    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    From the post I've seen, it's usually with the 2.7mm lens.

    SD22204UE-GN DH_SD-Eos-Civil_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.810.0000000.4.R.200509

    Looking at the spec sheet, it lists "N/A" for Auto Tracking, so looks like that model doesn't support that feature.

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    I'm wondering if the 8MP 1/1.8" sensor picks up less light from the bright bulb by the door so it isn't adjusting the rest of the image as much to compensate.

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    Using the LED model for the additional lighting would make sense in a situation like that, IMO. If you don't already run your porch light all night and you decide not to use the LED model for additional lighting, then it sounds like your porch area would be dark and night and a regular 5442...

    Bookmark the thread below about how to adjust settings to fix issues (if you haven't already): Common issues with camera image | IP Cam Talk Keep in mind that a lot of settings are location specific. I could give you a list of all of my settings, but if the area your camera is covering is...

    nvr or synology

    Forgot to add that Dahua NVRs do tend to support more of the less frequently used camera features where as VMS like Synology/BI probably won't. For example, many of the newer Dahua cameras with Face Detect have an option to pop-up a detected face on the NVR screen for a few seconds...

    nvr or synology

    Synology is a VMS and one nice thing about VMS is that they're a little more camera brand agnostic than NVRs are. If you buy a NVR from Company A then decide a few years down the road you want to buy a camera from Company B that has some new cool advanced AI motion-detection feature that...

    Review-Dahua IPC-HFW2831T-ZS 8MP WDR IR Bullet Network Camera

    Might be worth posting this question in the LPR sub-forum, if you haven't already ... might get the attention of more folks with LPR experience. I'll start with "I don't have any personal LPR experience" and I only occasionally read threads on it, but it seems like the cameras that get use...

    Don't Flame Me -- first cam recommendation

    @jchall80, looks like you're on the right path, but I did want to reemphasis what @samplenhold mentioned... often times to get video of motion where the details of the object moving are blurred the least, the cameras shutter speed has to be increased, which has the side effect of making the...

    Looking for guidance - hopefully I've come to the right place ...

    LPR is a subject onto itself, so definitely check out the LPR sub-forum if you haven't already. For LPR to work at night, there's some important settings changes that have to be done, after which the camera will only be able to see reflective things at night. Make sure your LPR cam is only for...

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    Good analysis, IMO. The IPC-HDW4300C you have uses the older, smaller 1/3" image sensor, so either of the 5442 models should be a huge step up in terms of low-light image quality. I think the IR model is more versatile and it's the model I'd go with in your situation. I personally would...

    Motion detection question: Dahua NVR and cameras

    I think he may have been looking at the original camera model mentioned in earlier replies. That model is definitely EOL. The sensor inside of the camera makes a big difference in how well the camera performs in low light. The N43AJ52 he's recommending has a relatively small sensor -- 4MP...

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    Modify the Night Profile so that the lights are set to "ON" (not auto). Schedule the night profile for 7PM - 11PM. Modify the Day profile so that the lights are set to "OFF" (not auto). Schedule that profile to run 11PM - 7PM. Oh hmmmmm... I'm not sure if you can have the Day profile start...

    Review IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED (Full Color, Starlight+)

    If you're using the schedule posted, make sure the Night profile itself has the lights set to "On". The hours of the schedule you posted look like the Night profile starts before 8:00 PM but switches to the Day profile at midnight (0:00). If you have an always-on Windows PC running that can...

    Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE 4MP Varifocal Turret - Night Perfomance testing

    AFAIK, OEM resellers like Andy can't resell using Dahua's exact model numbers. For his model numbers, Andy typically swaps out the HD* part in Dahua's model numbers with a B for bullet, a T for turret or a D for dome.

    Installed a ColorVu turret

    In the thread below, first see post #10 then scroll up and view the 2nd video in post #7. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/new-colorvu-cameras.41381/ In this thread, you can look at folks talking about adjusting the shutter speed to reduce motion blur on the ColorVu...

    Installed a ColorVu turret

    That’s dependent on how much ambient light there is at your location. IMO, getting good night images is a lot easier than getting good night recordings of motion with minimal motion blur.

    Installed a ColorVu turret

    I wouldn't bet on any Dahua/Hik camera being auto-adjusting enough that you'll never have to go into settings and tweak the image settings. If you haven't seen this thread on tuning, it's worth a quick browse-through and bookmark for later: Common issues with camera image | IP Cam Talk I get...

    Motion detection question: Dahua NVR and cameras

    You don't want to use "motion detection", IMO. It's old technology that most folks find hard to tune to reduce constant false alerts without it becoming so detuned that it starts missing legitimate motion. Your Dahua cameras should come with a better form of motion detection called "IVS"...

    Common issues with camera image

    Wonder if h.264 vs h.265 plays into this? I run my two 5442s on VBR with h.264 and have never seen them go fuzzy like your example. The scenes they cover are a lot more mundane than yours, though. Also not sure if that plays into it.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU wall mounting

    I don't have a DS-2CD2347G1-LU but I haven't come across a turret from Dahua or Hikvision that has enough room behind it to fit the thick waterproof ethernet piece that comes off the back of the camera. If you want to mount it flush to a surface, you generally need to drill big hole (3/4"?) to...

    Help With Firmware Update?

    I don't think OEM resellers (like Andy) are allowed to sell the items using Dahua's exact model numbers, so the model numbers get modified. Often Andy simply replaces Dahua's three digit HXX code towards the front of the model number ( which designates if it's a bullet ,dome, turret) with the...

    Help With Firmware Update?

    Most firmware releases have a thread in Andy's sub-forum here where folks who upgrade will post back if they ran into anything unusual. Definitely read those threads before doing any upgrades, especially with the 5442 which seems to be getting quite a few "hey, test this" firmware upgrades...

    REVIEW: Budget 4MP Turret Comparison - IPC-T2431T-AS vs Chinese HDW4433C-A

    Fully Integrated Ubiquiti or Ubiquiti + Hikvision

    This is a big IMO ramble... For most folks here, getting the best night-time image quality is one of the bigger priorities. Just about any camera can be tuned to take great looking shots at night when nothing in the scene is moving, but it's usually pretty difficult to get a video at night of...

    2.8mm or 4mm at these positions?

    Isn't the aspect ratio a function of the image sensor's resolution, at least when running in full resolution? Some cameras will let you pick a lower resolution with a different aspect ratio but most folks don't seem to want to sacrifice pixels for any reason. The cameras in this thread look...

    Network Monitor vs Dahua ONVIF

    Although by default they have the same username and password to start with, the ONVIF admin account is actually a separate account from the admin account that you use to login to the camera. Might be worth logging into those two cameras, go to the ONVIF area, make sure the username you’re...

    Dahua T5442 Varifocal help

    In BI if you give it an admin username/password and then click the Find/Inspect button BI should find everything, including the varifocal piece and microphone. You can then use the PTZ GUI in BI to zoom/focus the camera. Personally I ended up disabling this (in BI) after I got everything set...
