IPC-HDW5442T-ZE New cam from Dahua :)

[Zimberto]

Did you try hitting the "refresh" button after you adjusted?

Yes

What browser are you using?

Tried both Chrome and Edge.

Also, looking at the video now that it is dark outside the quality was very poor with IR enabled - picture was washed out. I seem to have cured this by setting "Defog" to "Auto" for the Night profile - it had been disabled by default. Maybe this was already reported?

 

[Wildcat_1]

All, I just tested the first FW aimed to resolve the IR washout at night on this cam (7/21 revision). Long story short, progress is being made and improvements are seen but further adjustments needed, reported findings back to @EMPIRETECANDY and Dahua. Link to my comparison video post of this FW HERE if interested

All, I just tested the first FW aimed to resolve the IR washout at night on this cam

I've had so many issues with the new NVR and cams that I forgot to mention that:
I had no IR washout effect at all with my 5442T-ZE. I do know that the effect introduced in wide field of view and when I was doing my night test I wasn't set on the maximum (the 2.7mm) but close enough.
My night view from 1-2 ft was good enough for shaving (I could clearly see that it's time to shave) and it was also more than enough for facial recognition.
Currently I'm doing my tests indoors on my desk and that test was done on complete darkness. Was way better than the new tests of the 7/21 release of Wildcat.
I'll test it tonight on the widest field of view where the problem could be seen but I can tell you all that with a wide field of view that is not 2.7mm, you get a perfect image - not way better but really perfect.

small correction:
when I'm talking about complete darkness, I didn't take into consideration the IR light from the other cams since I could not see it....
During the test, I've had three cams next to each other pointed 90 degrees from each other. For me it was total darkness but I guess now that the room was full of IR light....
Important point.

nm...

The new firmware is under testing and report the issues, i will keep watching on it, will be keep updating to make the camera working perfect.
The new stocks on amazon will be back at Early Aug i think.

Trying to setup my email settings with this camera and there seems to be a pre-existing 20 digit password saved in this cameras settings. When I click in the password box the "inbuilt" (hidden) password disappears and I can enter my password. As soon as I hit save, my password is replaced with the hidden 20 digit password. Getting me pretty frustrated. Anyone got any ideas/tips? (added) One last thing also guys, can this loryta brand camera be flashed with firmware from dahuas site for the "same" camera at all. Thinking maybe a complete new firmware may "blank out" or delete the inbuilt email password problem I'm having.



Cheers Guys

Hi all,
First of all, I got my cam from @EMPIRETECANDY in 5 days (to Canada). Talk about quick delivery.
I’ve got a small issue though… I noticed that in the last 4 days the cam and NVR would lose connection sporadically (1-2 times a day). After checking the IPC-HDW5442T-ZE logs, I noticed that the camera rebooted on those occasion.

I wouldn't assume there is "a pre-existing 20 digit password". Having 20 "dots" just makes it harder for people to guess the password since they can't see its length. If you ignore the password issue can you get the test email to work?

BTW for security reasons it is not recommended to give these cameras access the internet.

Thanks for your reply, no, unfortunately I cannot get the test email to send. Just a reasonably newbie naive question please: how else am I able to get forwarded notifications sent to my gdmss phone app, about ivs or motion detections? Or shouldn't I? For security issues?
Cheers

Yes, been reported and it's noted in the firmwares release notes.

Got my camera yesterday (5 days from China - wow!) and installed it today. It has R16 firmware and the first thing I noticed was that the video preview on the "Zoom and Focus" tab in the browser interface is not working, although the preview appears to work on other tabs. Needless to say this makes it a little awkward to set up the camera. @EMPIRETECANDY please add that to the FW fix list.

IF ONLY this had a larger sensor. Even smaller sensor than the one on 2831

It feels like 8MP cams are either too expensive or gimped by tiny sensors to keep costs down.

Guess we have to wait a few years before 8MP become cost effective and come with good sensors like 5442

Patience, grasshopper. lol From 2016-2019 the best affordable low-light sensor was the 2MP 1/2.8". It's only been a year since since the 4MP 1/1.8" became affordable, ... if the same timeline prevails, it'll be another year or two before that jumps.

mounting question
can i mount camera on vertical wall?
looks like i would need to rotate the turret 90° to make the image come out the correct orientation
does the turret rotate 90? Still safe from rain/snow/ice?

I don't know if you're supposed to, but I certainly did.
The ball (camera) is separate from the ring that clamps it down, so you can rotate it anyway you need. They're made incredibly well and versatile.
