Thanks a lot for your sharing! @105437 the pic looks like add an external IR light you posted years ago when you compare the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE with the IPC-T5442T-ZE!

Did a quick IR test tonight with 3 different IR illuminators | IP Cam Talk

Yes! Here's that view from the same location with the 54IR. I don't use the onboard IR for any of my new 54IRs, Tendelux illuminators instead.

So compare to the old T5442T-ZE, the new one can reach bit further than the old one

Yeah, but why CodeProject on the camera if all you care about is human or vehicle and are only using the IVS rules? It will just delay the alert as it then has to process the AI that the camera did? So, I'll be fine without CodeProject? I have no problem with that. You are the master so I will...

I'm using this 10-watt Tendelux IR illuminators. I spray paint them to blend in with where they are mounted, usually tree trunks. I probably use a dozen of these on my property.

How do you get power to them?

How do you get power to them?

Low voltage landscape lighting transformers front and back. From each transformer I buried the wiring to each location to power the IRs.

Is the system supplying 12 volts AC or DC to the Tendelux units?

DC

For power on this end, use an old computer power supply rated at 12 VDC at 18 amps. Used buried RG-213 (RG-8) co-ax cable for the main power feed. This powers the 15 watt LED landscape white lights for camera night use and the occasional Tendelux. The landscape lights are rated for 12 VAC used but work well on DC in this application.
