Thanks again to @EMPIRETECANDY we have another new cam to check out.
IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED S2
4MP Full-color Fixed-focal Warm LED Eyeball WizMind Network Camera
Cams price is approximately $150.00 Us, shipping included at time of this posting.
Can be purchased Here or Here
Full specs: Link
This cameras claim to fame will be its F1.0 lens.
The IVS works as expected, the SMD also works fairly well.
It has a different mounting plate than previous cams. Plate is metal.
This one can be fitted on standard single gang junction box.
You mount the plate, then place the camera body over the stubs that are on the plate lining up the holes
To release the cam from the plate, press down on the locking tab and slid cam towards the tab.
Once cam is seated on the plate, you can then tighten the small set screw on the opposite side to prevent tampering.
This camera is intended to be used as a full color cam, it does not have IR, nor does it have an IR cut filter.
You do have the choice whether or not to run in cam in color or black and white.
It does have the two visible LED's on the front for illumination if needed.
In my testing I found that the LED's are really going to be very location dependant for how effective they will be in any given situation.
If you have other visible light in the area, that is the best option.
Daytime testing is uneventful, it performs on par with other's in the 5442 family of cams.
At night, I started out with the onboard LEDs at 100%, then moved them lower in 10% increments as you can see in the video.
I settled on 8%, otherwise it washed out faces anytime I was closer than 10-12ft. It did not auto adjust to prevent washout.
Near the end of the video, You can see that I add an additional 60watt LED bulb into the mix.
The light on the left is 7.5watts of LED in a lamp post.
I did find that the camera had reverted on its own to shutter priority, from manual. This occured when I would login to the cam....sometimes. Other times the settings would stick.
