Sorry, this is reviving an old thread, just wanted to say superb information on here as always, chart above is also gold :D. I came here since one of my 49225's is playing up with auto iris. Wondering if the smart thing is simply get another one if I can. Initial thoughts were to go with a 5442...

I have been doing this for a while now, but, got caught out on the IVS rules! It didn't jump out at me in guides or other forum answers until @wittaj pointed it out. After setting up IVS rules, make sure to Find/Inspect the camera in Blue Iris again, otherwise it will never work, at least not...

No doubt, moth to a flame with stuff like this. Challenge yourself to fix the problem that you know is about to be created :lmao:

Then I woke up and configured them direct through the NVR (browser) and re-entered authentication, all good. Playback and liveview, working fine. Seemed like a good idea to upgrade 2.5 hours ago! Unless you want to waste some of your life, do not upgrade things that are working fine, I know...

OK, how the heck do you edit the default group :wow: I've just broken live view to them, playback works fine. It's late for me, maybe look tomorrow :wtf::lmao:

Mystery solved!!! it turns out I was using version 2.01.0, 32bit Chinese English. It installs, NVR detects and cameras line up underneath as expected for playback. I'm in IT for a day job yet my right finger cannot stop clicking to install things, even when my brain says STOP :rofl: Classic...

So strange, I must have been running a 2.xxxx version but can't find the download I originally used, got older ones!!!! nightmare. :(

No, simply for viewing NVR only, just as backup really. Blue Iris for daily use. Trying older version now, it picks up cameras no trouble, just trying to find the version I had as download! it must have been an early version 2.xxxx

The cameras and NVR itself all work fine, just that now the cameras don't associate with the NVR for playback, ie, they don't show up in the drop down list when in config for NVR, if that makes sense. Looks simply like a version issue to me, the old one I have setup many times before. Add the...

Interesting, previously camera registration page under NVR config would show all cameras, now only one shows. Adding devices connects the NVR and all cameras just fine. No POE on this NVR no, I use external POE from HP switch.

Sorry, being lazy here, just decided to try installing latest release SmartPSS, I know, I know!!! stupid idea with an old 16 channel NVR. Now, it picks up cameras and NVR, no previous recordings showing and when accessing NVR config, just one camera shows up!! is this expected and should I...

These 5442 series of camera really are quite incredible. Once you experience good low light performance, very hard to look at anything with a lesser sensor. :D

Damn, I missed that altogether! annoying, was assuming they were dual IR and white light, shame, that means no go I feel since current 5442's are in areas without any other light source. Thanks for pointing that out. Liked the look of the 'new' PTZ SD3E405DB-GNY-A-PV1 but they use smaller...

Interesting, thanks for that information, 180 coverage I like but no such thing as a free lunch potentially!

Sorry for the long title, currently running several of the original 5442 turrets and varifocal bullets. The 5849 180 degree units in 3.6mm appear to use a similar (same?) sensor. Other than potential for fish eye effect on stitched images, what are thoughts on these units from those who have...
