I need some help with a search. :)

[ingeborgdot]

I am trying to find some info on changing cameras. I got some new cams from Andy today. They are very similar to my older ones, but have the higher mp. I'm going from IPC-HDN5231R-Z to IPC-T5442T-ZE IR. I want to keep the same overlays, name etc. if possible. I have searched but don't come up with anything. Would anyone give me what they would put in the search parameters so I can find some info? Thanks.

Well, you could do it the 'ol fashion way. Write specific camera parameters on paper and simply re-input into new camera parameters.
That's what I did.
Besides, I'm sure you do not want to simply copy ALL parameters (IVS lines, for example) as the FOV would be slightly different. Plus, more bells / whistles on the 5442.

Good point. See, that's what I have you around for. Not just your good looks, but that brain of yours Holbs. Sometimes, I don't use mine well enough. And lately, it's been off base badly. Thanks.

yep...IPCT dating site coming soon!
But really...anytime I upgrade a camera (I have done the 5231 -> 5442 4x's now)... I just start everything fresh. However, I do keep the old Static IP's of the 5231's reserved for those cameras as I re-use them elsewhere.

H.264 or H.265 I think I've seen most say stay with 264. I'll check it out.

 

[Holbs]

If your CPU has the capability of going H265, it's a win-win (some downsides but they are negligible). All my cam's are H265 (for sure the 5442's, unsure of the older 4231's or even the 5231's).

With 7 cams and soon to be 8, I am at 15%, running 25fps and 4096 bit rate.

 

[Holbs]

why did you select 25 FPS from the preferred FPS of 15?

 

[ingeborgdot]

I have an issue watching that slow of fps. It gives me a headache, and makes me sick to my stomach. My eyes or something just can't take it. I know what everyone else does, but this is a must for me.

 

[Holbs]

then 25 FPS it is.
H264 vs H265 only relates to video file storage size, not FPS. Hence, best if H265 is an option.

 

[ingeborgdot]

H.265 it is. Thanks.

What make and model is the go to for the 5442?

What make and model is the go to for the 5442?

Not sure what you are asking?

 

[ingeborgdot]

Sorry, looney. I was working with Holbs and I was just asking what make and model do I put in BI for the new camera. Do I use a Dahua Make and select a model, or should I use the generic ONVIF? IPC-T5442T-ZE IR

 

[wittaj]

Just put in the IP address and user and password in BI and hit find/inspect and let BI select the best one. Will probably be generic.

 

[ingeborgdot]

That's what I ended up doing. Thanks.
