    Best Day/Night Settings? IPC-T5442T-ZE, IPC-T5842T-ZE, IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E

    Yeah, I used those as the baseline for my settings. still more work to do and testing but much better than default. Just cant quite seem to get the wife to walk around in the dark while its raining! I'll take a look at the thread you linked and go from there. As always, thanks for the info.

    Best Day/Night Settings? IPC-T5442T-ZE, IPC-T5842T-ZE, IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E

    I am sure this info is out there but my searches are failing me. I have all of the cameras set to day/night under profile management and all of them flicker back and forth between Day & IR each morning / evening many many times before settling. I also find that the HFW is switching to IR about...

    Eufy leaking your "private" images/faces & names... to the cloud.

    Interesting. It's good to hear this take on it as well. I think the issue I have is how they plaster all over that its local only and its not. Regardless of the legitimacy of the reasons why. My opinion is just that they need to tweak the marketing to be accurate.

    No worries. Doing something like this in real time where you have to edit the wheel after each draw is not easy. I appreciate the volunteers and especially Andy's time putting this together.... Despite not having my #'s drawn lol. Time to go buy cameras #6 & 7!

    He was correct, you can see it in the screen shots. Appears Andy agrees as he's redoing it.

    ah so odds don't change if all numbers are left on the wheel and duplicates just trigger a re-spin. That makes sense. Would be a pain I think for each person to update their wheel each time. Does mean by the end there will be lots of respins ;) lol.. Appreciate the work volunteers

    Unless he's putting the tickets back in, IE: someone can win more than once. The odds change as the drawing goes on. no?

    LTT did a quick story on it as well during their WAN show. The time stamp is for the summary but you can go back to 27:17 if you want to listen to their whole convo on it.

    IPC-T5842T-ZE Why is it so bad at night? I must be doing something wrong...

    Thanks for that info. I'll start playing with those settings. Not much I can do about the height, its about 15 ft up, It's the only mounting position with the desired direction and keeping the cam above arms reach as it's right above a retaining wall. It is verifocal but zooming in far enough to...

    IPC-T5842T-ZE Why is it so bad at night? I must be doing something wrong...

    Ok, finally back and have the 4mp mounted. It's intent is solely to watch the cars. As you can see I have some similar issues here. Multiple light sources and obviously that bush causing problems with the IR... So any solutions? Everything is set to auto which I'm sure is not the way to go...

    IPC-T5842T-ZE Why is it so bad at night? I must be doing something wrong...

    I was able to control its zoom connecting directly to the camera. Wonder why this one wont work through BI tho. Oh well, as you said its a set and forget anyway. Will probably be this weekend before I get a chance to test the camera more at its actual mounting position. Took a peak and...

    IPC-T5842T-ZE Why is it so bad at night? I must be doing something wrong...

    its about 3ft off the ground just to test out after I added all 3 cameras. I'll get those screen shots and report back soon as I can. Thanks again for the help. Attempting to zoom in BI. According to the box and sticker on the pigtail its the ZE version. Purchased from EmpireTech.

    IPC-T5842T-ZE Why is it so bad at night? I must be doing something wrong...

    IPC-T5842T-ZE I have both the 4MP and 8MP versions of this and both look just as bad. Thats a cat about 6 ft in front of it and you can barely see it. What am I doing wrong? Also a different problem but the 4MP wont zoom, everything far as I can tell is set exactly the same as the 8MP version...

    Can't Connect Camera

    Thank you for the quick reply. I'd seen that info on another post and it didn't work for me but tried it again. This time decided to make sure my IP updated checking the IP config. It didnt.. I was 1 screen to deep for it to accept the changes. Also thought that 200 was within the same range as...

    Can't Connect Camera

    First attempt at this so please forgive the ignorance. Pretty sure this is a I don't know what I don't know situation and when it comes to networking that's pretty much everything. Camera: IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E Switch: IPCamPower 16 Port POE Network Switch W/ 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports I have 2...

    So Reolink is bad? What's a suggested replacement for my selections then?

    Ok... So I've convinced myself to go the BlueIris route rather than an NVR. I have a 2nd PC powerful enough to run it and generally sits unused anyway. So what I'm thinking so far: Blue Iris of course. WD Purple Pro 10 TB Getting both of these to see which best fits our expectations but...

    So Reolink is bad? What's a suggested replacement for my selections then?

    Lots of good points. The 2 outdoor wifi cameras are going to a detached garage so no easy way to get a cat5 cable out there. It does however have power near where it's going so that's at least not a problem. I'll have to take another look at powerline adapters. Last I heard they weren't reliable...

    So Reolink is bad? What's a suggested replacement for my selections then?
