I have not replaced firmware in any of ours and they seem to be doing well. Andy will usually post on the board here if he releases something new approved for their cameras if you bought it through him. Latest is not always best for IP cams unlike some other devices.
I wanted to update this thread so it wasn't left loose / hanging:
I managed to upgrade the firmware to the same .bin the other two used after the camera was moved to another location and connected with another cable. My belief is the cable may have become damaged during the pull - the guys who...
Cool, yeah I've used the recommended mounting HW from the reviews for several T5442TM-AS and the HFW1831Es, was a perfect fit. I guess the disconnect came from initially wanting to pendant mount a bullet cam (didn't realize how weird that was at first) and now just over-thinking the arm thing...
That's a good idea, actually. I work there with a partner and he knows a lot more about that stuff than I do, we drilled on another camera about 30 ft up.
These ones we want to put closer to sidewalk level so we can get people's faces. Just high enough some Andre the giant tweaker can't reach...
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about
What's up with "fluke" testing, anyway, is that really a thing? Can I trust cable mfgs when they say they did it, or is that horse shit?
It's only true when it's CCA, right?
I might be a little OCD, but I make sure all my cables are labelled on each end with a labeller AND sharpie before they go through the run, straighten them as much as possible and I'll color-code them if I have different colored jackets, too
Those testers sure look fancy but I like how mine is...
Hey,
Just got through running some wire with a friend, and wanted to mention this tester I got that I absolutely love:

It's my first one, so I didn't have anything to compare it to, until I tried my friend's today and man does it suck by...
Hey,
My friend just bought 5 of the new Color4K-X-LEDs from Andy and we were wanting to mount either one or two on a really hefty 35-ft steel pole he has for the sign for his drive-through restaurant
The 4K-X cameras look something like this:

Just switched from Milestone to BI and looking for a decent iOS app for my girlfriend
I've been using Tiny Cam Pro for Android, but I can't seem to find anything that works well for it for the iPhone
So far I've tried Hik-Connect since I've gotten Hikvision's ivms-4500 to connect to individual...
I've been buying the TM5442-AS 4MPs which are really nice, but I probably won't be buying anything but these 4K-Xs from now on.
These things are stupid dope. (no, that is not a redundant statement)
Fascinating stuff. But I'm wondering, should I get another 5442TM-AS, or experiment with something different? Something with 1/1.8 sensor or larger... Any recommendations?
That thing is nuts. I noticed the dahua site says it's 16MP now. IPC-HFW71242H-Z
Did you try any of the AI features? Is a Dahua NVR required for those, or is there some way to use them with a PC-based VMS?
