

Both camera's have exactly the same firmware installed (The latest version from Dahua) and in the info page everything is identical. I even tried flashing the original firmware I downloaded here but it was the same so I went back to the Dahua firmware. The only thing I did differently this time...

I just performed a full hard reset on the camera to see if it made a difference. Currently the cameras are on a VLAN (Running an Asus AC86 with DD-WRT) In total I have 3 X 4MP POE camera's on the same switch, 1 Amcrest 1080P WiFi indoor camera and a WyzeCam V3 mounted on my shed just catch our...
