    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    It works! I wasn't able to get any readings on the continuity test, there wasn't enough exposure at connection inside the camera so I bought a soldering iron and spliced the camera wires to a piece of CAT6 and keystoned that instead. Should have just done this in the first place before...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    I do have a second working camera (same model). On the working camera, can I open it and use a multimeter to safely test the internal wires with the pins on the connector, or would that require stripping them? I don't really want to touch the working camera if possible. Can a multimeter cause...

    I know the switch poe ports are working, so a passive poe injector like this should be sufficient to test, right? The pigtail for the power was cut too, so I'll need to rewire it to the R/B on what's left of the cable...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Yeah, I know I'm just frustrated at this point. :( In my defense, I only 'rushed' after the cable was destroyed to try to fix it. I was being careful to make sure the cables were all inside the junction box, and that's the part that bothers me. The cables were all INSIDE, so it's not like it...

    I'm hoping my keystones are just not working with these thin wires. I've tried 3 times now with 2 keystones and every time the PoE switch shows power activity, but no network activity and the camera never turns on. Is it possible for it to have damaged the camera if only some of the PoE wires...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Hasn't worked unfortunately. I had to break the plastic cover off to remove it, then there was a hard gel covering the connections. Getting part way into that pulled half of the wires out of the connector and I still can't even see which colors connect to which pins to confirm. However, the...

    Does anyone have the pinout / wiring diagram for this camera? It ended up being colder here today than I would have liked and unfortunately with freezing hands and my patience running low for what seemed like am impossible task of fitting the waterproof connector into the junction I ended up...

    Purchasing in Canada?

    Thank you. I will contact Andy directly to try that way. Does that also mean that these ebay models (and Andy's) are the 'real' ones, and not the cheaper ones alternative ones with limited/no firmware upgrades like some other variants of the 4431 that I read about here? IPC-HDW5241H-AS-PV...

    Purchasing in Canada?

    Hi everyone, I think I will be going the Blue Iris + refurb desktop route and maybe 2-4 cameras for my house. BI and the computer I can easily acquire, but I'm having some difficulty locating and understanding the cameras. Here's where I'd be placing the cameras. Camera 1 (definite): facing...

    Night Owl cameras without the NVR?

    Thanks Tony, Sorry, my first post ended up being more rant and less info than I intended, so I should clarify that I have already done the following: Removed the NVR Installed iSpy on a 2012 R2 app server (and ZoneMinder on a VM to test as I wanted to check it out as well) Connected a camera...

    Night Owl cameras without the NVR?

    So, I've got a broken Night Owl NVR-H5B-32 (stuck on Night Owl boot logo) and 16 cameras (CM-H54MPW-BU) at one of my offices. I want to keep using the cameras if possible, but Night Owl support, as you know, is completely useless and can't/won't give me any answers. Technical support tells me...
