Dahua website says 5442 is EOL- any word on what they are replacing it with?
5442 end of life?

Click bait LOL.
It is only that specific model that has been replaced with IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE. The remaining 5442 series like the ZE and Z4E are still going strong.

That’s what I noticed as well, which made me less hopeful for continued improvement

It's a wierd move when import restrictions and questions over the independence of Chinese manufacturers mean they've going to have to battle harder than ever against the probable emergence of home grown Western brands. You'd have though being constantly ahead would have been the answer.
You all are reading too much into this thread LOL.
This particular camera model has been EOL since at least early-2021...
This was the non ePOE version and all that is available now are ePOE versions. That's it folks... The ePOE version allows for longer cable runs if needed - that is a good thing.
The 5442 series will stick around until the 4K on the 1/1.2" sensor adds infrared and varifocal capabilities...until then, this series is a workhorse.
Nothing to see here - carry on LOL.

I eagerly await the 4k on the 1/1.2 sensor!
Same here! How much longer do you guys think it’ll take until Dahua releases a 4K camera with 1/1.2” sensor and IR?
It’s weird all of the model numbers talked about here are from overseas even though half of the members seem to be from USA. Anyone know of a translator between dahua security.com and us.dahua security.com?
It is because we can get international models that are cheaper than going thru an authorized Dahua USA installer. And usually better cameras as most folks experience with the authorized Dahua USA installers are limited in the number of models and they seem to really push 5MP cameras, which we have shown are not on an ideal sensor size.
Strange, the only 5mp I’ve seen here and there at ADI are the hdcvi domes. Any idea of what the US 5442 equivalent is?
I don't know if there is one.
A look at the USA Dahua site shows mainly 4MP on the 1/3" sensor...like I said, most of the cameras from Dahua USA are junk compared to the international models.
Anybody with any experience here would not want a 4MP on a 1/3" sensor. That is barely good enough for 2MP. 4MP needs to be on the 1/1.8" sensor.

These are the ones I use for budget people.
Wouldn't that be the US version of the 5442 then? It has the 1/1.8" sensor and quick glance appears to be all the same features?
Not sure, ir distance is only 84’ vs 130’. Don’t know if it’s a typo or metric-imperial thing.
I just looked and Andy’s Amazon price is within a dollar of the one I posted.
Pretty cool for you guys.

I can't see why they'd make that jump. Considering the number of non CCTV cameras eg action cameras, phones etc using 1" sensors and thus lenses now, it would seem to make no sense to jump to anything less than 1". Surely it would be more expensive to develop for 1/1.2" than to simply buy components off the shelf for 1". If I had to guess a reason not to do this atm, it would be that the sensor prices are probably still too high to make a CCTV camera for around $200 with a 1". Most devices with 1" are currently much more than that.

Pulling my weight
Ditto all the other comments that have 4K on 1/1.2" sensor (or 1"!) with varifocal on their Christmas wish list! ;-)
