Do they make them in a turrent style ?
I'm happy with mine but things change so fast!.I still believe they are the best value based on price and compact size.
I am getting ready to add a fourth one.
They have been EOL for quite some time. Still available.I'm happy with mine but things change so fast!.
I'm using these they are listed as EOL.
I'm not interested in the color at night since my place has zero light and i like the turrent style seems to work best with bugs.
Do you know what replaced them?They have been EOL for quite some time. Still available.
The two cameras @sebastiantombs linked.Do you know what replaced them?
I agree with this in general, although some priorities could change the answer.I still believe they are the best value based on price and compact size.
The 4k-x blows the 5442s away for low light sensitivity. In low light, it does color better than the 5442 does B/W. Its image is usable in medium moonlight. But if you don't want to add any visible light, and it's totally dark, the 4k-x is useless because it doesn't work with IR lighting. It's also not available in a turret, and is on the big side for a bullet. It has a built in speaker, and I have it playing an angry dog mp3 when it's triggered. I do not use its white LEDs because they are useless where I use the camera. IR would be useless, too, because I'm watching a big area where what I want to see is generally a couple hundred feet away.There is an 8MP on a 1/1.2" sensor that basically equals the 5442
The 4k-x is to large for what i am looking for if it came in a turret style i would buy it just to see what the hype is all about.Opinions from somebody who has several 5542s and a color4k-x
For the 5442...

A 5442 with the sensitivity of the 4k-x would be the cat's meow. I assume such a thing exists if you have tax money to pay for it.
Once the 4K/X is available in turret and varifocal (if ever), it will easily be the new king of the cams.The 4k-x is to large for what i am looking for if it came in a turret style i would buy it just to see what the hype is all about.
Are the IR cameras going away? Seems like all the new ones are color at night with leds.
That's exactly what I did. I did not NEED a new camera, but now that I have it I'm glad I got it. Size isn't an issue in its location.The 4k-x is to large for what i am looking for if it came in a turret style i would buy it just to see what the hype is all about.
Many people are trending away from B&W at night. The reason is simple - research shows people recognise people in images much better when they are in colour.The 4k-x is to large for what i am looking for if it came in a turret style i would buy it just to see what the hype is all about.

The 4K-X is much better as far as that goes too. I have floods that I run at a very dim level as the default state. Then I have motion sensors that when tripped kick them up higher. You don't get that initial big adjustment like you do with cams running IR. Everything just gets brighter. It's great. lol2. Install some lighting on a sensor - there may be a slight adaption delay in the cameras as it adjusts to the light coming on, but this is minimal with the latest cameras.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've been able to figure out, the IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE is the replacement for the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS, if you're after the same kind of cameras.I'm happy with mine but things change so fast!.
