    IPC-HX4XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000000.11.R.191230

    I just upgraded to this firmware. My 5442 had old firmware from middle of 2019 before. Noticed changes: - It says Dahua not IP Camera - PMC is available now. Before it was only up to AAC. Upgraded fast and working great.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    TRUMP 2020! 4 MORE YEARS! But tbh I'm Canadian and I think both parties suck and nothing ever changes. That said I'd rather Trump win just to piss off SJW cucks and BLMers.

    Install ideas for a dome in soffit?

    So my experience with soffit under eaves, I just use my cordless drill and put the included screws in and it holds just fine. Got my 5442 hanging there perfectly secure with the included 4 screws. They tap into the soffit and stay snug. Not sure if it's vinyl or aluminum (I think vinyl) but it's...

    Gov’t BAN of Dahua, HiKvision Cams(!) What does this mean for US?

    Just means they aren't approved for government use probably. Doubt it will ever affect us. Most of us are smart enough to disable the P2P features and use a VPN.

    IPC-T5442TM-AS does not connect via p2p with smartphone

    Personally I never bothered with it just so I can easily access the cams web interface from my local network but for additional security yes it would be ideal to place them on a seperate VLAN/network.

    Could someone make a "PTZ for Noobs" tutorial?

    @sdkid 2431 is 1/3" btw not 1/2.7" (if only lol) Did you go 2.8 or 3.6? I went 3.6 on both 2431 and 5442 and have another 2431 3.6 on the way from Andy. Are you planning on adding 3rd and more cams ? I want to move the 5442 down and replace it with a 4K (or maybe a PTZ autotrack in future but...

    Need comments/critiques on my LPR proposal

    Oh man perfect location for LPR. What do you do about headlights totally washing out the plate ? I suppose mounting it high up will help and perhaps some kind of backlight like WDR option ?

    [tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

    Dumb question. Is it possible to make this work for Milestone. I don't want to switch to BI since I am very impressed with Milestone performance so far.

    Amcrest dash cam on sale for $22 on Amazon

    I wouldn't go for a super cheap dashcam tbh. I consider it a critical item and cheap ones might crap out, die to heat. Some don't use high quality capicators instead relying on tiny batteries that fail in the heat. Also to add, make sure you get a high endurance SD card for dashcam use (and...

    best night time dash cam performance

    Do look into Thinkware too. I have Q800 Pro Front Sony Exmor R CMOS 5.14M IMX 335 (2560 x 1440p) Rear Sony Exmor R CMOS 2.13M IMX291 (1920 x 1080p) It has the same IMX 335 front sensor. Thinkware costs more but imho it looks more sleek and the parking modes are simply the best. Thinkware...

    H265 bitrate issue with IPC-T5442TM-AS - lower than expected

    I have no idea what you are talking about now honestly. What does bitrates for dahuas and milestone have to do with Reolink systems ?

    IPC-T2431T-AS Firmware issue

    System VersionV2.800.0000000.16.R, Build Date: 2020-04-18 Hey Andy this is the 2nd cam I got from you (first 2431). I'm the one with a faulty cam that won't take PNG snapshot from web interface (I don't mind since everything else seems ok) Does it need firmware update ?

    H265 bitrate issue with IPC-T5442TM-AS - lower than expected

    What? No I am not using substreams since I have those disabled on cams.

    H265 bitrate issue with IPC-T5442TM-AS - lower than expected

    Works fine so far. If I have issues when I add more cams I can always adjust it. Storage is non issue. I don't want to keep stuff for more than few days and I have 2x 3TB already.

    H265 bitrate issue with IPC-T5442TM-AS - lower than expected

    Need ? No. Lets me catch more frames of birds flying by ? Yes. Impacts performance? Lol no Milestone is so freaking efficient my CPU is basically idle. So I mean there's literally no reason for me not to turn everything to 11 yet

    H265 bitrate issue with IPC-T5442TM-AS - lower than expected

    That's a lot of cams! Luckily I will only have 4 (up to max 8 in the future) so I can run everything at full resolution full framerate xD

    BI app needs to port forward?

    Port forward is required yes. Safer to open a port for VPN than a port for something else (unless your router can run the VPN server). I run OpenVPN on my Milestone box. Works great.

    MV Burglary Attempt

    Welcome to the forum. You could go my route: 5442 for critical area (like our cars) cheaper 2431's for our doors (which have porch lights) It would result in fantastic night color footage at a reasonable cost. I might share the break-in footage of my car too. Garbage black and white...

    H265 bitrate issue with IPC-T5442TM-AS - lower than expected

    I wanted to report my relevant findings here. My 5442 is spitting out a lower bitrate than my 2431 somehow. I think they do handle bitrates differently. Now I can set my 5442 all the way to 20Mbps while 2432 maxes out at around 6Mbps but during idle scenes somehow the 5442 is lowering it a...

    So worse than 5442 but better than 2431. Basically an in-between option for low light Performance ?

    About i-frames...

    We get it. You hate reolink lol I'm not bitching though man you gotta stop getting offended/defensive or whatever. His system performs very well for the price and not everyone has the technical know-how or the budget for a DIY solution. I installed it for him and we are both very impressed with...
