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

Night Image and Exposure settings are default except for Manual Mode/Custom Shutter below.

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.

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.

Here's the night exposure setting I'm using for the new cameras.

I bought 10 new 54IRs from Andy to replace my 5442s. I couldn't be happier! Take a look at two different locations showing the night picture quality using identical exposure settings below. Cam 1 5442 Cam 1 54IR Cam 2 5442 Cam 2 54IR

Is it possible to FTP snapshots from IVS motion alerts? I can't seem to find that functionality in the new GUI. Thanks

With the new GUI, where do I find IVS rules?

@wittaj this work around worked for me. I didn’t realize I had to do it for both Day and Night profiles. Thanks!

Tried that and it didn't work. I set Customized Scene to 4 and Day/Night still shows 2.

@wittaj In Day/night switch mode, I can't change the sensitivity. Is that right?

Good! I just bought 10 from Andy.

In @wittaj first post. The minimum illumination specs are better, right? Minimum Illumination old Z4E: 0.002Lux/F1.5 ( Color,1/3s,30IRE) 0.020Lux/F1.5 ( Color,1/30s,30IRE) 0Lux/F1.5 (IR on) IR Distance Distance up to 200m (656ft) Minimum Illumination new Z4E-S3: 0.0007 lux @ F1.5 (Color, 30...

I'm really impressed with the IPC-T54IR-ZE camera. It definitely seems to be an upgrade compared to my 5442s with night image quality. I'm still trying to dial in my exposure settings. How do these look for Day and Night? Thanks!

Thanks @wittaj. Sounds like Customized Scene if you use a Day and Night profile and have a way to automate the profile change. Day/Night switch if you just let the camera decide when to change based on lighting. About right?
