It's already available for $239.99 on Andy's Amazon store. I can't make up my mind to get another 4K-X or IPC-T5842T-ZE myself as well.Will this be available soon? I just installed mine as an ID camera, and SmartIR is the only missing thing for me!
Hi Gary @garycrist
I'd like to invite you to test the smart IR fw for this IPC-T5842T-ZE, i send you a DM.
Please check.

@Wildcat_1 has a review for the smart IR version fw on this link.I meant the SmartIR firmware - I just bought and installed this camera from Andy!
I’ve also noticed that IVS doesn’t seem to work well at all on this firmware… essentially useless compared to the 5442 cams I have - will new firmware address this too?
I can set up the IVS - turn it on, draw zones and tripwires, etc - like I can with my 5442 cams, but it fails to trigger once everything is set up, or triggers without any motion if sensitivity is maxed - far more finnicky than I’m used to with the 5442 cams. Has to be a firmware issue. Normal video detection (basic motion) works fine.@plop55 you said the IVS never work on this camera, we haven't get the report, have you ever try on the IE browser?
Amazing! Just loaded it and what a huge difference with night IR!Just send you it.
Yes, this or 4K-X? I like that this is varifocal and IR but not sure if night performance is near the same?It's already available for $239.99 on Andy's Amazon store. I can't make up my mind to get another 4K-X or IPC-T5842T-ZE myself as well.
Both cameras are available in Andy's store now for around the same price. I think 4K-X is better in low light full color. I haven't install mine yet, but when I tested it on my window at night the other day it make the street looks like almost day time with just street light.Yeah, kind of different cams for different purposes. I think that for mine the 4K-X probably would be a bigger difference at night over the 5442T-ZE. At least assuming that I can get it to work well in color given the lack of light that I have here. I could easily add some but kind of trying to avoid that.
Ehhh... I know I'll break down and try the 4K-X eventually. Who am I kidding? It just looks too damn good. ; )
