They are pretty overwhelming so far. I do like to learn as much as possible when venturing into a new thing, so I will read a lot on this forum. As for this camera, it’s a loaner so I haven’t invested much time in it. I have 5442s coming tomorrow. Hoping they out perform this Amcrest I borrowed.

That will create motion blur but take away some noise assuming the ISO on these change. Can’t change the aperture I don’t think.

Not much motion blur, definitely noisy though. Default settings.

I’ll try and post one soon, I don’t know security cameras but I do know actual cameras, so I get what you’re saying. Long shutter, more light, more motion blur etc.

I’m trying to post a video but it won’t allow it from my phone. I’ll have to hop on the computer.

Not sure, a friend let me try it and I did a factory reset before. So whatever is default.

This is the Amcrest 4K AI bullet at night with IR off. Just in case anyone wants to see (if you haven’t)

The other will probably be right on the porch, on the corner of the lower roof. I usually just run a cable out the window and have my brother hold it in places while I look at my laptop. similar to this, but about 5ft to the left and pointing towards the right.

Any recommendations for placement? This is the view from the 4K Amcrest I’m trying out, which is left side marked on the house. Planning on putting one 5442 there and another on the right side marker both looking towards the middle.

Alright, I canceled the 2431s and bought 5442s. You all know better than me lol. I’m surprised no one recommended 4k. My boss kept pushing me to get 4K. Good looking car also. Reminds me a bit on mine.

I’m open to any mp really. I’m also ok with IR over color night vision. The non locking ring isn’t a concern, neither will be within reach. is the image quality on the 5442 way better (not counting what you mentioned)? We had Wyze cams (yeah awful) until recent and they were plenty for what we...

Good to know. Thank you. I also read on one post that these Dahua’s are outdated. I am only looking for good image quality and tripwire, not really interested in the AI features. I live in a rural area but have a street light in front of my house that stopped many cheap cameras from going into...

Pretty new to security cameras, been reading a bit on here and can’t decide if I should get - Starlight - IPC-T2431T-AS Amcrest - IP5M-T1179EW and flash it with the Duhau firmware. I can’t seem to find a big difference between these 2 aside from $20?
