    Is the IPC-T5842T-ZE just horrible at night and low-light or are my cameras faulty?

    Thank you for mentioning firmware because I think I figured it out! I had the wrong camera firmware installed (kinda). I installed the T5442TM-AS-2.8MM's firmware on both cameras by mistake. I say kinda because I think they technically can/use the same firmware just with different default...

    Okay, I'll give that a go and cross my fingers. At least I'm (hopefully) not going crazy.

    Is a hard reset using a button on the camera or just restoring to factory default in settings? I have done the latter twice already on both cameras.

    For comparison, this is a 2MP starlight with all my outdoor lights off. My outdoor lights were on for the 5842T's...

    My current night settings which are default and the image it produces in daylight at 5 PM... Just doesn't seem right.

    I replaced 2 HDW5231R-ZE's with the 2 T5852T-ZE's. I also have an HDW5831R-ZE and a T6442TM-AS-2.8MM. So I feel like I know what to expect somewhat. These new cameras looked beautiful in daylight, then when night cam and I looked at them the picture was basically black for B&W. I know these...

    WTS IPC-HDW5231R-ZE'S

    I'm considering a refresh of some of my cameras. I have 4 x IPC-HDW5231R-ZE's. One is NIB, I just never returned it to Andy after deciding on an 8MP in one location. The other 3 have been in use for just under 2 years now. Was thinking $125 each. I don't have new cameras, yet, so kind of...

    motion blur and unclear image in general

    You can change your cam to NTSC firmware. Andy provides both on his forum post. Super easy.

    Hazy Ring

    I ended up moving the camera over as suggested and the reflection is basically gone, looks way better :D . I can deal with the light on the right as it's not too bad. Thanks for all the help and ideas to get this fixed.

    IPC-HFW5231E-Z5 rebooting several time alone

    I just had a similar issue, turned out to be an IP conflict.

    Hazy Ring

    I think it's the placement :-\ . Swapped it out with a brand new camera and it was almost worse than before. Blocked some of the light from the below sconce and it almost all disappeared. I do somehow have a smudge on the inside of the glass, too. Not sure how that got there and if it's adding...

    Hazy Ring

    I can easily adjust it so I'll do that tomorrow evening. And I have a brand new camera that I can throw in there, too. So I'll hopefully eliminate 2 of the 3 possibilities tomorrow :D. Thanks again!

    Hazy Ring

    The thing is, I still see it with all porch lights off, BW image and IR on. I'll see about blocking out the lights, though. I'll also consider moving it because seeing how there's that area above with no light could still be beneficial even if it doesn't fix the issue.

    Hazy Ring

    See attached photos...FYI, the motion activated light is not on in my original post. It looks great during the day. I don't see the ring. Could be that foam ring like pozzello below mentioned... Hmmm, could be onto something. It does kind of look round like that foam ring. I'll have to...

    Not as noticeable, but yes, I can still vaguely see it. All outside lights off, night vision/IR on....

    Hazy Ring

    I have this hazy ring on my camera (HDW5231R-ZE). I've cleaned the lens on the outside. Is it a reflection from the house light? I didn't have it when I was testing the camera position with a 2x4 and bucket. Any ideas?
