So it was you who bought all available stock after all... :D

Thank you once again for the invaluable info and help. I think everything is clarified now. Oh, that's very helpful. Literally, it's like night and day difference. The 5442 looks like it has its IRs on though. I also got the ''best' 5442 bullet one - got it from Andy. Yeah, it appears the...

May I also ask something? If supposedly one operates both the Colorvu and the 5442 side by side with their IRs switched off, which one is going to perform better in low light scenario? Is it going to be purely that one with the larger image sensor? Is the sensor the basic factor determining low...

I see. You've been thoroughly helpful. Thanks!

It is also difficult o identify a car's plate with the 5442 in the dark with IRs on and at a distance greater than 7-8m. I'm not using the zoom at all. It's zoomed out with the largest field of view possible. (2.8mm)

8-12m I got the HFW5442E-ZE but to be honest I don't use the motorized lens zoom function.

So guys is this a good option over the HFW5442E-ZE ? What would it be a good price? Looks like I can get one for £170.

Have you found anything after all? I'm also considering getting a similar-sized unit for the porch to intersect with the main outdoor camera I have installed. It will be a secondary cam so quality doesn't have to be the best but I'd want it PoE and as small/discrete as possible. Sound option is...

Thank you very much. I'll stay with standard H264.

May I also ask about H264H and H264B profiles. In what way are they any different than standard H264? Should I bother experimenting with them?

Great insight. That's all I needed to know. Many thanks!

Apologies for bringing up an old thread but wanted to ask if there's any update regarding BI and H265 support. One of my cameras supports H265 but when I switch to it from H264 I notice the recordings become choppy. My server is a : Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF i5-4590 and the recording is set ''...

Will do as you suggest. Thanks!

I have a similar problem. Although in my case the cable and connector still work, I noticed slight corrosion, debris, and a black substance on the copper pins. Will those sprays for potentiometers work for this purpose? I applied a bit of WD-40 but didn't make any difference. However, I've also...

I wish I owned the property but we're renting it. I would have probably made the wiring more permanent and tidier. Yes, IR floodlights look like a viable and efficient solution. It might even worth trying switching off camera IRs completely and rely solely on the floodlights for night vision.
