IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS latest new firmware General_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.800.15OG004.0.R.201203

It should be available on the link on the first page.
 
My opinion is if it does what you need it to out of the box, don't mess with it. If there's something you need that might be in the new firmware, try first to determine if the new firmware will fix it. I've got a few T5542TM-AS that I tried a bunch of firmware versions on and ended up using one that's really old now because it works the best for my needs, almost surely different from your needs.

My biggest issue atm are low light environments, ill try posting a pic in a few, maybe its just a configuration issue, but at night it looks like the IR doesnt do much

You can't leave the cam at auto, that will not provide you with the best picture, especially at night.
You need to set the Shutter to manual, and set it to 1/60. then adjust the gain until you get a useable picture.
You are also looking at the wall on the left, which it affects the exposure. Use corridor mode, in the camera, and rotate the camera 180 degrees.

Awesome Thanks, so I have a Profile that says Default, Day, Night, should I make those changes to the Night Profile? When you say adjust gain are you referring to: Exposure Comp? Also where is the corridor mode option?

No I'm referring to gain, exposure comp is something entirely different. You need to take time and look through all the settings and those menus and learn where they are and how they operate. And I misspoke physically rotate your camera 90°, not 180°.
Use the night profile for night and day for the day profile. Once you set the shutter to manual and (not shutter priority), you will see the gain box. Default for gain is 50 you can raise that up to usually 70 without causing too much noise. But don't raise it any higher than you actually need it.

I did that but the image got darker (is there a way to know which profile my camera is using?, like is it using day? night? default? ) I will rotate it tomorrow morning (not sure if that is a requirement for the image to improve)

Post your menu settings for Profile Management and for the Illuminator.

Caught My First Door Checker With My New 5442 Andy Cams

Got my 5421 z12e installed. Directly under my 5442 2.8.. did a bunch of snip & sketch on captured license plates to a USB thumb. Then I was going to be all fancy and put it on this thread and then I forgot the thumb drive at work.:banghead:

Hmm... i have a little problem. Some of my cameras does not switch from day to night profile... and it seems impossible to change the sensitivity when using "DAY/NIGHT" in profile management. There seems too much light...
Once I switched manually from day to night profile and back, the camera seems to understand and switch back to night profile automatically until next morning. Last night i was stuck in day profile with B/W mode because it seems also impossible to change to force color in day profile?? Its hard to get a "perfect" picture setting for night/day when i cannot change the sensitivity .. i would prefer a high sensitivity to change... Not sure if this was also a problem on the old firmware... according to this thread there where many changes to the smart IR settings... so maybe it a new problem ?

Only solution seems to set a scheduled profile management but when change to winter this could be a problem.... :-/
 
That is why most of us use this little tool because even in 2021, Dahua still hasn't figured out how to switch between day and night properly:

Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...

interestingly, my /other/ "Dahua" is an amcrest IP8M-T2599EW, and it seems to be doing auto day/night just fine without needing this..




ooooh, port should be the WEB port, not the rtsp thing. hah, whooops, works now with port 80.

It appears the link no longer works from the word doc on the first page to download the latest firmware. Is there an updated link? Thanks!

Edit: Found it, it's in this thread for the IPC-T5442TM-AS. Got confused because this post is pinned and titled "... latest new firmware...".
