5442TM-AS Day Image Quality Issues

[looney2ns]

I just purchased this same camera from @EMPIRETECANDY Amazon store and am having the same daytime image quality issues as you reported. Did you ever settle on specific image settings? I'm not having focus issues, just image quality issues - looks way over saturated / over-exposed out of the box with the default settings. I've purchased a half dozen cams from Andy and have never had problems before.

Leaving a camera on auto/default settings is almost always not the best option.
All cameras/locations can stand with some fine tuning.

Can post some pics and setting for further checking? Or just send me email for further talking or warranty.

Will do. I seem to have mostly corrected the image to a more acceptable quality by changing the white balance to "Regional Custom". All other settings (Auto, Outdoor, etc) did not produce a very good result (too yellow).

I have just installed my 54442TM-AS and would like to get the groups opinion.
I have changed some settings to get a nice picture, but, to me, the left side if OOF. The right hand side looks nice and sharp!
Is it just me or my monitor?

I can post my settings if you like??

And just for comparison, this is from my other 5442TM-AS
This one (to me) looks alot sharper across the whole image!!


Cheers

Your new camera is defiantly OOF ( Out Of Focus ) left side and needs to returned to the seller for either a replacement or a full refund no questions asked.
This is a manufactures problem and seeing this a lot now with Dahua Camera's even on this forum same problems as other members have had and they need to get their quality control sorted as this is not acceptable.

It will be the lens not sitting flush on the Sony Sensor, more common in cheap Chinese camera's especially dashcams. You wouldn't expect this from a large company like Dahua and in my eyes they have been going on that slippery road for to long now and I have been looking at other well known Brands myself.
